Got mail from some American: "Hey man, I'll pay you top dollar for your Metal Gears ! Are you selling them ?".

Me like "Top dollar huh ? How much is that ?"

He: "20 dollars for both"

Me: "@#!ā#§&é"

LOL.

I don't get it.
Probably it is just some young guy trying me out (maybe I don't know the value of the MG games, LOL).
But if he found my email to contact me, he must have been on my MSX website, so it must have been obvious to him that I do know something about it !?

Anyway, I'm curious what he'll reply to my response
"Double that and multiply by ten"... a little high of course

Well, there are quite a few people making loads of money by buying second-hand collectors items for rediculously low prices from people who don't know what they own. It's always worth a shot, I guess...
