Title: Something I found in my shed...

American Tamgotchi Ocean. From what I hear, they are relatively hard to find, especially in good condition. I just need to get some batteries to try it out.

EDIT:
I have decided to sell him, I already have a Tama I am fond of.

They ARE rare! Woah, you found it in your shed??? I broke the screws on my Ocean so I can't replace the batteries  :cry:

Really? I remember I begged my mom to get this and I played with it till the battery died. My mom packs up all my things and keeps them in boxes in the shed, and she , my fiance and I found this while looking for old ponies and other toys. He managed to find a G1 Transformers Hot Rod, missing the extras for it and just 2 front tired (not the wheels, they are still on).

Nice find! I cant part with toys of any kind so I ll vote no....but on the other hand it could supply you with "pony dollars"....which is always tempting!

I voted yes. The American Oceans always sell for a lot, and their prices have been increasing too! :)

Sadly he it has one minor flaw, when hitting the first button sometimes it fades a line on the screen, but it works fine otherwise so far.

I am very overwhelmed, everyone keeps telling me what a find I have lol Since I am selling, maybe someone can tell me what its worth, with that one little problem it has.

Honestly, and not me trying to get it super cheap, you can EASILY get 100-175 dollars for that baby, even more if people are in the bidding mood.

and that's a conserative estimate

Wow... it doesn have the issue with a line across the screen fading/disapearing sometimes when buttons are pushed, what would the value be with that?

Honestly, probably about the same - that's both a fairly common issue and generally easily repairable if you know what you're doing.

I'm so jealous, I'd love to find something like that in my shed XD

Thanks! I plan on putting it up on ebay within a few days once I get the courage up to.

No problem. :) If you PM me the link when you do, I can post it on the tamagotchi forum I visit, it'll be sure to get the bids rolling in!
