Title: WTB arcade duo
Post by: 780racer on November 28, 2015, 06:28:08 PM: I am looking to pick up a arcade duo cart for a friend for Christmas. Saw they were about 70+ on ebay, and he only needs the card, not the case or anything. Was wondering if yhey can be gotten cheaper than 70 off here is someone has a spare for me to give as a gift to a fellow Duo player.

Thx

Also thanks for the alternative places to shop online.

Edit: ok I have to pump the brakes a little bit. I have bookmarked those sites for later.

Hahaha! If I ask for retro stuff for Xmas, my girlfriend refuses to wrap it. One time she did just put an unwrapped game in the stocking. I can't even give her a list of games I want on Ebay, she just won't do it! I think she's afraid she won't be able to guage the quality or know if something is missing or whatever. So I can only really ask for new things from her. Shame, I have some easy GB games I would love to have. Turbo is another bag of worms I'm afraid, which I why I jumped on the Secret Santa thing here! My first TG-16 came at Christmas too so it's fitting. Gonna be fun.

I totally agree I bought this myself and she wrapped it. Like SignOfZeta said I have waited 20 years what's three more weeks.

Post by: 780racer on December 01, 2015, 10:41:17 AM: Yeah. Looks like I might be giving him a IOU or something until I come across one for less than 35 shipped. *Shrugs*

Could be worse.

Post by: 780racer on December 05, 2015, 03:24:03 PM: Welp.

My Arcade card apparently is shorted... SO I need a new one as well.

Please let me know if anyone has a spare. That would be awesome. TY
