  1. Yes it is a female end. Thanks for the help identifying that.
  2. okay here are a few pics from my $100 Oakland CL purchase: Atari 5200 games: 31 total (a few duplicates). The unidentified game is Ballblazer Atari 2600 games: 84 total (a few duplicates) - and of course the obligatory Parker Brothers mystery cart Accessories: two out of the three 5200 controllers are bent (the metal piece inside the hand grip). I do not know what the large power supply is CO-70091-011. Consoles: The battery compartment is stuck on the C-380 UPDATE: all three 2600 consoles tested and work, nothing seems broken - just a bit dusty.
  3. This yard sale had tubs and tubs of gaming stuff, most at decent prices but some things were too pricey (at least for me). He did not seem to know much about pre-1985 items (he said he was born in 1987). The main reason I stopped was because i saw a tub full of loose N64 carts and loose NES games. I did not buy any NES games (they were all very common $2 or $3 games) but I scored a ton of N64 games for about $2 each. He had a lot of rare complete games but I simply ran out of money. I literally could have spent probably $500 and still not purchased all of his garage. He had SMS, SNES, Sega CD, Saturn, GameCube, PS2, etc. Anyway the N64 games led me to asking about "retro" gaming and I ended up with some tubs and boxes which led to other items ... Some of it is good, some is pretty chewed up but he was wheelin' and dealin' to get stuff gone.
  4. Graceland is one of those CD's that I can listen to over and over. Good album, such a diverse collection of musical styles.
  5. fate tempted ... and defeated. I met the guy and he was right on time. It was in Oakland right by Berkeley so the "nice" part of Oakland LOL Anyway he was a very nice guy and everything was in as described condition. I will post a pic later. The best part - he is originally from Bakersfield and so am I. We grew up around the same neighborhood but went to different high schools - but we knew some of the same people and some of the same old hangouts like Peter Piper Pizza. We hung out for a minute and talked about Bakersfield and Atari, etc. Great experience. The traffic was horrible. Then I scored a huge yard sale deal on the way home, probably the best lot purchase I have ever made at one yard sale. Needless to say i spent about $200 but I will be able to keep some stuff and sell some stuff to recoup my costs. I will post pics later as well.
  6. I may be scoring a nice Atari lot tomorrow for $100 - about (85) loose 2600 and (30) loose 5200 carts plus three 5200 controllers, a 2600 controller, an Atari pong game, one 4-switch 2600 and two light sixers (all are reported to work and appear to be in good condition). Most of the carts seem to be in good shape with some end labels missing. I think it will have mr do's castle, zone ranger and miner 2049er for the 5200. Looks like a lot of imagic carts for the 2600. Anyway, hopefully it will work out, we have agreed to meet at McDonald's in the morning. The CL ad was only 4 days old so it may be legit - and I have not come across it recently.
  7. found a near mint pink GBA AGS-101 today for $10. the screen is beautiful and scratch free. works like a dream. nothing as beautiful as the one Jin just sold ... but for $10 I will not be picky. I need to get an everdrive cart for it. I also found yoshi's island DS and super smash bros 3DS for $2 each, both complete. nice to find a few good items at good prices still out in the wild.
  8. Yeah it's definitely seen better days! Friday bump before this stuff heads off to ebay - see first post Sunday @ 1843 hrs well it's (sadly) off to the bay for these items
  9. Today I saw a homeless man in a black tuxedo coat and a frilly skirt. He looked happy - or high, one of the two.

  16. What a week - started off the week with my 17th wedding anniversary, then my 16 year old cat almost died, followed by both of my german shepherd puppies contracting parvo, then a 380 man riot at work, and finally my commuter car died and needs a new engine. I'm ready for this week!

      Man, and I thought spending two hours trying to get a retaining clip on a plumbing fixture was bad.

      My cat is doing okay now, she is still a little sick but has resumed pretty normal routine. Both puppies being treated - One puppy is doing great while the other is not.
