I'm Available

so we've got a request list. whenever something has been requested has been traded in a computer spits out a ticket with the persons name + #, very nice i think.
do anyways, silent hill 1 is traded in, in very nice condition i might add. at the moment it traded in i can invision myself buying the game and dancing around the store in celebration. As i watch the tickets print up i notice a third one (usually 2, one for customer, one for store). It was a request ticket. so i call this guy already in a semi-bad mood and leave him a message that we can hold it for 24 hours unless he calls us back. around 5 hours later i get a call from him.
"um yeah you called me about silent hill"

"yes i did, we had it traded in, and i have it on hold for you."

"thats awesome! thats such a rare game to find in store now-a-days"

"yes i'm very aware."

all seems to go like a normal conversation till....

"so are you available?"

"um, excuss me?"

"are you available right now?"

"i'm not sure i understand what you're asking."
at this point his voice tenses up a bit
"Are you available"

i'm still very confused as to what he is asking, so, i jut started talking, i tend to be pretty good at that, if i think too much i know i would've blown it.
"um no, but for you, i'll always be available."
5 seconds of silence
"um, what?"

"huh?"

"What are you talking about?"

"being available for you, what are you talking about?"

"um nevermind, so whats it cost?"

"$24.99"

the fun doesn't end there. he talks to his freinds for a few seconds and come back on the line.

"so what will you accept in trade towards silent hill?"

"any game you got, you can trade in towards the purchase of that game, or any game in our store."

he sounds very excited
"So i could trade in any game and you'd give me silent hill?"

i can see where this is going fast...
"yes, if that game has enough store credit value, you could."

"SO I COULD TRADE IN MY CRAPPY MADDEN GAMES FOR SILENT HILL!?!?"

"if you have enough of them, just to warn you though, they don't go for to much."

his excitement quickly disappears
"wait but you said i could trade."

"yes, we trade for store credit, then you apply that store credit towards whatever you want."

7 second silence, his brain is having a hard time putting the square block in the circle hole
"so what if i gave you 5 ps2 games, would i have enough?"

"depends on the games"

"how about 7?"

"depends on the games"

"11?"

"depends on the games"

another 7 second silence....
"well i'll be in on monday to pick it up"

"alright, and remeber its $24.99"

"um......"

"alright bye."
