    Gameboy Micro - Limited Famicom edition

    The edges are a bit worn due to use (Explains why it was a fraction of the cost they usually go for)

    Gonna try and fix her up once she arrives.

    Nice, picked one up brand new and sealed in a gamestop in the middle of nowhere in the states during the summer, best part of the trip! Had been sitting there ignored for years.

    "New" (see other thread) steering wheel and 3 DC games - Space Channel 5 and Ecco are sealed, but you can betcha I'll be opening them this weekend (although I also just took delivery of MW2 so might go for a bit of non-retro for a few days)

    Would you not sell Space Channel 5 and Ecco on ebay as sealed games and then rebuy them? I'm sure there's a Dreamcast sealed game collector out there who'll give you a decent price on them.

    You think? I've actually got quite a few sealed games (inc my pride and joy, a sealed REZ, mmmm), but I've always wondered if they're actually factory sealed or just really well done home-made versions :)

    I had gotten Jet Set Radio from eBay which was sealed and I was sure it was done later on by somebody else to increase the value, it was only about a tenner mind. I did get a Typing of the Dead recently which was an original seal, it even had DC product registration flyer still inside and was mint.

    Got Silpheed and Soul Star for the Sega Mega CD today. Just the discs, no original case, but don't mind at all.

    Boxed or unboxed? I have extra copies of most of those games in one form or another!

    2 unboxed spare copies of Mega games 2, 3 unboxed Sonic 1's a boxed Sonic 1 and an extra copy of Starwing.

    God damn it I need to start selling my doubles! :pac:

    Been holding out for the trading forum but I might just give in and stick some up on adverts. But ..ack..the allure of trading sounds more fun.

    All boxed, Sonic and Desert strike also included manuals. The Desert Strike box was EA Classics branded. Building up a nice Mega Drive collection now, considering I only started it a few weeks ago.

    Actually Starwing isn't boxed, don't bother looking for Nintendo boxes as they are only cardboard.

    I'd be up for trading some stuff too. I have quite a bit of DC stuff thats duplicated or orphaned, some GameGear stuff I haven't quite decided on yet, and a solitary SMS Teddy Boy that I don't know whether it works or not, as I never had a SMS.

    Any reasons why there couldn't be trading?

    Actually, I'd take it to the trading request thread in the forums forum. Good to keep her alive and going.

    Scart f to f adapter (For my Mega Super Gun project..going to allow me to put a female scart connection on the Megadrive shell)
    GBA flash cart & charger for the GBA micro.

    Bought this today - (Note, this isn't me in the video, it's the ebay seller ;))

    He has two for sale. One was a normal auction, the other had a buy it now of 150 sterling attached to it. I checked this morning and the buy it now one had been sold :O
    So I thought all hope was lost for me on this one. Apparently not. Got it for half the price the other person paid. yay!

    nice! I got a boxed R7 Dreamcast (JPN) off adverts a month or two ago for 50euro, well worth it in my opinion. Would love one of the classic white ones though. Still looking for an American Dreamcast too

    Got a keyboard to Gameboy adapter (Home made in a 4 port gameboy hub, looks cool!) & Gameboy Transferer II for LSDJ. The latter was suprisingly hard to track down for a good price. Ended up getting it from the states.
