    106 replies, posted
I collect retro games and consoles as a hobby. In the weekends I go to yard sales and flee markets. Sometimes I post adds on my local facebook second hand pages and found some decent stuff for the right price. I met a guy online a couple of months ago, he used to have a electronics shop in the late nineties and still had about 40 dreamcast controllers new in the box. Needless to say I jumped right on it and bought them all for about 200 moneys. This guy said he would look around if he could find some more gaming related stuff and would contact me if he had. Sooooooo... A week ago he called me to say he found a guy selling about 150 gameboys. I was like holy fucking shit what??? This had to be my luckiest day ever! The price was very very good too. I bought them all and now they are sitting here in my room. I'll probably give my friends some for free and keep a few for myself. The rest I'll be selling on eBay. Best day of my life!

Make a huge artwork out of them. Get 150 copies of Pokemon and display one Pokemon on each Gameboy.

Oh my god!
[QUOTE=Avvy;46390720]-im bad at reading-[/QUOTE] Unless I'm misreading somewhere he doesn't say anything about the price of the GBCs past that they were a good deal. He says $200 but that was for 40 Dreamcasts so I'm pretty sure you aren't bad at reading.

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay?
Yeah

Now you can farm for Shiny Pokemon on all of them like a fucking pro

Looks like a factory picture or something, that's crazy.
Testing all of them was a pain in the ass though
[QUOTE=kirederf7;46390876]Testing all of them was a pain in the ass though[/QUOTE] Honestly the sound issue is probably really easy to fix, might just be a loose connection on the speaker
There's something really pleasing to the eye about the way you've laid them out in your photos. I just keep looking.
Shall I make a wallpaper out one of the pictures? [editline]2nd November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Mikesword221;46390902]Honestly the sound issue is probably really easy to fix, might just be a loose connection on the speaker[/QUOTE] I hope so, I bought the ones with sound issues for 1 buck a piece.
What are those 2 in the last picture?
Those are nintendo Game&Watch, these are pretty rare, the ones you see there go for about 150 euros a piece.
[QUOTE=kirederf7;46390818]I payed 400 for them, with the game and watches and [B]70 games[/B]. About half of the gameboys have some sound issues.[/QUOTE] And what are the names of the 70 games? If you don't mind if I ask you a question.
Not enough.
Donate them to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=X5j_EcmRvaI#t=48]a good cause[/url]
Seriously how much for those yellow Pikachu ones?
Yeah I've gotta be honest, I'd probably buy one of those Pikachu ones.
What would you play if you had 150 gameboys?
150 gameboy games obviously
