March 2018 hauls - Stuff for the 3rd best month of the year!
Hesch:
I picked up a retron 5 from Gamestop for $100. Pretty good deal, since all I want to use it for is to play IPS patched games. Loaded up Seiken Densetsu 3, and it played. SO happy. Maybe I'll get some famicom games now too. Haven't even begun looking at those, so I need to figure out what's worth getting.
Also got the Zelda Spirit Tracks collector's hardback guide from my local game store. That makes 3 of those I have now. Kinda regret not buying the box set when I had the chance
TDIRunner:
I picked up some older rental store shelves yesterday for super cheap. These shelves had already changed hands once. The current owner was renting movies out of her tanning salon and decided to get out of that business, so she was selling the movies and shelves. I'm pretty sure she had acquired them from a previous rental store that had gone out of business. If everything goes well, I'm going to pickup one more today. Sorry for the bad lighting and the pile of stuff that's in the way. We are currently working on a basement project that is going to make the room look much better (including new lighting), but it's still a work in process. The timing for getting these shelves is poor because I'm trying not to bring in new stuff until the project is complete, but I couldn't pass up on the deal. The shelves are about 4 feet long, but each shelf rests on the backer board which rests on the next shelf below it, so that support should help prevent bowing. These shelves are pretty old and they haven't started bowing yet, so I think they will hold up quite well.
Bear78:
looks like some nice shelves there!
SegaNomadman:
Very nice! Does the extra headroom on the shelves allow for longbox games like the Saturn to fit?
wiggy:
Well those are pretty much perfect!
