Niiiice! a bit of OCD is good for the soul

Actually, Logie, is there any chance we could have this thread stickied please? It would be nice to have at the top of the forum.

Very nice tallon! Saturn and MD are a bit dusty though :P

nowuckenfurries

Dug out some of the old PCB jamma collection today... deffinately not OCD

nowuckenfurries

YW Tallon, the unfortunate thing is that due to pending redindancy I'v had to put them up on Adverts.ie http://adverts.ie/211395

o1s1n

Sorry to hear that man

At 400 euro it's all a steal. If I were you I'd be looking for more.

nowuckenfurries

Cheers o1s1n, I know it is worth more, Bobble Bobble cost me 100.00 notes alone a few years ago, but bills must be paid hence the low price for a quick sale Anyway the Adverts mods would kill me if I raised the price now (not literally )

They wouldn't, if is mispriced they would let you do it, just drop them a PM

Hey Tallon, nice pink PSP!
Is that for your more sensitive, feminine moments? Playing dating sims and the like whilst waiting on your nail polish to dry?

More of a tip than look what I gots.

I've recently discovered that those plastic business card/playing card boxes are ideal for GB and GBA cart storage.

Really cool, where do you get them?

Atavan-Halen

I don't know actually :P My mam just had a few in work.

After having a quick google, I only found 1 site but they sell them in bulk packs of 150.

weeder

mate you have one of those things dedicated to pokemon, wtf

Atavan-Halen

Well erm in case you haven't noticed, I am partial to the odd spot of pokémon every now and again.

*Runs off to take pics of Pokéstuff*

One might suggest he has in fact 'caught them all'

CiDeRmAn

I didn't see a Pokemon Mini console there, not quite the Pokemon fan you claim, are you???
Unless you can't allow it to be photographed for religious reasons, or something.

I have the aforementioned little console and very nifty it is too, some rare stuff on it too, but very hard to find, coz it rare like, especially the Pokemon tetris game for it, hmmm, how I want it for mine!

Just reading through the thread and thought I'd throw up a few pictures of my brother's stuff.

He started getting in the old Retro collecting about a year and a half ago. He's about 80% through finishing this room to display/store stuff that he wants to collect and play.


His wife isn't overly happy.

Atavan-Halen

Wow, that is one of the most organised/neatest collections I've ever seen! Awesome!

o1s1n

Wow! that's absolutely amazing. If I were you I'd be living at your brothers house

Here's a pic of my games room to show you the current horror ..it's such a mess! Most of the games are stored away in that wardrobe too..and the rest is in my parents house. In stacks of those green Tesco crates.

Ah well, shouldn't be complaining, I'm lucky to have a room for all this stuff.

(Best Cher voice) If I could turn backkkkkkk time, I'd go back and ask the letting agency not to put that spare bed in the apartment!

I really must get some mint boxed megadrives, anybody got one going?

o1s1n

You can pick up that PAL asian one that KKV's brother has on ebay for cheap enough. I think there must have been a warehouse of them found. I see them all the time up there completely boxed and new.

CiDeRmAn

KKV, seems to be a certain amount of OCD in the cleanliness of that there gamesroom, he doesn't iron his socks and fold them away, colour coded does he?
Still, a fantastic room indeed, not the most stuff I've seen, but the best presented by far.

And o1s1n, that dinky little room is more my speed, at least everything is within easy reach!

Hey again guys,

Brother is obviously aware of this thread (and has just joined boards).

Regarding the boxed MegaDrive, he said he got it for around €30 (excluding P+P) from eBay. The guy he got it from said he could charge an extra €10 for additional packaging for it during transit, and it's worth paying.

Without the additional €10, the guy just sticks it in some parcel paper. Whilst it still arrives in good nick, I'd rather pay the extra €10 and get it in an actual box in perfect condition.


He's still collecting stuff and has a few more bits and bobs he wants to pick up (Neo Geo, NES, etc.) but wanted to say thanks an awful lot for the excellent comments and kind words about the collection.


Cheers guys!
