Wow! This is crazy Steve. This game was once mine. I know it's mine because I am the one that tore the printing off the box exactly like it is now. I bought this at an auction house for $80.00 in Iowa, because there was one gaming game bidding against me that had an idea of its value. Otherwise, I would have got it for next to nothing. I tore the box when packing it after I sold it on eBay. A piece of tape accidently stuck to the box while packing it and tore the printing off. I even saved the piece and sent it to the buyer. I got $180.00 for it about 5 years ago but, it worked fine at that point. Blows my mind that after all this time it ends up with you fixing it on one of my favorite RU-vid channels. This is to cool!! Thanks Steve!

@@GenghisClaus idk about that but something similar-ish that happened to me also blew my mind XD Some dude sold me bunch of PS2 loose discs which had photoshoped listing photos showing less damage on the disc then it actually had, and he obviously refused a refund or at least half money back. Maybe a month later I made a listing of a console lot and accidentally had those same discs on the side of the photo I didn't crop it, so some dude was spamming my inbox how he want specifically those games and begged me to sell those. I already had an idea that he isn't the brightest one and said whatever I let him have it. The thing is I already kept few that I could resurface while sold the ones that are completely damaged, turns out it was the same guy I bought them from and he later kept messaging me about how he couldn't believe that he bought back his own games for double the price and even some I kept XD If that is not karma then idk wtf it is XD I usually avoid selling junk unless it's basically shown and listed as busted, but this time my instinct told me just do it and I am glad that I did. Another odd one was that I had a bed that I at one point repaired and customized it and eventually sold it maybe 15 years ago only to last year find it listed and my mother was one who found it, she asked me what do you think about this bed, looks custom and it's quite cheap for a custom bed, to which I laughed and said that was my bed and I am the one who customized it too XD I still have the mesuerments what materials I used etc all the data about it so If you want one just like that or even better one I will make you one for free :D She eventually bought something else in the end but it was an interesting experience that my custom bed is still alive and well people using it after all these years :D

@revengenerd1 2 месяца назад

If I may ask what happened? I broke my leg in multiple places a few weeks ago and was in hospital 2 weeks and was only released as I was given twice daily people to wash dishes and put food in microwave sadly that has ended and so I am going a bit crazy as can't leave house as live in an upstairs apartment and have to pick up a prescription somehow and post some items. Basically sewing any holes I find in old clothes, tidying what I can (whilst sitting on a stool) waxing a old leather sofa I want to give away and basically have severe insomnia and the painkillers make me a bit crazier.

@@revengenerd1 hey there. So sorry to hear about your condition. I have a rare disease that stopped the blood flow to both of my hips. They are slowly dying and in the last year I went from riding dirt bikes and lifting weights to using a walker to get around everywhere and in intense pain. Im in my 30’s. I had my first hip replaced yesterday and I’ve been walking on it here in there with a walker and help. I understand what you mean by not being able to get around on your own. I am very lucky to have someone here to take care of me and help me get in and out of bed into the bathroom. I also understand what you’re saying with the pain medication. Just do your best and hang in there and it will get better. I’ve had lots of surgeries and you have to get over that first initial hump! Good luck my friend.

@revengenerd1 2 месяца назад

@@PhD_PepperI have the walker myself, nerve damage meant it took a week after surgery for me to even be able to stand, didn't get out of bed for 4 days, I am in the UK and was basically told use my sick pay to get private carers as I would be saving money not working. I was in the hip replacement ward as that was only one that had a space bed I felt guilty asking nurses to take me to bathroom so rarely went and rarely used the call button.

My little brother had one of these toys and watching you bring it back to life brought back many happy memories of the Christmas that Santa brought it and all the fun our family had playing it.

Steve i just read your post regarding illness. Want to wish you all the best but also that i too had the same diagnosis in 2021. Same treatment, same symptoms. It's tough but manageable. I guarantee you they have mastered the treatment, and you will recover. I'm in remission, since 2022 treatment ended. Regular checkups and some anxiety when they are due but apart from that i am back to 95% myself. The other 5%is learning how to cope with the worry. You have a lovely wife to help and that is worth a lot. I cannot express enough that positivity is key. Keep taking the meds exactly on time. Thank you for continuing with your videos and know exactly how you feel. ❤

@Nobe_Oddy 2 месяца назад

I LOVE seeing videos JUST LIKE THIS!!! where you pick up a broken piece that's old and (semi)collectable, fix it up after going over the condition and also fixing the defects/damage (like the sticker peeling up a bit) and then selling it for a profit... There are a few channels that do this, but I don't watch them because they aren't about fix the electronics - they're just about fix iy up and reselling.... So if you were to include YOUR buying price and what you SOLD it for then you'd have the FULL CIRCLE and THAT is what's appealing about THSOE videos.... so you'd be COMBINING those type AND your typical electronic fix..... That would be a REALLY COOL addition to your channel occasionally... like a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly special episode... And you go over all/any of the sales that have happened with those specific collectable just on the 'special episode' (I'd say you do it bi-weekly, buy ON TOP of your typical uploads.. (but you CAN'T change your existing schedule because then you might upset THOSE viewers that look forward to Friday because thats when TronicsFix uploads his show.... you know what I mean?)
