Panic buying |
On our anniversary last week, my wife and I were walking by a Gamestop and decided to do a little browsing. Lo and behold being a survival horror fan, I came across a used and elusive copy of Calling for the Wii. For two years, I've searched for this game high and low never finding it in its complete state of disc, instruction booklet, and orginal white Wii case until that fateful night on our anniversary. Unfortunately, it's wasn't in near mint condition, and it sold for the used price of $34.99 USD. But then my wife graciously said, "Happy Anniversary." Fearing that I would not find such a rarity in its completion again, I anxiously took advantage of the situation, and became the proud owned of a rare Wii title. But ironically just two days later, I came across several new copies on Amazon. Thankfully, Gamestop's return policy of used games was honored when I returned the game for a full refund. And I soon purchased a new copy for just under $28 USD. If I hadn't paniced when I first came across Calling at Gamestop, I would have saved myself the trouble and anxiety. And thankfully, there were NO RIOTS over the situation. True story.
Did you honestly thing that there would be riots over panic buying...?
