I'm going to be making the mighty trek to the show from Cincinnati. I'm stopping in Toledo friday night and riding in saturday morning with a friend, stands to be a pretty good time. Any excuse to get loaded and buy videogames.

I ended up buying a bunch of Sears and Activision 2600 label variants at MGC this year. I ended up spending about $200 at Ianoid's booth on a CtCW and a bunch of variants. Between Ianoid and Davenumbers, they got about $450 out of me . I plan on making a trip back up to WI in august or so to visit Davenumbers, should be a good time.

This post is just to inform the membership that there has been a 5200 retail kiosk to pop up on ebay listed here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=270226753894 The auction lists it as-is but "worked last time I tried it." It is said that it cannot be tested because there isn't 120v power availible to test it... However, there is an outline of a cage of a quartz light in one of the pictures that requires 120v. Just wanted to let anyone know that may bid to not get their hopes up. It's still cool, though.

I wouldn't be opposed to making the mighty trek from the east side of Cincy up to Cleveland. It indeed would also give me an excuse to make all of these commons go away...

I'm looking to obtain a copy of Gyruss for 2600. A somewhat common cart, but I'm tired of looking for it in the wild, and want my own copy. Cart and label need to be in good condition, and a picture would be appreciated. I can pay with Paypal, and have had successful transactions here in the past. PM me with a reasonable price.

I found a copy of Tooth Protectors with instructions in an Atari 2600 lot with 25 games at Goodwill yesterday... Had to pay $30 to walk out the door with the goods, though

I came across a joystick in a 2600 lot yesterday, unlike one I've ever seen before. It's identical to a CX40 joystick, aside from the fact that the orange paint around the base is slightly off, the action on the joystick is sloppy as opposed to a CX40 joystick, and the controller connector is slightly different, with the letters "AMP" on the connector. It's obvious that it's an aftermarket stick, but why go to such great heights to copy Atari's design. I've never come across one of these sticks in my years of collecting, so I was wondering if this particular stick is rare.

I bought a VCS with 25 games today for $30, all with instructions. More than I wanted to pay, but I couldn't pass up on the copy of Tooth Protectors that was in there begging to be bought...

I'll gladly be attending Midwest Classic this weekend. I hope to catch up with some of the folks I met here in Cincinnati a couple months ago, and get to meet some more people as well. See you there.

I'll probably drop by the convention center friday after I get off work to see what's going on, and maybe meet a few people and see what goodies are in store for the show. Should be good, hope to see you there...

I'll be there again this year, should be good.

Well, there's a little over 6 months to prepare, so I think it'll make for one hell of a show. I think I'm going to pitch in and help with the preparation of the show this year, should have the free time.

I have: Super Star Soldier (hucard and sleeve only) Victory Run (hucard only) Keith Courage (hucard only) Final Lap Twin (hucard only) Granted, aside from Super Star Soldier, they're uber common, but I figured I'd lay them out on the table.

Damn... that would've been enough Combat cartridges to build a lovely coffee table with.

I would venture to say you'd have better luck finding Rockman MegaWorld. Same exact game, only in japanese. Upside is, the JAP version is NTSC, so there shouldn't be any display issues.

Would you still go to Cinciclassic if it were in Walnut Hills or Over-The-Rhine? I get to go to night school at the 212 Hall in Walnut Hills twice a week and risk getting knifed/shot but eh, it's a good place for a con .

Nice to see you aren't reselling it. It was an extra copy, so I didn't need it.

It would help if you let people know if it is the original release or the Greatest Hits re-release. $35 is a little high if it is the Greatest Hits version...

Well, the organizers are wanting to use space on the grounds, not actually in the club. So long as it's climate controlled, it's all good.

I dunno, if it does go down this year, it will be hard to organize at it will essentially be like starting over. The last CinciClassic was in 2002, and mum's been the word on another since then. I live in Cincy, and would love nothing more that to have a large scale local gaming con. Also, Jillian's is an A+ location for this event, as Covington, KY is a very fun town, Main Strasse is great on the weekends.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a bidding war. I'm expecting it to finish in the $200-$300 watch. If it went for $300, I'd be making a 1200% profit.

Man, you missed out. I sold a CIB copy to mcgrail the other day. I'd had a running list in the marketplace. Sold it for $12.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Take a gander at it, and be a cool d00d and bid

Newbie ebayers paying insane amounts for stuff is nothing new. I was thinking about selling my Nelsonic PacMan watch and I checked the completed listings, there's a guy paying about $300 a pop for them from multiple sellers. Either he really likes watches or it's a multiseller shilling conspiracy...

Whatever hasn't sold by tomorrow gets ebayed.
