as Paul Harvey would say "and now, for the rest of the Story"
I emailed in responce to the ad asking if the still had the game on Wednesday, and included my phone # in the message.
Thursday, got a one word answer "yes". I email right back, asking when/where I could see it and how much they wanted for it.
Friday, got the reply "you can see it about anytime. not looking to get rich, just need it gone". I reply almost immediately "where is it located at"
Saturday, got the reply "be easier to just give you instructions how to get here, where you coming from". I send my location
Sunday I get the directions, and they FINALLY included a phone number where I can call.
I go look at the game Sunday night, house of a young couple (mid 20s), story is its been in the family about 15 years, last 6 in the shed with a bad monitor.I look the game over and make an offer on it (more than 2 times what Ive been buying non working games for, simply because its a pac case)He said the game belonged to his parents and his mom said not to take less than what I offered, and agreed to sell me the game. I told him Id pick the game up on Thursday (I have to be in that neighborhood on Thursday for other reasons) and left.
before anyone asks, I didnt pick the game up Sunday because I didnt get paid until today. I call him at 2:30 today and ask if hes going to be home today. He replies, yea, be here all day. I tell him, ok, Ill be there in half an hour and get the game, because its calling for rain here Thursday. He says, Ok, see you in a few.
3:00 I was sitting in his driveway. He came out and said "Man, I hate to tell you this, but I just talked to my parents and they said if I was going to get rid of the game they want it back. anyone else notice the contradictions with yesterdays story?
Im not mad because you dont want to sell the game, or someone else offered you more for it (which is what I think happened), but fuckin tell me before I drive 30+ miles to your house to get it. I just talked to the ass 30 seconds before I got in the truck to drive to his house. I sit here at the house all day waiting on 2 individuals who were supposed to be here (for different reasons), and neither showed or called. then this shit.
LOL, didnt really have the room for it anyway
