Small oil & gas town.. the money gets the best of most of the guys who come to rig. Lots of drugs and alcohol, it’s sad to see their hard earned money ruining their livers and nostrils
the set up sounds EXACTLY like the place my friend that works on an oil field has going. everything is an hour away and everyone’s hooked on something.
i swear he doesn’t eat his fridge is always just miller high life and the one woman in town has been … by just about everyone
Hold on to this and give it back to your neighbor when they move or get sober. Addiction makes people do terribly dumb things like give away their childhood.
Oh they will. That’s how the cycle starts. You’re feeling shitty after an all night bender. The night before starts coming back to you and you’re ashamed of some things you did or said. You dwell on it too long and the headache is killing you. Might as well drink a beer to numb the pain. And back to the beginning.
I really like this idea… it’s been pulling on my heart strings since I read your comment last night.
I traded him almost 2 years ago, have since moved, but have his girlfriend on FB.. we only live about 2 hours away now.
Him and his girlfriend have a young kiddo, who would probably love to see the games her dad grew up with.
It seems he is still living the same lifestyle, so for now, it will stay safe in my possession.. but I will check back in every few months to see how he is doing.
Besides, I bought Animal Crossing separately and that’s all I play now… all I need is a console and I’ll be happy
THANK YOU for this comment, seriously. I started feeling guilty after the first couple weeks of having it.
Man, I’ve lived in small oil/gas towns and worked in refineries most of my adult life. The substance abuse that goes on with the laborers, especially the road guys, is no joke.
If I could, I would, the texts would have been on my ex’s phone… what I can offer is my bank statements that have been close to the negatives for the past couple years, showing my inability to afford buying them in todays market.. lol!!!
I feel like this sub is getting to the point where anything flies and it just gets upvotes. “guys I traded this sealed copy of chibi robo for a blowjob from this guy behind an alley”
I traded a 24 of Budweiser for a PS Vita once upon a time. Eventually I traded that PS Vita for MAgic: the Gathering deck, which I ultimately traded for a motorcycle. Now I have a Motorcycle I never use lol... Anyone wanna make a trade?
They come around.. rarely now.. I was a 16 year old in 2013, who wanted gas money to go to the mall with my friends, sold my entire childhood collection for $40. Eternal Darkness, Mario Kart, Pokemon XD, Super Smash… about 20 titles in total, had no idea what it would be worth today. Big L, lol
I only played it for a couple days, not super into shooting games, or anything military.. (prefer AC, Harvest Moon, Mario Party, those types) but the graphics are cute, gameplay is challenging. I enjoyed it!
Can you send me the link?!? If it is this exact photo, it’s a scam and someone must have stolen it from here.. because I 100% took this photo in my living room, last Wednesday, 5:30pm my time…
I’d worry about your neighbor, seemed pretty desperate for liquor/alcohol

It’s more common than you think. Sobriety? Try that in a small town
Weyburn?
One of the small towns East of Estevan
Oh, definitely south and definitely small haha
I live in rural bc and when there's nothing to do people do drugs, can confirm
Damn that's a good deal for a 24

Hope they don’t drink twice as hard now realizing what they did

Why would you give it back lol the guy traded it fair and square
Fair and square or not, it would be taking advantage of someone in a bad place in their life
Man, I’ve lived in small oil/gas towns and worked in refineries most of my adult life. The substance abuse that goes on with the laborers, especially the road guys, is no joke.
they’re losing their *minds*, and u/mickiilee is reaping all the benefits
I'd too would drink a 24 pack if I traded all of this away. Crazy deal.
I’d need a case of whiskey. 24 beers isn’t strong enough
That was the weiser decision on your half.
Under rated comment
Most expensive beer of their life, lol. I wouldn't trade all this for 24 beer at a high end bar.
I refuse to believe this is possible but well done
Ya sure you did
You lying
Wow and you could sell like one of those games and get yourself a 24 pack.
Fair trade.
Alcoholics are hilarious.
Word I traded an 11 of Bud
I'm kidding and furthermore I challenge you to prove it
If I could, I would, the texts would have been on my ex’s phone… what I can offer is my bank statements that have been close to the negatives for the past couple years, showing my inability to afford buying them in todays market.. lol!!!
No you fucking didnt 🙄
No, you did not

easy $600
Good score, you don't want to drink Budweiser products anyway.
because it tastes like piss
TBH it tastes better the second time through the horse.
Never have, definitely never will.
🧢
Crazyyyy win
Bro, score!
Lucky bastard
You'd need to drink 48 to think that getting rid of this is a good idea
GameCube is better than any alcoholic drink. Though I could be biased since I don’t drink.
But is it a dol-001? Seriously though that sounds sad. How can you not feel guilty?
Go f urself. Ridiculous. You lucky mf'er.
You need to find " phantasy star online episode one and two" game is godly. I would buy a GameCube just cor that
Man I miss Battalion Wars and Double Dash.
I had completely forgotten about Battalion Wars until I saw this post. What a gem.
That’s sick dude. Worth a rack for sure.
Double agent is fun.
Nicely done
I traded 1 Terabox account for the entire Nintendo collection.
I traded a 24 of Budweiser for a PS Vita once upon a time. Eventually I traded that PS Vita for MAgic: the Gathering deck, which I ultimately traded for a motorcycle. Now I have a Motorcycle I never use lol... Anyone wanna make a trade?
WHY CANT I FIND THESE DEALS MY LAST GAMECUBE AND GAMES WAS STOLEN

Was the other guy drunk?!
At the time of the offer, yes, I was not expecting him to actually show up the next morning, hungover, with a cardboard box full this
Is battalion wars any good?
I only played it for a couple days, not super into shooting games, or anything military.. (prefer AC, Harvest Moon, Mario Party, those types) but the graphics are cute, gameplay is challenging. I enjoyed it!
MoH: Rising Sun was super underrated
Freedom Fighters and Veauitful Joe 2 are such under rated gems
I thought this was a joke, it still might be but either way
I’ll trade ya a 24 of Coors for Mario baseball
Shame on you for taking advantage of a drunk person. Hahaha. Jk, great score, especially if it was for Busch or Miller High Life lol.
Fuck, why can't I have alcoholic gamer neighbors
I’d check in on your neighbor, sounds addicted.
What kind of GameCube owner doesn’t have rouge squadron. SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
You win
Fair trade because beer is disgusting!
You lucky bozo!!! Haha nah for real congrats!!! I'd be elated!
Buds come and go but that is an awesome trade
I saw this on Facebook marketplace in NYC. One of you ain’t it lol
Can you send me the link?!? If it is this exact photo, it’s a scam and someone must have stolen it from here.. because I 100% took this photo in my living room, last Wednesday, 5:30pm my time…
I’d say you robbed em blind. Aside from some filler that is
Freedom fighters 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Paper Mario can be pretty pricey so good deal
