^Read Title^

For me it would have to be a store in the flea market that sold rotten vegetables, clothes and a few used video games. The game I bought was SMB2.

Back in high school I sold a guy Everquest for $70 at the band hall.

But I think I've only bought games for myself at the usual places.

The weirdest place? In the locker room. The weirdest purchase, however? In the same place.

It was the day before 2005's Thanksgiving break. An obnoxious trouble maker in Gym Class had Mario Kart DS, and I wanted it badly. After a 20 minute discussion or so, we had a trade: My Xbox for his Mario Kart DS.

On Monday, November 28th, 2005, we traded: I finally had Mario Kart DS, and he finally had a PS2. He gave me MKDS, and since it would be near impossible to carry all my books AND a PS2 in my backpack, I decided to bring it the next day. The next day came, and he wasn't at school. He didn't show up for a while. The next day he didn't show up, I talked to my Gym teacher, and I was told that he swapped schools.

So basically, I got a free MKDS. Not much of a purchase, however, but it beat having to pay for it!

Edit: Fixed the 5th word to "the".

I bought numerous games frmo the Internet for an undisclosed sum of money. That's about it for a "weird" game buying factor.

I don't really have any weird places. Maybe from garage sales and thrift stores, but that's hardly weird.

I've bought many videogames from the Internet, and that's a pretty fucked up place, so I'm gonna say the Internet.

Best 10 bucks ever spent that year.

Eh, I got Kirby's Dream Course at a flea market for $5. Worked perfectly, except for the fact that my friend kept beating me at it.

I generally stick with pretty normal places to buy games, so that's about as odd as it gets with me.

I bought DS Phat, New Super Mario Bros., and Need for Speed for $60. The transaction was made in the back of math class. You guys did it when nobody was around but I did it right under my teachers nose.

I bought a number of my SNES games off a friend's big brother in elementary school for 5DM each (which is like $3-4), each of them on the local playground.
Among them were Terranigma and the accursed Super Mario World.

A weird indoor flea market type place called the Bazaar.

Or my apartment.

Whichever.

Man, I bet doing something that rebellious really would've gotten the teachers riled up! Oh, dearie me! I bet the crack dealers shit themselves when you're ballin' around campus.
