Recent Purchases and Good Finds

That’s a pretty good deal. I wonder what the issue is.

He said something about the up direction being kinda wonky on his stick. I might just need to desolder the switch and move it a bit closer to the actuator

EDIT: It plugged and played just fine in my madcatz v.s. I guess he just didnt install it correctly.

I’ve been scouring various sites for Dreamcast gear lately and found this bundle up for auction on Goodwill:
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Sega-Dreamcast-HkT-3010-Bundle-36934007.html

The description states that everything is untested an the console’s model number is HKT-3010, which is for a JP model.
Auction price is current up at $86, but it comes with a metric shit-ton of accessories. I have the current held bid, but I have all I need at this point.
If anyone is interested, take a look.

Light guns were pretty tuff to get stateside back in the day, so that might be worth a few extra shekels, plus green goblin, so definitely a good get if you win it!

A last gen VLX for a mere 150 CAD. It sounds too good to be true

Found at Mad Catz Femme Fatale at one of my stores. Managed to snag it for $50. I already had one in the box, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. Number 229/650

$50?! That’s a steal! Bravo!

I bought one of those red madcatz te sticks for $20 before lol…

aah…

the kind of bargains I only ever get to read about but never get myself

In my experience, you gotta be actively searching every day for deals like that. Checking craigslist all day, going yard sale hunting on friday and saturday morning, and flea markets every weekend.

Alternatively, work in a pawn shop

Seems like that could be good or bad. It would suck to deal with like a crackhead tryna sell 14 sealed copies of Madden 15.

Substitute Madden 15 for sealed boxed sets of movies on DVD or sealed seasons of TV shows on DVD and you have my fondest memories of working at GameStop when they took in DVD’s for trade-ins.
