Right. Yes. No, that’s the right amount. It’s $1. And that’s pretty generous.

Yeah, I remember that. It was probably about $40, yes. But that was, like, years ago. And about three portable Nintendo systems back. There’s the DSi now and then the DS before than and the Game Boy Advance, which is what this is for. People don’t even play that anymore. This game doesn’t even use the touch screen.

Found it in a drawer, huh? That’s really interesting. I guess somebody into retro games will probably buy it once we trash the box and the manual. Nobody gives a crap about that stuff. We’ll be lucky if we make $3 or $4 off of it. Then there’s overhead and stuff. Gotta have overhead.

So, anyway, this game is so old that nobody would really want it. The dollar is really more than it’s even worth the time for me to open the display case of old Game Boy games and stick it in there. Like, I’d have to find three other things to do at the same time to even make it worth the company’s time, you know? Just sayin’.

So your son’s going to college now and you miss him? That sucks, lady. Sorry about that. What school does he go to?

Michigan? Are you fucking kidding me? That school is for losers and meth heads. Oh, hey, sorry. I’m just kidding. Don’t cry, lady.

So, anyway, $1 is about the best we can do unless you have an Edge card.  Then you’d get 10 percent on trade-ins and a magazine subscription. So you’d get $1.10 instead of $1, but then you’d owe us about $9 for the magazines.

You don’t read gaming magazines? Oh, OK, that’s cool.

Would you like to pre-order Resident Evil 5? No?

Cool, that’s cool.

OK, well, here’s that dollar. Sure you don’t want to put that toward some Wii points? Maybe you wanna buy Wii Fit, do some yoga and whatnot?

Oh. That’s too bad. Sorry about your leg.

So, here’s your dollar. No, there’s a dollar on there. Oh, ha ha, you thought I meant like a dollar bill? No, sorry, we give it to you on a card that lets you buy stuff at GameStop.

You needed the dollar for food? Yeah, times are tough. Right. That’s cool.

Hey, we have some cooking games for the DS. That’s like the Game Boy that they have now, not like the one that your son played games on when that Donkey Kong game was out.

It’s only like $120. You have a dollar toward it already.

OK. That’s cool. Well maybe somebody else could use the store credit. You could give it to your son or whatever. They have GameStops in Michigan.

Sorry about that. OK, well you have a nice day now, lady. Come back anytime when you want to spend that dollar.

Hey, wait a minute. You know what? Let me keep that card and I’ll give you a dollar for it. I feel bad about your son going to such a shit school. No, really, just take it.  I’ll use the store credit for something. Just don’t tell my manager, OK? He really hates when we do stuff off the books.

Cool.  All right, well have a nice day, lady.  Come back anytime.

Let us know if you still want that pre-order.
