How do you use yada yada in real life? The same was they use it in that episode?

I probably heard it in a movie or a song while growing up and it stuck.

I got PAL copies of Donkey Kong Country 1 and 3, both boxed. Came out to a very nice $69 price.

They could be in slightly better shape, but given what these PAL games usually cost, I got 'em for a song. I was planning to use an adapter to play them at blistering speed, but I was warned that such an idea would be highly risky for the games and my SNES. The sale itself was a gamble. The seller had no sales and 0% reputation when I found her, and she wouldn't answer my messages. I won both items with no competition--probably for these reasons--but my items weren't initially shipped. I contacted the seller today and she apologized for the lack of communication, then shipped 'em. It looked like a scam at first, but I've got a tracking number now and everything, so I can breathe easy. Every seller has to start somewhere, so I'll cut her a little slack right now.
That's pretty cool! I don't actually own any PAL SNES games. I do own a few SFC games. Honestly, I think the SFC had cooler box art than either US or PAL SNES.

was just looking at the prices of some things, and stumbled across this underpriced game, and it's still sealed the jewel case, I don't have enough to buy even at better than average prices, so do your own research, better for us than canada due to shipping anyways

Everything is new and sealed. Some of the Amiibo packaging is in rough shape, but all is unopened. Paid about $95 for it all.

Not my image, but I picked up one of these before I went to work today from a nearby yard sale.
Dunno if it's "Find of the Week" material, but it's complete and never been used.

Don't know how big of a deal this is since I haven't checked prices, but I finally got an Evercade Vs. CIB with the 2 included games and Data East Collection I for 100 shipped.
Pretty excited to try it out and get those Lynx collections
Had a Lynx as a kid and I've really been itching to play Blue Lightning again.
Please let me know if you have any Evercade games for trade or sell.

I had the best weekend for games I've had in a while! First was an estate sale on Friday where the owner was trying to clear out a house for demo work - I managed to get the SNES and Wii lots pictured below for $100 total. Bubsy and Home Alone 2 were both games I had as a kid and, while they aren't great, it's nice to have boxes copies of them. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is an excellent find, too. On Saturday I took the kiddo out to some community sales that turned out to have far less houses than anticipated, but while the odds were slim the finds were good. The blu-rays and CDs were $20 for everything, the Switch games were $10 each, and the Lego sets (still sealed inside) were $5. Not too shabby all around!

With regards to the SNES stuff, most of the boxes are going into my or my brother's collection, but the box for Pitfall, the shown manuals + the manual for Mario All-Stars, and many of the cartridges are available.

Super jealous of that SNES score. If that was me I'd be keeping the whole lot!

I'm certainly keeping the stuff I don't have yet! But I've been very fortunate over the years to have had some very decent retro scores that have filled out the stuff I want plus some a nice collection of boxed stuff.

I picked up a bunch of interesting things over the week, and I might post photos later, but this is the big one. I spent a month waiting for this set to arrive.
image
This was the last big purchase I made for my DVD game project. I found it on ebay, but the seller didn't ship to America. So a friend from Germany told me he could buy it and forward it to me, but eBay wouldn't let me pay with my US gift card balance, so I had to pay real money for these. Then the package arrived at my friend's, he shipped it out, and it was not picked up for two weeks. Then it was, it was sent to the Netherlands, and stayed there for two more weeks... until it arrived last Saturday.
Volume 3 is so rare that there's almost no mention of it online, and I honestly didn't even know it had been released. I figured it was cheaper to spend the money to get all three volumes right away instead of praying vol. 3 would show up on its own. Other than that German listing, the only one I've seen with photos of the actual item was... at an online store from Oman. And it was out of stock.
Playing it is going to be an adventure of its own...

Bought a Xbox Series X for $399.99. Well it was for sale for $399.99 I paid $400. Hopefully I can sell it to help someone out for what I paid else wise I will have two Series Xs.

I missed a "Nintendo and a Sega" at a yard sale this past weekend since I figured a sale that listed "video games" would just have 360 stuff, but alas. Still, I picked up the DS lot for $20, the burger bank for $2, and the XBone stuff was in a free box at a sale around the corner from me, so not a bad weekend all around.

found something last Thursday, but as usual, get iffy waiting. Got scammed once sending money, so now am never sure or that feeling is fresh, and it's lingering. Guess what I don't like about it is that the person had autodeposit on bank to bank transfer (we call them etransfers here) - that was the same deal last time, - and he said he'd take a picture of the package when it had postage, never did. Said his father sent it. I never take pics, so that wasn't it, but he said he would, than didn't. On that note, I inquired if the item was new and sealed, and he sent me pictures of the item (would people really take pictures from ebay or other sources and than post much later trying to get an illegitimate cash from it?). The name he used on fb matches that on the bank transfer. He had some other collectible things at decent prices, but this item was priced a little low. The ad for this might have not been up, and he scouted the used and priced it as such. Or priced everything, than put everything up on fb. I dunno, I'll let you know either way. Hope it comes. If it doesn't, I won't send first again via that method again...or at least really try not to lol. Had some good buys that way. I always think if it's far, the place, someone may send me to someone's house that he doesn't like. I guess people aren't that deranged. What's the point. wasting ppl's time, let ppl waste their time trying to have some fun. My head's a little looney sometimes thinking way beyond the premise
