Me and my friend met up one day in town and we had lunch together, when we were given our food my friend was only just short of the price so I gave him the £1 he needed. We went to this store called CEX with a small pile of money in my wallet just waiting to be spent on wonderful gizmos and gadgets. Me and my friend are both nerds so the first part we went to was the gaming section. Were both huge fans of the Super Smash Bros. series and so we were immediately attracted to the shelf with the copy of Super Smash Bros. melee on it, luring me in with its glory and brutal cover in such amazing condition that one could not turn it down. I had enough money for it so I went straight to the counter to purchase it and I gave in the exact money for it (I only had £1 and a bit left after purchasing it) so I was very glad that I could still afford it. When I left the queue to show my friend my amazing discovery I opened the box so we could both gaze upon it when he pointed out the fact that the game wasn't there. Instead of smash, there was the rare Zelda Collectors edition game which had somehow gotten mixed with the smash game, so I went over to the till to get a refund. This was all because my mind was set on melee, but for some reason I didn't realise that this game was worth far more. So after standing for about 10 more minutes in queue I finally got to the front where the workers spent yet again another 10 minutes figuring out what happened and they said I could either get a refund or buy the actually Zelda game (they announced they didn't actually have Smash) so I decided to get the full game. They asked for £25 and I handed over the remainders of my money. I was under. By £1. I didn't have time to ask my friend for money as he was pondering around upstairs, so I had to sorrowfully walk away with my money in hand, walking away in depression due to the fact that I could have gotten one of the rarest Zelda games out there, all thanks to my kindness.
