  1. I hear people complain about stores trade in values all the time. I was wondering what everyone thinks a fair trade in value would be. 50%? Should the percentage change depending on how rare an item is? Should it depend on how quickly the store can sell the game?

     

    I just thought it would be interesting to hear everyones opinion.

     

    If I was opening a game store right now. What percentage for trade ins would it take to get you to come to my store?


  2. Why not pick them all up? People might trade well for the games you left behind. I have Saga Frontier already but you should go back and pick up the other one ;)

     

    I really love how local game places are starting to forget what classic games are worth and only know what modern games are worth.

     

    Yesterday I picked up a near mint (disks are perfect, has all the inserts including the ps mag add) a copy of Star Ocean for the psone for 10 bucks, and a copy of Super Mario All starts for the SNES for 6 dollars.

     

    ahh, lovely. they had two other square psone rpgs.. ssaga frontier??? and something else that was more anime looking than that.. but i didnt pick em up.


  3. I have extra Nomads for sale if you decide to buy a whole new system. I've never found a screen for sale individually. But if anyone knows where to find a Turbo Express screen I'd be interested in knowing. I can buy a Turbo Express for $25 but the screen is cracked.


  4. I'm sitting on about 40 NES systems right now. And have the opportunity to buy atleast one a week. I can buy 10 right now at $30 each from a local dealer but that doesn't seem worth my time. I seem to buy them quicker than I can sell them. The local game store used to sell them for $10 around here too but they would only sell me so many. Now they are asking $59.99. They are easy to find if you are looking for them. They bring $60 on ebay though. So that would explain the price hike.


  5. I was wondering if someone could answer a quick question for me. I've tried searching online but every explanation I find is about a PAL Megadrive and I don't think a US Genesis is exactly the same.

     

    I'm installing a 50/60hz switch and a Jap/US switch in a model 1 Genesis. I have the Jap/US Switch working properly but the 50/60hz switch won't work. When I flick the switch the system turns off. I've read that you have to cut traces but I don't know where. I've tried cutting them between JP2 and JP3 but that didn't seem to work. I think I read that for US systems you have to cut JP4....

     

    Where do you cut the traces for a US Model 1 genesis?

     

    Is it necessary to connect any 2 points? I'm not using the left JP1 or JP4 at all.

     

    Thanks!


  6. I didn't know anything about arcade machines. But I bought an Ehrgeiz cab that was in great shape with a perfect 25" monitor in it. I asked if it was Jamma and he said that it was. Well now that I know a little more I've found out Ehrgeiz is Jamma+. So when I put a Neo-Geo 1 slot in it, I have no player 2, no D button and no sound. Is it possible to get a convertor to change Jamma+ to Jamma? Or would I have to rewire everything to put a Neo-Geo in there?

     

    Are there and good Jamma+ games I should look into?

     

    I'd really like to put a Neo-Geo in there if possible. But I'm not too handy with a soldering iron. So I don't think I could put a new harness in.

     

    Thanks for any input!


  7. Thank you so much!

    I've read stuff at Gamefaqs and all over the place. I couldn't find much specific to the arcade version. SO I assumed I needed to beat the game with a male character, a female character, and all 8 original characters. And then possibly with the Final fantasy 7 characters. But apparently that is jsut for the PSX version.

     

    Again thank you very much. I've read so many faqs and walkthroughs but they were all for the psx version.


  8. I bought an Ehrgeiz cabinet about a week ago. It works great so I've been playing it quite a bit. I don't know how to unlock new characters though. I've beat 11 stages (including cloud and tifa) without losing and then ran out of time at the red scorpian. I just found out that I can kill the scorpian with the daggers so I will try that tonight. Will that unlock a character for me? I'm pretty sure you can only unlock 3 characters in the arcade version correct?

     

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


  9. Hi there,

    I have a couple SNES systems I'm about to put on ebay. Looking for $55 for one in great shape that is tested and guaranteed to work. I'm interested in Spllaterhouse and Bonk. Let me know if interested. Thanks
