Today I encountered a beast I had read about, but had never seen with my own eyes......
the Rabid Hoarder
I picked up about fifteen games the other day at a store that still had a good stock. I went today to a different store and walked down the PS2 19.99 or less aisle. There was nothing. I mean nothing.
I turn around and see him. He had a basketfull. Almost every green tag was in there. Games were stacked up like mad on the counter. He had 5 to 10 copies of DMC, AtL, BGE, Xenosaga, Red Faction, Perfect Dark etc. He was either too stupid, too lazy or to preoccupied with hoarding to figure how much each game would cost, so he kept pointing out to the frustrated clerk games he didn't want as they rang up. It was ridiculous.
I kept hanging around to see what he had. He started looking like Gollum with the ring, pulling the basket away. The other clerk gets free so I pull him aside and ask him what he has in the back.
Siren, Hitman, BGE, DMC. He had more of all in the back but didn't want the hoarder to know. I get a handful of games and go the counter. Gollum the Game Eater asks where I got them, as if how dare I found games that he couldn't have. I commented sarcastically that there were still games left. He then has the nerve to ask me if I took games out of his basket!!
Now yes this was the last day of the sale. Yes TRU obviously just wants to clear out stuff. People had had thier chance, but I waited till the end, so that I could get the newest markdowns. All I wanted to do was shop. The guy has a right to the games, and if he wants 50 games fine, but to literally hoard EVERYTHING to prevent someone else from getting anything is pathetic. I mean he literally dumped everything they had so no one could shop.
Now I can't complain too much:
DMC $1
BGE $2
AtL $1
VF:Evo Free
Crash Bandicoot 3 Free
Siren $3
Hitman $3
Mafia $7
Red faction $3
Xenosaga $5
Primal Free
Ribbit King $5
RE: CV $3
Some of those yes I got extras. This was an incredible deal.
At the 1st store the guy even scanned the coupon extra times!!!!!
He called a Sup and they debated and she did it to. I thought when he said the total that maybe some had gone down cheaper. The guy had seen the coupon before and acted like he knew what he was doing.
Anyways a happy new year.
Be on the look out for Gollum the Gameeater. If he gets there first....
the deals will be lost.

:shock:

:lol:
