done pretty well earlier.
bumped into an old uncle, and he's emigrating to the bikini islands (jammy bastard) and as a permanent goodbye, gave me:
1, a silver ps2 with ALL it's hardware shit, including nw card, chunky with matching mc's and pads.
that's three silver chunkies now.
2, a 2" x 2" box loaded with games, i haven't checked them out yet. (suspect many dupes.)
i'll pay for my posts later with more scans, to shout about it, means i BOUGHT it, and the bill is DUE!  ;D
...
thanks a lot Des for the gear, and all the best at your new location, and NOT a moment too soon.
may you find what you're looking for, that clearly is devoid in england.
stay in touch, we're getting taken out en-masse, and there's not many of us left.  ??? :P
[edit]
corrected.  ;D

Finds from the weekend.  Was really happy to find N2O as I had been looking for it for a while.  Wii Sports Club was a valentines day present.  Also seriously considering going for a complete Wii U set.

I recognize those stickers.  They have pretty good prices, but those stickers are a bitch to get off, and they typically put them all over the case, including one usually inside the case.   >:(
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Yep, Disc Replay.  Some of the worst stickers around but they usually have pretty good prices and I've had some good scores there in the past.

When you were up there, did you check out Killen's or Recycled Records?  Killen's is pretty expensive.  I've never bought anything from them before.  Recycled Records is cheaper, but they have a very limited selection..... or at least they used to.  I haven't been there in years.

I despise Disc Replay's stickers! they put The price stickers on some of their gameboy and gameboy advance labels....enough to drive me crazy!

^^ can relate on so many levels, but in england here.
youtube may help with that?
i've found using surgical, methylated, or white spirits in sparing amounts with ordinary toilet roll as the rag to rub gently on prints (laminated) get me a cool 90% flawless result.
most adhesives, and marker inks lift away like it's not there, leaving the labels like new. ;D
does depend on the adhesives and ink types the labels are marked with.
naphtha (fractional distillation) oil is also useful, albeit it leaves a little grease, nothing major. (wipe that off in no time)
acetone is a no-go, that shit can even warp plastics, it's designed to dissolve human hair/nails by softening it up.
...
most actual plastics (not laminated labels/prints) can be pretty much approached with a hammer, as that problem mostly is a nail.
for stickers, labels and laminated prints, due care is required.  ;D
[edit]
that's the third keyboard misfiring, NOT recognising keystrokes, i'll fold this POS, and get an old AT, ps/2 keyboard with cobble stones for keys.
is it me or have the keys got MUCH smaller, grouped tightly together, made to piss man-hands right off.
need needle-fingers to hit shit without it spazzing out and going like 'jgbmh' just for a single key press.  >:(

I didn't this past time but I have before.  I may have bought something once from Killen's but yeah, they are overpriced on 95% of their stuff.  I've got some good stuff from Recycled Records but they are closed on Sundays (which is when I was up there).  Press Start which is a little down the road in Jacksonville is a really great place to check out though if you are ever in the area.

Cool.  I haven't been there.  I'm originally from Springfield, and we still have some family there, so I'm up there every once and a while, but I usually don't have time to stop by game stores when I'm there.

shag it!  :P
when it comes to dick swinging, i'll do, just that, and dump whatever games they are.
other items get a mention IF i have... ;D
...
managed to score a complete retail copy of FF13 p3 for the ps3, so that wraps that up nicely.
got another spare copy of FF13 p2, fully completed.
came as a package deal, and all i did was replace a mains transformer, on their tab, just ten minute job, and done.  ;D was heavy, nearly fell down some steps carrying it, would've fucked me up good style.  >:(
even threw in animaniacs the great edgar hunt for shitz n giggles.
...
after interacting with a certain subject (and running into old 'chumps' for a chat) this was a good counter-balance.  :P
i'll rip em later....

I think that one I actually get. Should mean that posting stuff here brings pride to them, but maybe the negative aspect of it.

for real guys, are you REALLY as slow as the evidence is starting appear as, really?  ???
i'll spell it out for somewhat LESS than bright bulbs!
DICK SWINGING IS SLANG FOR SHOUT ABOUT A PICKUP UP A BUY!
FFS GUYS!
i thought you was better than that, clearly it's looking like i'm wrong.
use your fuckin skulls will ya?!  >:(
[edit]
not wasting a post.  ;D
okay, sterile, monotone dead-head mode it is.
scored a nice twenty stack of ps2 cases, and a pair of 64m third-party memory cards.
came to a great price of two gbp for it all.
sadly, i can't scan an mc or a plastic dvd type case, so it's one of them.. (i owe scans for this.)
not bad pickup really, high-capacity mc's are hard to find, along with official ps2 cases.
(try that one, and tell me you can't make that one out?!  ::) )
[edit]
shit keyboards.
