BydoEmpire Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I just received my new gold-dot, rebuilt CX52 controller from Best Electronics. It's a beautiful thing. On the same day an ebay order w/ some 5200 carts arrived (all commons, but I didn't have them: Centipede, Qix, Missile Command, Pole Position, Space Invaders). Perfect timing. Now, when my Adventure 2 arrives I'll be all set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Grabbed a Logitech Driving Force wheel for $8.11 today. Everything's there, but I have to test it and perhaps do some repairs. I've already got one (see its repair guide in the hardware section), so I'm going to take offers on this one when I get it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it that you made 500% profit (I think)-- but what is this 'bin' you speak of? ('Grats on the crazy flip!) Wait... is it "Buy It Now?" The lack of CAPS through me for a bit, but my wife... I mean I... got it. Eventually. Edited January 14, 2007 by Night Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should copy mine and sell the orginal? I do have a chip modded PS1! But then I couldn't play it on my PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Driver Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 While searching for games I came across 'Jill Kelly's 100% Blowjobs" and "The Complete Lolita" at the Corning, NY SalVal. I left a couple for the next guy, 'cause it was just to funny to see them on the shelf. Now, it occured to me that someone might have snuck them up there as a joke- but they were priced and the stickers weren't crinckled. Maybe someone in the back was working off community service. So, I came upon the tapes and then I came upon my shirt... but that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIN does mean "Buy It Now".True, but "bin" (not all caps) is a word meaning "container" (in the UK, usually a garbage container). Proper capitalization helps keep your meaning clear.

RickHarrisMaine Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 2 bucks? I'd have bought at least the Jill Kelly. But really, I don't think you can fill a 2 hour tape with literally 100% of this. Wouldn't she get tired after, like, 20 minutes? Let's see.....my greatest find of the weekend.....a Mario Parachute figure (I guess they were a Wendy's promo some time ago) for 59 cents.

Prodos8 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Picked up a boxed CBM 1571 drive for $5 at the local GW. Think its broken though. Tried using it on a VIC-20 and on an SX-64 as device #9 and it just spins constantly with both the power and the drive light on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Found a lot of good 45's with picture sleeves, most in great condition. The amusing thing is, many of them have Jazzercise routines folded up inside. Ah, the days of '80s aerobics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should copy mine and sell the orginal? I do have a chip modded PS1! But then I couldn't play it on my PS2. That's what I did. I got rid of the more expensive games because of my modded PS2. I also found a Silent Hill Demo (not one of those Playstation Magazine demos...) at a Gamestop a while back. Bought it for $7 and then sold it for $35 on ebay. Funny thing... it had an original release instruction booklet. On a second note, my girlfriend brought home the Atari that her co-worker had. Cost was free. The highlight was the Brown cloth dustconer with the Fuji symbol and Atari on it... Then I got a Light Sixer, and I think it was 30 games. I got a Trick Shot, and Frostbite... I think those were the rarest in the lot. Not too shabby. I got a few Activision titles with hardly any acti-plaque. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
