Valkyrie Profile (Playstation)

Valkyrie Profile
Today's Photo of the day also doubles as an advertisement, as it is an eBay Photo of Valkyrie Profile for the original PlayStation console. It's in great shape and comes complete: box, manual and two scratch free game CDs (I take very good care of my games). It's a pretty rare game, and I'm hoping it ends up in a nice home.

The game is highly collectible (because it is one of the great RPG classics) and highly sought after (there weren't that many produced), and sealed it fetches about $400, while completes can go anywhere from $150 to $250. Since I'm trying to get rid of stuff, I'm putting it up for sale.

Broken Time

Broken Time


In the 80s and 90s, I wore a Casio Telememo 30 Database watch. When they first came out, they cost about $70. This Casio Telememo 30 Database watch could be considered as one of the first smartwatches. Not only did it have the usual function of telling time, but it also had a stopwatch, a calculator, a calendar (which told you which day of the week it was) and space to store phone numbers/fax numbers.


This one is actually one of the later versions of these watches, and it has an indiglow style backlit screen. I also had an earlier version of this watch, which was the World Time watch, which had the same functions, but stored 10 less entries, and used a front light. I bought this one when the watchband on the old one broke.


Nowadays, we don't store information on our watches, we store them on our cellphones or PDAs. While in college, I upgraded to a Swatch, and this watch was my backup until it ran out of battery. When I did that, I put it aside into a box, and was rather surprised when I opened the box one day and found that the watch band had completely disintegrated.
