Haha, just thought about some childhood memories of the childhood fads I grew up around.
Pokemon cards, marbles, pogs,GoGo's....
those were the times..
I was too poor to get into pogs and GoGo's but when kids started playing with marbles and Pokemon cards was when I really hit it big.
I invented so many scams when It came to Pokemons.
I went from getting a couple of worthless cards from some friend to almost having the most cards in the whole school.
One scam I used was selling "moon rocks" from the tv-show.
"moon rocks" was basically asphalt lumps I picked on the way to school.
Hahaha amazing how easily tricked kid was.
I would also trick young girls into giving me good cards in exchange for "cute" low lvl cards.
The good card I got I would than trade it for 3-4 lower/medium cards than haggle the **** out of some other kid for another good card but for 2 pokemons instead .
OHH PLZ! I scammed so many kids and made them think they walked away with a great deal.
So the kids would return to get scammed again and again.
HAHA one of the dirtiest scams I pulled, I bought some kind of worthless Poke cards at a gas station for 3 dollars a pack.
I would trick kids into thinking they were straight from America and they hadn't start selling them in Sweden yet, so they were worth more than normal poke cards.
This Scam did backfire when a kid realized he got scammed he went and cried to his older brother and I had to return his cards and compensate him a bit.
I worked that scam for maybe a week until it drew to much heat.
It had come to the point that I had to give cards away cus I had so many duplicates
Sorry for a long post but anyone else have a similar story?
Any memory of Childhood fad you want to share?
