+groundtrooper Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Well someone really wanted one...This one sold on ebay for $210 + $16 shipping. This guy was dumping a whole bunch of AA Hb's Including Crystal Quest. You could buy a lot of POKEY CHIPS with that coin. Even with the new jacked up prices that POKEY's are going for as of late.

I was watching that auction. Was pretty shocked at the final bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixMoonPatrol Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I realize that some folks don't do the forum thing to keep their ear to the ground when a new batch of these become available,but buying at those prices,wooooooow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Some chumps only buy on eBay. Like how I got an original Pacman lunchbox for $25 on Etsy when minty ones selling on eBay for $200-$300. I bought a used vinyl album Tipsy "Trip Tease" on discogs for $25, fairly uncommon album. But I could have paid $100+ on eBay. Unfortunately there's no "hidden marketplace" for video games outside of eBay/Amazon. And Game Gavel doesn't count, unless Piko somehow jacks up the userbase by orders of magnitude. Finally everyone using pricecharting and/or sold listings (or worse bins) from eBay to price their goods. eBay drives up Price Charting. Price Charting drives up eBay. Perfect storm. Got something truly rare? Each auction breaks the previous record, and a new bar is set for bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seals it, I am selling mine. I can make an even more rare version of this, using the Versa2. Nobody has one, in the entire space, except from some dude in a parallel universe, perhaps. I bet using the V2 hand modded, using a rare NVRAM chip, HSC could be built in. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Trebor Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Seeing this makes me think that Ill may never get to have a real cart in my life time:P Oh well^_^; Agreed. Or even play the finished game. Very sad Directions were provided on how to obtain a copy. It was re-emphasized a week ago. Same directions are pasted below for convenience... I have everything I need to build more carts but no POKEY chips. If anyone wants to order a cart they will need to send me a POKEY chip or a Ballblazer cart. The price will depend on which one you send. Price includes shipping in the US. $56 with POKEY chip doner $52 with Ballblazer doner Send me a PM if you want one. If your outside the US, I'll let you know how much the extra postage will be. dkpkpic.jpg Thanks! TEP392 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks Robert. I have enough parts to last a while. Just need folks to send their Pokeys or Ballblazers. In fact I just shipped out a game this morning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way to retrofit these? I think you can burn a new DK ROM to put in a Ballblazer? There was one game that used Ballblazer PCBs with new ROMs. Can't remember if it was this, Super Circus, or something else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an eprom burner, and even if I did, I would never burn an eprom of a homebrew rom without the author's permission. I'm asking if I can trade my existing non-pokey DK XM cart for one with a pokey, and I have a pokey to supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can not, only my board can do DK PK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
