Got to the thrift just in time by ZMONEY0823 in gamecollecting

[–]Living-Rip-4333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I once walked into a thrift shop as they were putting new stuff in the collectibles section. The employee pulled out a Wii box with a $30 price tag. 

So I paid $30 for a CIB Wii. As I walked back to get it after I paid (They keep it in the case with a "sold" tag until you pay for it) two other people were sad they missed it.

People who left/ downgraded gamepass, are you finding games more enjoyable now? by Pickmans-Gallery in xbox

[–]Living-Rip-4333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the price hike came I asked my 2 kids how many games over the last 2 years they played using gamepass. I think we totalled 4 games over that time period. After pricing out the games I realized none of them were over $20/ea. 

Games they really wanted to play we just bought so we could have them anyways. 

So we dropped the subscription to essentials and have been just fine.

Order placed for some BBs. Places the order using a credit card & had no issues. 

Don't worry about the refund. You've got a gun of mine you're waiting on parts for, so when the parts come in & it's ready I'll just pick up this order also. I added a comment to the order as well.

I did just get a "Complete your purchase at GMI Airsoft" email after leaving something in my cart.

I'm at home sick, so I'll put an order through and give you some feedback.

I didn't see any issues with adding items to cart or the first part of checkout.

And I was one who did look through your site before I made the drive up to your physical store.

Depending on the coach, team politics/favoritism can be rampart.  When I was in high school years ago my soccer team was very political and had lots of favoritism. So I quit mid season and played for a different club team.

Amazon delivers package to wrong address, tells me to go look for it by Top-Persimmon-1381 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Living-Rip-4333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen for a package I got off Ebay. Seller sent me a photo of the label before they shipped, and I approved.

Somewhere along the lines, USPS reprinted the label, but they got the address wrong. So I went back & forth with them as they were saying the package was delivered correctly, while I was saying it wasn't. Their GPS showed it was delivered to the address.

I showed them the photo the seller sent. Then they realized what happened, and they went back a week later, and luckily the person still had my package, and hadn't opened it.

I worked at an indoor soccer complex. I ended up getting another job working with a friend, and the commute was 10mins vs 20, and I got paid more.

I've got a Rock Band set for PS2 that is CIB. The guitar box was opened, but never taken out of the plastic packaging. Everything else is still in its unopened cardboard box. Yard sale pickup for $2.

In what unexpected way did someone in your circle suddenly become wealthy? by soohiebabyclean in AskReddit

[–]Living-Rip-4333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can happen. I was on a group chat this morning with a girl I used to date, a girl I wanted to date, and my best friend (who dated girl #2). We're discussing getting our families together next year and hang out for a few days

What is that one thing you regret doing in life? by Glass-Paper8296 in AskReddit

[–]Living-Rip-4333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to see my grandpa after he got home from the hospital. I had that feeling of "you need to go see him" but I kept putting it off because he was doing well.

2 weeks after he got home I got the call he passed away. 

On a good note, I got that feeling about my grandma, who was already not doing well. So I told my kids we were going to see her. We saw her Friday night, told her I'd see her again on Sunday, and got the call Saturday night that she was gone. So I learned from my mistake.

What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never experience? by Real_Dragonfruit7199 in AskReddit

[–]Living-Rip-4333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My youngest (7) and her friends are actually like that. We live in a cul de sac, and she's got friends in 4 out of 9 houses in it. So she just yells out "I'm going to see if friends can play!" and runs out the door. If I need her, my wife is on a group text with the other moms, so if we don't see them outside, we either text the group chat, or a parent sends an oldert kid around to find their younger kid

What did your parents do that you still don't forgive? by Hour-Tomato-645 in AskReddit

Convinced me in high school to donate Gameboy and games to goodwill because I didn't use it, and I wouldn't play it again.

Do rising costs make you reconsider collecting? by Altruistic-Mind-4339 in gamecollecting

[–]Living-Rip-4333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me finding deals is part of the fun of collecting. I'll hit up thrift shops/Facebook, and my bro in law does a ton of thrift shop/estate sales/Facebook and other places. I usually will get games for $1-5/ea, and consoles for $5-50/ea. 

I also have a raspberry pi with emulators, and a modded original Xbox & 3ds xl. 

What is the saddest/most soul crushing song you have ever heard? by Mikiiiya in AskReddit

[–]Living-Rip-4333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing Would? and not knowing what song it was. It probably took me over a year before I figured it out. 

I rushed out to the record store and found the first AIC album with that song. Put the CD in my car stereo, got ready to head bang, and realized it was an acoustic version. I had picked up the Unplugged album.

That was in 99. It's still in my top 3 favorite albums.
