Once upon a time on an alien world known as "circa 1999" the whole videogame collecting/speculation thing had yet to take hold, so you could still go out to any regular garage sale and the grandparents or empty nest folks would be selling off their kids or nephews or whoever's collections, and there'd routinely be bargains like the original Donkey Kong Country for a quarter or two, and maaannnnn I just hoovered that stuff up, to the point where even now my eyes will be darting around at a modern sale and I'll be rummaging through the toy boxes just in case there's a long forgotten cartridge.
Ed. Note: Not for re-selling purposes! Fuck that noise, I wanna play all the games and pass them on when I'm done and gone
