Will had a fistful of games he wanted to trade-in at Gamestop in hopes of getting him enough store credit to buy some Microsoft points. He wanted some Microsoft points to buy a new add-on coming out in 2 weeks and also wanted some DLC's for Fable 2. In my head I was thinking he would get $30.
Before we arrived we stopped at mom and dad's to switch cars. Dad asked him why he had so many games and Will, after putting on his best puppy dog eyes, explained that he was poor and was trading in the games to buy some other stuff. Dad fell for it and gave him $11.
On the way there Will reminded me that I owed him $20 for work he had done around the house. I assured him that I would be good for it.
We got to Gamestop and the guy behind the counter made remarks leading us both to believe that he would be earning more than $30. I hoped he was right and wasn't just building us up. He totaled it up and, after applying the 30% bonus for being a Power Up member, it came out to be...
$95.20!!!!!
Wowza! Needless to say, Will couldn't believe it. After he put his head back on he went on a spree: put $5 to reserve Skyrim coming in November, bought the not-yet-published strategy for Skyrim, purchased the add-on, purchased 4000 Microsoft points, bought a used copy of Mass Effect 1, bought a used copy of Mass Effect 2, and bought a used copy of Dragon Age 2 (the Buy 2, Get 1 Free deal racked us up that last one). After all of this he came out of the store owing me $4.
That lucky little shit! :)
