Agreed! I think I just liked the sound of "66" for such a creepy title . . . I stopped short of "66 and 66 cents" Price lowered! (Edit: Prices lowered across the board now, actually - - I've gotten some good feedback and made adjustments. GENESIS just isn't that collectible, sadly! Half the reason I am moving these on . . . ) -a2a

Very cool. The back-story for the listing is great as well! -a2a

Relevant (and amusing) - - Take from today's WONDERMARK.com, a fabulous webcomic -a2a

"Refurbished" or "rebuilt" might be safer terms? Might not work for you, as they are likely "watching," but that's a good heads up for those of us looking to sell modded systems on eBay. The word "mods" is unfortunately starting to get a negative connotation, such as modded XBOX 360 controllers and systems. Sorry, chief - - best of luck! Yurkie's systems are great - - I've really enjoyed mine - - and it should sell fast. I'd just post up here with pictures and details, and someone will no doubt snatch it up! -a2a

Nah, we need a new meme - - I like what you've started there with Mr. Spock as your avatar , so I propose that we . . . . . . on this thread! -a2a

Gamblers, all of us! Always hoping for the undiscovered treasure . . . I share the sentiment! Mmm, the tabletop LCD games are great . . . I had a GALAXIAN one as a kid that I fondly remember . . . it sadly did not make it out of that time period alive! -a2a

Heh, that's what I thought, too! I think he prefers "le gorille" - - poor misunderstood simian . . . (borrowed from AtariMania.com http://www.atarimani...-kong_7527.html) -a2a

$90 (U.S. shipped) - classic NINTENDO GAME AND WATCH - DONKEY KONG - FRENCH version I acquired this FRENCH version of this classic NINTENDO GAME AND WATCH unit when I was in Switzerland as a kid. It's DONKEY KONG as you know it, but some of the button labels are in French (Start button, Controls, etc.)! Overall, it is in "Good" condition - - no stains, issues with battery acid, or anything like that. I was a good collector of electronics, even as a kid! There are a few minor scratches on the metal, but hinges and latches are in perfect condition, and the screen is UNBLEMISHED and has no scratches! The LCD is in nice condition, with all of the characters visible. I just popped some fresh batteries in, and it works as well as it ever did! I will include the fresh batteries to the buyer, as well as the other battery that was in the three pack - - $13.00 of value there! Wonder why small batteries are always SO expensive . . . ? The excellent NintendoAge user and hand-held gaming unit collector "retrogamesuk" has provided me with some GREAT information on this particular hand-held DONKEY KONG piece, as well as a recommended price. Here's what he said - - "The Game & Watch you have would have been distributed by Jeux et Images du 21e siècle, which roughly translate as "Games and Pictures from the 21st century." On the boxes they have Ji 21 on them, they were a French company that imported them from Japan then were distributed under their own brand, though still retaining the Nintendo logos, trademarks and copyright info." Below, I'm showing the LCD in "test mode" that happens when you first insert the batteries, and all the LCD parts light up - - The unit returns to normal play mode once you press a button, and would only show again the next time that you change the batteries. (Sorry for the flash flare in this image, better pictures down below) Again, showing "batteries first-in test mode" with all characters illuminated PM me with any questions, comments or offers! Thanks for looking! -a2a

I have a lot of experience tearing down, modding, and repairing Dreamcast - - I'll take a crack at answering your question. I would hazard a guess that spindle cannot itself be repaired. Instead, what you would be doing is REPLACING the drive mechanism on the Sports model with a drive mechanism from a working unit. That replacement drive mechanism would have a working spindle. So, a base unit that you could grab a working drive mechanism from would be around $20. Maybe lower, if you can score one at a pawn shop or thrift store. HOWEVER there are several different types of Dreamcast drive mechanisms, and you would like to make sure you replace it with a similar one. Replacing it is straightforward one you have it, though. Honestly, I personally would skip the trade - - it doesn't seem worth it for all the trouble! -a2a

