If my house burned down in a fire, whether or not my vintage hardware burned down with it or not would be the last thing on my mind.

Wow, awesome blog! Why is this the first time I'm hearing about it? Just started from the beginning 😀 You have to update Feb 10, 2010, 3 photos have broken links 🙁

Awesome Idea in my opinion. If you can alphabetize it and edit as new entries come in, that would help a lot! 😀

Nostalgia. Fondly remembering my grade school and high school days. The era of 3dfx coming into play and eventually dying out with nvidia taking over 32-bit graphics with the TNT2. After that (those were my high school days) I drifted away from gaming be it because of college, 3 part time jobs, a …

F*CK!!!! Now you are telling me? I have already recycled them yesterday... How much did I lost? I thought that only Voodoo cards have some value nowadays... I feel so ashamed :( At least I have managed to make some better pictures... How much could it be worth? Now we're telling you? You got …

It's unfortunate the blue card has 2 bulging caps though. I happened to be looking into the fx5800 yesterday and apparently none were being offered for sale neither locally nor on ebay. That card is legendary (but only if it has the original cooler still mounted on it :P ) Those caps seem easy to …

Guys, doesn't the first card look like a Neon 250 PCI verion? In which case it should actually be pretty valuable? I'd love to trade you for this card 🤣

Can someone elaborate on what is being discussed here? I'm a US seller and sell internationally on ebay all the time. Whenever i create an auction, I don't see any GPS options when it comes to shipping. The only international options I have are through USPS (be it priority, first class, express)?

But...but...the original MT-32 is so tempting......with the nice LCD display with cute messages by the game designers (like Sierra)... Haha, exactly! Maybe I can bend the rules a little. ;) You really need three: - MT-32 (Old) - CM-32L - SC-55 Looks like this is the preferred choice. One more …

Hi All, as the topic states. If you could only have two of these what would you get to be able to play most popular old games. Price not being a concern. (For example, the MT-32 has a display for SysEx which is nice but is it that more desirable than for example what the cm-500 offers) - Roland LAPC …
Re: Ebay rant again - how to deal with buyer

Open a case. Refund the $ and receive an eBay fee credit. Do not waste your time. I ended up opening an "unpaid item case" and 4 days later the seller asked to cancel the transaction altogether. So I did. Had more bidders on the original auction so I did a "second chance offer" to the next guy in …

Jan3Sobieski. I know this may not be a solution to your problem, but have you actually just tried to go to your local post office and have them confirm the actual final shipping price? Sometimes, I have found that when you do that, the post office will give you a different rate than what is listed …
