God…I just hope to get one full set some day!

It doesn't mean the items will sell for higher…wait and see…

You gotta hustle and flow baby…hustle and flow….

It might work…it also might just be an NTSC cartridge with some corrosion issues. You could try cleaning it with something a bit more abrasive…like a pencil eraser. That might fix it, if it is a corrosion issue.

PM sent!

When you say "fast scroll", do you mean that the screen is "rolling"? If so, you might have yourself a PAL cart on your hands. In that case, it wouldn't be broken, per se. Rather, it just won't work properly on NTSC machines/TV's due to a difference in scan-lines.

I didn't get a PM back yet, but you can have both the Street Fighter games…I am interested in the others though.

PM Sent!

Naah…I think that was Kevin DuBrow fro Quiet Riot. Back from the dead to hang out with a bunch of retro-gamers in Cleveland.

That's hilarious! If he meant it, I think he chose the wrong business/hobby to get involved in. His head is probably going to explode by the end of the week, when he sees at least one copy of this up for sale with a $1000 BIN…it's bound to happen.

Nice try, but I tend to post my own pics. Also, that's waaaaaay too good to be mine! Hahaha!

…what were you saying again?

We are also not declared "insolvent" because most other nations know that we are one of the largest consumers of their goods. If we were to collapse, China would loose a massive chunk of their customer base for hard/soft goods. Other nations trade heavily with us in fossil fuels and other natural resources. We are an insolvent cash cow…a necessary evil, for lack of a better term. Not that I consider the US to be evil in any way…just that we are a major financial risk, but other nations have no choice but to deal with us in the way of commerce. If we collapse, many others would not be far behind…many, many others. Their own economies are far too interwoven with US trade.

Bea Arthur's cousin tried to sell some Bacon to Voltron via Amazon. Voltron didn't receive the package, and hilarity ensued. From what I heard, William Shatner had intercepted the package, only to be caught eating the Bacon by Hello Kitty. In the end, Knight Rider swooped in and saved the day. The end.

Your posts were both enlightening and well put. Thank you for sharing. IMHO, it is always good to hear this type of stuff from other people…it tells me that I am not the only one concerned about it. These days, if you watch the news or read the papers, no one really seems too worried. I guess that is how they manage to keep us all calm. That said…in before the lock. You can always PM me if you want to continue the dialogue. I am up for it…it's an interesting conversation.

Or, eliminate the need for districts at all. Why would districts even matter if it were just the popular vote that counted? Everyone gets one vote, and the highest number wins. To me, when you make something as complicated as the voting process is here in the US, it only makes it easier to hide the truth. Just look at the tax code…it's so easy for the govt. to rip us common-folk off, when the tax code is basically an unreadable, unintelligible mess.

Oh..and I forgot…#5.) MAKE THE POPULAR VOTE ACTUALLY COUNT!!!!! Our vote, the citizens of the United States, should be the only vote that matters. The whole idea of an electoral college makes very little sense to me. I have had it explained to me countless times, but I still can't seem to figure out why the popular vote is not the final say???

That, or simply do the following: 1.) eliminate campaign donations from lobbyists, special interest groups and corporations. 2.) Institute serious campaign finance reform, to the tune of a very low and even dollar amount across all candidates. 3.) set clear, reasonable salary caps for all publicly elected officials. (public servants should not be earning millions of dollars) 4.) remove all "quid pro quo" opportunities for large financial gains in post-politics life. This would level the playing field at election time, and remove the temptation to trade political chips in exchange for personal wealth. In the end, the candidates would actually have to campaign based on their own personal beliefs…not those of the corporations and lobbyists. Candidates also would consist of people who actually wanted to make positive changes. I know…very "pie in the sky", but I figure…as long as we are dreaming, we might as well dream big!!!

With regards to politics, I stand firm by my beliefs: Behind every politician lies (pun intended) a man or woman who is mostly (if not entirely) driven by the desire to satisfy their own personal needs. These "needs" primarily include (but are not limited to) monetary gains and the satisfaction/inflation of their own egos. Party lines are simply a means to an end for "like minded" groups of these power-players, in which they form a very limited partnership to help advance their own needs. We, are simply pawns in their twisted game. In the end, the benefits which they see are far beyond the average American's comprehension, and all of the platforms on which they stand, tend to serve as fodder for the common folk to bicker about…as if any of it actually really matters.

yep…banks and: Insurance companies Mortgage lenders Pharma companies Big Box Retailers …and the list goes on and on and on and on. Don't even get me started when it comes to politicians. Special interest groups and corporations basically own our government these days. Then, when the elected official's term(s) in office is over, they get to look forward to high paying consultant gigs and speaking circuits…all arranged by the people who "funded" their campaigns over the years. Gotta love it!

Reebok has developed its own bacon products to CrossFit community http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/07/25/reebok-has-developed-its-own-bacon-products/?intcmp=obnetwork

It comes down to volume sales…basically, a seller on Amazon is selling to a very large audience. With a shady seller, they can bank on this: For every person like you, who files a complaint and gets a full refund, I would imagine there are dozens who don't. Either it is too much of a pain in the ass, or they just don't fully understand the buyer protection they are afforded. Same nonsense goes on with eBay as well. They can only get away with it for so long, but then the shady seller just switches to one of their accounts that has not gotten banned yet. Either way, the seller gets away with it far more often than not…making the practice financially justifiable, albeit morally bankrupt.

That thing looks like a complicated postal scale!
