StillDontLikeYou 8 years 2 months ago Posts: 226	Yeah I had that happen when Madden came out. I grabbed it, and then I don't know why, put it down to look at something else, and I turn back 5 seconds later.........GONE ops: My own fault though. Since then I have learned when I see something I want, I shall hold until purchased.

Thankfully I told them I was looking at that, they let me have it. However, I was too stupid to see the OTHER copy of UB22 in the bin, till after I bought the game. D:

doom_marine 8 years 2 months ago Posts: 305	The only reason I brought it up was because of an incident yesterday. I saw a Super Scope Six in a glass case, but I didn't have enough money so I asked my parents and by the time I got back there was some kid with it. And since you can't take an item from the case along with you, I was powerless.

doom_marine 8 years 2 months ago Posts: 305	Yeah. But I did the right thing and helped them out a little. Since they were gonna buy it anyway I figured what the heck, and told them the games they needed(the boy already had Yoshi Safari). Better luck next time.

I used to do that all the time, I actually did not too long ago. I saw a copy of I Spit On Your Grave millenium edition which is OOP, and hid it behind some Kenny G concert dvd I will admit, I have hidden stuff in stores and forgot where I put it ops:

I do however have one where I was a young teen. I was reaching to pick up a game (I think it was Super Smash Bros for the N64) when some little snot-nosed, jerk-face ankle biter sees that I'm grabbing the last copy, and seriously bodychecks me out of the way, grabs it and runs for the counter where his mom was hanging out. I picked myself up off the floor, and the Clerk refused to sell the game to the little kid, instead giving it to me (at the employee's 10 percent discount!) I'll never forget the image of him bawling his eyes out being dragged by his hair out of the store.
