September 2012 pickups

[madrocsz]

Well, fuk, I have been wanting evo for snes for quite some time, I have bid and lost hundreds over the past 2 years or so, then literally yesterday I bid on (and went to sleep) 2 of them and won both, both for reasonable prices considering the current asking prices

Also, I bought 6 more shelves to make a total of 14 shelves and 4 display cases, will post pics soon once I get everything all feng shui

Willing to part with one of em?

[madrocsz]

More than likely, once I get them in and determine which one I will end up keeping, I'm not picky on condition but it kinda forces me to make a choice lol. Both are in very good condition tho.

I am not sure what your looking to pay however, bit lame I spent more than I would like to, but got 1 for 105 and the other for 91 (yay early morning bids) seeing as most have been 140+ lately

I might be down for that.  Would you be interest in a trade or partial trade by any chance?

Doa 5 collectors ed, tekken tag 2, Nes kirby, nes Hudsons adventure island  2 brand new dream cast controllers ( $14 each )  and 1 extra copy of  Marvel vs capcom 2 ($30) to keep in the kiosk at all times lol

the kiosk is in pretty good shape , might have to replace the base board on the bottom ( made of particle board ) loooks like it got wet and warped a bit , im good with wood working so that should be easy , have to clean and dust the kiosk well also .
Does anyone know if  there is a polish ( or use regular auto wax) to buff out the scratchesthe outer shell of the kiosk gets ?

Not really a pickup. More like a find. But if you live near this area in Alabama, this thing is pretty cool!

Are the scratches mainly on the plastic parts?  I'm trying to figure out what products to recommend. For the plastic parts, if the scratches are faint/not deep, then a plastic polish will work great on its own. I recommend 3M products, and they can usually be found at auto parts stores.  This is what you're looking for.



If the scratches are deeper, then you may want to start with a more aggressive compound.

Are the metal parts painted and are they part of the affected area?  I.e. are they scratched too?

Well I picked up 2 sega genesis model 2's with all the hookups. 4 genesis controllers and 1 cd/32x controller,
And about 20-25 games(none special) all for $22 at sales today.

Now here's the deal, in all those genesis games there were 2 mega drive games with this connector attatched.

I'm really curious on how well this works and how much it's worth. I've never seen or heard of one since everyone always just said to mod the system.

[wiggy]

I remember those!  No idea of current value though :/

I think I had newer or alternate version without the switches that allowed me to play every cart.

I should stiil have it somewhere.
