Hoskat ^^^ hehe, don't judge a book by its cover, lol! my fiance (wife in a month and a half) doesn't exactly approve of all my collecting of video games. she likes playing snes games so i know how to find her soft spot when it comes to playing games, but with me and collecting nes, she only approves because it was a grandfathered in sort of thing - i have been collecting long before i knew her, so she accepts it on that level, but she sometimes doesn't understand why people like us collect material things so habitually. as for finances, this shits expensive no doubt - i had to sell a lot of my stuff to compensate my nes collecting surge. i sold my entire card collection in the past 6 months (i used to collect garbage pail kids, sketch cards, and now it's all gone!!) and i'm glad you enjoy the thread, it's always good to add my contribution to entertaining NES folks. ;d

 

BuckNutty ^^ I got the sign. The guy was super awesome. I was expecting a young guy in this 20's or 30's, but this was a retired gentleman. He let me in his house and he had a Donkey Kong and Pac-Man arcade game, a Williams pinball machine (forgot title), a cocktail Spaced Invaders, and then he had a boatload of NES stuff he had saved from his children's childhood. He didn't just sell me the sign, he literally let me go through all his stuff. He gave me his e-mail and we're going to work out a deal in the future for some of the NES games. As for the cart, nope, I didn't even contact the seller. He seems a bit cocky in his listing, but needless to say, it's a very cool item. I want it but I don't have the space for it. The kicker for me is that it looks mint. It's in Akron if i'm not mistaken - what part of Ohio are you? I'm Cleveland eastside.

 

Brian! LOL, you are right, I am being lazy and that's exactly how I have felt. Here's today's items. A newer seller on eBay named kevincbr970rr sold me these. 100% mint. I want to buy more from this guy if he ever has anything else. I seldom get to receive an item listed as "near mint" that shows up wrapped to perfection and is solid. If you're a member here on NA, I want to commend you, whoever you are!!



Other than this, I haven't really gotten many NES items recently. It's because I had to slow down due to finances but also because I need only a select # of things and am having trouble finding them at the moment. I do have a package upcoming from Make Lot Not War and also from one of my "secret sellers", but it's mostly stuff I already have, just upgraded boxes. Will post pics when received.
