NOTHING TO REPAIR HERE

Disc repair is one of the services that my store provides. In layman's terms, the machine essentially acts as a cut & polish and removes scratches from the discs. As the image here suggests it is a fantastic service that brings discs back to life that were otherwise unusable. We're able to service all kinds of discs from DVD to PS2 to Wii, PS3 and rewritables. A guy came in today with five PS1 discs. He explained to me that he collects retro old-school games and that occasionally some of the discs won't work. The five he was bringing to me has been collected over the last couple of years and he had only now realised that he's unable to use them. I looked at all of the discs and they were in pristine condition, as though straight out of the shrink-wrap. I asked him where he had brought them from and he told me there were brand-new from various places like ebay and cash converters. I explained to him that the discs were blemish-free and wouldn't benefit from our repair service and also explained how our machine works. As the discs did not have any scratches, the machine's service would be pointless. I suggested to him that the problem could be a number of other things such as a manufacturing error or possible heat damage or even a rare case of disc-rot (which one appeared to have a slight indication of). I reiterated that the discs looked perfect and that there were no scratches to be removed, and that he would be wasting his money. He replied "Thats okay. Put them all through your machine anyway". Clearly he wasn't getting it and so I thought "fuck it". 


And I took his money. (Sucker!)
