I don't think I got your email. I saw a post where the port was broken or something.. I've got scraps I could send you a port if needed.. I don't know how easy they are to remove or resolder or anythng, I'm no good at electronics. Drop me another email at joelp@cyberspaceport.com maybe I accedentally blocked your email address or something, I've been battling SPAM like no bodys business lately. Blocking everything that moves :-)

now just hold on one cotton pickin minute ...

 

first, this is a relatively cheap hobby unless you use evil-bay. flea malls sell games at $1 cart. hell, i'm a cheap bastard so that's what got me collecting.

 

second, if people are giving you carts, yer missin all the fun. you gotta go to yard sales and thrift stores for the treasure hunt. it's the thrill of the hunt! then, you git to brag about it on this board.

 

so, start memorizing the rarity guide, practice yer poker face and teach yer dog to sniff out carts.

Like any collection, it can turn into an addiction. And the Evil one had made it relatively easier to get a fix...for a price. So you end up buying lots of "lots", and suddenly your collection grows from every cart to one with every vendor's cart and then to every vendor's label variations, and prototypes, and exclusives, and then it gets really bad when you start bidding on sealed NIB games. How much fun are you having?
