my new plan for getting rich

[chad]

my daughter bought a nintendo game with some of her xmas money. it was $19.99.

she beat it in one day.

i listed it on ebay, and by mistake priced it wrong at $29.99 (i was doing 3 or 4 things at one time).

somebody bought it, and 1 other person emailed me asking if i had any more for that price.

there are pages of them for sale on ebay for $19.99, the price we paid.

so, i am going to buy games, mark them up $10, and resell them.

what do you all think? ;)

kidding of course, but another anecdotal example of how stupid the general population is.

Chad, your daughter must be pretty good at games. You should contact nintendo, have them send you new games for your daughter to test..to try and beat them. Sell the games on ebay, charge nintendo $1000 an hour for your daughter's testing time. Buy some gold and silver during this dip. :)

Or, save you and your daughter the time and trouble of game testing, and just:

Who the Hell still plays console? Should stick to PC.

I might point you towards emulators and ROMS. An emulator emulates the old NES, SNES, N64, SEGA, or arcade system. The ROM is the game. You can get every old game but you need to actually own the game (this is a backup of it) otherwise its illegal.

Does not work for newer games. But the old stuff was better, anyway. For 19.99 you get a USB gamepad controller that plugs into your computer and you use that to play them on the computer.

she's got a nintendo ds, not console. egyptian, can you get emulators for the ds?

Yes you can, but just be warned, it's illegal to download emulators and roms for games and consoles that you don't actually own. It's like pirating music & movies.
