So yesterday I was playing Disney Magical World 2 on my 3DS. I was playing a game of tag with Donald and Mickey when suddenly I was running in slow motion. After I got myself "unstuck" I couldn't move the circle pad in certain directions. Mainly down or to the lower left. It almost feels like something inside my system shifted or broke.

I've never had a Gameboy or DS break on me before so I'm not sure what to do. Can it be fixed or do I have to buy a new one?

Ok, so I just listed this guy on ebay.

After less than half an hour I have a guy offering me $50 for him!  Very tempting, but I turned him down because I didn't know how much he was low balling me. He turned around an upped the offer to $75!  At that point I asked if knew something about the puppet that I didn't. Haven't heard anything else yet.

ETA: He replied with this.

Hello,
I have bought and won almost every puppet factory auction in the last five years. I have even contacted the owner of the puppet factory Martha Bishop who bought it from the original owner in the early eighties. Whenever some inquires about an older puppet from her she has them contact me. The 70s puppet factory puppets sell between 20-75 with tags depending on character. The hippie puppets seem to be the most popular. Some people ask prices over 100 but they never sell. Look at completed listing. In all my years, I have never seen this blue one. I have a purple and a few brown monsters but never Blue. He is unique.I hope you consider my offer because I would love to add him to my collection.

I don't know what to do! Would you take the money and run or see where the auction goes?

Ok, I did it. I sold him to the guy for $75. Who knew a childhood toy that I didn't even LIKE that much could be worth so much.

from scammers stealing your info. Do they really work? Can anybody recommend a brand?

My mom's Discover card has been used for fraudulent charges TWICE in the passed three months. She got a new card a few months ago after the first charges. Now she's waiting for a second new card because of more charges. UGH!!!! 

She wants to get one of those wallets like you see on TV. Any opinions or info on these wallets would be great.

I got a flyer from BABW in the mail today. It has this picture in it!

  visitors can't see pics , please register or login

     
But there is NO MORE INFO in the flyer. Not date. No prices. Nothing.  Not sure how I feel about them yet. They look a  little... off.

So I went to Goodwill today for their 50% off day. I found a teddy bear in a baby sleeper that caught my attention. I decided to look it up on Ebay from my phone. All I got from his tush tag was that he was made by Mattel in 1986. I searched "Mattel 1986 bear" and found one that listed it as a My Child bear. I had NO IDEA that My Child made animals! I never liked the dolls as a kid. But I've learned on here that My Child dolls are worth big bucks. I did another search for "My Child Bear" and nearly passed out when I saw the sold prices!

But these are naked. The one I got (for 99 cents!) has a sleeper and a diaper. So what's a reasonable asking price for one with clothes?

Here's the one I got.

Anybody have any smelling salts?

I'm SUPER excited!!!!!! But I hope the article is a little off on one thing. Why the heck would the Charizard costume be an online exclusive? And if I'm understanding this right, you have to buy Pikachu online to get the costume.  I want to buy and build Pikachu in the store.

Nervermind! BABW's 2 for $35 sale is a WWAAAYYYYY better deal. Already placed my order for Pony and DJ.

Anybody have a BABW coupon they don't want? One of those $10 off of $30 coupons. I want to use it on Pony.
