LOL,yeah I was in too much shock to do much other than just stare in shock!   Fortunately I don`t collect sealed games (and it wasn`t priced like an expensive sealed game) so I wasn`t too pissed.  Still though - it kind of hurt ;D!

Today I picked up a copy of Pacar for my SG-1000 II.

When I picked it off the shelf at the store, it was still sealed in its original box and packaging.  Then something surprising happened:

I felt my eyes literally bug out my skull! Glad you kept your cool, probably too much in a state of shock I presume. Honestly, I think I would have done the same. Maybe.

Got this in the mail from Manuel today!



Wasn't expecting it to be CIB, but I'm not complaining. I love Japanese GB boxes. ;D

I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

Nice that you liked the "surprise".  :D

Bought a slightly beat up orange Torchic GBA SP shell/housing to replace my original shell with. Torchic GBA SP's sell for hundreds boxed and about $125 loose. I paid $34.99 for the housing; and $1.99 for a tri-wing screwdriver, so in the end the total conversion of my GBA SP which I bought last month for like $30 is around $70 after taxes and shipping.

That's a $55 savings buying a busted Torchic model and just converting a plain common GBA SP.

Virtual Boy.  Complete in its original box with the manual and everything.  Works great.  Guess how much I paid for it!

Found an Oil Panic Game & Watch at the goodwill store 3 days ago. It looks good on the outside and the inside but the battery cover is missing. Still haven't bought batteries to see if it works. Cost me about 4$.

WOW! Senseiman, you lucky bastard!  :D

senseiman

Yeah, Kiddo, I am a lucky bastard ;D

Nice find with Oil Panic too there.  4$ for that is a steal!

I don't like the Virtual Boy at all, but for that price even I would pick it up. Hell of a find!

Yeah, a bargain is a bargain even if you can`t stand the thing!  ;D  I`m growing quite fond of it though.
