I’ve written often about shoplifters we catch or find in the store, but I’ve never written about what happens when someone sells us stolen goods. It happens from time to time, and short of strapping everyone up to a lie detector there’s really no way for us to know ahead of time. One [...]

Over the last week I’ve had a flood of used ps2 games coming in. In fact I’ve purchased 74 since August 8. No idea why, people just need the money I guess, and some are upgrading to new game systems. Since our 8th Year anniversary is coming up next week I’ve been buying up as [...]

I usually get a couple calls a week from people who want to sell me a used computer. And hardly any of them have a clue as to what the computer is. When I ask what it is I tend to get answers of ‘it’s a dell’ or ‘it’s a compaq’ or even ‘it’s a [...]

Playstation 2 with 2 memory cards and [...]

I wish I had taken a picture of it. Some kid came in wanting to get rid of a Wii, looking for $80. Sounded good so far. Then he took it out of the bag. Only had the power cord and the cord to hook it up to the TV with.

I might still want it. Had someone bring in a PS2 to sell today, as usual I hooked it up to see if it works and this one didn’t. It would turn on, but out of 4 games I tested, none of them would load. Him and his friends kept mumbling to each other over [...]

Someone called up today wanting to sell an Xbox 360 with 6 games. Cool I thought, and asked him how much he was looking to get for it. $600. Riiiight. I realize that the system was $500 new and games are around $60 each, and then of course the 14% sales [...]
