weyes Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 digital camera prices are dropping like crazy, y'all . i'm waiting for the interchangable lens ones to be a reasonable price (they're in the thousands), but i think that'll be pretty damn soon .

georgym Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 Im asking for X-Box for Christmas. It has the best graphics, and good games I tried getting rid of my NIntendo and stuff at FUCKOLAND, and they'd give me only $5 for the console and 1 cent for the gun and Duck hunt But i look at it this way. I also collected baseball and basketball cards, and some of mine went up 400% in value, so i can't complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgmodel Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 you quoted the wrong guy in the second quote... and more importantly.. you asked why vhs cost so much in the begining... more moving parts... so thats why it cost more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
