I was in retropolis today and Picked up 2 games. Nice little shop and they guy running it is dead sound! definitely check it out if you're in the area. He's also going to be getting in more arcade boards and some famicom stuff.

MrVestek

There were fake DSi's doing the rounds there a while back...cheap chinese things in replacement DS cases...make sure its what it is before you part with cash

Great thing about the 3ds is that for now it will cost more to repro the console then to get it new

Also im bringing a couple of my own games to test and there is a 3ds game with it so i can see the 3d working

the groutch

if the seller is a 16 year old asian schoolgirl, then don't buy it.

Sparks43

All sorted now picked it up a few mins ago.

The guy that sold it found it in the Airport handed it in and as there wasnt a claim in 6 months he got to keep it.

Some ****er tried a snipe on me though:mad:

I'll be sticking up a Sega Nomad on adverts a little later for those interested.
I managed to score a mint boxed Nomad from a guy. The Nomad I have is in fantastic condition but not as nice as this one.

Usual Steve prices ;0)

Well, if it went to a good home here on the forum I'd let it go for a nice price. We cant really talk money or the mods will sweep in a give me a spanking
It comes with the usual stuff, psu, standard battery pack.

Steve X2

Ad is live.
130 on adverts or 100 to you fine people
No mods done to it and the screen is very nice for its age but a screen mod would really make it special.

Throw money at this!
These handhelds are gold!
Plus the effect the opposite sex cannot be overstated!
Also, screen mod, region mod and battery mod are prerequisites for MD bliss, topped off with an Everdrive for extra happiness!

Have some stuff on adverts myself

usual adverts prices....discounts a plenty for the A&R KR3W

Is it just me, or does it look like the guy selling this is taking the photo from behind the counter in the shop he works in?

Working in a shop and selling the stock.. thats a paddling.

Yep,
not surprised.Games stop get boxes of this stuff in and its all random.
So the staff get first dips on the good stuff.
Same goes for weighing packs of collectible cards and getting all the shiney ones.
One of the perks of the job I suppose!

Optimus Prime

The least he could do is take it home and take the photo haha..

Enternow - you gotta get those frames sorted somehow . Extra wide doors or something. The amount of sit down cabs listed over the last while for amazing prices is unreal!

I'd be almost 100% thats taken by someone working in the shop, looks a bit like a Game to me.
I was talking to an Activision rep only recently & he said how its extremely rare for these skylander variants to make it on the shop floor

Just won Blue Stinger in Pyongyangs auction. I almost feel bad winning his auctions becasue it always feels like day light robbery.

I really wanted to bid on his R Types disc, it sold for very little too.

I also wanted to bid on an official Progear CPS2 board which ended today. Final price was 142 pounds. I'm gutted!!!
