The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

So much for a chill out weekend.
Just down the country and called to a guys house who had a few retro bits to sell. I've now got one of my famous suitcase loads of retro goodness to bring up to Dublin tonight

Pics later or maybe tomorrow. It's mostly C64 games, boxed N64 games and a few other bits.

Where was it? Did a good few hours of driving myself today but sadly I'm not coming home with a suitcase of general retro.

I was down visiting the family outside of Athy and got wind of a guy who I should meet a few miles away who has some retro gear to clear out.

Quick preview of the stuff. There is actually an Amiga 500 plus under that lot as well as a SNES and other stuff. Not sure if they're working or not but they were included for free so no harm.

Click for biggie


There's also a bunch of stuff in plastic bags not pictured.

Edit:
I'm just going through this lot now. There's 77 C64 games of which 74 are boxed with inlay etc.
Few nice C64 games in this bunch actually.

Here's a few pics of today's haul. I didn't take a pic of everything but this is the main stuff. Everything needs a really good clean as this stuff has been up in an attic for ages.

Click the pics for much bigger versions

The main stuff including mint boxed GBC(really mint this is), the A500 plus, mint condition Psion Series 5(box is a little worn and I already have one of these but it was so cheap I had to have it), some Amiga games that are all CIB and mostly in good condition. And some other bits and pieces in there as well.


Amiga Games:


C64 1:


C64 2:


C64 3:


C64 4:


C64 5:


Some really nice games in this C64 batch and a few I've really been after for a while for my collection like "Tau Ceti", "Uridium", "Thunder Blade" and "Cabal".


N64 (all CIB, some boxes need a little work to clean and fix then up a bit but all the carts are mint):


And that's the bulk of it. There's also loads of boring cables and power supplies and some other stuff but i think that's enough pics for this particular retro haul.

Steve SI, do you always keep an empty suitcase in the back of your car just in case you hear of retro goodies?:)

Well, for one I wasn't driving so all that retro goodness came back with me on the train to Dublin and bus to Shankill (it was damn heavy as I also brought an old luggable Amstrad 386 "laptop" home with)
As for the suitcase, I always have one or two of them in the parents house just in case I need to move some stuff around when I'm in the area.

It wasn't the most relaxing trip home with all that stuff but all those years of doing weights helped, but unfortunately the more recent years of eating pies did not

Picked up a second Xbox 360 for the RGH but it turned out to have a really old dash so it's getting jtagg'ed instead!

Also finally won a Sega Mega CD in box at a good price. Does anyone else feel bad after a successful ebay snipe

Well heres what arrived this week for me



Hes in really good condition, no cuffs and a bit of peeling on the hands but for the price i got it for I'm more than happy

plus these



Kinda getting into trading cards lately, some of them are really fantastic

Phone pics aswell so sorry about that

These arrived in the post earlier.
I've been looking for a nice condition copy of Jetstrike CD32 for a long time and I got this one at a decent price.
The seller also had the other games and they were unused so I said I'd have then as well as the prices were cheap and the postage was more or less the same for 1 or 4 items.
The discs are all unused and in mint condition except for Jetstrike which is used and near mint.

Just paid for a book, 4 days after I buyed it now, and I'm very excited. It's Game of Thrones in hardback and it's the UK edition. If it turns out to be a first edition, first printing I might leak and then I'll probably Reek!
Having insane luck with first edition books lately, as I hit two other low run books in first edition and mint for a fraction of the price. One was even signed by the author! Blade Itself and Quantum Thief if anyone is interested.

Oh yeah and I'm waiting on two games as well. Tales of Symphonia and Outrun.
