My uncle called me up and said he found a Froggy for $50. I puzzled for a moment. He continued, “It looks good but isn’t working.”

Not being a re-animation specialist, I assumed he was talking about a Frogger.

“Frog, er?” he asked. “Well, whatever, $50 if you pick it up today.”

So I made the trip. At $50 I was think I would encounter a home console game or just the marquee or some other weirdness that could only come form a Craig’s List deal.

I was surprised. It was an upright Frogger in decent cosmetic shape. Not working, as described but complete. I paid happily, loaded up and drove away.
