One of the funniest stories that happened to me was i walked into a store that sold used games and they had a hundreds of NES games behind glass and when i asked about them i was told they used to be the owners private collection and they haven't been priced yet. So the owners wife told the clerk he could sell them to me at the price in their computer plus an $8 sir-charge.
My 1st thoughts was well i'm not getting any of these games, but decided to pick out some rare games and see what comes up. And even with the sir-charge i got Panic Restaurant for $30, and sense i got that one so cheap i over payed on a many others just because of the great deal i got on the one.
Then after i left, another customer came in asking about Panic Restaurant and he was told it just sold. When he found out it sold for $30 he started yelling at the her telling her how she was robbed and the game goes for over $500 (its $175 at best for cart only on Ebay) and she was mad at me saying I cheated her and i knew that it goes for over $500 and I didn't tell her. I was told later by a friend I was banned from her store.
Whats funny is another game collector in town had the same experience, he came in asked about a game behind the counter and the clerk looked it up in the computer and sold it to him, then she banned him because the clerk sold him a game under what she thought it was worth. Saying again "he conned the clerk to sell it to him".
Has anyone else have crazy stories like this hunting old games? lol
