skate board kid returns

so......to set up the scene. we decided at the store it would be a good idea to sell our defective video game systems that we had massed over the time we have been open. i was testing systems to make sure they were dead for good and then pricing them at 5 dollars and putting them out on the floor.
so.....he returned today. the first thing a noticed was the big scab on his cheek. (wonder where he got that?). i think i will dub him skateboard boy for future reference. anyways, he wanted to trade in a NDS game. he brings up Animal Crossing without the case.
"I paid $70 about a month ago" he said.
"wow thats alot, are you sure it wasn't more like $34.99?", i said.
"Nope, i bought it in the city.".
I decided to humor him. "Make sense, thing do cost more in the city."
"trade-in will be $5 store credit"
he looked very confused for about 4 seconds and then said very apathetically
"sure, sounds good."
he then wandered the store looking at different games while continued to place defective systems on the display.
he eventually brought up his selection (NCAA March Madness 04.....not that it really matters) and saw what i was doing.
SKB: "Are those all the systems you have?!?"
ME: "these are all defective, they don't work so we're selling them off for $5."
SKB: "Really!?!"
ME: "Really."
SKB: "Can i get one?"
ME: "Yeah, just be advised that they are not returnable, and they DO NOT WORK"
SKB: "I can fix them!"
ME: "thats great, just remeber that they are NOT RETURNABLE."
so he traded his animal crossing for a broken PS2 Phat. brilliant.
why do i get the felling i'll be seeing him tomorrow?
