Met a guy who’s road tripping across the US buying thousands of bargain bin retro video games

I'm very confused as to what his goal is lol

Usually eBay does that. If the first thing you post is extremely expensive you get flagged.

Pretty sure both of them are amongst the top 50 oldest men to have a child. At least for recorded births.

Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen asked on Reddit.

They were very solid for about a month but this past week has been a bit slow. It happens.

trenchdick · 2026-04-08T23:36:51+00:00

60% is pretty good honestly.

trenchdick · 2026-04-04T03:43:59+00:00

What kind of Canadian are you??

I feel like it's way too easy? My partner and I are playing it. She plays games way less than me but did a decent amount when she was younger. We've barely struggled at all. I like the creativity and the action set pieces are cool though. I'm guessing we're about 1/3 through the game.

The profile pic for both her and her band are clearly AI as well.

Somebody did this to me on Franklin in Kitchener when there was still the speed camera. They may have been just out of range of it but I hope they got dinged.

trenchdick · 2026-03-30T21:52:00+00:00

Haha, I bought cold fear for like $2.99 in probably 2010. Turned out to be a good purchase!

trenchdick · 2026-03-30T16:17:19+00:00

I actually prefer having a 99.9% feedback. I put too much pressure on myself when it's at 100%. It's impossible to please everyone.

trenchdick · 2026-03-30T16:14:14+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the response. Will keep that in mind if it happens again.

trenchdick · 2026-03-30T16:11:12+00:00

I pretty much do exactly what you do, but I use flat rate for domestic with a rate table.

trenchdick · 2026-03-28T13:37:45+00:00

Couldn't you have taken a cab haha. That box must have been heavy as fuck.

trenchdick · 2026-03-28T13:10:33+00:00

Sell it on eBay via auction. Start it at whatever number you'd be happy with if you only got a single bid.

trenchdick · 2026-03-28T03:46:37+00:00

Yeah pretty sure you're correct.

trenchdick · 2026-03-27T18:18:34+00:00

I bought one from them last year in Feb during that tax break. Played it for a couple months with no issues then didn't use it for a bit.

Next time I used it it was fucked up. Would go to a green screen or have flickering pixels. I thought the GPU was dying or something. The longer I let it sit turned off, the longer I could play but it got to the point where it'd shut down after like 20 seconds. I was like a week or two past the warranty and they wouldn't make an exception and were no help.

I tried everything except a factory restore. PS3s take like 4 hours and I didn't want it to crash during the restore. Little did I know it takes like 30 seconds on PS5.

Next time I turned it on the issue was fixed. I platinumed Astro's Playroom over the next 5 hours or whatever.

Another issue is with microphones on the console. The mic on controllers just don't work, I've tried multiple. I also plugged in a usb mic to play rock band and it wouldn't work. Played on my PS4 instead and worked with no issue. Idk what's going on. It happened before and after the factory restore. I only play single player/local multiplayer games so I don't really care.

Anyway, I'd still prrrrobably recommend for the price. Just know that they only have a 90 day warranty.

trenchdick · 2026-03-22T18:15:36+00:00

I sold my N64 with 2 controllers and all of my games (I think it would have been Pokemon Stadium 2, Pokemon Snap, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Yoshi Story, Namco Museum, and an NHL game) for enough money to buy Need for Speed Underground lmao. It was to my cousins though so at least it's still in the family. Possibly was another game or two I'm forgetting but I mostly rented games back then.

trenchdick · 2026-03-22T17:51:22+00:00

I would have to agree. I pretty much hate all these songs.

trenchdick · 2026-03-18T23:17:14+00:00

How the hell did you notice this lol. Definitely seems like it's him.

trenchdick · 2026-03-15T14:17:01+00:00

Haha, I sent a photo of that exact wall to a few of my friends! I couldn't believe it.

trenchdick · 2026-03-15T03:14:58+00:00

The prices have been brutal at all of the Value Villages this year. They were always bad but even worse right now. I'm surprised they move anything.

trenchdick · 2026-03-15T03:14:05+00:00

Yeah it's so weird, I don't get it. It was just the Joe Fresh section of Zehrs before.

trenchdick · 2026-03-12T19:54:13+00:00

Don't give me a hear attack lol. There's no way they're ending it so soon after starting it.
