haha, more stuff today! got a Playstation for 6 bucks at goodwill, had to unstick the open button, but whatever to that and a sony trinitron monitor for 6 bucks also (for my dreamcast... instead of the e-machines monitor, which works, but hey why not on the sony?)

oh, and nice on the LoZ gbc games at the tagsale... i still need me Link's Awakening DX, i used to own it yeARS ago with my clear purple gbc which i also don't have anymore (if only i knew that once i hit 26 i'd want everything i got rid of when i was a young teenager... gameboy color, genesis 1 and a buttload of awesome games for it, 32x, saturn, playstation... geez)

Got a GameCube with no cables on eBay for $7. It was advertised as "Five GCNs: three working, two not" and I figured, well, if it doesn't work, I can always turn it into a lunch box. :P

Guess what? It works! Pics will also be going in the Worst Condition Consoles thread. :lol:

The top is more scratched up than it looks.

You can't tell from the pic, but the front is pretty yellow.

You can see the grime on the bottom edge.

Went thru our shed in hopes of finding my NES, but no luck. Instead, I found my original SEGA Genesis controllers.

Also found a complete copy of Sonic Spinball at a Goodwill for $3.

So in the process of throwing out my existing couches, I decided, hey, I might as well raid the cushions in an attempt to find some spare change. What happens, I find Spyro: Orange and Namco Museum for GBA, both of which in HORRID condition, luckily they still work but I should really buy replacement GBA Carts, since the boards still operate and the carts look like someone hit them with a hammer. Any idea where I could find replacement cartridges?

Also, that allows me to take the spare box/manual/cart baggie for Spyro and actually use it, so now if I get the inserts I'll have my 2nd Complete GBA Game (yes I am that cynical to where I have to have the baggie that the cart came in.)

Those games are pretty cheap, i'd just buy new copies if they are that screwed up.

JVC X'eye with 12 games, controllers for $83 shipped.

If I would have had money in my PayPal i would have bid but I didn't have anywhere near the funds to win. That's what the seller gets for not listing the keyword "X'eye" in the title...
