Everything is for sale at the right price. 

Man to woman: Would you sleep with me for one million dollars?
Woman: Sure.
Man: How about for ten dollars?
Woman: What do you think I am?
Man: We've already established what you are. All we're doing is bargaining about price.

haha, I'm sure it was real - he's had it for a number of years. And I'm sure everything is for sale at the right price, but it's in the part of his store that he's made a "museum" so it'd take a lot of convincing. There was also a coryoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was in Seoul - but now I'm in Tokyo, where everything's for sale. Wish me luck!

That’s what 600 USD?  Is that game truly that expensive?  Was it CIB?

6000 yen is about 60 USD. These days, it seems to go for around 400 USD.

anyone who pays 400$ for Sylphia is a dumbass and doesn't know how CD-Rs work.

holycrap everything sucks lol


EDIT: My bad.

Replace Sylphia with Coryoon and CD-R with flashcard
