Yes I know there is one on ebay.  Trying to save on shipping and the last game I ordered from Japan got lost in the mail.  Can you believe I won an auction for a Brand New and Sealed Aldynes for $190 shipped?  Can't believe it got lost in the mail.  Dam you USPS.

Who cares if it got lost? You can't play a sealed game anyway. You're better just throwing your money into a hole in the ground.

Yes, I tried to explain this to him but he wants everything new and sealed.  IDK....  not gonna argue with him.  He says it is because everything is so mint when he opens it or something.  He also doesn't have PayPal or an eBay account so he likes to have me order things for him and then he gives me the cash.

Yes, I know the joke.  It really is for a friend.  He lives in Harlem and works under the table for cash.  This guy is truly "off the grid".  I am trying to help him get his paperwork (birth certificate, SS card, etc.) in order so he can open a checking account, get a credit card, and then get PayPal.  Until then he likes to buy from me and always pays cash.  Oh and he loves retro gaming.  He didn't even know what TurboGrafx was until he met me.  Now he's hooked.  I got him a briefcase set up from Keith Courage.  Keith did a great job with it.  Super clean and he did an s-video mod on it.

It's not  a sob story.  I don't need or want anyone feeling sorry for him.  He loves Batman and he really wants this game.  Help him get a sealed copy.  C'mon guys.  I will not even markup the price when I sell it to him.

C'mon guys.  It was a troll comment.  I knew you couldn't resist taking the bait.  I only marked up my initial sale of items to him when I sold him a lot on Offer Up.  Then once I got to know him I ordered stuff for him online pretty much at no additional cost.  I think I did tack on $5 to the briefcase but that's because I didn't know him very well and I had to front the cash as well as hold the system for a while until he could pick it up.  I charge him nothing additional now.

Hey, change happens slowly.  I am trying to help him to start saving money.  It's been difficult to say the least.  He has no current ID.  No lease where he lives and he isn't allowed access to the mailbox.  Trying to get him a bank account with no ID or address is really tough.  I told him that not having access to his mail is illegal, or at least I think it is.  The person he sublets from will not give him the mail box key to copy and all the mail that is sent to his address, in his name, never gets to him.  I think the guy he is living with just tosses it.  IDK

I have tried to talk some sense into him.  He wanted me to order him a DUO-RX in the box for $700 off eBay.  I refused.  Then he goes and drops $1,300 at J & L.  So frustrating.  I figured $100 for Batman is reasonable after seeing his other purchases.  Whatever.  I'll probably just give it to him for his birthday in April.  That is IF I find one for cheap.

I can assure you I am not lying.  Why would I lie about this?  It isn't a crazy story or anything.  I genuinely feel for the guy and I am trying to help him out.  I live in NYC and meet a lot of people selling and buying retro games on Craigslist and the app called Offer Up.  I met him, Gio, through Offer Up where he paid me cash for some retro games and systems.  At first I didn't feel bad charging him crazy prices but after a while I said "you can get much better prices on eBay, you should just buy off of there".  Then this is when I discovered all the issues with him not having ID, not getting mail, etc.  I started hanging with him a little bit and he took me to J & L Video games where he drops money like its water.  Pays cash for everything.  Why in the world would I make this story up?  I guess I can ask him to pose for a picture with a current newspaper but that would be strange.  Anyway, if anyone has tips on how to help him get his paperwork in order, get a checking account, and get a credit card or PayPal account, let me know.  He might have to pay for a lawyer at this point.  Not sure.  Feel bad for the guy, honestly.

Hmm....  Didn't know you could set up a PayPal account with a prepaid card.  Interesting.  We will give it a shot.  I thought you had to link a bank account as well.  We shall see.

Stop being a retard... now who would want to do that?

He has given me permission to run and print out his credit report, file for credit cards on his behalf, file for his birth certificate, and try to do whatever I can to help him out.  I even found him some money on the NY State Comptrollers website for unclaimed funds, although I can't figure out how to get him the check as he can't receive mail.  Pretty much all the tasks he wants me to help him with involve him having an address to receive mail so I have hit a wall. 

I don't think what I have shared is anything so personal he wouldn't want me to share.  I should double check with him I guess.  Just trying to get some advice from the peeps on this site.  He doesn't have a PC or internet, even his phone is shut off from time to time.  He wants me to do whatever I can to help him so he says.

As a side note, I suggest everyone do a search on their states unclaimed property web page for unclaimed funds.  Just put your name in and see if it gets any hits.  I got my wife $700 and my mother in law thousands of dollars this way.  You claim the funds and they send you a check in the mail.
