Made it in Photoshop. There were a bunch of icons on the internet that I thought would look nice as a signature.
signature temporarily offline due to fixed width constraints and anger

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Got myself a crapload of stuff yesterday. It counts as a "Find of the Day" not because of the price but rather because it is usually almost impossible to find any retro stuff in my country.
I got:
1. Sega Master System I and 2, both boxed, with 1 joypad each (one is broken), all hook ups, 3d Glasses (missing a piece, don't know if they work) and 2 games - 50 Euro.
2. NES Action Pack: boxed, console itself is in immaculate condition - games boot up EVERY time!, one joypad and the zapper were never used, but power supply is dead- 40 Euro. The console is the Mattel version by the way - needs to be modded to play US games but it is SO shiny...
3. Supergun and MVS board with power supply and wires- 150 Euro

Mostly harmless

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Just got a bunch of PSX games off of the neo-geo forums
Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2
Atari Anniversary Collection Redux
Battle Arena Toshinden
Coolboarders
Cybersled
Diablo
Ghost in the Shell
Jumping Flash!
The King of Fighters '95
Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter
Megaman Legends
Rally Cross
Street Fighter Alpha (needs resurfacing)
Street Fighter EX plus a
Tekken 2
Viewpoint
ESPN 2Xtreme Games
The above 17 disc-only games for $30 shipped. King of Fighters '95, Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, Mega Man Legends, Ghost in the Shell, and the Street Fighter Games all sell for a decent amount. Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter alone sells for more than 30. Plus Jumping Flash! is a nice pick up for myself.
I also picked up:
Marvel super Heroes (near mint & complete) - $14
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (near mint & complete) - $18
So in total (with an additional $3 for shipping) I got the 17 disc only games and the above 2 complete games, for $65 total.
