February 2017 pickups - (something wiggy here)
(1/11) > >>
wiggy:
Wow, never been the first to post in a monthly pickup thread.

Anyway, the DSi collection is 100% complete. Time for a new display case I guess :P

Lashek:
Wiggy, you should have titled it "Something wiggy here" instead.... Was the perfect opportunity.

I am dissapoint. BUT, nice score :D
Taketheword:
I finally added these to my collection.
Megatron:
I am loving the Offer Up ap.  At least in San Diego, I find it yields much better stuff than craigslist.

Anyhoo...I was pretty skeptical about making another big purchase any time soon (since I just spent a few hundred on a huge lot of Genesis games) but I saw this ad selling a Supaboy, Kirby's Dream Course CIB, an SNES everdrive, Megaman and Mega Man 2.  All for $250.

My initial thoughts were "eh" especially when I noticed the everdrive was the cheap Chinese version.  Yes, it works, but it's nothing special.

But then I realized Megaman and Megaman 2 werent in the pictures.  It had two SNES games there, but I couldn't read the labels.  On a whim I assumed they were Mega Man X and X2, so I decided to buy it.  At the meet I found I was right - they were the X games.  Only the guy made a typo...it wasn't 2 (X2), it was X3!  I must have mentioned this out loud, that it was 3, not 2, because he apologized and said he'd take $10 off for the mistake.  I told him I didn't care, but he insisted.  So, trying to conceal my enthusiasm, I forked over $240 for the lot.  After a little cleaning, everything works great.  The supaboy is even modified so that the d-pad works (a problem with the design of the system, the d pad is useless)

Fixed  8)

and thanks!  On to the DSi XL/LL.  3 more for it, including one that I am having a seriously difficult time locating at all, let alone for a good price :-\

Niiiiiiiiiice!

Offerup absolutely BLOWS in the Cleveland area, at least last I checked which was like 6 months ago.  Maybe I should check on that again...
