3: Became good friends with someone here from [NAME REDACTED] who helped my gamecube collection. He mentioned he was missing one final piece to complete his woolworths batman forever set. 5 minutes later I found it on ebay. He was so thankful, he gifted me my favourite NES game CIB, Kirbys adventure!
2: I got outbid for the Miya 2000 by £1! Completely forgetting about it until 12 hours later when the owner sent me a PM. He asked me if I wanted to buy it outright for the price I bid. I asked him what happened. Apparently the winner got disqualified for not living in England, which was part of the rules. Immediately paid him and to this day its still the strangest gaming peripheral made!
1: while looking up going prices for the wu tang controller, someone was selling the memory card. I've never seen or heard of it before so was hesitant. With 0 bids and 10 seconds left I pulled the trigger and won from the opening bid. £1, free shipping. What makes this my favourite is because 1 second later, I found a £1 coin on the floor! Free rare memory card!
