Snes & Megadrive maybe...I wouldn't be paying €10 a cart for very many Atari or Game Gear games though.

Is that Gaming Mania? Do they still have that mountain of dusty game-decks at the back?

You'd be better off spending that sort of money on a Pal PS2 TEST console, region free out of the box, I have one and it's fantastic

Yeah I think thats it.one of the game gears was pissing out brown juice from the battery pack.I told him.he didnt know what it was!
Seemed to be picking prices out of his hole too.more brown dribble :P

Some form of old alkaline batteries probably! Seen a few corroded ones in my day.

Interesting aside, I used to have to take steroid tablets daily/multiple times per day, and if they touched your tongue at all, they tasted like that old corroded battery acid smell...

where that shop is?

Mr.Saturn

Here, it's on North Main Street:

Keep in mind, they ain't likely to have a tenth of what they're advertising on their FB.

Was there about a month back, all rubbish in the €10 range, anything that was worth buying seemed overpriced.

I had a test one a while back and traded it on here for a stack of Snes games. Probably wasn't a good deal but the guy was looking for one for ages.

Just saw this,

Now, I already have one and I can testify that they are pretty nice.
This guys price seems keen enough but he says "This is boxed, new, unopened and therefore never played. This is perfect for any collector..."
But looking at the picture

the box seems a bit tatty to me

You do, yeah. Get a few terrapins from local pet store and colour them accordingly.
Don't put mushrooms in the tank, green diesel all the way and nitro ala 2Fast and faster than fast.

Check out this dev unit, have never seen anything like it.

It's made up of 3DS components (including the screens) all mounted on a PCB. Looks mental

The people who want it have seen it by now. So they will just pm the buyer.

Very surprising to see something like that up alright. You see some PS3/360 bits, but they're mostly just debugging units. Anything modern and more technical than that is very often pulled or not even in circulation yet as it's still being used.

I'd love to know where this came from.

Indeed, to see a current gen proto/dev unit like that is that bit different. Ninty are normally extremely closed about proto/dev stuff too arn't they?

Nintendo are very protective over things like this alright. I remember when someone listed that NES Earthbound proto it was taken down pretty quickly.

Not so much bug testing gear, so you see a lot of that appearing on ebay. There have been quite a few 3ds debug kits listed lately and they haven't been taken down.

Regarding Atavan's lot - it's those beta discs he has which are most interesting about it. He has so many that at least one of them must have non retail code on it!

Ah, looks very like dev kits I've played around with from a company I won't mention, but it was a mobile/smart phone dev kit.
Kinda something you just put on a shelf as a 'nice to have'. Ended up shredding the one I had...might have been a silly thing to do thinking back on it.

Lakers Versus Celtics for the Megadrive. Another one of those 'are we sure this game exists?' PAL release titles. Crazy rare. Very possibly the rarest.

Check it out though, the seller got an offer of £500 in an email but declined. Auction ended at £236. I'd say he's kicking himself!
