Well, you could switch to using a beige model (*runs for cover*).

I assume, since you highlighted the number of systems, that that's what you're asking about. It's not ~200 different systems. The collection spans about 50 systems and, yes, that includes several 8-bit (and a few 16-bit) computers. The quantity comes from duplicates. I've got 15 or so 2600's, 9 5200's, a dozen Intellivisions, about 25 Commodore 64s if you include all the different models (64,64C,SX64,128,128D), etc. It adds up.

Requesting permission to edit post #4 in the topic below. I probably shouldn't have mentioned any dollar figures, even as approximations.

Seller's remorse won't be an issue as I've been getting rid of stuff locally thru CL and garage sales for some time now, and have had no regrets. It isn't the fees that make eBay unattractive, though charging fees on shipping is unforgivable. It's thier cavalier attitude about buyer fraud and counterfeiting that makes me refuse to deal with them. I'm not trying to get top dollar, but if I got 60-70% of average eBay pricing, I'd be satisfied and given the sheer quantity of stuff, the buyer could reap a high 5 or low 6 figure profit should they choose to part it out.

I'm giving serious consideration to selling almost all of my collection. 10000+ games, another 8000 or so spares, a couple 100 systems, boxes & boxes of accessories, etc. I'd probably keep a handful of items but not many. Don't want to go the ebay route or deal with shipping it and not interested in having someone cherry pick the best. Any suggestions? I tried contacting some of the local people who run 'wanted-games' ads on craigslist but they want to pay 10 cents on the dollar. A local game store offered to give me a quote but only if I brought the collection into their store. No, sorry, not going to load up 2 U-hauls full of gear just because you don't want to travel 10 miles.

Got mine too. Nice!

Hooray! Now there's two of us running machines with a blazing 625 kHz clock speed!

Commodore didn't manufacture the 1701/1702 monitors that bear their name: JVC did. Also, the original TI-99/4 (1979) came with a TI-branded (manufactured by Zenith) monitor and they offered another model to go with the 4A.

The Amazon Prime app on WiiU was actually pretty nice as it made decent use of the dual screens: movie on the big screen and IMDB related content (actor bios, episode trivia, etc) on the tablet.

And I just got a notice from Amazon that they won't support the WiiU as of Sept 26, so it's a good thing I bought that Roku.

Per Bil Herd, the epoxied PSU was a safety feature intended to prevent the units from catching fire. It wasn't for any sort of proprietary reason. Still a bad idea, though.

PM sent for 1 full set.

Here's one. It's a topic I follow if that matters.

Is the index still rebuilding? I notice that some threads I've posted in still don't show up in my activity stream.

That looks perfect. Thanks for the tip.

I hope the Amazon Prime app keeps working on my WiiU. It's about the only way I can do streaming on my old non-HDMI gaming TV without upgrading several other components.

Yep, it's the honor system, same as when you drop off donated items and they give you a blank receipt to fill in any valuation you want. How you'd prove it if you get audited is a mystery to me.

Couple possibilities beyond what's already been mentioned: -You're a lot less likely to get a counterfeit game from Goodwill than from ebay. -The amount paid above market value is considered a donation and thus is tax deductible. If you pay $250 for a $100 item, the $150 overpay is deductible.

Bah! Still no Pikmin4, so no Switch for me.

Received mine today. Looks great! Thanks Richard.

Wiis aren't worth fixing, as they can be had at thrifts & yard sales for $15-25 complete with cables & a controller or two.

Got mine a few days ago and have been enjoying the game. Nice work.

Update on LRG site says there will be a second batch this evening - 45% of the inventory still to go.

Got one! Somewhat mixed feelings as, if I had missed out, I could have abandoned my quest for a full wiiU set. Now I guess I have to go buy those crappy Dance and Skylanders (and a few others) titles I don't yet have.

Pm sent.
