Thanks for the info, Austin. I thought maybe the cable was the most expensive part of the MPTS, so I was worried I might've overpaid. I looked at a couple auctions and saw some unboxed keyboards (with no accessories) go for a bit more than I paid, so I think you're right. Sort of silly either way, as it's honestly going to sit in its box forever (or at least until I get a bigger house!), but again, it was just too uncommon for me to pass up.

I might break down and build that cable just for fun. I mean, how many people out there can say that they've actually played their Miracle Piano cartridge?

You're welcome. Personally, I haven't actually played my Miracle Piano set. By the way, What are the ratings of the power box for it? Since mine was missing all the cables I never turned it on. I'd like to get a power box/cable so I can finally test mine.

12 volts AC at 1 amp. Luckily, a fairly common power rating and barrel size.

New additions horray!

Found a Japanese Playstation Model SCPH-5000 NTSC J for $12.99 today at a thrift store.
Bought Metal Slug 4 (JAP) for PS2 online for $4.80 total.

Shoulda been in my last finds posts, but they missed the boat somehow:
2x starfire guns (1 has rubber buttons torn off) - 0.25
1x Guncon 2 - 0.50
Capcom vs. SNK 2 (case/manual only) - 0.50
Time Crisis 3 (CIB) - 1.00

Couple days ago I picked up some things at thrifts:
Wavebird (plat., no dongle) - 2.45
TI-82 calculator - 1.80
N64 Duck Dodgers - 2.99
N64 Charlie Blast Territory - 2.99
N64 Mario Tennis - 3.99
---nice to get a couple rarish N64 games, even if they aren't in any demand at all.

NES SMB and SMB3 - 1.80 ea. (need these for bundles... I used to have too many SMB & SMB/DH, but somehow they've whittled away and now I have more systems than SMB carts).

From Amazon I got Zelda: Spirit Tracks for 18.00. I needed filler for something else to get free shipping. This was overkill for that purpose, but a game I'd been looking to get and one I don't mind buying new.

I think I have one but is that box like thing on the bottom left something you use to magnify the screen of the game gear?

Picked up the following at a Flea Market:



Then after going through the Gameboy case pockets, I found all the game instructions, posters and system manuals for the 2 Gameboys!

Been awhile since I've posted, but Half Price Books has a Memorial Weekend sale - 20% off everything! So if you have a HPB locally go check out the sale that goes Thursday through Monday. I picked up these:

Oh hell yes! There's 3 in my area. Time for a little road trip.

Some of these finds are amazing. Wish my craig's list had HALF of what you guys find.

Worst. Photoshop. Ever.

Worst. Photoshop. Ever.

I know, it was meant to be fake. Just taking a dig at a certain poster....

Ah. I see.

Best. Purchase. Ever.

[Flashback2012]

I picked up a fixed copy of SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters DS. I totally forgot about sending in my bugged copy to Playmore for a replacement a few years ago. I'd say I would play this game but I did try out my original purchase copy when it first came out and couldn't get into it (whereas I couldn't stop playing the NGPC versions).

If anyone wants to see pics of the two carts, let me know and I'll snap shots of them (and hopefully learn how to resize the images on photobucket ).

Checked out a Goodwill during a work break. Just one minute after I got into the store, I looked out a window and saw that it was hailing. This was followed by about 10 minutes of heavy rain. Glad I dodged that. When the rain died down, I left the store with a PS1 game:

Breath of Fire III - $4.99

The manual is missing, but everything else is in good shape.

I also bought a trio of cheesy horror flicks at a Big Lots. If you're interested, you can see what I got here.

The ramblings of a giant douchebag.

The ramblings of a giant douchebag.

Can't you just shut up? It'd make this thread a lot easier to read for other peoples finds if you did.

Thanks!
