I know the net has everything that ever existed and then some, heck I've got a wide mix of weird only the internet could provide stuff...... But even I gotta wonder where do some people FIND this stuff ?

That card looks like it was dropped into a mixer full of ground up cigars.

grahf · 05/30/2007, 09:02 PM

It was probably in the window of a used game store for years, soaking up those healthy UV rays from the friendly sun.

esteban · 05/31/2007, 10:26 PM

The stupid "M" key on my laptop has been annoying the hell out of me -- it is too "sensitive". Either that, or there are a few cat hairs stuck between the key and the contact.

Keranu · 05/31/2007, 10:31 PM

Haha, that's one helluva typo. I really thought the two M's had to stand for something.

It can't be....

Wait.... It is....

85% NEW!!!!!

Maybe this guy thinks it's just as much of a joke as we do. Maybe it's his eBay store mascot. Maybe he just can't BEAR to let it go.

Seldane · 06/06/2007, 02:57 PM

But now it's listed at 0.99!!!! Offsidewing bought it for ten! Maybe they feel they ripped him off and that the price was too high?

Nazi NecroPhile · 06/06/2007, 03:19 PM

Maybe Seldane's right. The original description was inaccurate and the price was a little high for such a piece of shit (but worth every damn penny). They backed out of the deal to avoid an inaccurate listing complaint, and now they're listing it with a lower price and more accurate description. He's still an assclown, and I still want to murder his children and consume their souls.

nat · 06/06/2007, 05:42 PM

Upon close inspection of the photos side-by-side, I'm not so sure it's the same one anymore.

That first one was a serious mess. I don't think any kind of cleaning materials known to man could make that one look like this recent posting.

If the original was 85% new, by comparison this one must be 234924873647686523% new.

Seldane · 06/06/2007, 05:53 PM

Ha ha ha, you're right. I forgot just how dirty the other one was.

That's DEFINITELY not the same one.

Nazi NecroPhile · 06/06/2007, 06:17 PM

All right, it's a different tap. Side by side comparisons show the the battle scars don't line up, so this couldn't be a freshly shaved and showered 85% new. This tap does look like he could be 87% new (a.k.a. 85% new's fraternal twin).

My first time reading either of them. Competition? I think not. This thread is clearly 85% better than the linked one.

nat · 02/25/2010, 08:21 PM

Holy shit.... Hard to believe it's already been three years since the 85% new episode. My, my how the 2000's have flown past.

I just read it all again. I laughed, I cried, I re-lived the dream.

The truly criminal part of the whole thing is that all pictorial evidence of 85% new is now nothing but a distant memory, for those of us who were there. Without the images, you only get about 85% of the experience.

The ancient stone tap never showed and I got a refund. A truly dissappointing set of events. My Lord is the thread funny...

I am glad to be back and for two reasons. 1) My 9 year old is really into the retro games. Bonk, Super Mario, Bomberman 94, and Sonic. If he isn't playing transformers on the xbox, he wants to play TG-16 VC or the old Nintendo. 2) The Wii has been a real let down the past year with it's TG-16 /PCE VC. So to fill the void I could get a Japanese Wii for $300 or, randomly visit this site for the first time in two years and pick up a minty fresh Duo-RX for $170 that was posted that very same day. I'm not into Fate or Karma, but what are the chances??

In 2007 I thought the Wii VC would eventually have a lions share of the TG gems. Wrong was I and back am I. I especially regret parting with my PCE wireless controller set. But I'm glad to be back!!

Glad you're back.

I always wanted to try the PCE wireless pads... even if they weren't "perfect", it just seemed really neat...

As for picking up the RX after being M.I.A. for two years... well, that was nice.

The original post concerned a $1000 not so minty Duo-R, but that's not important - the good stuff in the rest of the thread concerns good ol' 85% new, which was a beat to hell Joy Tap 3 for $10. And now you can consider yourself 85% informed.
