Haha. I could've sent the poor guy about 20 copies in the last couple years. When I was buying lots to complete my NES collection, you couldn't take a step in my game room without hitting an Othello.

Right!!!? That why I was so confused. Like it’s one of the most common, least desired game on the system ha ha

HA, no.  I just wanted extra context.  Plus, Kijiji is a Canadian thing, right?  I'm in the southern US, so I would not be trekking up there for a box of games. Well, maybe THAT box, but I wouldn't be looking for it there on Kijiji.

Yeah I hear ya. My first post in this blog series explains the content of the posts and Kijiji.

Oh dang.  About what year was this?  Also, I need to hear more about that Metroid?  Good condition?  Did you even try to negotiate it separately?  Oh, and where do you live?

Wait...? Did you actually think it was still up for grabs and you were gonna swoop in and snag it?? Like I would actually advertise a sealed Metroid that I left behind??? HAHAHAHA

This was fall 2010, I went back to this same guy a few days later and bought all the games he had. Including the Metroid and a few other sealed items.

The traffic is what gets me. For 5 minutes and with no warning she puts you through that. Gross.

Well judging from that house, the $20 I was going to pay for the game was minuscule to her. I was just a little peasant ha ha
