14515	WTB: Nintendo games, etc.	eBay and NES games are ruthless. Manuals sell alone for3$ up depending on what game they're for. It's pretty much impossible to get a deal on there. Better off lucking out at garage sales. I've scored about 7 huge NES finds from thrift stores and garage sales in the last 4 years. <br><br>One time Goodwill had a silent auction for around 50 NES games that were all in the original boxes WITH manuals. I put 75$ as my max bid and my goofy girlfriend (Now wife) put a bid in behind my back at 100$ So she got a call she won the auction. I was flabbergasted and to top it off she had no money so I still got it but paid 25$ more!<br><br>I sell mostly everything I find though but still keep the gleanings and have a pretty decent NES collection. <br><br>Oh and I almost forgot try <a href="http://shopgoodwill.com/">http://shopgoodwill.com/</a>  sometimes you can get slightly better deals than eBay although this site has caught on in recent years and the prices are almost on par with the standard market.<br>	vkimo	Dec 11, 2014
14514	Personal Help and Support	Thanks to Fuzz, NLogan, and shakin for helping to clear things up. I suppose I should say that I don't want this thread to be a place to confront suicide, but as a way to help cope with feelings that might lead to that. And, if someone did confess to planning suicide, I would do what is required by law to alert authorities or loved ones. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT</span>: Changed the OP so that it focuses less on suicidal thoughts.<br>	Vaporman87	Dec 11, 2014
14513	Personal Help and Support	I think that a forum dedicated to depression, anxiety and even suicide can be therapeutic. On RetroDaze though, it may just come off as a confusing nook on an otherwise upbeat board.<br>	vkimo	Dec 11, 2014
14512	Air Wick Stick Ups	I agree. As simple as these look, keeping to the "retro" design might appeal to folks these days.<br>	Vaporman87	Dec 11, 2014
14511	The Comedy Thread	:lol: Nice one, shakin.<br><br>Here's some regional humor...<br><br>Two guys, one from Ohio, and one from West Virginia, jump out of an airplane wearing parachutes.<br><br>The Ohioan realizes how close to the ground they are getting, and pulls his chute. The West Virginian does not.<br><br>The Ohio calls out to the West Virginian, "Hey! Better pull your chute, buddy!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Not just yet."<br><br>Some hundreds of feet pass, and the Ohioan once again yells, "Hey! Pull your chute man!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Not yet."<br><br>Only 8 feet from the ground, the Ohioan yells, "You're going to die!"<br><br>The West Virginian replies, "Why? I've jumped from this height lots of times!" <br>	Vaporman87	Dec 11, 2014
14510	The Comedy Thread	A guy goes into a bar, orders twelve shots and starts drinking them as fast as he can.<br><br>The bartender says, "Dang, why are you drinking so fast?"<br><br>The guy says, "You would be drinking fast if you had what I have."<br><br>The bartender says, "What do you have?"<br><br>The guy says, "75 cents."	shakin steak	Dec 11, 2014
14509	You might be retro if...	Things just got dorky. <img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaughOutLoud.gif" title=":lol:">	Mr Magic	Dec 11, 2014
14508	Personal Help and Support	I would also hope that if someone needed help they would reach out in whatever way.  I think that is why Vapor created  the thread., obviously upset about the passing of his friend and feeling helpless as is unfortunately all too common with those affected; wanting to help in some way as is his altruistic nature. While I don't think it is the best method it is a method.  Just as fuzz wanted to help with his concern about liability and I wanted to help by attempting to clear up that concern. I think most people would help another in times of crisis and definitely do not want to discourage those seeking help or trying to provide it. No matter how uncomfortable the subject may be.

14507	WTB: Nintendo games, etc.	That definitely works for me. The prices on eBay are what's kept me from doing this. Even the price I offered is a little higher than I want to go. But I felt bad saying any less since you're already there. In which case you should get what you can for sure.<br>	shakin steak	Dec 11, 2014
14506	Personal Help and Support	Forums are a good resource for suicidal people. I can't count how many stories I have heard about that. Either being someone's only friends (at least as far as their perception goes), distraction from horrible feelings, making them feel better with genuine caring and compliments, providing counsel, notifying family or local emergency services when possible and necessary.<br><br>Often, people feeling that way find a forum, which doesn't require synchronized responses, speaking, or going anywhere, to be the easiest or sometimes only possible way to communicate with other people. Screen and keyboard are great equalizers as well. We know very little about each other besides what we type. A few thoughts and feelings. That's powerful. It allows expression of what someone might tell no one else they are thinking about. It allows expression of care to strangers. <br><br>I know bad feelings. I have never acted on suicidal thoughts. But I understand loneliness, hate, unmotivation, worthlessness, helplessness, sadness, and nothingness to some degree. If someone going through that is on this board, I would not like for them to feel like they have no one in the whole world they can talk to.<br><br><br>	shakin steak	Dec 11, 2014
