Great advice on how to sell. Many thanks. However, that example you gave really, really sucks. That's brutal man and would certainly turn me off from events like that.

I agree with Ken and chucky at the same time. I found out in the durham region that there are some very organized people who go out to all the yard sales and even email them the night before from kijiji asking what they got. I showed up at 7:50am to an 8am sale cause I wanted an NES that worked for...

But I am upset, hence why I indicated that in the post and asking if what he did was cool or not. Thanks for the insight and all.

Sure, But the guy acted like he was going to keep it and is now taking credit for the upgrades on his store's site. That's what I'm talking about. I feel cheated and yeah, rather aware that I sold it. I think it's crap behaviour though. Based on what folks said in the past about dealers from flea ma...

Is this cool for a store owner to have done this?

So, this past weekend, my wife and I were selling some of our stuff at a local Geek Garage Sale. Our items ranged from Star Wars cards to a cheeseburger phone, GI Joes to Robotech, and model kits, to well, consoles! I decided it was time to downsize and thought I was selling them for a reasonable pr...

Was thinking about it. Just in my experience you get less BS with UO as opposed to Kijiji...then again, they do have a larger audience! Good call, thanks.

BTW, do you happen to have any other classic systems i.e. NES?? It came with an adapter that may work for you.

Not having it in front of me, I can't say for sure, but worth a try!

Yeah, it was the publication that added the images (except for the one of me and Nolan). I'm assuming they wanted to skirt some rights/trademark issues and went for a generic 8-bit look.

Thanks for the compliment!

You might want to go the RF route. Should be able to find them pretty cheap be it in-store or online. That way you can just hook it up into the coax. That's what I've done on my consoles to my newish (2 years old) TV.

Article about Space Invaders and the 100-Yen Myth

Been ages since I posted here, but thought this would be the right audience for it. I recently had an article published in The Numismatist where I explored (rather quickly) the myth surrounding the supposed 100-Yen shortage after Space Invader's launch. Hopefully you folks enjoy it! :wink: https://w...
