  1. Anybody know of a good comic book cataloging software that is free and if not a free website?

  2. Anymore news on this? Seems as if he does not want an easy 30K+in his pocket, I mean how hard is it to buy an power cord that not only fits but works or even easier without spending money, using a screwdriver and open it up. It's not like(I'm assuming) it uses a screw type the average person does not have like the Tri-wing screw that Nintendo uses on it's handhelds. Even if he works all day, I would imagine it would only take 2 minutes to open it up...
  3. 1.it depends. For most of the consoles, I calculated the averages from recent Ebay sold prices this year, but for rare ones like the Epoch Super Cassette Vision where very few are on Ebay, I took the lowest buy it now price, which may or may not be overpriced as it could be the seller thinking "oh it's really rare to find so I'd say this is a fair price" when it's in reality, $100 less that what you can find one on say a forum or such. 2. No, I only counted working prices although I can count those prices which I would guess would be slightly harder to calculate 3. As of now the total only includes the consoles I could find prices for. The consoles with no prices are just there so I can fill in the prices at a later time. 4. I only added the Japanese version because if I added the European version, that would mean I would have to add the different versions of the Mega Drive(and other consoles) around the world and the 1292 APVS(Advanced Programmable Video System)/ Interton VC4000 line of consoles has 29 different versions around the world(Germany, Spain, Great Britain, Argentina, New Zealand, Italy and France) and yeah, one was supposed to be the model 1 and the other, the model 2 but it is fixed now. About the 2800, I dunno where I got that price from. I thought I got it from looking at previous sold 2800's from this year but I can only find one now and that sold for $102.50. Shipping was $50 but I didn't include shipping prices in the list although maybe I should...Also I didn't think the 2600 sold for that much so for the 2600, I just guessed on a fair price(This was only for say 6-7 consoles and they were the common systems) so yeah I'll have to change the 2600's price and find a price for the 2800.What do you think is a fair price for a loose one and a boxed one in really good condition?

      i had a 78 Mark V, a 76 Mark IV and a 79 collectors series in the rare diamond blue metallic limited to only 197 made

      In a sense, yes. Problem is, i made a bad trade and lost the 76 so i just let the 79 go since it needed alot of work. I sold the 78 earlier on due to moving and not having a place to keep it. Actually got my eye on a 1953 Lincoln Cosmopolitan and two other cars.

  5. That Metlife commercial where the family is in the attic and the dad is like "im on it" always gets me. He knows damn well the first thing he did on his computer was not look up health insurance. He check his email, looked up the sports scores, streamed some Jerry Springer then 6 hours later he looked up the health insurance.

  6. how much it would cost to get every console not including clones/pong consoles boxed or loose?. Well I was bored so for fun I calculated from recent(this year) sold Ebay auctions and such and it comes to $16094 boxed and $10278 loose. The current price may be off or overpriced by a few hundreds and Wii/PS3/X360 and up are not added but it still should be close to an accurate price. You can look at the prices and if you see a price wrong(too high or too low) please do tell or better yet change it http://anotepad.com/notes/5164305. I guess if someone wanted to attempt to buy then all, they could get say 1 console a month and in 4 years, you'll be almost halfway there...either way it's nice for us to see what we will never have
  7. Just for fun I calculated how much it would cost to get every console(non clone/PC/pong console) and it comes up to $10278 loose and $16094 boxed

  8. Speak of the devil. Someone on here last week said their Action max was broken and I found one for $10(which is more than what I expected as they probably didn't even know what it was) at a Value Village today. Didn't see any games and it didn't come with the AV cord or headphones but hence my username, I just had to get it! The gun trigger when pressed down fully does not spring back up, but a little cleaning should make it work as new. Don't know if it works as I don't have the av cord but how many times could the original owner play this piece of crap

      Funny calling those "games". They were just simple vhs videos that interacted with the red light you had to stick on your screen. Had a couple of those and just didnt really care for it. Had all the tapes and a complete in box set.

