teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[esteban]

Some purchase build ups from the past few weeks.  First is the new glass for my pinball machine.  This time with a photo! Next is a new LED display for my pinball machine.  The original one from '87 had outgased.  Next is Mysterious Song, not sure if I ever posted about receiving my copy.  Next is a PCE SS3.0 card from toktogul.  Wicked!

Is that F14 Tomcat?

That's actually the "Hellomoto" pinball game from Motorola.

Somebody else here knows what I'm talking about.

Is it weird that I play my games and masturbate to 'em, sometimes simultaneously?

Molesting your electronics isn't a recommended practice unless you are in for a shocking experience of course..

I got it at EB Games.  The employees said they found them in the back room and were just trying to get rid of them.

They only had 4 at the store.  I don't know if it was there store only or if it was a chain wide thing.

That is the type of thing you buy 4 of when you find it! 

I'm not the reseller/flipper type.  I only buy what I need and leave the rest. 

I collect for my personal enjoyment not as an investment or as a part time job.

Besides each minute spent trying to flip is one less minute obeying

what clash meant to say was..."you buy two and raffle one like galam would have done"

I have bought some well-priced items like spare Vectrex and Laseractive stuff and sold to forum friends for my cost.  "Flipping" doesn't always need to mean at a higher price.

To me I don't see the appeal of so many people in buying an item for say $10, that they can sell for $25 on ebay.  I see games all the time locally for sale with that kind of market value discount, but if you were to take the selling fees, time taken to sell, cost/time of shipping, I have no clue why anyone even goes through the hassle of flipping like this.

If I do buy these duplicates it is for friends/family.  Or, more often than not, I leave the game in the pile and think to myself, "this will make someone happy later when they find it."
