bah Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Today in the mail I received a package and the carnage inside is fitting for the day it was delivered. It seems the E-Pay seller neglected to tell me the lot of 5200 carts had been under water for some time. These are the worst carts I have seen. No they don't work either but I did try just for grins (see the shiny contacts)!! The seller did advise that they "were rough" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller did advise that they "were rough" heck buy some distilled water from walmart and give them a good scrubbing with a toothbrush to remove any rust and sediment chances are unless any traces are corroded through it ought to live again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once soaked an Amiga floppy drive in water to clean it and never worked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the titanic went down before the A5200 was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on which version of the movie you watched; I would go with the documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bah Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Actually guys, I got a lot of over 45 carts for about $13.50 shipped. The 2600 carts I wanted were good but all the 5200 carts were in poor shape. Someone must have gathered a bunch of misc carts from different places and sold them cheap. I did give the seller an upset reply but did not open a case of any type. For short, I won the games I wanted and the 5200 carts were commons anyway so I am happy enough.