  10. They don't call me TheObscureGamer for nothing The holy grail of consoles would have to be the RDI Halcyon without a doubt. less than 12 are know to exist and I don't even think it made it to retail. Honorable mentions: Casio PV-1000.it was only released in Japan(which means that not everybody could get their hands on one), it was only sold in stores for about 3 weeks, not that much advertising, it was made by Casio of all people, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was not even sold in all the major retailers. I need to find my system but that would mean I would have to go through boxes of clothes, toys and crap. Capcom CPS(Capcom Power System) Changer. Essentially Capcom's Neo Geo AES which was released in 1994 and only available through mail order, costed $447(10 of the 11 games costed half of that) and was discontinued in less than 2 and a half years. If the Neo Geo AES sold only 410 thousand worldwide then just imagine what a mail only console which only lasted 2 and a half years and was advertised less than the Neo Geo AES would sell(I'd imagine less than 100K). Sega Mega Jet. This was made only for use on an airplane.The console was a controller and you hooked it up to the airplane's TV.Seeing as this was only made for airplanes only and not buy able for consumer use, who knows how many were taken home when they stopped using them or they when they sold them in a liquidation sale... for handhelds it would be kinda tougher to locate but I'd say it's between the Gamate, R-zone, Mega Duck, Cougar Boy, SuperVision, or the Epoch Game pocket Computer...
  11. I'll have to post pictures of it all later as it's ALOT of stuff but this is stuff that I've acquired over the past year and a half(give or take a few), Anyway this is what I've found... . (this was around September,October or so of last year) 400(or so) PS2 games $29: I got all of this off Ebay as a bundle and although 320 or so of the games where sports games, 70 or so of them were non sports games(racing, shooting,platformers, etc) which was an excellent price and surprisingly no bids. There was another bundle this same guy had up which had 300+ non sports games which for whatever reason I passed up on(probably could have got it for under $50 as there was only 1 bidder) but whatever... (this and below is this year)Need for Speed Undercover(loose) for $1 an Xbox with 1 controller, all hookups and DVD receiver for $8 at the flea market a good 3 months and a half ago.It does not want want to play all the games that I have(it plays Dead or alive 3 no problems but 007 Agent under fire never works) but I can always mod it to play downloaded games so it's still usable. The same lady had Super Monkey Ball for Gamecube for only $2. She also had Shrek 2 for the Xbox and some Nes games(Batman, American gladiator, some LJN game town & country surf designs wood & water rage I believe, three stooges and I think one more game) which I passed on for $2 each(didn't have all my money on me). Didn't feel that bad at first because they were all relatively cheap games but now that I think about it, Batman is a really good game(also seems to be a $10-15 game), Shrek 2 is an OK game and the rest, for the price, just to try them out to see if they are crap and a cheap way to boost my collection count isn't bad either... Went to the flea market today and there was not that many people there(usually there are more people on Saturday than Sunday but there still usually be a lot of people there(a good 200-250 maybe 300 people). The guy(thankfully or it would have been a letdown) who I always buy comics from(all are $1 each from him) was there so I brought a few. I got Power Pack #15(Marvel), Justice League of America #59(DC), PSI Force #4(Marvel), Shadow of the bat #30(DC), Peacemaker #3(DC), and Vigilante #15. This year I've also have gotten Hex #16(DC), Icon #17(DC), Legends of the Dark Claw #1(DC and Marvel),The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #7(Marvel), X-men in the spectacular Spider-man #198(didn't see it had a bite out of the back of the book until I got home but ehh what can you do)(Marvel), Speedball and the Masked Marvel #3(Marvel), Strikeforce Morituri #2(Marvel), Deadshot secrets #3(Marvel), The doom patrol #3(DC), and Starman Sins of a child part 4.. My sister picked me up at an Anime convention for me The sensational Spider-man #199(Marvel) The new Teen Titans #27(DC), The Green Lantern corps #206(DC), Web of Spider-man #26(Marvel), and The mighty Thor #380(Marvel) for not sure how much exactly but under $15. After I went to the flea market I stopped at a Value Village and got some PS1 games for $8: The supposed games were Jersey Devil(complete), NFL Blitz 2000(complete), WF Smackdown(complete), Vigilante 8(no manual), Need for speed 3 Hot pursuit(complete), Delta Force urban warfare(no back cover and in some CD case but otherwise complete, Test drive off road(complete), and Crash Bandicoot Warped(complete). When I got home(don't know why I didn't check them all in the store) inside the Need for speed case was High stakes and not Hot pursuit, Smackdown 2 was in the Smackdown case, nothing was in the Jersey Devil case and nothing was also in the Blitz case. Hopefully when I go to the flea market next week and stop back at the VV, they have my games. If they do I might just slip both in one case as you know, I paid for them
  12. IMO the PSvita is the best way to go. you have the beautiful touchscreen, the rear touchpad, and the sweet thumbsticks. There are plenty of great games on the Vita plus it can play the PS1 and PSP games from the PSN. Also if you hack it, you have thousands of retro games at your disposal...
  13. I for one don't give a d*** if he's not a regular poster. I've been looking for one of these for the longest and now I have the chance to get one for a hopefully decent price. and even if there was a grace period before you can post here, he still would be selling the same high price item to the top seller once that grave period is over.
  14. The guy is(from what I've read) not that much of a gamer and he is not even responding to questions or anything. With the 3D technology we have now and such. I wouldn't be surprised that it is a fake, although I hope it's not. We will know for sure if it is fake if he says he lost it, someone stole it, it fell and broke, or he can't find the adapter and never buys one that works. I wonder why he has not responded to much stuff. If I was in possession of a sure 30K in my hands, I would have brought an ac adapter the second I found it. I'm not hating on the guy, not at all, I just want pics on the insides and more importantly the console coming on...
  15. Didn't after awhile Nintendo made the SNES cases not flame retardant(no yellowing)? So if this was to come out after the flame retardant change why is this one yellow? If I am wrong please point me in the right direction...
  16. Im not 100% sure on this but I would assume that with the right stuff, you could fake the yellowing of the console. Also there's this guy who makes really nice and high quality console cases and on his Twitter page, he has a picture of the supposed SNES add on(and a picture that the owner of the supposed SNES add on never put online) with the caption "I admit it's a fake thanks pxlbbq, I got uncovered". So that makes me believe th that means only 2 things. 1. that it's a fake, and 2. it's real but he had someone else say it's a fake to get more views or something. I wanna believe that it's real but with all of this 3D printing technology, I'm not 100% sure...
  17. Wonder how much did would sell for?. Knowing the hard on's that Nintendo and Sony fanboys are getting right now I can tell you it is gonna go for over 20K and sadly thats too much for me(sub 10K would have been fine).
  18. Neo Geo AES no question! I mean listen to a Nes game then listen to a Neo Geo game and tell me the Neo Geo does not have better sound.
  19. welp, my only reason for coming to this site every day(no offense Albert) is now gone. Dunno what to do now...

  20. Why the hell did they take down the Onlive servers?. I was playing games like Crysis 3 and battlefield and Batman on a crusty old 2004 PC with NO lag. Sony brought the company but hasen't done anything to the tech. Money to ber made and Sony is pushing it out the way...

      You're not running those games with any kind of high fidelity without lag with a 2004 PC.

  21. South Carolina to ban the sale of Tylenol in bottles because they fear picking the cotton from the bottle. What's next, removing the word whips from miracle whips because it's what the slave owners used to whip the slaves? we all need to just chill with this bull and play some Pitfall on the good ol' Atari

      Has this been reported by a reputable news source? I did a quick search and found nothing but forum and Facebook posts.

       

      Not that it would surprise me if it were true (I wouldn't put anything past today's PC-obsessed political left), but I'd like to see some verification.

  22. If you're talking about just the analog sticks, then you just pop the old ones off and put the new ones in it's place...if you mean fixing the actual analog stick sensors and crap idk how easy is is to fix. It can't be that hard but who knows...
