What's funny is the seller's name is "tmcowboy" or something. And that unit definitely looks like it has seen a rodeo or two in it's day.

broken in to to do some sodering

Hey chief, they're called screws (and most people spell solder with at least one 'L').  Check out that "4 way" tap.  What'd he do?  Break into a five player tap and de-solder one of the controller ports?  :lol:

Isn't there a real actual 4-player tap for PCE? :P

I know for sure that there are 2 and 3 player taps.

Haha, WTF are people thinking? It ended at $20.15 with $15 shipping... I would've just paid a little extra for one without the electric tape!

It doesn't just stop at the TG16... He puts up Earthworm Jim and adds a power supply to sweeten the deal.  :lol:

Hahaha, what the heck? Do you have a link for that auction? I want to see if he kicked up the shipping a bunch just to make it look like he's justifying the extra shipping cost of the AC. I guess he just doesn't want the damn thing anymore.

Here's a pair of his auctions with shared destinies: Yin (http://cgi.ebay.com/Sega-Master-System-Game-console_W0QQitemZ270157370861QQihZ017QQcategoryZ62054QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and Yang (http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-lot-of-Sega-Master-System-games-controllers-etc_W0QQitemZ270155072782QQihZ017QQcategoryZ62053QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).  At least he's descriptive and doesn't appear to be trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

Thanks for the links. I was wrong, looks like he wasn't overcharging shipping for the Earthworm Jim + AC auction. I guess he just really doesn't want to keep that AC lying around!

And lol at the broken Master System auction. The other auction was pretty impressive though.

How much do the Sega 3D glasses go for these days? Assuming his pair works, that is a pretty sweet item to get in this batch.

I think that they go for around $50, a year or two ago, I saw them going for double that, haha.

Although ebay does have amazing deals, sometimes you stumble upon auctions that just make you think the seller is retarded.  For instance, I saw a Sega Saturn S-Video cable on ebay for 99.99.  I contacted the seller to see if they made a mistake, you know the cable really should of been 9.99, but they actually believed the cable was worth that much.

I think I paid around $20-30 for my loose pair a few years ago.
