E-Bay winnings

Yeah. Just bought my copy from a guy locally. He gouged me at $340 USD, but I couldn't say no.

Got this in the mail today! Doing a little From Software collecting.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture

Thanks! Pretty excited to play this one, what I really want to try is Shadow Tower. I hear that one is fun as well as hard

I heard the King's Field games are related to Demon Souls in some way

Bit of a preemptive celebration but I got this on ebay for 100$ CAD

Mostly garbage games like 4 copies of gran turismo but no one noticed the copy of 2 Ball which might go for 700$+

It's in the mail now, I could not be more hype to have a game with around 10 copies known to exist.

krunch, if that's legitimately 2-ball Dangerboy (Jason Dvorak) may have some questions about it for you. He's a good friend of the site, and I think he was looking for some information about a particular variant for it.

Yeah I was gonna tweet to him once I got it. Especially since it's from Canada, which most copies seem to come from. Hell I even saw ads on kijiji from a guy in canada trying to sell a copy.  Something weird going on!

Got 2 ball BUT the disc doesnt work even after a cleaning
It's really beat up, I'll see if I can get the disc polished or something

Can your computer read the disc?

Picked up another Atari 5200 game off ebay. Already had the box for it, so I am glad I could knock this off the list

Nice!  I've found Ebay to be a great place for 5200 deals.  It's where most of my collection's from.

Its the only place I can find the ones I need. And yes, there are surprisingly good deals to be found. Going to a con in the next couple weeks, hoping to get some good deals there on Atari 5200 stuff. Looking for those and an Atari 5200 controller that has at least a start button that works.

I was able to get HERO and Montezuma's Revenge pretty easily and affordably, but those are at the higher end of my collection.  I'm not chasing the real white whales.

I assume you're joking about the controller, but if you are genuinely looking for one with just a functioning start button, I may be able to help you out.  I have 6 5200 controllers, none of which function fully and all of which have different faults.  I play my 5200 games with old computer joysticks/joypads connected through homebrew adapters.

[Fokakis79]

Nice, those are hard to find. I got HERO cart only but Montezuma has been elusive at a good price.  I am actually not joking about the controller, ha ha! All the ones, I have, no longer work at all. Got a Y-cable but can't start a game with the joystick I got.

I was bidding on a homebrew adapter but was outbid. That is really what I want but unless I figure out how to make one or find one on eBay again, I am outta luck.

I paid pretty much top dollar for my cart of HERO, probably to avoid paying even more for a 2600 copy.  I got a minor deal on Montezuma's Revenge, but not a great one.  There's a cart of Montezuma's Revenge up on Amazon for $19 (which is what I paid for mine), if that's in your budget.  Outside of a copy of Star Wars Arcade that I got for $3 at a pawn shop, the rest of my collection is from Ebay lots, including my copies of Miner 2049er and Super Cobra.

I got pretty lucky and bought a Y-cable and keyboard adapter at the same time for about what a rebuilt 5200 controller goes for.  Then I bought a bunch of cheap old PC joysticks and joypads at yard sales for next to nothing. 

In the interest of not clogging up this thread further, I've PM'ed you about the controllers.
