Video Game "Look what I found"

[J_Wil]

Picked up another Sigma Supergun - i've never owned this model; The AV5000

What sets this one apart from some others is the inputs are neo-geo standard so i'll be able to use a 2-p stick, the sticks that came w/it, or CD pads and it's built like a little tank, so super easy to transport, can literally carry the system and all cables in one hand, a PCB in the other, and you're set. Super slick:

Damn, that looks nice. How many games do you have? Are you still actively buying JAMMA boards?

I get a little sick whenever I see a supergun because it reminds me of a bad financial situation back in 07 where I sold off my entire PCB collection for literally pennies on the dollar AND learned the finer points of assholes scamming on ebay. My 4 player TMNT board was given away for free because they guy claimed it didn't but he never sent it back. Of course, ebay/Paypal gave him a refund regardless.

When I first got into PCB's, I bought pretty much everything I saw, had 60 PCB's, not including cart based arcade stuff (CPS2 / MVS / F3 / NAOMI / PGM / Atomiswave) and it was really overwhelming. I'm down to about 25 PCB's now and I only collect unported stuff (Ninja Baseball Batman, LightBringer, Golden Axe Death Adder) and shooters that are unported or better on PCB (Battle Bakraid, Vasara 1 and 2) and then CAVE stuff, i'm going for most of the library (but I won't go after the mega rare black label and other limited stuff).

I went to this booth at the thrift store today to buy a reasonably priced PS2 but accidentally found a basket full of Gameboy games, GBA SPs $25 each, GBCs $15 each instead. I overpaid a little probably since I'm used to paying pennies on the dollar


Atomic Purple GBC $15
Harvest Moon GBA $3
Mario Bros. Deluxe with manual $3
Mario Bros Deluxe $3
Mario Bros 3 Advance $3
F-Zero GBA $3
Yoshi's Island GBA $3
Mario Land $3
Game and Watch Gallery 3 $3

I'm missing two other games that I can't think of. I beat Super Mario Land shortly after getting home.

i think those are some pretty good prices actually. It's not bad to pay normal price on a few items whenever you are also getting a good deal on others from the same seller. It saves you time and treats the seller fairly by paying a market value price on a few things. I'd be very happy with those titles and the prices paid.

Definitely not overpriced, but if the seller was actually there I know I could have got it close to 50% cheaper. I hate buying used stuff and not being able to haggle.

I also picked up Wonderful 101 brand new from Toys R' Us today for $10. It was 75% off, not really caring for it so far but I can't return it. At least it was only 10 bucks.

While out at a yard sale today, I came across a small table I really liked. I asked the guy how much, and he said $5. Great. I also asked if he had any old video games, and he said he thought he might have something down in the basement. He goes down for a while and then comes up with boxed SNES games - Zelda, Donkey Kong, Paperboy 2, and Road Runner Rally. As he hands me the games, however, I notice that all of them, except Road Runner, are empty. Road Runner is instead packed with manuals, business replies, a Zelda pack-in poster for LttP's overworld, and an old SNES poster advertising upcoming games. After telling the guy that there are no games in the boxes, he says, "Oh well, do you want this stuff for free then?"

Nice now all you need to do is find the games which should be a whole lot cheaper by themselves and profit a little on the deal if you already have the games but no boxes ha ha

Shit, and here I was thinking making a mobile would be cool. That's a much better idea.
