I’m glad my knowledge of MMO economics translates well to the real world.

So I was burning time in Toys R Us before class and I see not one, not two, but five copies of the original Phoenix Wright sitting in a clearance bin for 10 bucks a pop. I know the internet well enough to know that you cannot find it on the internets for less than 30. So after a little deliberation and calling Jonathan to make sure I wasn’t crazy on how much it was going for, I bought all five, and then went home and put them all up on Amazon Marketplace for 25 dollars. By the time I got back from work, they were all sold. I’ve made like 60 bucks and got copies of a game I love into worthy hands. So I suppose it’s a win all around, huh?
Anyway, sorry, I had to brag. That money is going straight into my “buy a laptop because I want one and I should buy one before they stop selling Windows XP” fund.

In other news, Diggnation is coming to St. Louis on the 20th? What? I’m almost tempted to go. I probably won’t, but as I said, I’m tempted. I’d have to say, meeting Kevin and Alex would be pretty neat. The downside is it’s obviously going to be at a bar that will be crowded and filled with very, very drunk people, if listening to previous live Diggnations is any indication.
…wait, the 20th is a Wednesday. So cancel that, I have class. Oh well, as I said, I probably wouldn’t have gone anyway.

Well, I guess it’s time to KoL before bed.
