I was looking around at modded Pockets thinking that it would be cool to make a SFC-themed one similar to how I'm building my GBA. then I saw this. It's from the first known guy to put a Pi3 in a pocket. Oh yes. I think I need to do this*

*once I finish at least one of the half-started builds I'm currently working on. Who am I kidding, I'm looking at parts right now

@FlyingTomahawk i am completely ok with you shipping the items when you can, but i would really like to pay you at least $60 now so i have the money out of my hands. Im not sure how we are going to do that, but i do use paypal.

We can talk about the price also via e-mail.

@obsidianspider

Guess what showed up today.
Yes, the Mausberry. After exactly 2 months I received it. I almost forgot what I wanted to do with it.

[obsidianspider]

@FlyingTomahawk Oh wow. I still think that they forgot about your order until you filed a complaint with PayPal. It's a shame, but as someone said, there's not a lot of competition for those devices, so they can get away with it. :-/

@FlyingTomahawk I'll take it.

I have a bid in for a barely used, white AGB-001 with a soft case and wall adapter. Hopefully that doesn't get too astronomically priced before the auction ends tonight. Even the back is really nice.

While checking in on things on eBay I decided to look at Game Boy Light (MGB-101) listings, and wow. I thought the "light gray" Pockets were pricey. I think I'll stick with finding a decent Pocket and then backlight modding it myself.

Then again, it seems like pretty much all the Pockets I'm seeing are going for "a lot" (at least $30) if they're in working order where the screen doesn't have bad pixels, isn't corroded, has the battery cover, stickers on the back aren't mangled, etc.

[obsidianspider]

Woo hoo! I won the auction for the white AGB-001! It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but bidding went up at the end, and well, it's the cleanest one I've seen in a while. I think for $30 I paid a decent price considering it comes with a case and AC adapter. Those soft cases are selling for around $8 - $13, and the AC adapters with the battery pack adapter are $20 - $23 right now.

Now to wait for it to come in the mail. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as a Mausberry…

@obsidianspider

Congratulations!
That white GBA looks very good.

[obsidianspider]

@FlyingTomahawk thanks! It's not as cheap as one at Hard Off I'm sure, but the air fare was cheaper 😉

You know, this is all your fault. Haha.

@edmaul69

Just wanted to give you a quick update on your Famicom.
It is packed and ready to ship. I will go to the post office Thursday or latest Friday.

[edmaul69]

@FlyingTomahawk cool. Thank you.

[obsidianspider]

I realize a Switch is hardly retro. But I think I love this.

[FlyingTomahawk]

Hmmm...
Interesting, a retro design switch console.
Not that I ever would buy a switch but the idea is great if you could play retro games on it.

@edmaul69

Did you see my mail about the phone number?
If not, send me your phone number, i need to write a recipient phone number on the package papers.

@FlyingTomahawk If they actually made a SNES Nintendo Switch, I would buy it in a heart beat. Well, if they start up the VC before hand.

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud I can't even find anyone stocking a regular Switch, let alone a special edition one.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider I feel like Nintendo will make a special edition at some point, I think they missed out on a Zelda special edition. I think they should make an NES style Switch and release 3 of them to a random store in Bumshitsville, Kansas.

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud I have to wonder what the hell they are thinking. They've been around for over 100 years. It's not like they don't understand supply chain management. Do they just hate money?
