The Hunt and the Haggle

The Hunt:

Just a simple hankering for a game that I couldn't get out of my mind. It was just like Haunting Ground. I saw it on the K-mart clearance rack and instead of snatching it up at a bargain price, I contemplated it's value... "Is it really worth $14.99?". Before I knew it the inevitable had happened and as a result I spent two weeks awaiting the game in the mail (wondering if it would even make it) and had paid $5 more to boot! I learned a lesson from Haunting Ground-strike while the iron is hot!

The Haggle:

No haggle necessary. I saved myself the worry of internet shopping and, best of all, shipping and paid $10.00 for Indigo Prophecy(PS2)! Having just completed Disaster Report, I started Indigo last night and it is amazing.

To be honest, this isn't the truth. I did indeed leave the store twice without purchasing it even though it was $10.00, a new copy and the last one in the bin.

Once a cheapskate always a cheapskate.
