September 2017 Pickups

[FireJoker54]

I also liked the old Rose Colored Gaming logo better. Maybe because I got used to seeing it so often in Wiggy's posts? I do feel like the new one may be a bit too simple, I don't hate it though. Never saw the "Q" until people mentioned it BTW.

Some Sega pickups.  I'd never played Tempest 2000 until I just got it this week.  It's a pretty fun game, though it would be amazing with a spinner controller.

You're picture isn't showing up. Photobucket charges money to share photos now.

Didn't know that.  I can see my picture on this thread - I guess nobody else can see it though.  Any suggestions for a good free photo hosting site that works here?  I tried Imgur but the photo didn't show up.

Anyway, the pickups were Tempest 2000, Sega Ages, Clockwork Knight & Sega Touring Car Championship for U.S. Saturn, plus Ghouls & Ghosts and Streets of Rage 3 for Genesis.

I know people have got imgur to work, it can be tricky figuring out the right link to use though. I use mediafire myself, and I know some members have switched to PostImage and imgbb as well. I've seen people using their Google Drive and OneDrive accounts to host images too.

After Photobucket went to shit I switched to Imgur.  So much better.  Resizing is so simple, Just put an "l".
Here:
So if you image URL is https://i.imgur.com/9ZC02Os.jpg, you simply add the l to the image name: https://i.imgur.com/9ZC02Osl.jpg. Now your image is a large thumbnail! (640×640 pixels)
Thats what I do.

Found a couple of games on clearance at Walmart over the weekend.

Terraria was $15 and Guitar Hero was $5!

No way! All the Walmarts I've been to still have Guitar Hero at 50 bucks!

Finally  got a component_audio switch (4 inputs). Even feels like a retro setup box with the red lightto identify the active port.

I finally got my V2 of the Pelican System Selector Pro off ebay. I've had a V1 since they first released it, but never got the 2nd version that was much nicer. Naturally I get it, and not all the ports work. So now I get to try and troubleshoot it myself, with my limited knowledge, or find someone that has enough knowledge to help me track down the problem. I opened it, and it's super clean on the inside, and I don't see any burst caps or anything, but I'm not getting signal through several of the inputs. Really need to find someone local that can help me figure this thing out, because it'll be amazing once I can get it working. It's even got an IR sensor on it so I may be able to control it with my Harmony setup.

Here's what it looks like:

Honestly, if it's not working right, I would consider returning it through eBay while you still can.  If you can get it working, great, but I wouldn't count on it.

[Hesch]

These things are so big and old that not many sellers are testing them, let alone allowing returns

Did the seller say it didn't work in the listing?  If not, return it.

[Hesch]

All it says is powers on and untested. I'd have to pay for shipping both ways and a "15% restocking fee". Got it for $37, and shipping to me was $16. Doesn't seem like there's any benefit to returning it, since that $37 would be eaten by shipping and what not. Unless there's something I don't understand, which is entirely possible since I almost never eBay.

Someone who is more familiar with the eBay return policy should chime in, but just because the seller claims "no returns" or "restocking fees" doesn't mean much of anything.  The PS2 game I just bought was listed as "no returns," but I still got my money back and if the seller had wanted the game back (he didn't) he would have been paying for the return shipping. 

Your situation is a little different however, because the seller listed it as untested.  I'm not sure if that covers him or not.  My game was listed and "complete" and in "good condition" so the seller had no leg to stand on.

"Untested" is how sellers get around the eBay return policy when selling broken stuff.  Typically "untested" means buy at your own risk. If the listing gave any indication that the unit may not work correctly, I think it covers them from eBay guarantee.  However, as TDI already stated, if they list something one way and it comes different, then you can open a case and resolve it.
