Found a Sega Multi Mega, with cables and pad for £70. Worth picking up for that price?

Definitely. I've not seen a working one go for much less than £200 with postage and usually much more than that.

Yeah, I think that's awesome, too. But I could never do it. I'd just be devastated if something happened like flood or fire and lost everything. So these days I'm in a Japanese frame of mind (i.e. minimalist) and have all my games digital.

after buying that street fighter pad, i found on estocks they had this listed

"Xbox;XboxXbox;Xbox Street Fighter 2 Controller: Akuma (Xbox VideoGames " that listed for £7.77 free postage but they had no pictures so i was hoping it was going to be the akuma version of the pad i have,so i ordered it.

This is what turned up today, fully boxed pad for £7.77 posted,think it was a bargain

Tesco had 3.4l Tupperware boxes click seal reduced to 70p so bought 8 of them , work great for storing snes and megadrive carts and they are stackable

I've got the Chun-Li version of that playstation pad all boxed etc too, got it from Ninja Games, west yorks.

Anyway, having to sell off a lot of my retro stuff (space, funds, new house etc)

Selling some of the rarer stuff separately, adventures of batman and robin for Snes up first. Used to love playing this back in the day

Anyone well up on the Game Trader page on FB?

Made a purchase on a A1200 the other day, but just seems a bit dodgy right now.

Paid via PayPal goods So should be fine?

i have bought a few things and had no problems, just ask a game trader admin if your concerned , most people post saying is this seller trusted and people willtell you if they are good to deal with.

Just join the group... there's a lady selling link: faces of evil for the philips on there. Not sure if she knows how much its worth or I should tell her. Awful game thou.

Seems Yodel were the let down, no show on collection day, seller rebooked delivery...I suppose if things do go badly wrong, I can open a dispute on PayPal.

Have to agree. Bought my snes, Saturn and fair few games on there and never had issue

Mostly a good bunch

What's the max I should pay for a used PS1 in reasonable condition with the basic cables and one controller?

Battletoads! such an epic game (so I'm a bit biased - brings back a lot of memories everytime I play it - stupid hoverbikes lol)

I had to go sort out my grans bunglalow siince she has been poorly and needs 24 hour care so has got to go into a care home so i had to go and take my stuff i had stored in the loft.Its been there since about 2007 and i totally forgot what was there so here is what i found , i can now say i have officially ran out of room

not sure if these are working, i cant remember buying them, i use to go to loads bootsales back in 2007 and constantly buy bundles

phatboy · 14 Oct 2013 at 10:48

Good lord! Nice find

ONESHOTKILL · 14 Oct 2013 at 12:18

Two SNES console don't work the Nintendo logo comes on screen then the picture goes dark then fades away to were you can barely see it, its odd , using the same setup the other SNES works perfect was playing Dr Mario last night

Oh and noticed ultimate soccer on retro collect is coming up as rare and on eBay some sell for £30.

Think the next game I want for megsdrive is Boogerman: a pick flick adventure I am sure I had it back In the day

phatboy · 14 Oct 2013 at 15:45

meant to be pretty hilarious too

I still need to locate the original Streets of Rage, Road Rash 1,2 and 3, Zero Tolerance and Probotector. my find of all finds would be any type of version of TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist cart only....tbf PCB only if it works lol

also need a box and instructions for Streets of Rage 2...just doesnt feel right to one of the defining games on the system as cart only

imb4tman · 14 Oct 2013 at 17:32

I've bought a few for a couple of quid each. Depends if its a DS controller, controllers for Ps1/2 (official ones at least) are the hardest to get in good condition.
