The framed display looks fantastic.

Insane find. Congrats!

Thanks guys. Dutch, I like your idea, and I also like the way the Classic Serie looks... Anyone have one up for trade?

That's exactly what I plan to do when I acquire the test cart. Only I'm putting my sealed copy in there. Not sure if yours is sealed or not.

Nope just an empty nice-grade box. I was toying with the idea of taking a crapped-up gold one, hair-dryering the label off to keep it nice, and removing the paint to have a "black cart" inside there too, if I can't get the Classic Serie then it might be worth the time.

I have a few old tricks for removing paint from plastic from my Warhammer days...

Super Awesome Find Dan, Very very nice. you got an incredible deal. Frames set up looks great too....congrats

The classic serie cart is black??

nope I just wanted something significantly different than the other three carts to replace the tips/map sheet, and even though the Pal carts have slightly different labels, they're just not significant enough for me to want to put them in. The Classic Serie is a grey cart, it's just got the gold Mario seal...aw hell here's a link The shield/crest is significantly smaller on this than any other Zelda, so it stands apart, especially when viewed next to the USA -1 grey which has a larger logo than the gold/yellow labels.

Oh, I see. The test cart isn't enough for you. You have to invent your own carts now!

Bastard.

Yo,

That zelda is an amazing score congrats! ,the rest aswell love the sealed snow :-)

And i agree with zdan80 those people must have had shit in there eyes! lol

Peace

Thanks One, and welcome to the boards! I think one of the things that worked to my advantage was that the seller required immediate payment, so if any of the first seven viewers didn't have Paypal, or were just slower than I was at completing the transaction, they could have gotten to the "Pay" button too late.

Also, I think a lot of early pageviews on eBay (correct me if I'm wrong, gurus) are sentinel bots that some users have active to auto-browse auctions for specific keywords (Stadium Events, for instance). So it could be that no human eyes were set upon it. I've noticed pageviews almost immediately on even the dumbest items that I list, it can't be noobs hounding new BINs and seeing what comes with that copy of Excitebike I just listed, or whatever. Not every time?

I was most worried that someone would have just missed scoring it, and would poach it. All it would have taken was a PM: "I'll give you $100 if you don't sell it to me instead of dangevin" and that would have been that.

There's more than just the luck of finding it that came into play here, for sure.

Well, all that matters is that you got it :-)

After about 24 hours in a chemical bath, some serious hair-dryer-label-removing action and a little Krazy Glue Fu, I now own a Black LOZ as well. The diarrhea is complete. Diorama. The diorama is complete.

That looks great.. Nice job

All that work to make a black cart and your manual is wrinkly. Tsk tsk.

That is kinda creepy looking...You could have just used a famibox cart as a donor though

This just came in the mail today, apparently he had bought Conan from me and I didn't realize who it was So I'm pleased to announce that I have "inside knowledge" on the next game to be roasted!







This print is pretty sweet, if you can't tell in relation to the filing cabinet, it's a full 1/2 page (8.5 x 5.5) and features Wally Bear, Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde and many other roasted game licenses. Personally signed in sharpie. I feel quite honored Will be seeking a frame of course, this is gonna be great on the game shelf.

A little free advertising for him for being so nice: His DVD is out now for those who don't know, at http://screwattack.com/merch.html... - check on it!

Wow, that's really cool. I like AVGN even if I disagree with him a lot. I do dislike all his copycats though.

That is a SWEET poster, but I think AVGN is a one trick pony. He says the same shit about every game.

I don't like him very much at all, but it is a neat pop culture item. It might actually be worth a few bucks in a few years cause he is so well known. What is his ebay s/n?
~~NGD

Yeah I agree Jason. Never really liked his shtick, but that's a pretty cool thing to do for selling him a game. Just sucks that he's gonna roast ANOTHER of my favorites

lol Yes Mike, I immediately thought of you, BTW when I realized what he was going to do

s/n= recklessdisaster http://myworld.ebay.com/recklessd...

Don't expect a lot of action when you view the profile though

Sweet print, I've always enjoyed him ripping on games and everything else

Well, ask him not to resort to cursing left and right...if he roasts it for it's ACTUAL flaws, it's not that bad.  If he's just using foul language for cheap laughs like some of his "reviews," then I'm gonna be pissed

we'll see if he communicates at all, I messaged him to thank him and invite him to drop by here and haven't gotten anything back yet.
