When I wasn't spending my time this weekend dancing and singing around the Maypole, I was finding other ways to hammer a few extra nails into my seat in hell.
I think I've mentioned a good 5,000 times or so that my older brother runs semi-annual video game shows in the area. Sunday was lucky #8 and TooManyGames tried out a new location at the Leesport Market. Now, the Leesport Market was also open that day for the flea market across the way. While I was running the door several people, mainly elderly, saw fit to stroll through the doors paying no mind to me sitting there collecting entrance fees, and started wondering into the show. Several times throughout the day I was forced to yell at people to pay the $5 fee or get the hell out. At one point I'm fairly sure I was cursed out in Spanish.
Regardless, a good time was had by all. Lots of rare goods were sold, games played, prizes won, and networking made. I had the genius idea of buying a few dozen boxes of Pocky at Wal-Mart and selling them for nearly twice the price. Sold out in about an hour. Made a few bucks, had a few laughs....

Nice photo, I see a cute pair... and that guy next to you.
Seriously though, given what you went through these past few months, it cheers my heart to see you having fun. I wish a little of that could rub off on me (naughty!).

Suncoast (do they even exist anymore) had the same idea as you about the Pocky, except they raise the price of it 3x or 4x more than what I can pay in an asian grocery store.
The idea of selling asian snacks online for 2 or 3 times the price has crossed my mind a few times before... Reply to this
