It actually is a pretty good price. I'd expect one to go at auction for somewhere between $10-$13K anyways, so being able to buy one outright at $13K isn't that terrible of an idea. Most people who put these up for BINs on eBay would have priced it around $22K, which I might expect the Gold one to go for.Quote:

Do you have a Repo cart of it by chance Drag? I've seen some of them floating around, usually in the $50+ range. Granted, it isn't official obviously but would probably be a nice stop-gap until you can burn away over 10k on a cart :wacko:
It's a rare competition cart that was never made available to the public. There were 90 of them that were given to the winners of the Nintendo World Championships competitions around the US in 1990, and 26 Gold cartridges that were given to random winners in a Nintendo Power contest, and that's it. They are considered one of the holy grails of video games, especially for NES collectors. The only thing I would consider more rare for the NES than an NWC cart would be a complete in box Stadium Events, and even then not by much.Quote:

Yeah, that cart is rare. I didn't know they cost that much though.Quote:

Now you're paying with power :wacko:Quote:

Powerfest '94 is the one that always comes to mind when I hear SNES competition. I think there are only two of those left in the wild -- the others were returned to Nintendo after the competition to be used for parts. I think Campus Challenge was the same thing, 'cept a different year. 1991 or 1992, something like that. A quick Wiki lookup tells me that there are only two of those carts in the wild as well.Quote:

$20K seems to be the upper limit of what most collectors will pay for an item. I rarely hear of anything selling for more than $30K, unless it's in a private sale, and even those seem to hover around $18-$22K.Quote:

Happy birthday man, I didn't know. Go out and paint the town.... I know I would :wacko:Quote:

No worries, I haven't been advertising it that much. :P Any semblance of plans that I had (go to a bar with a book, order myself a decent meal and have a few drinks) got kind of dashed when my brother invited me over for dinner. So now I'm obligated to put up with the menagerie in their tiny house while making small talk just long enough so as not to seem rude before leaving, parking my car at home and maybe going out for a beer before I pass out and start a new day tomorrow.Quote:

Same ol', same ol'. :wacko:
Thankies. And I bring a lot of this on myself, so it's not nearly as bad as I make it out to be. I'm just cranky.Quote:

I should play a game.
But I don't have the energy to play a game.
Therefore, I'm going to sit here, eat potato chips, progressively get drunker as the night goes on, and watch Game of Thrones until I pass out at a rather unreasonable hour, wake up late tomorrow and go to work, to start my life completely anew. If I get drunk enough, I just might buy something useless on eBay. Because why the fuck not.
</rambling>
Is that back on soon?Quote:

I'd also like to say that if anyone want to get an inexpensive pre-made supergun that the Vogatek MK5 is awesome! Really easy to hookup and it gives an awesome picture through S-Video. As well as being a steal at only ~$65. :top:
Been lacking sleep for the past few days so I'm cutting out early. :bed:
...
And it isn't even 1am yet. I should be proud, but I'm not. Kinda want to play more FE but too sleepy to continue.
Horrible morning, everyone... -_-
As in, automatically.Quote:

A member double posts, but then both posts are automatically merged immediately.
Posting after one's own post adds the text to the post, instead of making a new one, and also bumps the thread.
... That probably makes little sense, no?
Spoiler warning:
At least it would stop your shitty posts.Quote:

Spoiler warning:
REALLY want more but I think I'll wait so I can buy season 3 in the store. Also want to play the game but I'm waiting for the disc release which should come out soon.
Speaking of which, new episode tonight :dancing:
I SO want to watch season 3 but I have to show some restraint! D:
By the way have you seen The Following, Zaladane? They are gonna start airing it here in Sweden next week and I'm kinda curious.
Shouldn't be too much longer. They're on episode 12 tonight and pretty sure it goes to 16. Then whatever time it takes to release it I guess, unless you download it of course.Quote:

They I'm guessing a few more months. I just recently bought season 2 because I'm a cheapskate but I'm not sure I can hold out that long for season 3... :wacko:Quote:
