    Default Tricked the Pawn Shop Guy!!

    So he's had Virtua Racing for Genesis (loose cartridge) on the shelf for $10 for a while... And now yesterday I see he has it in original case.. No manual....

    Now his price list on the wall is $6 for Genesis games unless otherwise priced

    Well this case had no price on it... So I put it down on the counter and said, "Genesis games... 6 bucks right!?" "oh lets see... yeah 6 bucks"

    So I guess he didn't recall having that game loose for $10!!!

    I feel a little guilty... naaa!!! not really!!

    Is that game really worth a lot? I picked up my copy this year for 3 bucks loose.

    If the sign said 6 bucks than I say you got it fair and square.

    Faire deal... Yeah I agree! But it's just because he was selling one loose for $10... And i'd be more than willing to buy one for $10!!

    Not in the wild! Yeah I can buy it on ebay complete for around $5 PLUS SHIPPING! And actually I got a psp charger too for $5 and he said $10 for everything... so I did actually pay $5 for the game!

    VR is cheap though, it often goes on ebay for $1. Though it's more like $4-6 shipped. (I got mine for ~$4 shipped iirc, the first Genesis game I actually bought when I started collecting last spring )

    With the case is another matter.

    Pawn shop guys just get what they can out of you. If they think you don't notice a slip up, you'll pay more.

    Like some still have their PS2 games labeled $15 each, if you didn't ask them first without looking how much they wanted "on PS2 games", they'd probably hold those outdated individual prices to you.

    you guys in the US are so lucky, were i live there is no way i can by a mega drive game for those prices, finding a game for 5€ is a major chalange the cheapest cart only games go for 7,5€ in other words about 10$. its a bad place for collecting
