eBay Auction -- Item Number: 230932131256

 

Not mine but just found this. I always like red color. Looks cool. It is a lot he's asking. But it would'n be any easier my self.

Just buy yourself some red enamel spray paint for plastics....you will save yourself a whole bunch.

I made a vader like that with dye once. I ended up dying over it with another color though because it wasn't orange enough. Kinda wish I hadn't.

I'm a damned fool now parted with my $, but I bought it. Something about it just called to me. Plus I've been after Jawbreaker for a long time, wanted it CIB but now can give up as I will have a Jawbreaker console of sorts, plus the cart.

And don't even say it, I know I paid too much and I could've done it myself. Fully aware. Just....found myself clicking on the Make Offer button and there it is.

Ugh, what a terrible paint job!

Looks well done to me.. So how much did you end up paying for it??

[+Curious Sofa]

GDG - is it really? I mean honestly, maybe I don't know good from bad, but it looks pretty good, and the pics seem pretty close up & genuine... Or do you just hate the color?

 

And I paid $83 for it, then $10 to ship. So, simply, too much. But the Jawbreaker cart is one I needed, and that's worth about $15 by itself, meaning I paid realistically $68 for the Jr. And what's a decent Jr worth these days, $45ish? So yeah, I paid someone $23 to slap some red and black paint on some plastic.

[Gregory DG]

No, I love red. Since the auction is over and I can't see the pics now, I remember it having a looking very "orange peeled" finish and some over spray marks. I'd much prefer an out of the box factory look to a can of spray paint haphazardly applied.

 

I'm sure you'll still enjoy playing it though.

Dude, I would not admit paying that much for a destroyed jr...

[Osbo]

Yikes... you paid how much for that?? Last console I sold was an A/V modified 2600 that sold for like 30 bucks with shipping... Lordy
