    First off question?

     

    If label was damaged to prove cart was authentic would that still add value overall or take away value?

     

    Secondly if label is damaged and cart is not real, well you are not really out anything now are you lol.

     

    Thirdly. If proper measures are taken and someone who knows what they are doing looks at this cart, that label can be removed w/out damage and replaced after board has been looked at.

     

    I made undo do wonders recently on a dw3 cart. I'm sure there are methods out there than can look at this cart w/out damaging it.

    It's kind of like gambling....don't go broke.

     

    Me I'm a different breed of collector. I'm a pure reseller/trade collector. Meaning I scour craigslist, yardsales, thriftstores and buy anything and everything that is a steal.

     

    I then keep what I want and sell off the rest to break even or make a profit. Sometimes I'll sell it all and recoup what I have in it and then take the leftover $$ and by something nice with it.

     

    This is really the best way to do it. Then again you constantly have to be selling and getting that $$ back. Another tactic I use is I sell all the high value items and then weed out the systems and commons and trade them for credit at my gamestore. I then get rare titles or new stuff w/that credit.

     

    In the end all I have invested is time and sometimes I make a little $$ in the process.

    You gotta think outside the box w/them cards. I had the same problem about 30,000 cards mainly 90's. I couldn't get $50 for them. I posted a barter add on craigslist for video games. I managed to get about $300 worth of games/systems including a 3do and a jaguar for them.

     

    I did the same w/pokemon cards I took a chance on for $20 at salvation army. Traded them for a bunch of ps1 games including tomba 1 and 2 complete.

    Yea, I don't trust them for nothing. I got lucky here. If that box would have been flipped the other way, the box would most likely be damaged right now. Luckily you had the bubble wrap folded over on top and had the extra piece on top where box was crushed. In that pic the megaman was sitting on the bottom of that box w/3-4 layers of bubble wrap on top, where as the bottom only had the 1 layer.

     

    It's all good, just felt like blowing the PO in again on their crappy job.

    Another trick: On the horrid NES game Kid Kool, on level 1-3, you can get 10 lives at a time (then go kill yourself and start over). Run & jump off the ledge and land right on the springy pole. You'll be catapulted up. Hook back so you land straight back down on the pole again. You will earn 1-ups. Keep doing it until you can't receive 1ups anymore, then die and repeat.

     

     

    Dude you seriously stole my game hint. I'm obsessed w/kid kool. Another trick is on like mid-lever 3 or 4 or something there is a spot where you run fast and get a min. down, then to the right there is water. Fall down and drownd and respawn back up top and keep getting the minute downs until you are back to start. You waste 20 lives or so but if you grabbed 99 lives from the pole it's worth it.

    I would suggest the easiest thing first is simpley blowing out the connector that the genesis slides up into. Take a q-tip w/alcohol and rub it inside there or spray some compressed air. If you have deoxit spray it in.

     

    I got a sega cd in a few months back and it didn't seem to work, wouldn't power on or anything. After I blew out the side connector it came on and started working perfectly.

    I have a few gamecubes but don'y want to split up the powers and controller. I have a few games for it like luigis mansion, mario kart, metal gear (only 1 disc:the playable one) and a few others. Mainly looking to sell right now.

    "transfer the action directly to a television set or monitor, via HDMI or A/V out, for a true arcade experience right at home."

     

    Well as far as the talk goes about how the pictures will look on a bigscreen. I'd say it better not be stretched pixelated crap, because that would NOT be a true arcade experience.

     

    If this is going to be a pure dlc console I'm not even slightly interested. I don't do downloads. If it doesn't come on a cart or cd in a box, then I don't want it.

     

    I think they should have invested their $$ in making a new system that would be backwards compatible to AES carts. Trying to sell roms is not good business. They will learn. I for one don't pay for roms, thats just me.
