Default Has anyone had this happen to them?

I just realized this like an hour ago. I have 5 brand new games sitting in my room right now which I got for $100. Let me explain. I got 3 brand new, never opened, in shrink wrap, PS3 games (Genji, Call of Duty 3, and Virtua Fighter 5) for $100 off eBay which arrived today. Then today I picked up NBA 2k7 for the 360 and MLB 07: The Show for the PS3 with a $100 Best Buy gift card from xmas. So the way I look at it I got 5 brand new games for $100 and one heck of a summer to look forward too! Anyone else have something like that happen to you??

i would never stock up on new games right as summer was starting. Don't get me wrong i love video games but not so much that it would consume my entire summer.

Oh no no no I was just being sarcastic haha. I actually have a full time job and summer school to attend so I'll be playing when I have no homework or work to go to. I wasn't stocking up to begin with actually. I only bought the games on ebay because I wanted Genji which was selling for like $30-$40 with no buy-it-now option. The other games came with Genji for a buy-it-now of $100 which I thought was a good deal. I'm going to sell COD3 though because I have it for 360 AND my Wii. NBA 2k7 I got because it was lowered $10 and I've been waiting for MLB 07 since like January but it's been delayed since it's initial launch of like April. I saved my BB card to buy just MLB 07 but I was sick of playing NBA 2k6 so I picked up the new one.

I just thought it was funny after coming home from Best Buy with MLB 07 and NBA 2k7 under my arm and sitting in the mailbox is my ebay order. I've been sitting here staring at them wondering what happened haha.

A new tractor?? Now this is going to sound bad, and I don't mean it too, but do you live on a farm? If so, where? And HOW cool is that!

Nope not a farm, I own some land that requires a 4wd tractor to mow it. So, the last tractor we bought was a Kubota with a 60" belly mower and a front bucket(scoop), we have a rough-cut mower(bush-hog). I wish it was a farm, with some horses, but just some land that has a good size creek running through it and a pond. I am still working on the cabin that is hidden in the woods, that will be most of my summer, the landscaping needs more work. The one I have now has 23hp and 4wd, I want something that has a bit more power, like this.

oh man i remember living back in louisiana and having to use the big tractors with bush hogs just to mow the yard. it was ridiculous but it was worth it in the country you had no neighbors and total silence also at night the sky was black instead of orange
