Yellowing can not be prevented you fucking idiot, it's a chemical reaction in the plastic itself. You can slow down the process but it can never be 100% prevented. Something in the fire retardant plastic oxidizes and causes the yellowing. There is an ingredient in their plastic mix giving off electrons and binding with other molecules. Do you even know how science works bitch?

The oxygen in the peroxide replaces the bromine fire redardant in the plastic 1:1 it's not just "changing the color"

It's not like it's going to eat through your plastic, or melt your console like some of the lights people use with retrobright
>Some people would even imitate it or accelerate yellowing to give things a more vintage look.
I'm sorry, but I believe that doing that and anyone who does that is stupid. If you buy yourself a nearly new console/cartridge only to ruin it with yellowing, you've wasted money on the product and the chemicals. Just buy something already yellow. no one wants it anyway! And fuck, the chemicals to accelerate aging are 10 times more volatile that the one used to reverse it.

Its the yellowing. The yellow is actually a chemical in the plastic becoming old and brittle, not the plastic itself, if that makes sense. Its a fire retardant. But as it yellows, it takes the surrounding plastic with it.

I never really know if anything I have is rare or valuable until someone on /vr/ bemoans the prices for the items in question.

Uncommon? Image related, but I imported it from GRORIOUS NIPPON. O noes, it's not in perfect condition. Like Americans give a fuck.

Other hardware stuff? Umm, a few Sega Picos and a mess of games for them, a Game Gear link cable, a Game.com, TG16 with rear cover, a mouse for the Genesis, two NES Power Pads, the Super Scope, the asciipad SG-6... I dunno. I may be moving soon, which will afford me the opportunity to properly organize and catalog my stuff.

No matter how much you polish a turd, it will never be a gem.

i got this old mac computer i got from the school when they upgraded in like the 90's to actually decent computers for the time. i took like 4 of them and made a working computer.

couple of years ago i found out it was a rare mac when a friend found it in my closet of stuff and tried to convince me to sell it to him for 50 bucks. i knew something was going on when he tried to get me to sell him an old mac with less power than my gameboy and wouldn't let it go.

Kids bitching about high ebay prices because they can't tear themselves away from watching Youtube videos hyping retro games to buy something for a fraction of the price in real life isn't really a good indication of rarity or price

>>1864382
If only this were true. And I'm not just talking about coprolite. Any turd that gets good reviews by spastic attention whores is instantly in high demand

I bought a lot of games in the early 2000s after losing my collection MULTIPLE times, but stuff was still somewhat cheap at the time. It was the tail end of the age when people were still dumping 8 and 16 bit systems in yardsales. I bought games because they were fun, and systems and controllers because they were interesting.

Now... I have to depend on ignorance to get a decent deal on even a plain old controller.

It would probably have to be my gray copy of Turok Rage Wars.

Got it from mailing the black cartridge to Acclaim after my friend and I found it impossible to beat the 2 player mode because of some fucking tag the monkey level.

Nice. I barely missed out on the guy selling these on ebay for $20 each from a box he found somewhere a few years back.

Those things are rare? I had 5 copies that I gave away because I hated the game

[Anonymous No.1865569]

It's at my parents because my mom plays the shit out of puzzle games and I hate them, but I think the rarest thing I have is Tengen Tetris on the NES.

>Yellowing CAN be prevented, you know that right?
Wrong. Yellowing isn't preventable. It's not because of a lack of care, it's because it was made shittily. If happens, it was always going to happen.
>Once something is yellowed it's ruined as far as a collector/enthusiast is concerned.
Also wrong. Yellowing is reversible. If all you care about is playability, it's a non-issue. If you care about monetary value, it's also a non-issue.

Nice track record, btw.

I'm not really into getting super rare stuff, but some of the stuff in this thread I really want.

After reading more about Nintendo's history, I want to expand my appreciation of their stuff into the cards. I'd love to get my hands on their oldest cards, from the original daitoryo hanafuda and trump decks from the 1900's to the wartime nationalist cards of the 1940's. And of course some new hanafuda decks that I can use without fear of damaging them.

Does anyone know anything about shopping for super old Nintendo stuff? Some of them are practically antiques, so I'm not sure where to look especially as a non-Japanese speaking American.

It only mask the reaction

[Anonymous No.1865614]

>>1865607
Actually it reverses the reaction.
Plastic that had become overly brittle because of the reaction will gain back most of its original flexibility (what little there was), and the colorization is more than surface deep. This gets all the way through.

I've never liked trying to voodoo magic my PS2 because I have the slim.

>I have the slim
I have the slim as well, but I was able to soft mod it pretty easily with FreeMCBoot.
Now it can play burned and international games.

Also this isn't retro so I'm not bumping.

[Anonymous No.1866680]

I'm willing to bet that the test is still a shitton more expensive though

[Anonymous No.1867437]

I have a Snes 101 with the box and all original cords and controllers
My dad got it for me for $80 so I think it was a great find and probably the most expensive thing I own
As for rarity, I do own TMNT for the nes with the original box and manuals and inserts
pretty happy when I found it all and it was in really good condition too

ASSEMbler is probably the best place to find one at a decent price I imagine, since tons of people on there have dev stuff.

A shitload of cheap handheld consoles with preinstalled versions of Snake, Tetris, Dr. Mario etc. My mom bought them for me on polish markets, when I was about 4. They are cheap and lazy peaces of shit, but literally unobtainable today.
