    Not sure what the hell happeend up there... sorry.

    Anyways, I think I got a good deal here, and the best part - I got it in Akihabara (Trader 2).

    De La Jet Set Radio LE (sealed game and shirt - box in excelletn condition) for 6400 yen. I think that's a steal, as the last one I saw on Yahoo was AGES ago, and went for well over 10,000 -- I already had one, but will not bitch about another.

    Can I get an amen on that one?

    Also picked up Astra Superstars (mint w/ spine) for 7800 yen. Debateable whether that's a "good deal" or not, but I'll give credit to Trader for at least "keeping it real".

    Thought I had posted this one but can`t see.

    Ages ago a guy selling a Bandai Pippin (EBAY.CO.UK)........reserve not met @ £40

    So e-mailed him and turned out he lived 10 mins walk from me.

    Arranged to meet and view....

    Saw in his desk...was Pippin with Floppy Dock....no leads/controllers etc.

    Picked it up....serial cable from the back and the stickers on the bottom of the machine & dock "Sample for Evaluation Only"

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He powered it up and started fine and played music CD`s

    Blagged it to the guy that trying to get stuff for it is a no go as never released here and US systems withdraw and sent to Japan etc etc etc and loads of other B-Shit!!!!

    Managed to get it or £25.




    Sold it on Fleabay a few weeks later for........






















    £475 + paypal fees + shipping to the US

    Re: new shop, good find


    Yds, they do. If you are a citizen of a Commonwealth country. I have done that many times; going out with some friends around Heathrow and London proper dusring my stopover. You simply say you are leaving the same day and they issue you a 6-month tourist visa on the spot the same as if you were to stay any other time period up to 6 months.

    Bought these from someone recently unloading their collecting. Anyone who checks out my forums (hint) or a few other classic gaming sites probably know the collection. Anyways, I think I did well (Ironic thing, is I was the go-to guy for a lot of these in the first place.

    All JPN versions

    Saturn:
    Langrisser Tribute
    Blast Wind
    Time Bokan
    Shienryu
    Cotton Boomerang
    Gekiridan
    Bulk Slash
    Willy Wombat
    Baroque
    Super Tempo
    Legend of Heroes III
    Fantastic Pinball

    PC-Engine / Turbo Duo:
    ------------------------------
    Parasol Stars

    Burning Angel
    Daibouken Danshaku Don: The Lost Sunheart

    When was this and why? Magical Chase US or JPN is a keeper.

    I'm well aware of this. IMO the US version is more rare than the JPN version.

    When was this? About 6 years ago.

    No opinions needed... it's a fact as far as I know. The US release had a really small print run.

    Okay... not as bad. Thought it was more recent.

    I got an SNES and games for free, and they still work great, also i got an Atari 5200 for free as well, not like anyone wants a 5200 anyway. Also, my cousin gave me about 20 great condition NES games for free as well. I basically got my Sega Saturn for free, made a "good" trade with some guy that didn't know anything about games. Last but most definentally not least, i got my Neo Geo CD for $80. I also have access to a few pawn shops with owners that know absolutely nothing about games, so i can get some rare stuff for a low price some times.