Sorry for the delayed responses - - Darn me for not subscribing to my own thread! @ nonameo - Sorry, no trade needs at this time, I am SO full and backlogged on games that I have hardly played that it's not even funny! @ AtariBrian - Thanks, chief! (And thanks for not pooing in the thread! ) I have kept this unit in good condition all these years. Eh, you would *think* it should be priced higher, especially with the Memory Pak included, but so the market goes. These sell all day on eBay for barely $20 more than this, plus shipping - - sometimes lower, depends on the day, condition, alignment of the planets . . . Maybe those are not as nice, and the seller might say something like "NO WAY TO TEST! MIGHT BE SENDING YOU BRICKS OR A BOX OF CAT POO INSTEAD!" -a2a

SOLD!

Ooo, nice, OSRG - - Your new avatar gets . . . BANE KITTY ! Oh, and BUMP, someone please buy AX's set! I need to cross-post this on NintendoAge, lots of new folks cropping up there, someone might need a starter set . . . -a2a

Yeah, fraud. Too complex. My rule of thumb - - if it doesn't SPECIFICALLY mention the item by name, AND in a different way then just verbatim repeating the post title, or a fragment of it . . . . . . It's fraud. State up front "if it's still up, it's available, and requests for 'is it still available' will be ignored" helps to weed out a lot, too Some classics "fishing lines" from this week due to a computer listing I put up - - > Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 00:29:57 +0100 > Subject: like new 32 GB DELL Mini 9 running OS X 10.6.8 - $260 (Golden) > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > ** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY > ** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home > ** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping > ** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams > > -- > Good day seller > Am Tony, am a computer engineer and dealer, i like to buy this > computer and would want you to give me reasonable and considerate > price so we can move further in the transaction. > Regards And, > Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 08:35:22 -0500 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: like new 32 GB DELL Mini 9 running OS X 10.6.8 - $260 (Golden) > > ** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY > ** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home > ** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping > ** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams > > Hello > > > Please, I want to buy this item, hope that you still have it ??

Avast, have at ye', and back to tha' top with ya' ! Yarrr! Cleaned up thread, added FRENCH Donkey Kong Game and Watch, and a few other bits of pirate booty to tha' TREASURE CHEST . . . -a2a

I just want to share the moment with you all . . . no need for the extra paraphernalia . . . So, yeah - - no box / manual needed for me. LOVE the effort, though - - this is great, the ancient, virtually unreleased software being found and shared among the community for our enjoyment . . . keep it rolling! If you want to make a manual and crafty instructions, please do! (NOTE: atari2atari's comments may be adulterated by the presence of the ancient Scottish beverage "scotch," and may not represent reality or anything defensible in the court of law . . . ) -a2a

After a long summer, I've been re-activated - - it's like the Bourne Supremacy . . . err, only with video games, instead. And less punching. NEW games, NEW prices, and a cleaned thread! Do send me a PM - - I miss you! -atari2atari

No, not a minority (I hope!) - - I, too would like to see the same exact label. This will be a fun piece to have around when friends who know about ATARI game rarity are in my game room, and catch sight of that now-iconic label! They will do a double-take, and then see the small print at the bottom that says "REPRODUCTION 2012" ! -a2a

I appreciate your comment and recommendation of the acekard the other day for my "new" DS, wolfpaw - - if I hadn't already jumped on the Supercard DSTWO (http://www.realhotstuff.hk/Supercard-DSTWO_p_25.html), I'd be all over this! Good luck, I'm sure it will sell quickly! -a2a

EDIT: Removed my previous blather . . . Y'know, if I would just READ the title of posts, I would get further in life! $100-$150 for a sealed copy is a good deal! Good luck with the sale!

Thanks for doing this - - that's really kind of you! Any details on what the label will look like? Will it essentially be an exact reproduction? (Of course, with a "REPRODUCTION 2012" or something similar printed somewhere on it!) -atari2atari EDIT: Payment sent, much thanks for being willing to "share your toys!"

!

Wow, stellar deal, and a great idea for cleaning up my own "loose manuals and things" box! I might have to set up a lot like this, myself . . . Lotsa goodies in there - - someone grab this! -a2a
