Ah fuck! Fair enough. Thought the contact points might just need re-soldering.

Today I traded in some stuff at my local retro store and got an NES and some games for various systems. The NES was $60 (had enough trade that I didn't pay any cash) which isn't an amazing deal buy I've never seen one there and I was looking for one. Then tonight I stopped by Goodwill just to see if they had any games and found an NES for $4.99! It is just the system w/ no cables or controller but I'm thinking about taking the other one back tomorrow to return it or I might just sell one. The one from Goodwill actually is in great condition and works just fine.

That's how it works elsewhere. We're quite lucky that it doesn't work that way here.

Why?

Since its a game they decided to Tax it then the courier decides that since they paid my customs for me that I should pay them the VAT + a Handling fee for having to hold it.

My last pick up for a while. Need to save cash for other stuff.

For NES: Super Mario Bros (I already had SMB/Duck Hunt, but I don't have a zapper so I prefer to have this version), Super Mario Bros 2,  Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, and TMNT2:Arcade Game

For SNES: Axelay, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, Ren and Stimpy:Veediots (complete), Starfox, Tiny Toons:Buster Busts Loose

For PS1: Final Fantasy7 (only $15 complete, definitely the best pickup), Loaded (complete), Resident Evil3:Nemesis (complete)
