Found a Saturn Twin Stick on Vinted for 20€. For that price it’s easier than hauling home from Japan
Bought 70 Amiga disks for 10 bucks. Seller tested a few and found errors but surely they can’t all be bad
In other news, I need to stop buying Amiga disks
The DSPico has rekindled my love for the DS. I’ve had this beautiful matte blue DSi for some years but never had a Flashcard which works in it.
This machine is my perfect portable size. Nice screens, not too big and the texture of the matte surface feels great.
Ketsui DS
On an emulator
With a full sized arcade stick
You can’t change my mind
13€ let’s gooooo
I find it fascinating that Famiclones were so prevalent in Poland that today when trying to sell a genuine Famicom, every seller labels it “like Pegasus”
Pocari Sweat: it’s got what plants crave
i bought a lot of Amiga games for 10€ for Fate of Atlantis not realizing it was “Komplett in Deutsch” but there were a few nuggets in here like Sim City. oh they threw in a equal stack of PC floppies which i found upon arrival.
Still Indy in German is a score
This lady is selling a lot of memories
I even used a 980 until I sold mine for a good price. Now I’m back to a 960 on my xp build
For filling the endless void inside you?
That is true and you are doing great work, thank you for this project. I think I'll hunt down a UK contact and arrange some forward shipping.
I'd love one of these but the pencil neck European bureaucrats passed a law and Rob can't ship to the EU. Not his fault!
This is our socialist version of Trump tariffs :/
“White power over ethernet”
Dang, does it come with a hood?
Amazing!
That’s cool! Does it read the disk in one go or read the disk as it goes like a real system would?
Bonus points if the G3 collection is mentioned in the divorce documents
I’m going to open a store right next door called Mr Chow
Makes you wonder about the story of getting these. Were they a lot from say a school or business? Or did he have 10 then 15, then 20 and at some stage he says “what I need is a 26th G3”
My wallet doesn’t have space for 3000€ tho
Marketplace dude in Poland has 26 G3s and need to sell because he got divorced.
Grandpa handed down his floppy disk stash to me last year and I am also set
So after a long ass time i finally reworked my first update pack i ever released, the one for Windows 98.
I learned so much since i made that thing and i finally had the time and patience to bring it up to my current standards. As a bonus 98 FE is supported now too.

The OG iMac was a recent pickup, the CRT is gorgeous and it’s a real novelty to adjust CRT geometry inside the operating system settings.
I love the Lego Gunship and once we have everything setup id like to display it in our living room
I bought the Mega CD for 150€ about 10 years ago.
Vinted puts it at about 250€. eBay maybe more but risky shipping. I’m need to test it all too. It worked last time I tried it but that was close to a decade ago.
I do want to begin to sell some of this. Once we are settled I can start sifting through this box by box, looking for what might sell locally, what might sell on Vinted and what I (shudder) need to list on eBay for the best result
What a shrine to depression and a little extra income
My family is moving house and I elected to put the majority of my retro gaming collection into my container.
Usually I squirrel and Tetris things into every hidey-hole. Sobering and somewhat overwhelming to see it all stacked up in one place.
Only cost me 20€ too! That’s quite good considering the floppy alone goes for that much on eBay.
Another guy was selling boxed XP for 60€ but I didn’t bite. The nostalgia for XP is big but by that time it was all OEM for my work, so I barely saw the boxes
