Another call with eBay. The woman was so focused on correcting "second-hand" to "preloved" every time I said it that she couldn't give me any answers about GSPR. Still can't sell to Europe. Apparently I need Gunpei Yokoi's birth certificate to be able to sell a Game Boy to a lad in Düsseldorf.

Turns out I can't sell to the EU anymore. GSPR regs means that I now need to provide details of a "responsible person" in the EU who can vouch for the safety of every single item I sell, plus contact details for the manufacturers of each of the sometimes 45 year old items that I sell. What fun.

Other enquiries this week. "You got a bunch of Super Famicom stuff in then?" (Yes, that's why there's a bunch of Super Famicom stuff for sale.) "Rather than post my discs for resurfacing, can I just come round? I'm in your town." (Sure. Here's my address. Want a brew while you wait?)

Item priced at £29.99. Usually sells for £40. Them: "Hello would you take 25?" Me: "Sorry, we think £29.99 is more than fair." Them: "£29.98? 😜" If you're thinking of doing this to an eBay seller, please don't. This is the FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK. It isn't original. You aren't funny.

So the play.date is good fun and Zero Zero: Perfect Stop is awesome. Would do unspeakable things for a backlight though. Or a frontlight. Or any sort of light.

Hol’ up and let me just print out this episode of American Pickers for you real quick.

February pickups. Switch games mostly from (sort of) mystery boxes (they know what stuff I like and hook me up) on Whatnot. The N64 titles were gifts. The SuFami titles are from stock. Should probably charge my Switch.

"I would be annoyed if I paid for a full price game that didn't take 50+ hours to complete." Having a job will help with both of those issues, son. You'll have more money and less time. Or just realise that less than a pound an hour for entertainment is extremely good value.

Quit working in an office 15 years ago so that I could get away from the "GOOD WEEKEND? (I'm asking so I can tell you about mine)" bullshit and now it's happening via Slack. You don't care about my weekend. I'm trying to work. I don't care about your weekend. How's about we just skip it?

Had a weekend off everything apart from Only Murders in the Building and Beat Saber. Fair bit away from a full combo, but this old mufucka is getting better. Reference: youtu.be/lJMrbg3vbQE?...

25 minutes. That’s how much of You’re Cordially Invited on Prime I managed to stomach before turning off the TV so I could stare at the wall and think of more humorous things.

Weird one in this SuFami lot. Battle Grand Prix, but it’s in a plain white box with a paper wrap. Moisture damaged, but doesn’t look to be home-printed. Not seen that before. (Pic 4 is the usual box.)

Many because there are two entire boxes of pachinko/horse racing/baseball/football titles, and because ‘most contain manuals’ actually translates to ‘not many contain manuals.’

Ok. Starting with additions to my personal collection. Then some cool things. Then all the non-SuFami stuff, then the SuFami stuff, of which there are two more boxes to come. Absolutely no way I’m even breaking even on it, but that’s cool.

Two boxes stuck at customs. Five being delivered in a little bit. It's a new stock day, yes it is.

I'd pay good money for a Kylie Minogue music pack for Beat Saber. Fucking say something.

That was a truly, truly gutsy performance. Wasn't to be, but the boys put in one of the great FA Cup showings against a club where any one of their players are worth more than our entire playing staff. #ECFC #UpTheCity #proud

I truly, truly can't right now. #ECFC

In case you're wondering, the answer is I just can't right now.

Exeter City vs Nottingham Forest is on ITV now. Just sayin'.

New setup. Pretty sure I’ve mastered cable management.

815 games arriving on Thursday. Another 200 on Monday. For some reason, my arse hurts. Must be from just being bent over and reamed for two grand in shipping and import taxes.

I wonder who Plymouth will draw in the next round of the cup? Hint: It will almost undoubtedly be the winner of Exeter City and Nottingham Forest. At home.

Tomoki Iwata with one of the greatest FA Cup goals of all time. Outstanding.

Just spent half a million* of the company's money on an auction lot from Japan. 50% sight unseen because there's so much. Is the freight charge going to be huge? Yes. Are taxes going to make me cry? Yes. Am I insane? Yes. But fun treasure! (*Yen, because it makes me sound like a high roller.)

And naturally, in selling off all the old stock during January, I've had more non-payers, liars, chancers, general scammers, and people who had no idea what they were buying than ever before. Glad it's over. Normal service of new stock day posts will resume next week.

I didn't think this through. My postman is going to hate me next Saturday.
