So I'm pretty new here, and I probably have no business just asking around like this, but I figured i'd ask here before I tried to go either to 1) ebay (and get super over-charged) or 2) the local privately owned game store (and get even more over-charged).

So, tis the season for giving.  These are some games that I'm looking at getting.  I'm not super crazy about getting them mint, or in the box or anything, but if any of you have any duplicates of these games, I'd love to take them off your hands.

I get paid on Friday, so if any of you can help me out, I'll be happy to send you some money via paypal.

(The ones with strikethroughs have been offered ... thank you!!!)

I know you guys won't try to dick me over by charging $25 for Excitebike, so I just wanted to say thank you in advance, and also thank you for having such an outlet for people into this sort of thing.  This community seems great.

PM'd!

The only one I have as a dup is Chiller, but I can't let that go for very cheap.  Good luck and welcome to the forums though.

Thank you all for your prompt replys.  I have sent messages to those of you who offered goods.

Parpunk, I don't need Excitebike, but thank you for offering.  I was just using that as an example, because my local game store has the "popular" games going for like $20-$25 loose.  It makes me sad.

If anyone else can help me out with anything, let me know.  I do nothing at work but sit on this computer.

Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay here. I have some games on eBay atm, they aren't highly priced and you might find some more games you'd like. Have a look in the eBay section, corse good luck finding stuff you mentioned above.

I just wanted to let you know that I forgot about your game when I went to the post office on Saturday   I'm not sure what their hours are going to be like this weekend, and it may be pretty crazy anyway if they are open.  I'll try to get it out on Saturday if at all possible though.  It was pretty weird though, I had a feeling I was forgetting something...

Thank you everyone.  Your response has been pretty overwhelming.  I didn't anticipate this many people offering stuff, so without thinking I spent a lot of money on eBay.  Unfortunately that means less money to spend on the stuff you guys are offering to help me with.

Hopefully when I get paid next, you will all still have the things you're offering.  I'll be in contact with you all soon.  I really appreciate you all keeping a look out for me.
