What a Weekend!
« on: December 22, 2008, 02:32:32 PM »
Just had to share some good experiences from this weekend!

On Saturday, the wife and I successfully finished installing the new dishwasher.  Nothing earth shattering, but we needed one for a while.

Sunday, I met with one of my "suppliers".  He is a game designer who I bought a game from a few months back, and ever since I have been buy the classic games he had in storage.   I finally could afford his copy of a game that I had sold off in the mid-80's to finance my year in Up With People.  Truly a nostalgia buy!  http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2228

 Of course, I met him at a game store, and they were running a 50% off sale on all items with a white tag.  I found quite a few of those tags!  Then, I discovered that they give a 20% discount on big purchases, on top of the white tag sale...Got some great games on a great deal

Then, I found a very rare and hard to find game on E-Bay - and won the auction for less than I anticipated having to pay!   http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12269

It was a weekend of games acquistion par excellence.   

Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well.

Sounds like a treasure trove!
VeezCon products:  Not as good as if they had been actually produced by a real figure company, but better than using your shoe to proxy with...sort of!

I need a completely jealous emoticon.
