September 2013 pickups - Yours truly TTT

[larryinc64]

Alright, first eBay purchase.
Got a CIB copy of Super Mario 64. $37



Hopefully everything turns out good.

Also looking through the reviews of the seller, under neutral:
Buyer: THANKS
Seller response: Neutrals are cool too

That is a excellent condition on that box, hopefully it gets sent in a box. I've had too many CIB games sent by ebay sellers that were crushed in bubble mailers. Seems like a pretty cool guy too since most sellers flip out if you don't leave positive feedback.

I sent a message to the seller right after I bought it asking for it to be sent in one. I had it happen a long time ago with GBC Donkey Kong Country. The seller is a store that sells a lot of games, so hopefully he knows better.
He seems nice enough to legitimate negative comments, and seems to have good customer service if a mistake is made. Seems a bit rude to some others. That comment came of to me a bit sarcastic.
"Good" "We are glad you had such a neutral experience. Thanks for no negative?"

GB micro collection is getting perilously close to completion

[BadChad]

FUCK.....YES!!!



I don't usually bother to post my pick up because its just too much work and I'm always getting new stuff, but this is just too good not to share. Picked this bad boy up yesterday for $450. A Neo Geo MVS 4-Slot Cabinet fully loaded with 4 games! Only one of which is actually displayed in the marquees inside.



So my girlfriend has a Horse and every month or so, she competes in a local competition against other locals and this all happens at a place called "B & H Ranch". I've been there a few time when she's competed or just to watch. Anyway, this Sunday it happened to be raining so a portion of the competition was done in the indoor arena, which happens to have a little spectator box / rec room and I had never been up there. So I make it to the top of the stairs, turn around, and see this powered on in the corner. I had to have it! Asked the owner of the Ranch what they wanted for it and worked out a deal. $450 worked for me! I gotta say, I probably rescued this poor thing from an eventual demise. This thing was pretty damn dirty with barn dust all over, and that shit gets in everything! Stripped it apart the best and could and cleaned the hell out of it. Surprisingly, aside from the usual cosmetic damage like dents and scuffs, overall this thing is in good shape and everything work great accept for these:



I haven't really had a chance to look into it but the marquee lights don't seem to be working. And I'm guessing these things wont easily replaced if their burn out. Worst comes to worst, I can always install a fluorescent tube light. Super stoked to start collecting MVS carts!

[Azarkhel]

I'd be jealous, but I'm getting my cab in two weeks.

[wiggy]

Totally jelly.

Those marquee lights look like they're made of EL film. If so, they won't be terribly hard to replace, but they give off so little light that I'd seriously consider other options.

[SnesGuy]

Just wire in a fluorescent. They look great. (Me and my dad used to build MAME cabinets.)

[tiktektak]

Very very nice pick up for a good price! Has the screen burn-ins? That is the worst thing most of the time.

By the way coincidently I will be getting my firts candy cab also in four weeks. A New Astro city! Finally!!!!

[scarmullet]

I went back to the pawn shop, and I grabbed me a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it came with the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD.

Also They have several Wii Us, they have the 8 gig basic model for $150, marked down to $70...just to get rid of it. I'll be heading back tomorrow to put a down payment on it (25% of the price), and seeing if I can take it home. If not, I'll have a Wii U on tuesday...that is if it has what it needs.

Think I may have found a place on the Neo Geo forums where I can get a set of 4 new panels for about $75. Apparently their better than the originals. Looks easy peezy to replace too. Might just go for that.

Nope, no burn-ins! I was actually pretty impressed with the crispness of the monitor in this thing. Dame near pixel perfect!

Now I just need to find a place to get cardboard boxes that match the ones these the carts originally came in. I'd like to pick up a few a bunch, and then just scan my cart labels, reprint and stick on the boxes. And voila, a retail reproduction box! Then my next step would be to build a mini shelf tower to hold my collection that looks like the MVS cabinet with perfect slots for the boxes to sit next to the MVS. I fucking love this thing!

neo-mini boxes?, don't know how close they are to the original though, also there is a place where you can download the cart labels, that's what i do if i need to replace any.

...lucky guy, totally jelly!

[wiggy]

Azarkhel might be the guy to ask about those boxes.

[Azarkhel]

You want the original brown kit style boxes or just boxes for your carts? There's a few options for Neo shit.
