Cause there might be a River Raid II buried in there.
:C:
Didn't see it the first time I looked, but the little voice said 'You'd better look thru those again.' I love my little voice!!

Sure was. They always price all games the same regardless of what they are or what condition they're in.

I was in a private second hand shop once and he had the box of combat pacman and donkey Kong games and I was looking through it and found a polaris cart. Now not the rarest game in the world but worth 10 bucks or so. Anyway the box said 1.00 each. SO I went to pay and after he watched me go through the box for 20 minutes he said oh that one isn't a dollar. I was like the box says all games 1.00 each. His reply was that I searched for 20 minutes and only bought that one so it must be worth something so he wasn't selling it now. :BW
WTF:MD

The Lady that used to run our local video game store used to do that to me all the time, She knew that I look for rare games so she would look up the price on all the games I was purchasing on the internet and then adjust the price as I was at the register...It sucked, It all started when I tried to purchase all 3 of her FFVII's that were marked at $11.

I've been in tht exact situation before, and I usually would get a couple of commons to cover up the one I really want. Or just see wha tthe person woud take for the whole thing and not tell them about what is in it.
