PMed!

I think its cool your using the VB to practice programing; even if it is in such a simplistic manor (more then I could do).

Just congrats on being the #1 poster. Very impressive how active in the community you are, and continue to be. We are all better off for this (game content and the continuous flow of info).

This is excellent. Time to dust off the VB Plus cart.

The thing one always must keep in mind with listings that include a “Best Offer” option, though, is that the seller himself might think that the listed price is ridiculous and that nobody will ever click the “Buy It Now” button, so he simply wants to hear out offers. Some sellers want an offer pretty close to their listed price, but others are willing to accept much, much less.

Well, I know for a fact that those “Best offers aren’t that cheep either. I drunkenly offered $500 one night instead of $50 and was met with immediate rejection on a similar unopened and graded game.

Don’t drink and bid. That’s how I ended up with 250 NES “Bible Adventure” cart stickers.

Wow, pretty cool stuff.

did you perhaps post the wrong link there?

i’m Selling him a Japanese CIB with sticker (on box) tear as part of a lot of 5 games for around $43. I am crazy.

you can Go to radio Shack and look at they’re Battery packs and holders. Check the springs in those and I’m sure you’ll find something comparable.

are you sre the bit is long enough? I think I got the same one and it was JUST to short for the deeper screws.

The fact is, no seller should ever be held responsible for the glitchy display problem. It is the result of a serious design flaw, for which Nintendo should be held responsible, since they decided to attach the cables to the display boards with glue, which could only last for so long. I don’t even bother trying to sell extra VB systems that I may happen to get for whatever reason. I just basically give them away and say, “hey, you may need to get this fixed down the road, because if there is no display problem now, there will be.”

Seee thats what I see. That frickin stinks for him, but sending tools and a CD, Thats just the wrongest message you could send with a system.

That’s like sending a a Vetrex out with earplugs.

Here is another fine Specimen. At first nothing seems wrong. Has all the parts, a few different games, A CD, some tools… wait…
So according to this auction, since the VB don’t travel so well he has included repair instructions on CD (probably from this site and ifixit) and the specialty bit to get her open (the bit that is too short to get the two screws to the left and right of the cart assembly.). I can only assume this is so every couple of days you can tear it down and put those dang ribbon cables in your oven! what a treat!
at least he has faith in the system.

So..atm:

Soonish (would GUESS a month or two..sooner ?):

(25) bound high – to restock the store
(25) space pinball – to restock the store
(25) faceball proto cib
(25) blox

Not soonish..but not in the super future (3-4 months ??? total freakin guess)

(50) english gundams
(75?) faceball: remastered (not done yet..levels are still being worked on)
more blox if it does well ?

-Eric

So, Any way to get on a Pre-order list for Gundam So I can make sure I get my hands on one? Same goes for Blox. Talk to you or Tusk?

Still Not completely sure on the whole Faceball shipping thing. Will we be getting them around the same time the Boxes will be available?

And Additionally, I have NO idea what the Faceball re-master is. Is it like, the real version only with additional levels?

Sorry to always be the guy who understands Nothing but… yeah.

The Suit is pretty Cool in person. I dig it.

But imagine using THIS to form the line-drawings:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/9ft-Red-Neon-Glowing-Strobing-Electroluminescent-Wire-El-wire-9-feets-/271099316574?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item3f1ec7495e

Some provision would have to be made for removing the EL wire for washing (velcro would lend itself well to the project); but I for one would love to see a shirt lighting up in say, a movie theater, or other dark place…

Keith Apicary (Nathan) DID use that stuff for his VB shirt. Hey… Is he on this site? I haven’t seen him since I lived in LA.

Wow, Just WOW. That is stupendous. I wonder if anyone from “Nigeria” has offered to buy it yet.

I’d be down for a repro of the Mario box so I could display one, But it’d have to be pretty cheep. Like, is $15 even feasible for you (if it was just the box, and we could find our own cart cardboard cart holder?)

So, Who Just scored that loose copy of Innsmouth no Yakata for $60? I was tempted, but I really want the box too.
