The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[noiseredux]

yeah same here.

[Zagnorch]

maybe use a different image hosting site?

That's cold, man. Real cold.

Just because the relationship isn't perfect, it doesn't mean I should just suddenly break it off.

All the same, it's a good idea to have a standby...

I've noticed with some android phones the pictures orientation can be affected by how far the device is tilted when taking pictures.  I have the same problem when holding the phone nearly flat, trying to take overhead photos.  And photobucket has issues flipping them at times when they're like that.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I occasionally had similar issues with pics I took with my Panasonic digital camera.

Hell yeah!  The Rubiks Snake, baby!  Loved it as a kid and my mother keeps it at her house for the current kids in the family.

 

Would you like one of your very own? Otherwise, I'm just gonna toss it into my donation box.

And I might recommend PhotoBucket.com for your image hosting needs?  At least they keep my pic in order.

Just set up an account there. Fortunately, several of its features are similar to those of MediaFire, so the learning curve shouldn't be too steep.

All righty, I'm off to the east bay for a workshop. Then I'll do a little thrifting up there afterwards. Hopefully, i can dig up a few things to show off to y'all...

So I stop by the post office today and I have a package. I wasn't expecting anything, and I didn't recognize the return address. I open it up and low and behold:


So I'm pretty sure it came from a staff member here, since the Collectorcast twitter account had a message from the RFG account asking "Any of you guys Coloring any Dinosaurs lately?" So who is the extremely generous person I have to thank?? THANK YOU!

[SirPsycho]

Man you just got the 2nd coolest NES game ever made? I'm so jealous.

Of course we all know what Number 1 is.

Sweet! Fun times. haha

...and then I go back to the post office to ship out another package, and WOW:


To whomever is hooking me up, THIS IS AWESOME.

Don't look at me; I'm too cheap to buy myself one of those, let alone for someone else.

However, I am crafting a CollectorCast-related thingy I hope to send you or one of your co-hosts by Halloween...

[Duke.Togo]

I just noticed the receipt with the shirt had a message: "You can thank Crabby for this one."

THANKS CRABBO!

[RetroRage]

Nice Duke.  What are you down to now?

[Duke.Togo]

Nice Duke.  What are you down to now?

12 licensed and unlicensed. Not including NWC (and counting the newer Cheetahmen II)

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Wasn't me, though Color A Dinosaur is pretty fun.
If I had to guess, it was NES_Rules.

[RetroRage]

And you're avoiding Ebay right?

[engel762]

For ages 3-6, sounds a tad on the difficult side!

[NES_Rules]

Yes, it was I who had the stuff shipped to you Duke. But it was mostly all Crabby's idea, especially for that game. Since he won the contest this year, he decided to give his prizes to you.


And this is completely coincidental, but I finally decided today to post my scores from the past couple months. Which is the only reason I came into this thread today, I usually just wait for the Collectorcast to get caught up on the scores. There's no free Color A Dinosaur, but maybe, just maybe they'll be worth a few seconds of Collectocast air-time.



I first spotted the NES games under a table at a garage sale with a "$1 each" sign on them. I pick up the box of them and discover the GameCube stuff under them. So I ask how much for all of it. The guy pauses for a few seconds, but I throw out a "$20?" at the same time he says "$10?". I tried being reasonable and offering $15, but he insisted $10 was fine. So I paid it.





This was a sort of similar situation. I spotted that brown plastic/leather Commodore cover on top of a box, I lift it up and find the C64 under it. I ask how much and a woman said $15 for each box. I then notice two other boxes sitting next to it, I look inside and find more C64 stuff. But $45 was too much for me, so I said "no thanks" and closed up the boxes. She responded with "what would you pay for them?" I said I'd give he $5 for everything. She didn't like that and came back with $15 for it all. I came back with $10, and she agreed. On my third trip back for the last box (the boxes are surprisingly heavy, so I had to carry them one at a time, I later discovered that weight is all in those disk drives) she asked me, "so what is all this stuff anyway?".

[engel762]

Nice!  I've still got an eye out for a C64 or something along those lines when I'm out fooling around, no such luck yet.  Grats on the cheap finds!
