Great set of Pickups as always matey - that tablet looks to have been a great find as part of that price you paid.. thats one thing that I'd like on the iPad is an ethernet port.. lol

@XFile2708 Thanks Marcus! :) Yeah was really stoked on finding the tablet...so many things to try hehe :D The iPad has wireless though, right?...I'm guessing you can get faster speeds wired?

great grab with that tablet man! lots that can be done with that (the screen really did look nice) you can never have enough N64's! looks to be in great shape like you said and having the expansion is always a plus. cool retro game finds also, i really need to get an SNES and thats awesome that you grabbed both models! Wow and the NES Toploader haha what a lucky day for you! I need to get an Xbox too! haha you found a lot of consoles i've been looking for! fantastic grabs! RetroGameTech is cool!

@gibbotron09 Thanks Gib! :) I've been told the HP TC1100 was (is) a great tablet (has a really nice display). The drivers are a pain for some reason, but finally got that sorted out.

Some really great pickups. Nice way to start the year!

@CampbellFitness Thanks!

Very nice finds. I would warn you about starting to mod Xboxs. They are so easy to mod and there are so many different things that can be done with that hardware it can get addicting. I know if I see an Xbox for under $10 I pick it up and just see what I can do with it.

nice i am loving the top loader nes i wish i had one so i can play my nes games but since i dont collect for the nes i will not be getting one unless one falls in my lap for a good price.

Cool tablet, yep plenty of neat things could be done with that. Nice looking N64, defenitely a step up over the other one. Rambo, nice find. Too bad about The Immortal, great game. Nice Genesis carts Woah! 8:00 my view is askew lol. That is one tip top Snes, kudos. Me neither I'm no fan of the Snes Jr., you could probably get a tidy sum for it. A top loader, don't you already have a much nicer one? ^_^ Nice find on the dogbone. Xbox mod sounds cool. Great deal Thomas. :)

balls....I've been looking for a top loader.... Goodwills around here suck.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer Thanks Sid :) The Tablet is going good. I did have a hell of a time with the drivers (grrr...HP lol) but finally got them working and can rotate the screen to portrait/landscape.

@Hushmina Np & thanks :) I use a 3 year old Sony Webbie HD (I think that's what it's called lol)
