    Lovely craftsmanship dude, I thought bartops were normally in the 250-300 neighbourhood though. I see an offer well above that so I must be out of touch. :)

    Here's a thing....
    Wii U for €275

    Now, as far as I know, if something is too good to be true, it typically is and, in this instance, it'll possibly turn out to be a ready brek box with the words "WeeU" written on the side in Sharpie marker.
    But, we shall see what happens.

    Remember that countertop Snes shop display which was on sale a little while ago? Well it has nothing on this! Serious want.

    So cool, first thing he should do though is take out that p1ss coloured Snes & put a non yellowed one in.

    It's a difficult one - do you keep it all original or replace parts?

    If it were me I'd keep the original one there but try and bring back the colour with retrobright. Would also need to get the original CRT working again, it even has a little Super Nintendo logo on it!

    That would be the same as completely replacing the bodywork on the car. So it wouldn't really be the same car anymore. sacrilege! :D

    Shouldn't have bought one that rusty then :)

    You'd have to change the case, at least while you waiting the 6 or 7 year it took retrobrite to clean the original one up.

    Well if we're replacing the case, we may as well completely get rid of the NTSC US horror show and put a PAL/Famicom type one on instead ;)

    I don't think swapping out the yellowed Snes in place of a non yellowed one would make it any less original for me. It was originally a minty white Snes in there, so no harm in replacing it.

    The stand is the cool thing here, not the Snes inside it :)

    Ah yeah, it's a personal thing really. For me it's 'original' if it's what was sitting on the floor in the display. If I replaced the snes then it wouldn't be original anymore and I'd know it was a different 'home' snes.

    It's incredibly stupid but that's just how my brain works for some reason. I'm still debating whether or not to swap out the original sticks in my cab. They work great, but new ones would work better. But then they wouldn't be original...

    It's the whole restoration versus leaving things as they are. The first time I can remember being appauled by it was when Bray town hall was restored. They took bricks out and either cleaned them or replaced them. When I was a kid it really upset me for some reason. I remember also experiencing a similar thing on shows where they were restoring castles/other historical sites. As soon as new masonry started going on my head began shaking.

    I see where your coming from alright. Our definitions are quite often irrational, sure look at me with the Mother 2 cart lark. Anyone else is perfectly happy emulating or using a flash cart, not me though :rolleyes:

    I'm pretty disappointed tbh.
    I mean, the opening price €150 was just that, an opening price.
    I was hoping someone with a love of the genre and with some money burning a hole in their pocket would dig deep and buy it, maybe around the €120 mark, but now, thank's to a certain ball-less numpty, the sale is somewhat spoiled.
    Not pleased, hoping the mods will do something, who knows?

    1) Report thread.
    2) Type in the offenders comments are not constructive to the thread & off topic
    3) Click the blacklist box in the report window, user is then blacklisted.
    4) Create duplicate thread, leaving original one open so the mods can take whatever action.
    5) Close original thread when said action is taken.

    Then change some details in the ad, change the price by €10 etc just to make it different. Are you dealing with Adverts direct or through here? Don't deal with them directly, I'd an issue there recently & the muppetry one of the 'mods' wrote back to me was utter nonsense. I posted in the boards/adverts helpdesk & the issue was sorted straight away

    Exactly, bundle it together one of the multiple copies of Streets of Rage that you have hid in the attic at nominal 1 cent extra.:p The add has been ruined because of that lad, in a case like that where you have asked to have comments removed, all comments whether quoting the troll or defending yourself should go too.The mods must be a bit flakey compared to those here on Boards.

    or is the famicom version worth significantly less than PAL?
