1 day left and not one bid. Not too many people watching either. Guess no one wants this.

The majority of the copies are PAL. I see one on right now that has a bid of $18 or so. I don't even see an end label on that one. Oh, well. Guess I'll keep it. I needed the extra $10 or so because I bid on too many items and now I'm about to be short in paypal.

Actually that's already paid for. It's other items that I bid on the other night thinking I had more in paypal than I really did. My wife made me use my paypal for Walmart, fast food, and a couple of other items, so I drained a good $100 or so on non-video game items. :(

On a separate note, I made a purchase of 2 items at a flea market this Saturday for a total of $4 and just sold them for $50. Non-video game items too, but I'm a happy man. Now I should have enough to pay for more stuff. But I have to watch myself, my wife is hovering over me like a vulture waiting to pounce. I don't have the room for the stuff I've been acquiring.

I'm cleaning up my "computer room" which is my old bedroom when I was a kid. It's now full of a couple of thousand video games, 30 long boxes of comics, tons of systems, all my D&D books and stuff, and many board games, along with some toys. I'm going to buy a tucker tote tub to store my Master System stuff and maybe some other smaller systems because I need room for my NES carts. I'm also going to setup a tv to test all these Atari games I just got in.

I was very happy to finally see this box arrive to my house 15 minutes ago. It had a boxed Dreamcast, boxed DC Keyboard, 2 boxed controllers, 40 complete games and several loose ones. Instant collection!

It didn't say anything about being NTSC. Maybe I should have just hidden the end label. I'm always too honest with things. Nah, I don't believe in deceiving people. Oh, well. The person hasn't paid for it yet, maybe they won't. :)

Hehe. I wouldn't doubt I paid more for my personal copy than you paid for this one. I went to the post office today, so I was hoping to have gotten this out right away. It'll probably go out tomorrow if I don't get called to substitute.

I'm not a stickler on shipping. Nor do I leave bad remarks about shipping time... only remarks if the shipping was $15 or something for one cart in a bubblelope. I'm a sloooooow shipper for the most part (life really gets in the way)... so I don't mind.

:) It is PAL... but I do have a portable that accepts PAL games! :)

My old tv has the vertical hold, so I never had a problem playing PAL games.
