Things from Japan to America that are 200USD or less are not taxed.
So my brother just got up to get some food and started talking to me. I pointed at my headphones and said use msn. :wacko:
Dloading series 1 of The Water Margin. Lets see who remembers that. :wacko:
First time I encountered anything before release was Silent Hill. We had it on copy (US version) before it was released in the UK. That was pretty bad ass.Quote:

It's worryingly low here, unfortunately. :/ Can't remember how low, but low~Quote:

Yeah. The guy I used to get them from used to have people turning up at his house at all hours of the day and night. His missus must have hated it.Quote:

I'll admit im worried about this, Pre-Fighters hangout there was complaints about fighters talk as well as the boasting and trash talk that went along with it
Why would we close the retro hangout? :wacko:
I mean, WHAT HIDDEN AREA!? :wacko:
Ewwww.Quote:

But why can't it be worth $5? It's USED! :!!!:
That would definitely suck.
Well the fighters one got closed to pool the traffic into the dying regular hangouts so had to wonderQuote:

Lame. I don't think they inspect anything in the US unless it's suspicious.Quote:

Now we get to make fun of each other in the regular HO, Kouen. I sense a lot of misunderstandings in the near future :wacko:.
How about posting a thread in F4A or GG, keep the talk on topic and see how it goes?Quote:

Idk if I like this game though. Might trade it in for Animal Crossing DS. :wacko:
Every Harvest Moon main series game is more or less the same. If you like one you'll like most of them.
I have not played the one you are talking about.

Which leads me to the next point.
Yep.:wacko:Quote:
