Am i wrong?

Well, recently ive been going to the goodwill in my local area, both times, i bought something very priceworthy.... first day i bough a colecovision for 5$ (its a classic "computer family entertainment system") and that same time i bought a top loading NES for 2$. Yesterday, i bought an atari 2600 for 2.14$ with 18 games, all of the hookups, and a few manuals. Ive put the atari, and the nes on ebay and the nes has already made 27$, fair or no?

Any item is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. It's no different than purchasing a house, fixing it up and flipping it to make money.....well, without the fixing up bit....you get the idea.

Sure, but extra loot on top of a steady income is always nice. I'm doing some contract work at my old lab for that very reason.

Fausto need new toys.

No its not wrong! It's the essence of the game! I use to buy clothes from a thrift stores for dimes, clean em up and fix em up and sell them to people for 10-20 bucks. Man, I loved when that retro look was in....
