I tried doing that, turns out no one is interested in old Game Boy Advanced and DS games when all my friends have those Nintendo simulators

I tried selling my old schoolbooks both to people and stores, and both options turned out to be impossible.

It's just really hilarious how after them patting themselves on the back by slightly increasing the size of the iPhone with iPhone 5 they seem to have realized that their phones are still small as hell. And they made the iPhone 6 Plus to try to compete in the "Phablet" market pioneered by Samsung. It's really amusing to me to watch them desperately trying to catch up.

Ja, we have a whole thread for this topic now. :3

Fuck college bookstores. They charge you 150 bucks for a book then 6 months later when you don't need it and try to sell it back, they give you 15 bucks.

Well, if you're not Apple then they are. They provide more functionality and convenience. It makes the multitasking a lot easier.

Obviously this is a silly belief then seeing as even Apple realize it's much more convenient and efficient despite their childish insistence they know better than their customers.
