Went to some Yard Sales in town. The following is some of what I got.

Wanted .50 cents each. Offered $5 for the whole box.
Loose Majora's Mask and RE Directors cut from other Yard Sales


Same Yard Sale:

$3 per box set. Random PS1 games and PS2 Gameshark were $2 for all of them.


First Yard Sale I hit had:

In a NASTY Mildew covered laptop bag. They wanted $15, I offered $11 for the Lego, RE1 Directors Cut and a pasta pot (for crafting without destroying our current pots n pans)

Awesome Extron Wig, those things are built to work forever.

That's what I hear. Gonna cost me a fortune in RCA and S-vid adapters though :/

What model No. is it? Also, not using RGB out from your consoles?

Lego pickups FTW!  You only see those pickups in the summer (garage sales), but they always make me smile :) Folks over on CAG are always grabbing big ol' buckets of LEGOs.

Still sad to see the last one go. Gotta make one for myself.

Arseen, 4 went to someone here.  I won't say who in case he doesn't want folks to know. 2 went to a fellow who was just a good customer and expressed interest really early on. I think he's registered here, but even if so, he's not an active member.

They have model numbers?  I thought they were all built to spec?  I'll check when it shows up though

edit: no model number per se, but the model is "crosspoint". Like many Extron products, it can be configured in like a jillion different ways :P

But I'm in the US. RGB isn't exactly easy for us. Component is really my best option barring hunting down a TV with an Scart input :(

Just whack a RGB to YUV transcoder in your chain after the Extron and you'd be good to go I imagine. SVid and Composite are the devil!

Not a whole lot anywhere today. Ended up stopping at Gamestop to pickup the Kirby's Dream Collection. Been meaning to get it before it becomes scarce. The Pokemon games were from some lowball auctions over on CAG.

Build some SCART to BNC adapters or mod your cables directly.

Wiggy was in possession of a rare Donkey Kong Country Competition Cart yesterday for a good 6 hours, until he gave it back.  He could have gotten away with it and I wouldn't have noticed for a good month either, but he's just that awesome =D

Was standing next to his pure awesomeness of a merchandise all day, and let me tell you guys, that White Sega Nomad... THAT was amazing.  Now don't get me wrong, EVERYTHING HE CREATED IS AMAZING, but I was personally upset I didn't buy that damn Nomad.  AAArrrrrgggggggg
