    >>He will be poor after he pay's the ebay fee for listing at that price.
    But the potential for getting wild card bidders is much higher on ebay than any other auction site......newbies are a dream come true sometimes...you can't beat the audience on ebay.....love or it or loath it...

    All the best Yakumo!

    The potential for dead beats and time wasters is also higher thanks to questionable way the site is ran and maintained.

    If people gave themselves more options then it would only make for a better marketplace, But while people continue to champion a site that doesn't actually care or understand the items listed on the site nothing will move forward and charges will continually rise.

    Its incredible the number of times you'll hear about what ebay offers but it always ends up reading like safety in numbers and potential what ifs.

    Was a guy selling 2 rare PS2`s..........both were special editions that had been painted to match the games.....all official promo items.......think one was Medal of Honour and another Juiced.

    As far as I could see there was no mod`s, chips anything like this but they have both been pulled???

    Of course you won`t be able to get an answer and I imagine the seller is a bit peeved!

    >>Now this looks somewhat....intresting, may be a nice collecting item for collectors
    >>PS i don't know what it is..could somebody explain maybe?
    I originally thought it was as assembler package, but it's a basic compiler.......I have it for both the spectrum and C64......nothing special alas....(Clearly I've never even used it).....

    Its a good idea to list any items only on one site at a time other wise it will cause a bad situation for you if you happen to get bidders on both sites.

    No, sealed in a shop wrap cellophane. I don't think genesis games came with the sticker, but I could be wrong. Also iirc only the later cardboard box genesis games were sealed, factory sealed that is. A lot of stores though did shrinkwrap their games when they got them in new and the sealed ones I have are examples of this. So they are new, and sealed, just not sega sealed. (or at least that's my understanding of it)

    PS I love warsong too much:)

    ah ok, it's also a common technique for some bastards to rip you off ;) they shrink wrap their used game and voilá, here you have your "new" game ;)

    Oh yeah, you gotta avoid those. Fortunately these are from a trusted source, and I opened one of the warsongs to play on:) (and it was new)

  16. U.K MD games definately had a little blue, oval shaped, 'SEGA' security sticker on 'em.
