you see people never tell you this but its not only the monitor, you need some cards boards from it and it cost a ton of money

>>4436660
MONITOR CONTROL UNIT?
ADAPTER MODULE?

or just the pvm?

>>4436662
Yeah, you know this guy's trying to appeal to the "retro gamer" cuz he's got pics of Wild Guns and Super Mario World up there too. I mean, I'm happy with my current, kinda shitty CRT my dad bought for my brothers and I back in '96, but I'd happily upgrade. Just not for $400 dollars.

Just picked up my final consumer tv for my collection. 1997 32" Sony Trinitron with s-video input. Free. Been looking for close to 6 months for it.

>>4436676
Most people on Craigslist don't know what they have. There's a few people near me recently who were giving away Trinitrons.
I didn't pick them up, I'm happy with my current CRT and how everything works together with my 5.1 surround sound system, but otherwise, you can get pretty good deals on CL.

Some guy seems pretty desperate for a Switch with Mario Universe on mine. Usually I just talk about the old guy with the warehouse full of arcade machines and parts who spams them at too-high prices and isn't negotiable in person, but this guy is more interesting at the moment.

I picked up an NEC XP29 from craigslist a few years ago, pretty lucky find.

>>4436760
Hell, I'd settle for a TV with just S-video hookups. But there's nothing out here in the good old Dairyland. Wisconsin weather is very hard on stuff in storage, especially electronics.

I found one near me for $425 on craigslist. These idiots are retarded. I bought my 20L5 for $200 shipped and even that was too much.

>llection. 1997 32" Sony Trinitron with s-video inpu

Nice find. I have the same TV and enjoy playing games on it immensely. Great picture on that one.

You'll have to learn to solder, this just means more fixable stuff will get set on the curb for you to score for free.

Picked these up from a dude in Ypsilanti, MI inside his disc golf store for $25. Had all the manuals and games in phenomenal condition. He threw in Cruisin World and NBA In The Zone 99 for an added $10.
I asked what else he was selling and he had an untested GameCube with no AV cable and one controller (rubber missing on top joystick) for $15, couldn't pass on that. Waiting on the AV cable, replacement joysticks, and a tri-wing screwdriver to come from Amazon currently

>>4437045
Cruisin World and NBA In The Zone 99 are both on N64 and had the box + manuals as well!

>>4436841
I'm in North Carolina, I know the feeling.
Learn to solder. Helps a hell of a lot.

>>4437046
what game is this, pixel art seems cool

I've been talking to a guy about his trinitron KV-36XBR200. He's willing to give it to me for free, but I'm worried that it's too much TV for me. The fucking thing weighs close to 250lbs. I have a 27in trinitron currently, but I'm not sure if I swapped it out for the 36 that it'd actually fit. Should I do it bros? is the 36 a pretty great TV?

>flatscreen trinitron
Unironically you can get 30"+ curved Trinitrons for free here
With RGB and all that shit

>>4437209
looks like breath of fire 3

>>4436660
Bro, I've been looking at this over a month now a laugh everytime. No one's going to pay $400 for a meme.

>>4436841
Living there myself. It's a great place to find games for a decent price. I worked at a grocery store that used to rent out SNES, N64, PS1/2 games up until 2011 when I bought them from the owner. He sold me 34 games (which included harvest moon SNES and Mario rpg) for $30. Alot of people around here don't even know what they have desu but that the same time l, some do but just want to get rid of it as fast as they can.

>>4437045
All the shit came today. It is time

>>4437902
Just a clueless 28 year old faggot who rarely ever comes here, but why would you want that controller like that? Just curious.

someone a few weeks ago had a JVC X'eye near me for 300 bucks. I didn't see the point though, fancy expensive MD+CD combos aren't interesting to me.

Fayetteville NC craigslist fucking blows. Never anything good on there.

>>4438069
Winston NC here, I know the feeling. Things pop up but you just gotta comb for it.

Someone giving away an X-Men arcade cab by me. I have no room for it though

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/zip/d/free-arcade-game-machine/6410821442.html

Wow how has this treasure trove remained unsold for 17 days?

>>4438246
400$ for shit?

>>4437240

Too heavy m8. I picked one up for free, got it home, it was so heavy I dropped it like 2 inches and it died. Had to pay somebody 80 bucks to come pick it up and dispose of it.

>>4438246
Thunderfox is in there, which is maybe like $50 at best, but then $350 for everything else? Fuck no

>>4437940
if you read my previous posts (I replied to myself) I replaced the joysticks.

>>4438407
When did Thunderfox hit $50? And why?

>>4436760

People give away Trinitrons here all the time
Oh they know what they have, they just don't want to waste time on the meme and ask meme prices for them, they just want to get rid of them

Nothing I love more than sellers who act like they are doing the world a favor by allowing you, a lowly member of the unwashed masses, to buy their old shit that they can't even be bothered to fully inspect.

>>4438069
Do you know this whore from the Ruby Tuesday?

>>4439409
is she retro enough for the board?

>>4439415
she will blow on it before sticking it in

>>4436660
>live in chicago
>3 million people
>never seen ANY PVMs show up
>never see any good retro listings show up

and when one does its always overpriced shit like "retro n64 with two controllers vintage $100!!"
how can one city be so barren for good finds?

>>4439424
KEK

>>4436660
Hey that’s also really close to me! WISCONSIN bro reporting.

>>4436669
What fucking cards? There's no expansion slots on this model. Stop being stupid.

>>4439429
I think there's too many of us here. Trinitrons and even CRTs in general are pretty dry.
