Recent Purchases and Good Finds

thought i’d share.
it’s not a recent purchase, it’s a find. as in i found this in a box in my basement looking for my kids toys

Finding something you forgot you had are some of my happiest finds of all.

I got two of these by accident today. I put both in a sniping site with the intention of pulling the second if I won the first. I was out on site for a job and completely forgot about it.


Wasn’t cheap but was cheaper than the one you posted.

Im getting a malware warning for this thread. I dont know why.

Probably the ads. Go post over here:

Picked up at yard sale for 10 bucks :smiley:

For anybody who does not know Best Buy is extending their 100% trade in bonus for the rest of the month and the online estimator is 99% corresponding to their store trade-in price So any estimate you get online is double in store I just traded in Batman Arkham Asylum for $24. The funny thing is I just purchased it a few months ago from Best Buy for just $10 with a @Gamer magazine coupon So I made a $14 profit for basically renting a brand new game. I would trade your games in soon there are people who are abusing the system and purchasing games at Sears and other clearance stores then just flipping them for profit and I’m sure best buy will clue in soon and drop trade in prices also note this deal is for gift cards and not cash You get $34 for Skyrim and $20 for the hated SFXT

That is a good looking wheel. I would have gotten it as well.

I purchased a Japanese friend’s childhood* tonight…

OK and how long is a FDS supposed to take to load? It’s been loading Soccer for like 5 minutes. Wonder if the belt is dead.

*Well just his games/gadgets basically, he’s getting rid of his many many anime figures too but I have no interest in those.

Wow that’s an awesome collection how much for all that? you need to mod that DDR mat for Dive kick if its ever released for the general public :sunglasses:

So you’ve joined me with that beatmania Controller.
Said you would love to use it. :lovin:

I paid $160, and bought him dinner heh. I was going to pay quite lower before when I thought he had waaaaay less (I had the wrong impression of how much he had), then he said he found a lot more stuff (which he was gonna sell to me at the original price), so I insisted on paying more. It’s not just his stuff, it’s his and his siblings’. He had a SFC but his siblings wanted to hold onto it, in case Kyle or someone who was lurking the Hang Out thread is wondering where that is, and there’s some more stuff he knows he has but couldn’t find, makes me wonder how much his room represented a Super Potato store.

I may have to tweak the FDS since it seems like it’s not working right, hoooo boy that won’t be fun. And I need to come up with some sort of AV mod for one of the Famicoms, some site I read said to solder a cable and have it exit the vents rather than adding on some jacks, that sounds OK.

Looking forward to trying out some of the random stuff I wasn’t expecting like the Barcode Battler. I’m not much of a fan of old toys per se, but old gadgets are another story.

Magical Drop 3 on PSX may be better than the NeoGeo version and I hate myself a lot for thinking this lol.

Tamagotchi and Bit Char-G.
Can I get ones?

And the Tomy ball game.

We’ll see jdm, I wanna at least beat this ball game once myself.

Meanwhile the FDS I got has a snapped belt welp :v

Wow Disk System, brings back slow loading memories. JDM, I still have my Supra Bit Char-G. wanna buy?

Oh Battlestation II, we’re together at last. I’ve been dreaming of you ever since I saw your pretty face in this thread. Your joysticks may be ghetto and your buttons concave, but your lovely six buttons and Genesis/SNES/NES PCB more than makes up for your shortcomings.

I find the mca sticks (the one on the battlestation II) and buttons perfect for sf x t…I dont know why??

Uggh. They are too weird. They remind me of the tiny Sanwa balltop. I am also not a fan of concave. I have convex buttons that should be here in the next couple of days. I should be able to pop the switches out and replace them without any trouble.

Someone snatch these up…:eek:

damn, what a deal…
