February 2018 hauls - Hoarding continues
Mel:
Rocket Knight Adventure Vinyl
Nier Automata vinyl
EVILSANTA777:
Picked these up for $50 between the two of them.
Just the box for the GameCube (didn't actually get Mario Sunshine yet), because I'm ordering an HDMI modded one and needed a nice box to go with it.

And the time for new quality standards starts today.... ::)

But is still only 140PPI/DPI, so not even high enough for TCP's print standards :P

Actually DPI/PPI of my screen is about 67 if I did the math correctly (3840px, 57,7" wide) but the size negates that problem.
And 4K TV resolution exceeds SNES Verticals template's resolution so I can see the whole cover at once.
65" TV viewed less than meter away so cover making/checking should be sharp.
Arseen:
I bought some alcohol to stock up, and and 2 shopping bags pretty much full of candy (so with tetris skill used about 40-50 liters).
Megatron:
I brought a PS2 trade in to a local video game store to see what they would offer. It was a PS2, 2 controllers, memory cards and about 50 games. Average, common, near worthless games. Mostly titles like Jeopardy, Hitman, Dead to Rights - stuff you'd see in a goodwill or a flea market. Some good ones (Ico, SotC, MGS 3) but again, nothing to write home about. Nothing rare, no RPGs or big name, must have or pricey titles. I was going to put it on offer up for like $100 OBO just to be rid of it, but tried this first.
Anyway, the woman goes through everything and offers me $250 credit for all of it. I couldn't believe it. Either she knew something I didn't, her figures were way off, or this place is seriously over priced. So I took the credit, and immediately bought a Nintendo Switch they had in box with Mario Odysee.
So a mint Switch plus Mario cost me about $50 out of pocket, a spare PS2 and a ton of worthless games I would have never played. :D
