Will Sell Pokemon for Food

August 1, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 9 Comments

My second deal in two days went down yesterday. Yes, I have a new, short-term line of business. A quick way to turn a buck. $70 so far! No, I’m not selling drugs although it may have appeared that way to my neighbors.

A stranger parked in front of the house, knocked on the door, handed me money for goods. Fast.

I’m talking about Pokemon.

The lifetime of electronic gaming equipment abandoned by our son and hidden away in his closet for years… I refuse to haul it to Fayetteville, so I’m selling it on Craigslist (with his permission of course).

Pokemon is huge people.

I made enough money on the yellow Pikachu Gameboy cartridge to buy Thai for two with leftover food and money. Yellow Pokemon for Yellow Curry Chicken. Winner, Winner!

Yellow Pokemon Pikachu Edition

Now if only Beanie Babies would become a hot commodity.
