July 2015 - Stuff bought by those who survived Juhannus

[bender3455]

So, I finally made my big grab!  This one was a lot of fun to get, and I wish I took pictures as I got it all.  Basically, my neighbor was having a yard sale, and I saw a PS2 with a hard drive adapter attached.  I wanted the hard drive adapter, so I figured I'd grab the PS2 as well.  My neighbor sees me grab the PS2 and asks if I like games.  I tell him I have fun collecting them and I've got all sorts of stuff at the house, and he pulls out 2 boxes of random stuff.  I tell him I'll have fun digging through those, and I'll buy them from him not knowing what's in there, and ask him what he wants for them.  (Total cost at the very bottom).  I pay him and bring the boxes over to my house.  A lot of the stuff is not pictured, but it looks like he bought a bunch of things from Blockbuster right before they went out of business.  There were about 50 PS1 games, a couple N64 games, a dance mat, and a few more controllers that I gave to a friend of mine that works at the flea market.  The stuff that I kept is below.  All of the PS1 long boxes were empty, but in PERFECT condition.  I happened to have a disc of Starblade Alpha to put in its box, and I bought a disc for the rest.  The virtual boy had a broken clamp, so I ordered one off Ebay for 35.00 and we were good to go there.  One of the PS1 discs is Xmen vs Street Fighter and theres even a N64 expansion.  Total cost: 10 bucks

I highly suggest trying to find someone local to you that would actually build you a shelf to how you want it. It would prolly be cheaper that way anyway. I just bought some boards to fix my bed and it only cost me $7 and some time. Plus that would be pretty sturdy and you know it's made from real wood instead of fiberboard.

Reviews are good, and it says its made of oak/actual wood and is very sturdy.

I found a eBay seller with it for $230, with a 10% off orders over $200, and a make an offer. I want 2-3 of them.

I'm guessing that's maybe 5 foot tall by 4 foot wide? If you did that by yourself it would cost between $100-150. So I don't see $200 being to bad of a price with shipping. I'd say go for it then man.

I just prefer mine to be a little taller.

[larryinc64]

Hits 64 inches tall, 44" wide. It's also perfect for Sfox cases, they are 2 DVDs cases wide, and each shelf holds 34 DVDs, so it holds 17 Sfox cases with no extra space, and the middle devide is something I wanted.

A few small pickups.

First was a small grab at a local pawn shop.  Nothing big.  Lot was $7.  Road Rash is just a case so if anyone has an extra disk let me know!




This was a Craigslist lot.  $16

OK I JUST WANT A GOD DAM SHELF!

I was looking around and the Leslie Dame Enterprises 64” Multimedia Wall Rack seems perfect for my needs, why does every website that sells it have 1-2 stars on Yelp or whatever?

bellacor.com has it cheapest, buy $60 but the reviews are really bad.

wayfair.com, shop.com, cymax.xom all have it but they apparently suck.

What the hell is with all this marketplace shit on Sears, Best buy and Walmart. If I'm on that site, I WANT TO BUY FROM THE SITE.

way fair.com is pretty reliable I bought one of my shelves from there and it got to my house pretty quick, I live in Canada too so the whippings pretty good.

[larryinc64]

I found a eBay seller with it for cheaper, they also have a site, shopfreely.com, The base price is $230, with a 10% off orders over $100, so $205. I put in an offer for $175, saying I'm planning on buying 3 in total.

I'm just getting one first to make sure I like it.

To answer that question for shenske, he got them from a guy in Hong Kong who I believe manufactures them brand new to order. Other than that, I don't really know the details. I went in on a few of these with shenske for myself and a couple friends. I can't speak for him 100% here but he might have a couple left that are available!

Anyway, here's some of my pickups from June to now.



GBA:
- Fire Emblem CIB
- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones CIB
Had to pick these both up CIB with the excitement of my copy of "The Binding Blade" on the way. Have plans to build myself a CIB packaging to go with that in the future and figured it would be cool to have the GBA Trilogy complete!

Genesis:
- Chiki Chiki Boys
- Dick Tracy
- Dynamite Duk
- Earnest Evans
- Forgotten Worlds
- Jewel Master
- Ristar
- Skeleton Krew
Been going pretty steady with pick-ups for my Genesis lately. All games are CIB!

Neo Geo MVS:
- Bang Bang Busters
- Ghostlop
- Legend of Success Joe
A couple more games for the MVS collection since its been a while since I added anything new. Bang Bang Busters and Ghostlop are reprodutions of games that were unreleased.

[larryinc64]

I got this for $30, Sonic Jam disc only. Screw paying $80 for a case.



I also got new Saturn AV cable, mine craped out and does not output sound.
