Had an awesome score yesterday! Our community was doing a community wide garage sale. Went around the neighborhood and snagged a PS4 controller and did not find much else gaming wise that I wanted for the collection. Went back home and stopped by the neighbors house to check out what they had and lo and behold they had a bunch of boxed Gameboy games and 2 systems, just sitting there on their little for sale table. It was about 10:30 by then so they must have been sitting there for 2 and 1/2 hours which is crazy. Picked them up for $50, super stoked to have a few games I was missing and some condition upgrades! Been about 2 years since I’ve found anything like this in the wild so it awesome to see that stuff like this is still out there!

Congrats on finishing the set! Looks great! I started back in to collecting NES a little bit more again. Thankfully I still have most of my heavy hitters still so won’t be as bad.

Bump!

Bump, got Jaws

I first started collecting in 2006 about 2 years after I graduated high school. I had sold all my games I had as a kid and wanted to reconnect with my childhood. I first found digital press and had gotten a lot of all the Mega man games, a nes top loader, snes and some games from a guy, and I met Parpunk there and he introduces me to Nintendoage in early 2007. I joined there and made many friends. From there I got into collecting service center memorabilia in 2008 or so, and started Gameboy collecting in 2010. I was sad when Nintendoage closed, but it wasn’t what the site was anymore and I still had a lot of great friends who I still talk to today . I haven’t been collecting as much as I used to, can’t afford it now. Even games that’s were reasonable are far to expensive. I’ll just wait a decade or so until people don’t cAre about this stuff and I can get all my games I want thenI have nothing but time to get all the common stuff I still need.

Yeah color is not even close. The only duck hunt test carts were found by Earlyworm and all 3 of them came from the same service center in Oklahoma I believe? It was the same place where the gyro mite test cart came from. They all had some numbers painted on the carts.

Hey you interested in a Yoshi’s Story N64 press kit?

Bump!

Bump!

I thought I was the Florida collection. Haha

I got rid of the rope sadly

I love King Neptune’s adventure!

It was funny I got this one and a complete copy of Pools of darkness. I found that one listed on eBay, but was never able to find this one. So I set it aside and forgot about it. Pretty cool to find a gem I had sitting around that I didn’t really even know about.

So I found this copy of Neverwinter Nights a year or so ago at the flea market, and could not find any pricing info or anything on it, all I could find was that it was the first online graphical MMORPG that was ever made. This appears to be version 1 of it as well. Anyone have any info or pricing on it? I found an article from Many years ago saying it was worth $500+. I’m sure there’s some vintage PC nerds here that would know.

Did not work for me , joined eBay in 2004.

Man this thing is awesome! Have you sold it already?

Nope they were the service promotions plus ones.

Yeah first time I’ve seen supplemental newsletters, there were 2 in the binder along with a few other newsletters from 94/95.

I guess not really a set, but a set in a sense that these are all the ones that were made and that Have been attainable. There’s a Policy manual as well, but Otto owns the only one that anyone has ever seen, and it’s similar to the Guidelines manual contents. It’s interesting with these because over the years there were different revisions and update memos that no binder is alike. I think the closest as far as seeing the same info in multiple binders I’ve seen would be the system tech manuals as most of the info in there was static.

Finally after many long years of collecting service center memorabilia, I picked up the last binder that I was missing. Big thanks to Brian Parker (bunnyboy) for hooking me up with the last one I needed, the Advertising and promotions manual. Feels nice to finish this set! I still need the workbooks they used for training but I can take or leave those. Many of these binders are near impossible to find as Nintendo requested a lot of them back when the service centers closed, and many of them did not even need to order the binders, mainly if they did the power swap program, and they did not repair actual consoles and components. In general only the stores that actually serviced items had many of the technical manuals and what not. Some pics for your enjoyment!

Perfect got it working, thanks! I feel bad I didn’t even know that was there

Sooo how do I enable dark mode for the site? My phone is set to dark mode but I can’t find where to adjust that on the forums here.
