Everything was 50p the ps1 games some boxes cracked but discs and stuff are mint
I went to manchester today to look at a flat.. it was a dive; but I did pickup my/my nephews snes games:
so it wasn't a total waste of my time, not sure why I brought them home as I'm move up in a few days time. lol
Sorry about the burred photo, I'm rather too tired to care at the moment.

I think there's a time limit for the seller to accept an offer and then its automatically declined.
TBH if it was me and willing to spend that much on the collection £75 pounds is neither here or there and I wound just pay the asking fee. At that price you would have to me a serious collector and not buying it just to break down and resell.
Dunno if that collection is worth the price it's at now. Decent collection though.
Had a quick gander on ebay earlier and found this....and won it for not really a lot. Well chuffed!

I am going to start up a big collection of this stuff as soon as I finish my degree I think. It'll be great to have these nostalgic things back in my life.
Can't believe I've only just stumbled on this thread! I'm moving house soon and will be digging up all my retro kit from the attic. After reading through some of these posts I may have the bug again. Seems the Amiga is receiving a lot of love again though?? (I have the 1.3 A500 with loads of original boxed games)
Will get some photos up soon of what I've got laying around

Managed to get a blue one to finish off the set
(I know there are other versions out there such as 20th Anniversary - I'll grab one some other time
Wish I never sold my silver one.. Thou I did manage to damage the screen cover by over cleaning it. Lol
I do still have a special cart and burner somewhere but I do plan of getting one again as it is the perfect handheld to leave in your office draws for a quick blast of something.
Exactly my thoiughts. I have to say this really feels so nice in your hands.
These are all fully boxed/complete for the purpose of my retro collection but I may pick a loose one up for (as you say) a quick blast.
I cant remember what are the classic games for the GBA! Give me some ideas

Anything that was basically good on the snes and some of the re-vamped NES games.
I still have a few as I used to play them on the DS.

Ah, thats nice Cavallino.Makes me a bit jelly.I know a local retro retail shop has an almost mint in box model 2 mega cd, he wants a £100 for it though and not really sure if its worth it.Would quite nicely complete the model 2 megadrive i picked up cheap the other week 
Hmm check ebay prices bud? See what theyre going for?
Haggle with him a bit?
To be honest local retro shops are going to charge over the odds for sure, you could pick one up cheaper from forums with a retro fan base?
To be frank, I want a boxed Mega CD 1 to go with my original Mega drive

I've been looking at getting an American SNES so that I can play American and Japanese games, I also fancy the colour scheme of the american control pad. Will my UK ac adapter work on the American console without any mods?
