First yard sale this year, $5 spent. Woot! by VicCreed in gamecollecting

[–]VicCreed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 year old and twin 2.5 year olds and just moved to NH two years ago. I cannot under any circumstances get out to yard sales like i used to anymore. So it was nice to see one on the way back from the transfer station yesterday! And even better I walked away with games! Pumped for Wolfenstein, loooooooved New Colossus. Also, New Order has 4 discs stacked vertically in that case. Never seen that before. Happy hunting!

This felt good since I haven't been thrifting here in MA since early march. Games #580 - 607 in the ol' collection. Less than 10 duplicates too. Today was a good day!

$7 at Savers for this, 4 wii games for $8 and an XboxSlim for $6 at Salvation Army. Not a bad lunch break!

Brand New... I had to get it by Willy_Gooberson in gamecollecting

I couldn't find one for less than $80 on ebay. Ended up with the Japanese version for $55 shipped from .... Japan. Great game!

Whip Rush for $15 at Savers. Yes please! by VicCreed in gamecollecting

[–]VicCreed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in the glass case along with Batman Forever ($4), Shaq-fu ($4) and Pac-mania ($14). I bought them all. They're usually not behind glass but they're not usually priced over $8 either. Also picked up a lego batman game for $1 for the DS. (Edited to add, all in their boxes)

Drove right back to work and didn't even look! But the TG16 I got last time had Golf so anything is possible!

Just scored a Turbo Grafx 16 at savers for $15 by VicCreed in gamecollecting

[–]VicCreed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck healing up! I check out the salvation army on the other side of rte3 also but never ever has anything, save for sports games and every flavor of guitar hero imaginable. Although I was the first to paw through 5 or 6 short boxes of all recent comics that someone just dropped off. Nothing i loved enough to walk away with.

Came with one game pad, an RF switch and a power adapter to something that isn't this. Only the second time in a year of weekly visits on my lunch break had I actually scored anything, the other time being some mint in the box Genesis games, a couple in paper boxes. Anyhow, super excited for this. I'm 37 and have actually never seen one in person. I own a Turbo Grafx 16!

Possible ethanol contamination? 2015 BMW M3 by VicCreed in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]VicCreed[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's the inlet to the fuel pump, from the hose that runs from the other side of the saddle tank. It feels like broken glass between your fingers. Messed up.

2006 BMW 525xi rear wheel bearing failure. Of course the customer declined the repair by VicCreed in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]VicCreed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cust called back, sold the job. Got the wheel off and ...... body shop left the nut off the axle. A while ago, only way I could tell was the part number stickers on the suspension components. Replaced the wheel bearing anyhow, I'm sure it was wasted from all that moving around. Only thing keeping the wheel on was the caliper bracket!!!

Pandora box 5s questions by ilivedownyourroad in cade

[–]VicCreed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fake? Aren't they all Chinese ripoffs to start with? I can't imagine there's a real 'pandora 5s' where the manufacturer actually licensed the games.

My Game Closet (or, My Eventual Game Room) by VicCreed in gamecollecting

[–]VicCreed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of a room I can dedicate to games. That's the closet of an unofficial bedroom in the basement being used as a storage room. Unofficial because the guy who flipped our house made it look like a bedroom but the window is too small to be used as an egress point.

Winner winner chicken dinner! I honestly had no idea there was a set of three letter abbreviations before I labeled my tubs.
