I'll get to it. Kinda idling now. Would like more deals, but not searching. Would like something to do and don't have much money, not entering contests. Would like more money, but it's never about the lining of it, rather something to say you're doing alright in this life...haha.

I take it I don't always feel like a vagabond or a renegade, or want to change everything though the world will probably be the same until the last few days, if that's how it goes down, which also means life has had to have fulfilled their source and are moving on up.

I do sell online mostly. I could have a garage sale, but that probably wouldn't do much. I guess it used to run good, when I had lots of deals, and just kept on coming back and listing higher priced items. With all these smaller things, I'm def idling, but for sure, I'll make a $5 and $10 pile from the games I just got, the big 150+ game lot, and prob in time, sell at least 50-60 of them via online. Could list them all online with individual pictures, but prob in time, but that would be tough. I missed a few good deals, a big box one, where some games were worth money, and would have been easier sells for collectors. I think like a collector on online sales that I don't directly communicate beforehand with, but then like a gamer, when I'm dealing with locals. Also a huge jewel case lot, this was HUGE. I would have loved to go through that one, kept on trying to take it from the other person when it was idling for a while, but the seller wouldn't budge haha. Didn't even reply.

The games I sold for $30 were call of duty modern warfare 4, age of empires collector's edition and Star Wars battlegrounds saga. Could have made prob $45 or so from it online, but would have taken a while. I try to be fair locally, but that also means I should go through my list and update prices to be more current and make sales.

It's good when you've got routine, and you want to be useful. Once you get ideas and want to live your life, it's like, come on.

Like yesterday, I was like why do signs not have emoticons or some avatars, or like a pizza place in a sign, having a slice of pizza lit up. World's boring and standard. We're exotic and free and have to align universally before the parameters of this world yield us all into something we love, are alive, and at the same time, are free to be.

just got to listing 3 things out today, yeah real slow

but see the suffering, the first version, for $12.05 USD shipped...it's def gonna sell before mine, but I just want it outta there haha. Buy if you feel it's a good deal for yourself

I just won a cheap Kirby lot with no competition. All this for just under $16:

I was mostly in it for the exclusive KRtDL bookmarks, but the rest is nice as well! The Kirby's Dream Land cartridge is untested, so fingers-crossed it works.

Did a little thrifting, found some good things. Went over to the electronics section and found this hanging behind some controllers. Got it all for $10.

Memory cards... those days were so savage.

That’s interesting. Saint Kirbs

evidently, for the N64 Kirby game, there was a cross-shaped item that used to be a boss or maybe the final boss, it became a meme ever since. EDIT* guess the guy at the game store was just pulling my leg, didn't see any cross-like weapon in Kirby and the crystal shards but did find this write-up someone did on Kirby:

Is anyone looking for JVC X'EYE? A broken one just appeared locally on the marketplace for $280 or best. comes with av cable. She said the issue is it doesn't take power

image

Anyway.

I was walking around my neighborhood flea market last week, didn't find much, but I figured I'd go see this dude who sells power supplies for things to see if he had any 12V Sony PSUs for players. I go there, spot the Bluray player with the right power supply, and ask for a price. He says 150 pesos (about $9) and I hesitate, until I flip it over and see this sticker.

image

I asked if they had any warranty and they said if there's any problems I can go back and get a replacement. So I paid and went home. I tested the player and it works flawlessly, DVDs work right out of the box and Bluray regions are configured with the color buttons on a BD remote. The only issue is that power cord (I need to replace it, it looks spliced) and the remote is for a DVD player, so I hope they'll let me exchange it next Wednesday.

The two top discs are from a trade here, the bottom stuff was about $3 total. Yes, The Minis is a bootleg, but it's friggin Dennis Rodman playing basketball with little people, how could I resist?

Oh, is that why my DVD/BR remotes have buttons that are nothing more than a color?

Those were originally used as special function buttons on Bluray discs. They could be programmed to have specific functions in movies, like saving bookmarks, accessing a special feature, or to act as buttons in set top BD-J games. I have a ton of discs that use them for games. Though most companies stopped using the buttons after a few years.

I also found one BD-Audio disc that uses them to change the audio track.

Nevermind, thought there'd be more action on my fb and Kijiji...guess the lot I bought, I have to do the hard way, organize, picture and list, or I'll be waiting too long. The kids are taking school too seriously, it's not cool haha

Still no action and I'm still not trying too hard at life, but getting there to do more, sometime. Lol. Saw a deal that was close enough and got the pc game lot: for $5 and ds game cartridge lot: for $5. So I spent $10. I thought I could get $10 for rise of nations, at least 10 for age of mythology and then $5 and $5 for the aofe III expansions, they don't come with manuals. That's $25, not sure what the myst game, aspheron's call (if anything) and the rise of nations is prob a $5 game, have a few already in my collection that I'm trying to sell lol.

The ds games, it was the same person, after I saw her ads, so I figured that was a good deal too. Grabbed that too. I have a ds with no hinges or angles to hold up the screen I was trying to sell, but maybe I can play some of these games. Maybe, but maybe not. I don't really game anymore. Meh.

Sony must have reused that case design multiple times or something. I swear I had an older BR player in the same shell.

I also currently own a model BDP-BX650 as a spare to throw into an extra room, that uses the same shell. While it does 4K upscaling, it only supports DVD 1 and BD A (according to the back, haven't tried any import movies myself)

Oh yeah they used two or three different shells for their models.

There's that one, which is flat (I have another model that's a 4K upscaler which uses the exact same shell), one that's got like a mini pyramid on top, and one that has a mini pyramid but the top is on the right side.

Looks like Asian countries got a different top, too. :)

Anyway, I got this in the mail as thanks for helping get a game for a friend:

This particular DVD is an interactive game thing from Japan, for a series called Saiyuki or something. It was never officially licensed or translated to English. It's basically a choose your own adventure kinda deal.

But it DID get an unofficial bootleg version that removed all the interactivity. I'll have to dig for it later on.

Thanks for posting pics. Mario Kart DS brings me back. Fun times that one. Had a great multiplayer.

I like that Riven box.

I wasn't even going to buy anything today, but...

I was looking at some DVD players at the flea market, this gigantic one caught my eye so I dug it out and... saw this staring back at me. I paid about nine bucks for it. It's an LG BH100. I just tested it, DVDs and HD DVDs work beautifully, Blurays not so much (the player is ANCIENT so it isn't compatible with more recent stuff.)

The only issues are no remote and no HDMI. But for that price, not complaining that much.

Now I need a component to HDMI thing...

It says Blu-Ray discs, but doesn't play Blu-Rays? Sounds like a faulty drive.

No, it DOES play Blurays. But at least from my tests, it doesn't like some of them.

I tried Swordfish, it detected the disc as a Bluray, but it spat it out. I then tried The Kingdom. Detected the disc, took a long time to boot to the BD-J menu, but it worked. I just couldn't start the movie because I don't have a remote, and hitting the Play button on the player, while the disc was sitting at the menu, did nothing.

I suspect it doesn't like Swordfish disc because of copy protection reasons. It might need a certificate update so it can read the disc's DRM. (Discs can have updates on them, or they're installed with firmware updates.) Or maybe the lens is dirty, I don't know. I only wanted this for the HD DVD playback, anyway. I got like... six different Bluray players in storage, including the two region modded ones, haha.

Also, I'm extremely stupid and didn't see the HDMI port to the left of the analog outputs. So yeah it has HDMI out.

Randomly stopped in a thrift store and found a 1986 bridgestone mb-1. Everything seems to be in good condition and maintained. Not sure if anyone cares about bikes here but this is pretty cool.
