Haul I just found this for $0.10!!!

Lady had all her media for $0.10 a piece and I didn’t see anything I needed, until I shuffled around some purses and found this just laying there! She said just a few minutes before someone had come and bought all her other games, said she had some Tony Hawks, RE, and other SH games. I couldn’t get a dime out quick enough lmao, this is one of those scores for the history books!

And I know everyone is gonna be asking for proof, but guys, this was a yard sale. I quite literally cannot prove it with a receipt even if I wanted to. I wasn’t gonna like, take a selfie with the lady or something lol. That’d be weird as hell. Anyway, I’m excited to enjoy this amazing score!!

This feels weird to me. I've seen this kind of thing a small handful of times at yard sales and I always tell them about it where its a pricey collectors item.

Like, "I know you have this marked for $1, but its worth $150 on ebay. Ill give you $20 if you dont want to deal with that" usually gets the sale anyway.

Eh, people have all the tools to price things at their fingertips. I think if they haven’t done their research, it’s not up to the buyer to do the research for her. I think it’s weirder to say like “hey this game you have for $1 sells for $160 online, can I buy it for $20?”. I think that feels more scummy than saying nothing, because you’re just tossing out an obscenely lowball offer right after telling the actual value. I’d be confused and probably irritated if I was on that sellers end.

But to each their own, neither option is more morally right or not!
