Still waiting the Snes to arrive, think is going to be here tomorrow 

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?

^^^ that's what I was thinking too. I'd love to make that thing sparkle again!

To bad you do t live close to me, or I'd get that puppy in top shape for you dents and paint!

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  , i'm from the Dominican Republic  .

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 .

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

The last of my August stuff. All free from my father in-law.

Palmer - you're only about 5 1/2 hours from me.

Right now, I'm just flat broke though.  And, that thing isn't easy to move.  The entire top half is made of steel and it contains two CRT monitors... I don't know how much it weighs... but it's a lot.

Local flea market find.  4 games for 10 bucks.  Couple other vendors had similar deals but mostly sports or kiddie games like dora or barbie.  And there were a couple reseller vendors that I browsed but thought compared to the others, they were over priced.

Max Payne is still factory sealed
Mark of Kri and Max Payne I already have but disc only..I was about to buy the cover/manual/box from bresoftware, but it was much cheaper to just rebuy the games.

Also wanted a bit of an opinion.  Some guy was selling a dreamcast, with 2 controllers (one 3rd party and original) and cables and I believe a memory card.  But it looked pretty dirty and controllers weren't much different.  Especially the 3rd party one.  He was asking 35 and was pretty firm but I let it go due to the dirty condition.  He assured me it still worked but I have a hard time believing a flea market vendor lol.  Should I have just gotten it?  Dreamcasts around here hard to find and usually highly priced :\

That's still a long time to drive to me. After about 2 hours I start getting grumpy. Lol.

@superchomp-

No I would have passed that up also. You can get them clean for around that price. And maybe with a game.
I picked up my 1st SDC for $25 and it had 2 controllers (1 white 1 transparent green. Both were original) all hookups, and like 5 games.

If you want a Dreamcast, and everything works, that's not a bad deal.  I often frequent game stores and a complete DC system with no VMU and one controller generally goes for $50.  Cool thing about DC is that it will play burned games without modding the console, so techinically for $35 you can get all that, and for the cost of a stack of blank CDs you can get a large library of games.

Received most of the stuff for the Atari Flash Back 2 mod yesterday except the FB2 itself
(the only place to buy the pin connector has a $20 min purchase so I grabbed a couple random atari games)



I *gasp* got a slide cutter. Not because I sliced myself either. No one sells them locally. Happened to find one out of town yesterday
