Ohhh, that sports set is so pretty!
Honestly when you say you want a dupe for your collection you basically threw yourself under the bus and called yourself a reseller too. Who buys dupes of games maybe a system for backups but back up games. I don't buy it. The guy beat you to the deal with a no better practice then acquiring dupes. Maybe don't take dupes and leave them for the next collector. But wait you do it to stop those resellers therefore becoming a reseller yourself or using it for barter trade bait etc.same thing.I had a pretty successful yard sale day and things have been pretty decent now for the last month (with one day that I made some horrible buys).
I did have a issue this last week though. I have always been a believer that whoever arrives first to a yard sale is the one that gets first dibs. I usually do not wait for a yard sale to open but I did arrive 30 minutes early to one this past weekend. I am outside waiting by my car when another car pulls up (an acura) and the guy walks to the sale on his cell phone. I ask for video games and the lady takes them out for me and the guy starts pulling the games. I politely tell him I was going to take them and he starts telling me I have to share. He hands me a game and takes another. I again state I was going to take that and he states I have to share. He quickly pays and leaves, while on his cell phone the whole time.
I have seen this guy around, he buys what seems to be resalable games and definitely does not "share". Any ideas on how to deal with this guy without making a scence next time I see him? I wanted to pull him aside and tell him he was wasn't being cool but I figured he must have needed the $10 he was going to make more than I needed a dupe for my collection.
When I'm in a situation like that (seller brings out games because I specifically asked for them), I'll put my back to the house and physically get between the box they bring out and the road. Don't wait by your car, get up on their porch and camp out like a caveman with shifty eyes. Make sure that no one else gets to see the goods until you're done considering them.I had a pretty successful yard sale day and things have been pretty decent now for the last month (with one day that I made some horrible buys).

I thought this up until last week when I picked up 10 cable-less SNES consoles for $10 a piece. Thought that was a steal - none work!Nintendo hardware has always been built like tanks. I've yet to encounter any nintendo hw that's DOA. Maybe a toaster here and there but thats about it.
I'd almost be afraid to use it since they are notorious for CD problems. Just pack it up and stare at it lovingly.Definitely my best 'late day' finds in a few years. I'm glad to have a working CDx which takes up a lot less space than the Sega Genesis I have plugged in up in my game cave.
I won it from the contest. I used the daily free entry code (1 per day). I won it on the 5th or 6th day. No diarrhea!Bend me! Did you win that from the Taco Bell contest or was that something you purchased from someone who did?
Everyone on reddit that has won one seems to have also won that way. I wonder if any big box codes actually won?I won it from the contest. I used the daily free entry code (1 per day). I won it on the 5th or 6th day. No diarrhea!
dat black sports dreamcast tho...Damn, I haven't posted in quite sometime. I've been finding things (too busy/lazy to post). Regardless, here's the things I found in the past 2 weeks.
I added everything up and it summed up to $65.00 (not too pricey).
The white DreamCast controllers were in great shape

You're right, I don't. Had no idea what they were, read what english there was on the cases and came to that conclusion based on things like "...comprised in this video disc (including laser disc and video casette tape)" and "the program contained in this laser disc is liscensed for..."I don't know who you're trying to ask for help from from your post, and I don't think you know what laser discs are.
