Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

NICE h:

 

Bought a loose copy of Donkey Kong 64 that came with a free "demo" and a "Japanese game".
Japanese game was Pilot Wings, Demo was Ocarina of Time "not for resale" cart

 

NNNIIICCCEEE

 

Today I bought a PAL Dreamcast kiosk complete including the console and the Panasonic Tv for 60€ = 90$ :dance:

 

That's a bargain indeed! :thumbsup:

 

Almost but not quite....the bargain that got away!

I won this on Sunday morning: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=320243115997&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=011

However, since then the person selling it off has not replied to my emails and requests for information on picking it up. Kiff lives locally and was willing to collect it for me.

Nothing...so I suspect the seller was not happy with the £56 end price. This is one of those frustrating eBay moments. OH:

Slip, slipping away!

 

Thats ashame parris if you don't get it as that would have a nice buy.

 

it's looking like a no go mate - was quite chuffed with it myself. OH: Too good to be true!

 

Oh, the one from Hamburg in Germany?

I got a LCD Projector (Sharp XG-NV51XE) for free...found it in the garbage room of our company, took it to my office and tested it...well the LAMP Icon was lightened...so i thought, fuck a new Lamp costs a fortune...well i won one on ebay for around 70 euros. Now, who gets a really good Projector with New Lamp for 70 euros, huh?

2x VGA, 1x S-Video, Chinch Stuff, RS-232 Interface (control and presentation streamed from PC and other cool options) and so on

also got a free Zip100 Parallel Port drive..

 

Got a copy of Atari Classics Evolved which isn't too exciting in itself but it is signed on the front cover by Al Alcorn.

 

Yes, it was the one from Hamburg. I'm going to pick it up on thursday. A 300km. drive each way ^^

 

nice! i almost got his xbox kiosk

we could've met there...would've been funny, but NOOOOOOooo - outbid and forgot, damn

 

NTSC-J PS version of Silhouette Mirage for $20 from Digital Press. Pretty pleased w/ that one.

 

I had exactly the same with this one as well!!!

My seller finally did get in-touch, but it all got rather complicated. A) Not located at the address provided B) He wasn't the owner (but was, not, was! He couldn't make his mind up on this one) C) The mobile number he gave me to arrange collection rang out, never went to answering machine. D) He rarely replied to emails regarding the situation / item.

So, I have the dilemma of whether I am going to leave it and get negative feedback or proceed and put Kiff out further than I already have.

My instincts tell me the seller will blame the situation on me rather than accept he has pissed around.

Bah! Negative feedback ahoy I suspect!

 

Did eBay UK not get the "sellers can no longer give negative feedback to buyers" thing yet?
Eric started a topic about that and some other eBay changes a while ago, the update is also coming to eBay Germany in May.

Edit again: First the XBOX Kiosk now a full size Ridge Racer cab?! Your wife WILL kill you one day

 

Ah thats sh*t parris, looks like your going to miss out on a nice item becuase of a .....(can't think of the word to use) seller.

i do hope that as the title of the thread says Miracles do happen! and you eventually do get this one.

 

I am not sure whether that has hit us yet. I'll have a look at the new rules.

As for the RR cab... she is potentially the most long suffering wife of any of the AG members, perhaps with the exception of one or two I shall not mention (but they'll know who they are).

Even I am now looking at the slowly assembling cab and thinking 'Holy shit!'

It arrived in a few pieces, not all together in one large unit so I think I am a bit shell shocked!

This might become an item I repair and sell on actually lol h:

 

Resigned to this one slipping away! Never mind, with the RR cab to contend with I have more than enough on my plate at the moment.

 

I went to the "may fair" (a fundraiser by a church in my town) this morning, which had a white-elephant sale. Anyway, for about 15 dollars I bought:

Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series + both movies (on 4 discs, its most likely a bootleg [but a pretty professional looking one ^_^]

Factory sealed NFL 2k for the dreamcast

Factory sealed 688(I) hunter killer for windows 95

Factory sealed Tiger Woods PGA tour golf for the Handspring Visor (what ever the hell that is)

The official guidebook to Riven

Need for speed most wanted black edition exclusive dvd

And a ton of DOS rpgs:

Kings Quest IV,
Loom,
The Bards Tale: Tales of the unknown,
the bards tale II: the destiny knight,
the bards tale III: the thief of fate,
the bards tale construction set,
might and magic IV: clouds of xeen,
might and magic V: dark side of xeen,
stonekeep,
ultima underworld: the stygian abyss,

Everything is in great condition (except loom, it seems to have dried blood on) and most of the RPGS came in a box called The ultimate RPG archive.
