I swear I want to send this guy boxes full of paper plates covered in feces. If you are going to charge the retarded full price for a working Genesis power brick, you had better damn well make sure it works. I hate when retards waste my time.

Doesn't look too bad, OP. Never liked Genesis myself.

genesis is common as dirt. you should be able to find them at thrift stores easily. However dont go to Goodwill they charge extremely high prices for the shit they try to sell.

$30 for a boxed complete megadrive 2 is a fucking great deal, mate.

From the looks of it, it only needs some cleaning, perhaps pair it with matching 3 button pads and you can resell it for three times as much easily.

I have one of the black and white 3 button pads. these d-pads work just fine though and the mappable turbo and shoulder buttons are convenient. feels like a deal.

Not him but most of the 3rd party bricks are chink shit that doesn't supply enough amps and will damage the console over time.

Also if they're really shitty you'll hear a buzzing noise from the yamamaha sound chip because it's not getting enough voltage.

What these two said, plus I'm getting an everdrive for it and they are very sensitive to power bricks that aren't up to spec. I would consider a 3rd party brick, but all the ones I've seen don't give 9V 1.2A DC. Hell, I haven't seen one that outputs 1A yet. I've seen a few that boldly proclaim they only give 350mA.

And so I find myself trying to buy $20 OEM bricks on ebay. Half-way tempted to try my luck at the used game store in town, but I doubt their prices will be any better.

That's a good reason to overpay
