Because the Zimbabwe currency hyper-inflated in the 00's until they finally went so far as to have to release trillion dollar denominations of their money.

The currency was abandoned in 2009, they're worth only as collector's items now.

edit: you ruined all the magic by making me explain it :(

Got it from a friend for much less than the real value because box is borked and so on, the thing works perfectly though. =o


Awesome, I still feel kind of sorry about selling mine.

I wish mine didn't break.*

*Analogue stick on the left controller stopped working and would permanently point up =[
 
Steel battalion is such an epic game. I remember when I bought that beast home.

Still have mine actually and a xbox just for this game alone.

I got this little gem today:

I'm trying to work up my DOA collection but I was kind of annoyed when I saw that the spine card was missing despite it being in the photo and description of the eBay auction. I bought a higher priced copy specifically for the spine card. =\

I love fanservice but Highschool of the Dead was a bit too much for me. My anime viewing has died down a lot over the years though and it pretty much takes something amazing, or giant robots to hold my interest. /ucgundambias /spiraltotheheavens
 
Found a nice smaller Sony Wega Trinitron on Craigslist for my old consoles:

Also some unrelated crap:

It's more portable than my Blast. I'm finding all sort of stupid uses for it! :D

Chicks with muscles and funnybooks. Two things I love in this life. The Women is photographed by Bill Dobbins who also did the Schwarzenegger bodybuilding encyclopedia. So it's a good anatomical reference.
 
Found this today in a thrift store for $45 bucks. It's complete even with the collector's box which is amazing for Lego stuff that's been donated.

Excellent pick up.

Thanks.

I have been searching high and low for two years now since I let a similar model slip through my fingers at a local thrift store.

Now I need a good component video switch box. There's only one component input switch box. The TV only has one component in.

RAINBOOOOW!

Not goods, but an epic pickup nonetheless. Moved into a house recently, now we can finally own a dog!

This is Daphne, she's a Great Pyrenees mix, the place we got her from said her parents were Pyrenees on one side and Golden Retreiver on the other.





About 13 weeks old now, already 18 lbs or so. PUOTF.

Why does the female dog have a penis? So confused!?! (I'm sure you furry lovers can explain)

Congrats either way, more pets in this thread = winning

Bought a PS3 back in Feb or so, but I kept forgetting to get Uncharted :(

Finally got it from EB Games/Gamestop for $20 after tax and everything was in tip-top condition. So, :)

I also bought Uncahrted 2 through Ebay, so I'm still waiting on it to be delivered (Stupid Canada Post and their strike delayed all of my mail and packages, ugh).

That is great and expensive!
It wasn't that badly priced...just over $200. There is a smaller one that is less than a $100 but not quite as impressive. The one I got is big enough to help define a room, though. They have some bigger ones that go to $500-$1500 and are just mind-blowing. My favorite was the "test rocket" version that was about three feet high, but woefully out of my price range.

Good choice. I've had my leatherman for years.

They are super handy.

I carry the Blast in my Action Pack™ (it's the less portable Batman utility belt) and it gets plenty of use.

The micra is smaller and more useful than the Gerber blade I used to carry. Which I had to stop carrying around after someone I lent it to used the wrong damned side as a flat head screw driver.

Who uses the blade?! Especially after I demonstrated using the blunt end.

Oh well, my fault.

I've been working on getting the best cables for all of my older consoles. Currently I have component for my slim PS2 to cover PS1 and PS2 games, component for my Wii (+cube games), a VGA box on the way for my Dreamcast, and this is the most recent arrival:

I'm not entirely sure how compatible this is in the PAL region, I don't think I know anyone who ever owned anything better than a SCART cable...Was this a wise purchase, guys?

Compared to SCART? Yes, infinitely better. I do have one, but I prefer to use the XCM3 cable so I have fewer cables (I have all the compatible consoles hooked up to it).

...I should definitely have just bought this instead, oh well!

Edit: Seemingly no optical out on the Xbox section of that cable...Purchase redeemed?

Willing to cancel if there is a price drop on the 250gig in the meantime. Really willing, considering that this is only $100 less than what my 20gig cost at launch!

Although does seem to me a better value proposition than the 250gig at $398 as it comes with gears 3 and two of the new d-pad controllers which would cost more in aus than the $150 price difference.
