If this was such a good deal, why do I feel ripped off?

[coolbrys]

So, as a backstory, I had to quit my job a little more then a month ago because it conflicted with school (I still live at home (18 years old) so it isn't a requirement for me to have a job, but I have been looking) and I've now ran out of money. A few days ago, a friend of my brother's had a deal. He had a 30gb video ipod (5g) and wanted Gears of War (he wasn't allowed to get rated M games.) Now, there's conflicting stories to as how this young individual got this iPod, but that's not the point of this story (I don't condone theft, btw.) I agreed to trade, knowing I wouldn't be able to buy GoW back. I hadn't even finished the game yet!

So now I have an iPod, but no GoW, and I'm missing it... and I don't know why!

Because, in your heart, you wanted Gears of War more.

I'll buy GOW, and Trade you for the Ipod

 

[YoshiFan1]

Sell the IPod on EBay if you don't need it. Then rebuy GOW and you'll have a lot of cash leftover as well.

Seriously - I'll send you my copy of Gears for the iPod if you want.

 

[Badgun]

I'll trade you a perfectly mint Gears of War Collectors Edition AND a set of Gears of War dog tags for the Ipod as long as it is in excellent shape.

If you feel ripped off many people wouild trade your ipod for GoW.

 

[djkunai]

I'll send you a sealed GoW with next day delivery for your iPod, assuming very nice condition.

Brain: $20 can buy many peanuts.
Homer: Explain how!
Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Homer: Woohoo!

One of the best Simpsons quotes I've heard in a while.
