I was never very good at it but I loved Popeye for Colecovision in the 80's. I have it on NES but I have an old system so its very frustrating to get it started so I usually don't bother with it. I wish they had made Popeye 2 for NES as I would've liked to have played it. I know I wouldn't enjoy on Gameboy as those tend to be clunky. I love Ducktales but playing it on game boy just wasn't the same for me to slow and clunky gamplay. Even still I hope you enjoy your Popeye 2 for Gameboy as its a classic character I wish they would bring back to tv and back on video games. Also it seems every game is listed as Rare on Ebay making the word meaningless to me. Or the popular word now on there is Authentic.

Authentic I can at least understand putting it in there with all the fakes out there. I'd be taking board pictures if I was going to sell on eBay these days.

You get a lot of people these days that do not know what they are selling and just hit "List Similar" which copies the title. Oh really, your disc only game is complete? Really?

I've been lucky and gotten some sweet deals on items that were labeled wrong. But most of the time it is a problem.
eBay's new listing page on desktop is also pretty wonky, and it doesn't really let you select a lot of item specifics anymore. List Similar is the only way I can get it to pick the right platform at times.

Yeah I'm pretty convinced most people listing do not read the condition guidelines either.

The seller said he was trying to thin his collection, so I’m guessing it was real and he just wants to get it gone for a reasonable price. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen it sell for and it had watchers, so I didn’t have too much time to dwell on it.

Good deal for ~$25 back in 2016, these days it's all over the place, lol. Not exactly a rare game, though.

If you can't pair it with your phone I'd imagine the Bluetooth or something is busted. And when I tried looking up remote replacements they're like 50%+ the cost of an actual Kindle Fire device.... So not worth it
Update: Found an old remote at the flea market, tried it... and it paired with the stick just fine. It seems to work perfectly.
So what the hell do I do with this now XD

Got a deal from a few provinces over. Paid $50, less than the original $25, but shipping was $24 + 13%. Got tracking for it, so it's enroute.
All these games are new and sealed in dvd cases or the oversized dvd clamshell cases:
Assassin's Creed Unity x2
The Crew x2
Rift Storm Legion
Prototype 2
Evolve
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
Guess evolve is the biggest prize there, and will def make me $45 back. And I'm glad to pay $5 for creed's unity and put 1 away in my collection. Than the rest is profit. Seemed alright. Passing on a few deals of late, but may get back into it or find a better deal lol
Just looked at it all again, and seems it's hard to get that much for it with it being at $45 CAD with shipping. Either way, double up and didn't have to go far out. There's lots of double ups. This one shipped, I was debating cancelling, but than I'm like, just do it lol

I found Game & Watch Gallery 4 (loose) for $11, plus a little shipping. Seller was cool.

Great game. Probably the best, and most content-heavy, of the Game & Watch Gallery games...
Man I want a new one on Switch!

I uh, bought a Pi. It was this innocent looking box at the flea market with some cables attached, so I looked at it, flipped the top open, and it was a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with a 32 GB SD card, two HDMI cables, and a power cable. I couldn't get the thing to boot (it just dies after) so I'm guessing the card is hosed and needs to be reformatted.
I also got six DVDs for the project, a Garfield typing game for PC, and a phone charger thing. Eh.

Lots of tools to get you going with either Raspbian or Retropie (which would be my recommendation). Later on if you decide you wanna do the “experimental” Dreamcast core you’ll wanna look up how to do a core/gpu overclock and you’ll want a heat sink and active cooling and get a good power source but it does Dreamcast pretty well once you get it set.

It's just funny. First my best friend gives me that old caseless pi, people here suggest I use it as a media player, then I find the Amazon Fire Stick, and now this.
It's like the universe is making fun of me not having an actual TV to use these with...

Getting something new in. Didn't ship yet, or did, just at work, and will get at me later. Had good feedback, bought it and was going to locally pick up, but when something else got cancelled (someone else was going to buy something off me), it wasn't worth it to drive all that way. It would have still, just that shipping was easier. Anyways, no real clues, it's a brand new sealed game. It might be worth more than a new deus ex in box, and will need some help from y'all to price fairly, but already have a price I'll start it off in mind, prob shortchanging myself a bit, but don't want it to linger forever, it's rare no doubt though. We'll see.

Ok, so got the tracking number. Here's the scoop, he had 2 games for sale, one quake II mission pack ground zero new in box, and a use doom 3 resurrection of evil. I have a doom 3 I put away in my collection, so decided to buy the 2nd game. Both were $10 each lol. The first, once I checked ebay.ca, I saw he might have saw the price of new sealed in jewel. Did some more searching, and noticed nextremities or something like that is selling for about $250. Ground Zero saw a new uk, $618 on ebay. Saw used in box, uk for 199. Than a used uk for like 108. Prices vary, but I think I should put an auction and put it at $600. I'll make $500, gave the dude $30 for shipping both, it's prob closer to $20 or $25, but I was like whatever. The resurrection of evil is going in my collection, and the new quake is going for sale. The person that cancelled on me, as it was like 25 minutes away from there, and in the area, postponed it. Either way, awesome deal no doubt. Prob my rarest acquisition, and I did have a new deus ex that I sold for way less than it's selling for now lol. Good time to get it. Thoughts, for US release, worth more than $600. I am unsure, but that seems like a fair price and see if I get watchers, than 1 or no bids, if more, score, put it as a buy it now.
Pretty stoked, but may take a while to leave my shelf.

Today, got a new Need for Speed Carbon Collector's Editon with slipcover for pc, for $25 and I chipped in $5 than said $7 for delivery. Wasn't too far, worked out. Will prob make a bill off of it. Seen a Quake II new in box sell for $575 CAD, is the expansion rarer, just as rare or? The $25 deal was available for a while, but no one was grabbing it, and I thought, why not try it this way.

Got a copy of Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!
for just under $15. Not amazing, but it’s nice to get an eBay win with little opposition.
The Game Boy always has something new for me to try. Maybe I can find a reasonably-priced Perfect Dark
someday.
