atari2atari Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Play Nice. Keep it Civil. EDIT: My dad is an amazing auctioneer and eBay fellow. He moves entire warehouses for a living. Car parts, instruments, antiques - - whatever needs going. "Give them something for free!" he always says. I think what he means at the core of that statement is value - - it's simple, if I don't see value in something, why should I buy it? So, in that spirit, I am starting an ADDITIVE AUCTION with this for-sale thread. We're adding value! "Uhmm, what's this ADDITIVE AUCTION that you speak of?" . . . It's simple - - - - I add something to this Adaptoid package below every few days until someone sees the value and offers to buy it. Maybe no one, maybe someone! The price stays the same, I just keep adding . . . more value. The question is, do you wait, and hope that MORE value gets added . . . . . . OR, do you see the value, and move to get the package before someone else does! Kind of a game - - someone else might be ready to go for it, and beat you to it . . . or no one may be watching, and you can keep waiting until there's as much value as you need! ADDITIVE AUCTION - Item 3 Thursday, November 8 (almost Friday!) ADDED - PERFORMANCE brand Nintendo 64 Memory Card in case I like these because they don't ever need batteries! Some sort of flash memory that is non-volatile and does not need to be changed regularly Great cards! Comes with the case, useful for stashing your other cards in it, too . . . THIS ITEM NOW GOES WITH THE Adaptoid PACKAGE BELOW - - same price, just adding MORE! ADDITIVE AUCTION - Item 2 Sunday, November 4 (Change your clocks back! ) ADDED - Dual Playstation and N64 USB to PC adapter Not as nice as the Adaptoid - - does not support Rumble, and has a less sensitive "translator," which means a rougher ride for the N64 controller to PC emulator Still very decent adapter, however, works just fine, AND it's blue! With LEDs! Hard to see, but there is a switch on the side between my fingers that goes back/forth between N64/Playstation (supports one or the other, not both at the same time) THIS ITEM NOW GOES WITH THE Adaptoid PACKAGE BELOW - - same price, just adding MORE! ADDITIVE AUCTION - Item 1 Wednesday, October 31 (Hallowe'en!) ADDED - 6-foot N64 controller extension cord The N64 controller unit has a nice long cord, but this ENSURES that you can make it to the lounge chair, and REALLY kick back! Great for making your PC a relaxing N64 gaming machine! THIS ITEM NOW GOES WITH THE Adaptoid PACKAGE BELOW - - same price, just adding MORE! $130 - N64 - Adaptoid package - USB to N64 controller adapter w/EXTRAS Nice starter N64-on-PC emulation package that includes - - - A genuine Adaptoid USB-to-N64 device; perfect for PC emulation, supports use of RUMBLE PAK (still the only device that does?) - official Nintendo RUMBLE PAK - blue N64 Controller; nice condition, good, tight, and responsive. Clean, too! - third party memory card that has added bonus of an easily replacable battery! (Unlike the official Nintendo ones!) - BONUS: DexDrive device, in box, also included in package, which allows you to manually add and backup saved games to N64 memory paks using your PC! There are lots of saved games out there that you can download, as well as hacked saves that start you with EVERYthing, like Star Wars Pod Racer "fully unlocked," etc. (Note: DexDrive uses a serial port, and works best on Windows XP, although I have gotten it to work on Windows 7/Vista!) - A mini-DVD is also included that has ALL the software from the floppies that came with the DexDrive, as well as some emulator software and other treats - - no need to search the Internet! Shipping not included - I ship world-wide, no problem! PM me! -a2a Edited November 9, 2012 by atari2atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonameo Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Would you be willing to sell just the adaptoid? maybe? How much would you want for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari2atari Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Would you be willing to sell just the adaptoid? maybe? How much would you want for it? Thanks for the interest! As you can no doubt imagine, I am more interested in doing this as a package, and moving all of these items at once! -a2a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) YEP keep it as a package, people will want the ADAPTOID for sure (I have one) but you'll have a hard time moving the rest otherwise. Well worth it for the package. In fact if I did not already have an ADAPTOID this would be sold lol!

gottamakeanew Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 if you haven't found someone, I'd love to buy this bundle off of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari2atari Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry, chief - - long, long, long gone! eBay still has a few Adaptoids show up each month, set an alert and you will eventually find one. Good luck! -a2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
