I'm not upset by the comments because honestly when I was on that side of the fence I was if the exact same mind and voice.
I think its when you cross over and get hit with all these unexpected or planned costs and hurdkes tgat you get to see the full picture.
There are always chancers out there who indeed infuriate us both likewise, they give everyone a bad name and do sadly take advantage and rip people off.
But guys this is me....and BluesBrothers who is as close to me as a real brother....and we really do serve the community and look after our members on here.
Still love ya mikey lol

Hey TC, we all know what effort goes into your machines :)
It's a lot different to putting a box protector on a Snes Game and asking £75 for it ;)
Now that's perfect, cheers SteveQuote:

First up, a very good condition TI99/4A that I got for a very reasonable price, especially as it included all cables, PSU, Modulator, handbooks and ten cartridges! :) Then, as I also like to collect watches, this beauty got added to my collection to cover both Retro and Watch collections. It works fine, but unfortunately the plexi-glass was so badly scratched, that I needed to polish it and sacrifice the C= symbol :( The metal was fine and it now looks almost new :) It still has the Commodore info and logo on the underside and the complete box (even the outer cardboard) was also included.
I also picked up a Frontlight for my GBC (they are back in stock at Kitsch Bent at the moment). Installed it with LOCA and it's looking good. It'll be interesting to see what effect it has on the battery life though.

Woah! Don't use that for parts, that's a classic piece of hardware. What a cool radio.

Not *quite* getting something new in the immediate sense, as I actually got this some time ago but immediately put it into storage for later use...
I retrieved something that I bought for another project, but ultimately never used, from a box today. It was a Jedi outfit and matching Lightsabre from Build-A-Bear Workshop, which I'd never even removed the tags from. Now Max the lemming is doing his bit as a Jedi Knight (or should that be a Lemi Knight? Or maybe just Old Lem Kenobi?). :p

Just got back from a friend who picked up 80 MD games for well, peanuts. He sold me Mutant League Hockey cheap so that's my latest.
Can I just add, I didnt mean to come across as being harsh or inconsiderate about revival pricing. Bas, I had no issues with machines like you qnd BBs were selling. You guys work damn hard and your products reflect that, your stand was simply amazing, I just wish I had gone back for a closer inspection. It's just when you come across a dusty bad condition game and they want more than eBays BIN prices, it just annoyed me a bit. They haven't spent ages reconditioning it. I try to keep an eye out for friends and pass stuff on at cost or to cover petrol, I wouldn't have minded reasonable prices, I know they have travel and pitch expenses but even so I though some were still excessive. I didn't mean to cause offense, I know ppl have to make a living. Anyway.. Soz for thread jacking
thats a nice TI99/4A bryce :)
