Re: 'Geek' Garage Sale - Saturday 2 June

With that much geek stuff, you could always just get a table at a video game swap meet and sell the stuff there... And I've done that before. We had a booth at the Ottawa Geek and Gaming Garage Sale this past spring. I used to go to the CGCC swaps, but haven't been in a while. Now that I'm 'liquida...

I have some Jaguar stuff, yeah. I wasn't prioritizing putting it out because it's well... a bit more obscure lol.

For Sale: Wolfenstein VCS

Hey everybody, Been a long, long time since I've hung around the forums. I've amassed quite the collection, but have sort of moved on hobby-wise to new things. That being said, I'd like to start listing some of the more uncommon things I've got, starting with subject. I probably have plenty of (old)...

Re: What kind of insurance do you have on your collection?

I'm curious how everyone has their collections insured. Is it regular homeowner's insurance? Scheduled collector's insurance? I went to my insurance agent today and checked into my insurance policy. I was supposed to have special insurance that covered my game collection and a few other collectible...

Re: Looking to sell the following, please make offers.

Hello Gentlemen and ladies. I am new to your forum yes, but I was looking to offer you items I had, that ebay has 0 information on, or very little.

Laptop Advice: Vaio F or Asus N76VZ?

Guys, So my wife ditched her desktop computer a few months ago, opting to use her laptop and her new tablet instead, and I think it's finally time I joined her. I'm currently using a 5 year old Pentium D 2.8GHz desktop PC upgraded to 3GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 5550 that spits out a '4.7' on the wi...

So, after I picked up the PSP a couple weeks ago for $20 at a yard sale, I snagged a few games at $5-$10 a pop. Currently playing Final Fantasy, and I'm about 5-6 hours into it. I never played this one on the NES or PS1, and it took me a while to figure out the Dark Elf King quest thing; I just kept...

Picked up a couple games today, I am not sure how well I did though: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/IMG190.jpg Cost a buck each. Pretty nice finds! I'd be extremely pleased with those at a buck each. Sometimes it's hard with Atari 400/800/XE stuff, but DP says Bounty Bob is an R8...

It does seem a bit steep; it works out to around $180 per game. When I did the math last week I must have missed a zero, because I thought 'what's the big deal, he's paying $18 a game' This does seem a bit disproportionate to the actual value of the items in the auction. Still, while it is a pretty ...
