I want a manual for my copy of Mike Tyson's Punchout. Did you end up with that boxed snes? Is that a local pick up in Brazil? Is it hard to find games over there?

To be fair, I'm not that far from either of you (considering the drive to pick it up in the first place). Wiggy and I have discussed our distances and according to the state in your profile, palmer can't be more than 6-8 hours away. ;)

Ya I live 40 Minuits north of Sedalia MO. So if your ever in need. Hit one of us up. I actually do auto body stuff. Went to school for it even. I havn't done it in a few years though so I'd have to get some practice in.

I'm not from Brazil :P, i'm from the Dominican Republic ;D.
No, here is more or less easy to find games for PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360 or cartridges made by nintendo, not sega or atari, but to find a console like a Nes, Snes, N64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2 or even XBox in like new condition and in box it's hard, not to mention manuals, that's impossible.
If i'm going to buy a console or manual i use internet, it's cheaper than buying them here, easy to find and in better condition, all my consoles are in like new condition and in box ;D.
Cartridges here are more easy to find, cheaper to buy, and in good condition.

Oops! Wrong country.
Cool, I was curious what collecting was like in other countries.

Hey sorry, don't mean to beat a dead horse, but you guys should definitely document the restoration of the Nintendo arcade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epaTcDxt7rU
