I'm digressing a bit, but I'll share a story:
I worked at a game store back in '96 and '97. We stopped taking Sega CD games. Someone brought in Lunar: Eternal Blue and I paid them $28 for it. It was absolutely mint. There was a Half-Price Books in the same strip mall where I had seen a Lunar: Eternal Blue guide for $5 many months prior. They still had it, so I snagged that, too.
Fast-forward to '99. I need money. I ebay them both as a set. Get $100 winning bid. Email the guy to set up payment (way before PayPal). Received no response for a week and a half, despite lots of emails.
Finally forced to relist it. It only goes for $68 this time -- someone got a great freaking deal. The SAME DAY the relist is over, I get a check from the first winning bidder. Mother >bleep
