) and 100 games for 60 quid

i really fancied collecting the gameboys,I might have to pick myself up a SP they look pretty cool
Another little pickup i got today for £1,never heard of the game but for £1 its worth it just for the box,its in mint condition

They're a nice size to collect, don't take up too much space
Really hard finding mint ones though, especially boxed (let alone sealed
).

yea that sealed one looks class,have you not had the urge to open it even tho you know whats in? if i have sealed stuff i always want to open it
Would love to open it, but just couldn't do it after it lasting this long unopened.
Thought I'd share a few pics of my steadily growing GBA SP collection.
Nice collection mate! I've never seen that spongebob or orange and green style before.

Thought I'd struck gold here, but seems the seller is more interested in how far I'd have to drive, a journey of Rochdale to B'ham to collect. I knew this prior to bidding, But communication seems to have ceased.
No willingness to arrange a time or day that can suit us both. The final message was I should've checked prior to bidding, but why should I when it was a strict collection only deal.
Sucks
:/

Just a thought for anyone with a Mega Drive...
May I make a suggestion for connecting it up.. Get yourself one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEGA-MEGA...essories_JN&hash=item2ebe7a978d#ht_500wt_1413
They make it look that little better and its much easier to find the program and get the thing working
I have 4 or 5 Mega Drives with various add on's (32X or Mega CD or both!) and I use this and it makes it look so much better!!
Jaymond, if you have paid for the item and have said about collecting it, surely it wouldn't matter at all as long as you turn up??

Did you get those protective cases with your games or buy them Seperate?
I imported those, and the 'Who are you' one' from the US. I've just got the expensive ones left to try and get now.
In my last job I came across a stash of Dreamcast parts. The company who owned them went into liquidation and I had the task of sorting the stock. They must have repaired then because there was a machine specific to assembling parts for them.
I managed to get a hold of some of it. Unfortunately, some of the parts to build a complete unit were missing (controller PCB, top part of the casing and some internal metal shielding). The parts I have are:
7 x Controller
4 x Laser Unit
2 x Mainboard
2 x Internal Transformer
3 x Bottom half of case
4 x Flip-up lid
8 x Dial-up modem
11 x Coaxial AV Lead
All these parts are new and official.
Also have 3 complete Dreamcasts (1 x New in box, 1 x New with no parts, 1 x Used test unit).
I've had it all for years and was thinking of selling some of the more valuable parts though I'm not sure if it'll be worth the hassle for a couple of quid.

I cannot pay *yet* because we haven't ironed out the details, I do think the seller wants to let it go to someone else...
Not sure why or if he's been offered more by someone else, as he didn't even invoice me, his initial worry was the distance I'd have to travel, it's not his problem
I think I've lost this one
