Spotted by the folks at GamesAsylum, no doubt on one of their regular trawls of ebay, trying to find the rare consoles and games that aren’t a load of broken tat.

“I received this Game Gear from someone who I believe had this in their shed for a while. If you blow on the cartridge holder you get a lovely smell of shed mold.”

Maybe the mould’s from a shed, maybe it’s from Sonic the Hedgehog’s decomposing corpse. You decide.

“Anyway. When this does work (may take a couple of attempts),”

That’s after placing your lips against something that smells of mould, remember.

“there’s a couple of lines through it but it is just about playable if you tip it back – I’d recommend getting this to repair it though.”

Or to research bacterial germ warfare.

“The overall casing is in excellent condition, no cracks or anything.”

But may harbour enough fungi to house an entire colony of Smurfs.
Smurves.
Smurfi.
Whatever.

“No game included – the picture is just to show you how it works but I will throw in the wrist strap and an AC adapter that you can plug in downstairs and still play the thing on the loo – well, it’s not quite THAT long but close.”

A wrist strap? So you can ‘safely’ carry your bacterial cultures around with you without ‘fear’ of losing them. I say ‘safely’ and ‘fear’ like that as I’m unconvinced how safe it would actually be (I’ve seen Survivors, after all) and I think I’d be more fearful of walking around with a large lump of mould attached to my wrist.
I’ll admit the AC adapter’s fairly useful though, these things just eat batteries otherwise. Although introducing an entire smurf colony to luxury of constant electricity supply may not do your electricity bill any favours.

“Happy bidding!”

Because you’ll probably have more fun bidding on it than trying to play with it, should you win.

“P.S. The postage is to cover the cost of sending the AC adapter. You could kill someone with that thing.”

Hopefully a Smurf.

No, Tim or ‘that woman’ didn’t break the site, I’ve been ill.
Or a bit broken, if you’d rather. Oddly, I was working fine up until I broke.
Still, the show must go on I suppose.
Players gon’ play, Haters gonna hate, as I believe the phrase goes.

“Electrical Joblot”

Otherwise known as “Big pile of possibly dangerous electrical crap”

“The majority of these items are customer returns and are not working. Some of the items are working fine but have damaged boxes.”

…and you never know, some of the items might look fine but have potentially lethal electrical faults.

“Please see the following list for details of the items plus any defects.
WORKING BUT DAMAGED
Sherwood Halogen convector oven (chip in glass bowl)”

Why didn’t you take all the chips out after cooking them?
I hate food waste!

“X-Factor lucky voice party box (scratches on mic)”

I suppose scratching on a mic’s better than autotune.
Makes a change for X-Factor.

“FAULTY
Maxim 2kw ceramic tower fan heater (not working)
1kw panel convection heater (not working)
Asda CD Boombox (read disc error)
x3 Maxim slim personal cd players (read disc error)
Futuristix CD Boombox (read disc error)
Maxim dvd player (read disc error)
Logitech S220 speaker system (faulty speaker)”

Like I said,
players not gon’ play, heaters not gonna heat.

“This joblot is ideal for someone who has some electrical repair skills.”

Because they’ll know not to touch any of it without at least earthing themselves first?
