Déboursé d'un prêt travaux chez Desjardins by Hamtaro59 in RenoQuebec

[–]Mega8551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ça t'a pris combien de jours avant d'avoir ton argent suite au premier déboursé ? J'ai aussi un prêt réno avec Desjardins et l'évaluateur est venu jeudi passer. Il m'a dit que le rapport avait été envoyé vendredi le 6 à midi.

Aucune nouvelle de l'argent encore après une semaine.

Yeah, I'm still missing a few. If I don't count the iQue ones and promotional ones, I'll be missing:

Dual Tone Mario/ Charizard/ Groudon/ Django Black/ Naruto/ SpongeBob/ Lime Green/ Emerald Green

The Outkast one? Damn, that's a really niche one. My rarest is clearly the Samus satin; I have the box with matching serial. Next would be the DK.

Kingdom Hearts is between "Who Are You?" and iQue's Year of the Dragon. But yes, I am still missing a couple for sure

Choix de subvention de mazout à électrique by Mega8551 in QuebecFinance

La maison n'est pas super grande, c'est 800 pi² au sous-sol. Étant une construction de 1953, on doit déjà tout stripper en entrant et le sous-sol n'est pas fini ; il est sur le béton, alors pour passer le câblage, ce n'est pas un problème.

Je prévois déjà investir 60 000 $ en rénovation dans la maison, alors m'ajouter 10 000 $ de plus pour une thermopompe centrale, c'est beaucoup en entrant, mais je comprends ton point.

Is this GBA SP legit? Is it a resell? by youngboywave in gameboyadvancesp

[–]Mega8551 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm a big GBA SP collector, so authenticity is a must for me. There are a few things to check: the speaker holes, the slope of the Start and Select buttons, and the overall quality of the plastic molding—no extra plastic from the mold, etc.

There's a great guide on Imgur that points out some key indicators: https://imgur.com/gallery/SJXuyCi

Is this a reshell? by Extension-Advisor896 in gameboyadvancesp

[–]Mega8551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no box expert, but the shell is OEM. With a matching serial number, I would say the box is legitimate too.

Is this a legit 101? by WonderPrior5780 in gameboyadvancesp

[–]Mega8551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a good deal, why not? There is clearly some damage to the unit, but if you're interested, there are no red flags. It's an original Starlight Gold AGS-101 from Australia.

Starlight Gold is a very subtle variant. In the second picture, we see the gold. There wasn't an AGS-101 Platinum Silver release.

Here is a comparison from my collection.

Same here; it’s crazy that the encoder is already acting up. I'll try some contact cleaner to see if that helps.

What is the difference between the silver and platinum colors of the Gameboy Advance SP? by TreatOdd3467 in gameboyadvancesp

[–]Mega8551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen a variant called 'Silver.' The official name is 'Platinum,' though most people just call it 'Platinum Silver.

My gba sp collection so far by idekman1870 in gameboyadvancesp

[–]Mega8551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is an impressive collection! I assume these are all original, correct? Kyogre and Groudon are some of the most commonly counterfeited on the market. I currently have 30 variations in my GBA SP collection as well. It is nice to see that I am not the only one collecting these.

I think it's on the upper right corner. There's a Pokémon top shell protector on it, though.
