Weighing in at about 7 ounces, the current highest bid is $41.00 USD at the time of this post. Looks delicious, but is it worth the cost? <br /><br />If you bought it, would you plan on eating it or displaying it?

The one you think you may have lent to a friend, but your memory isn't clear enough to accuse them of anything? Well don't yell at your best mate just yet. We think we may have found your lost game, along with every other person's lost game <em>ever.</em><br /><br />A used game store in Japan has such an insanely large collection of used video games on sale that I can only assume that the owner has a super-large magnet in his basement that can pick up loosely place NES carts by the thin metal connection strip and transport them from as far away as Brazil. You're thinking, "but CDs are made out of plastic, how does he manage to collect <em>them</em> with a magnet?" He doesn't. <br /><br />Two words: Oompa loompas. Trillions of them.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.insertcredit.com/">Insert Credit</a>; thanks linus]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/15/the-mecca-of-used-game-stores/">The mecca of used game stores</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 15 Jul 2006 01:30:00 EST.
