Awesome pick ups.
What camera/lens do you use? Your pics are always awesome

Thanks! I use a Canon T1i with kit lens, and sometimes I swap the kit lens for my Canon 1.4 50mm Prime Lens.

I picked up a GBA SP 101 model today, but the outer shell is moderately scratched. Is there any way to buff it smooth again?

Even if you did get it smooth again, It would still look like poo.

The only way to make it look nice again would to be buy a new shell or repaint it.

Is there any place where I could just buy a new shell for it?
I get a bunch of stuff from Ebay,
I don't personally deal to much with anything away from e-bay sorry to say.

Careful about doing that....such actions can wreck the Dreamcast's laser.

Not so much the laser as it is the motor that moves the laser from the edge to the center. Burning at low speed as possible, having dummy files, etc. minimize the motor movement.

I do appreciate the warning though!  ;D

The SNES is my main system anyways, that gets more play than any other system I own...

chipping (for imports) is the way to go...

...no idea about homebrew, but is there any decent hb besides emulators??

Bah, boot discs can be burned for free ;)

Bah its a hassle. Some bootdiscs dont work well with VGA boxes, and some that do, wont boot a game in VGA even if the game supports it. Once in a blue moon can I get Shenmue II working in VGA.

Its also as hassle if you do a lot of importing.

But it's free.  Better way to figure out if it's worth it, or if you're not planning on owning a zillion imports.

Sure do. Have 6 of them lol. Can't beat them for what they can hold and price. Looking forward to the pics

My room is not fully set up yet and wont be for a few days, I'm still moving around furniture, but I got 2 Shelves up and all my games fit on the with room to spare, It looks good but makes my collection feel smaller than when it was on the other Shelves What took up 2 of the old ones fits on one of these. I need to buy more games.  ;D

Are your shelves wobbly, mine feel fairly unstable, I'm going to reenforce them a bit with stronger wood on the back soon. I removed the feet because they were all uneven. I have hard wood floors so it works well with out them.

A yellow N64 cartridge that isn't Donkey Kong 64? How disgraceful!

Kudos on getting two wavebirds for less than the price of one, though. Sticks on my wavebirds are getting real loosey goosey. :(

Not only was Tony Hawk 2 yellow but Earthworm Jim was as well. I also love how the DK box says collector's edition yellow but they were all yellow.

Actually not wobbly at all. Quite sturdy. The only downside however I don't mind it at all and hardly noticeable once loaded up is the shelves curve a tad in middle. But I have had them full for a few years now lol. As far as your wobble problem I just made sure everything was super tight and used most every nail on the backboard

The sealed Wavebird is going on ebay so I can buy other games.. ;) They sell from $90-$125 so I'll get rid of it.
