How much is emerald worth? I have one of those

$120 cart only and $450 complete in box. The Video Game Price Charts website may not be the best source but it works to pull up the info quickly. All it does is blindly aggregate sale from Ebay and a couple of other sources, so I'd recommend the ol' looking through ebay sold listings for the most accurate pricing.

You might also want to get a cheap tri wing screw driver to open your cart for board pics and familiarize yourself with an authentic vs fake cart so you can point it out in the listing. Pokemon games, especially Gameboy and DS are really commonly faked and you don't need some jackass wanting a refund claiming you sold him a fake cart.

Ween shows are fun. Their east coast schedule is weird as hell though. I hope they add dates

I saw Ween years ago, I think they were touring La Cucaracha so probably 2008? I only knew the big songs at that time so didn’t know what to expect, but I absolutely loved it. The XL drum solo so that the rest of the band could grab dinner at the bar was a bit excessive, otherwise it was fantastic.

I can’t find the box but I have the manual and poster. Might have to rummage more and try to find the box. Someone’s gonna get a pretty beefy mudkip.

Real talk, now is a good time to sell old games if you got something that's in demand. Even the video game companies realized this: it's why you're seeing a ton of rereleases and remasters of unusual old games on modern consoles and PC. Good luck on finding the box! Lotta kids tossed them, especially on gameboy as it turns out.

Yeah I sold a bunch of DS games last year and they went for what I thought were high prices. I didn’t think Pokémon games were worth anything because they were so common. I’ve been sitting on all the silent hill games. Maybe need to see if they’re worth more now.

Heads up, HEALTH are looking to reprint their self titled album, Get Colour AND (most importantly, I feel) finally release the Max Payne 3 Soundtrack on vinyl. I regard the latter as one of the greatest ever VG soundtracks.

If you don't know the band, here's their bandcamp and they are touring North America later this year. They are one of my favourite bands over the last decade, and they just keep improving.

60 bucks. Shipping will probably be about 10 bucks. But if it's significantly less than that I'll refund you the difference. I already had one person ask so I'll put you next in line if you're still interested and they aren't.

I was hoping this might have some as well:



Haven't closely examined this but it appears to be some kind of very early attempt at playing with stereophonics in the studio. Stuff like this often came with some of the earliest stereos, just to give some impression what you might do with it. Should be really fun to repurpose.



It took me a long time to get some satisfaction that Frankie is not related to Al, although they have made an album together.

As far as sampling potential goes, I was really hoping a film called Pagan Love Song might have some amusing bits, but we may see.




But this was all swept away as nothing after I found the game for he who is and shall be again:









petit choux
Feb 24, 2016

And you can read for yourself how they play with stereophonics here, and it appears they're really using the best recording tech they can get their hands on at the time, Telefunken mics and stuff. I would think this kind of stuff could be pretty easily repurposed.

and yes, MP3 soundtrack is GOAT. Waiting for a 4k remaster to play again.

Here's a couple more I've gotten recently:



I"m going to be the guy with everything by every member of Yes except Jon has done so much. And actually so has Rick but I'm not a fan of him like I was as a kid. I also got this of course because of the artwork. My sister is demanding I give it to her for her upcoming birthday. I'm tempted to make her the guy girl with everything by every member of Yes and get rid of all these except maybe some of the Bill, anything associated with King Crimson. Give her the Asia albums, this works for me.



Far as I can tell, this is a sampler of army radio? Pretty curious.

If it's who I'm thinking of (and it probably is, as I know I've encountered army recordings featuring her before, but I can't find the mp3s right now) - The Nightbird was actually really loving cool, she was a DJ on WNEW, NYC's biggest rock radio station of the 70s, spinning prog and weirdness on the graveyard shift

There's a lot of different ones. It's a 2xLP recording of a radio show. Basically 3 minute interviews with a featured artist played in-between songs from that artist.

Wow, cool. I'm tempted to stop unpacking and just plug in this Ion and check out some of this stuff, but too much to do. Well that wraps it up for the petit choux. And I got the best dollar copy of Handel's Messiah I've ever come across.
