As I have stated from the beginning I am not interested in keeping the GD-R. I am willing to sell or agree upon a fair trade with whoever decides that they want it. I can post pics if anyone needs them, but I suspect that there are some floating around here somewhere. -ServiceGames=-
I'm still interested in it, however I'm not willing to pay the origional amount. especially since allot of us made an donation for it. Do you have msn? Maybe we can arrange an trade or something like that.
Wombat, I'll get on MSN when I'm home from work so we can talk it over. Polak, the original price that I paid was $1500.00 It's really up to you and whatever you value it at. PM me with an offer(any offer) and I'll let you know. -ServiceGames-
$1,500 for a game that was PUBLICLY available that could easily be burned onto a GD-R, whoever owned the discs and devices?
Yeaaaaaaaah.......... I'm pretty sure that mine is the original GD-R, SINCE I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE PUBLIC RELEASE!!!! Anyone who is seriously interested is welcome to make whatever offer that they want.
I spoke to him on msn I think yesterday... So he's probally just busy... but as far as I know he is interested in selling it
To be honest here, I do want to sell it. I just don't think that it should have dropped in value quite this much. I don't expect to make a million here, nor do I expect to get to close to what I have paid, but I would like to get more than a third of the original cost. So for the time being I am going to continue shoppping it around until either I get a suitable offer, or I just decide to put it on the shelf as a fond memory.
I think people not interested in making serious offers should probably just refrain from posting in this topic. This is pretty much THE holy grail of unreleased Dreamcast games - as Paulo said, without the compression and such that graces the CD-R release. Service Games has said he doesn't expect to get the $1500 back entirely, but is willing to negotiate. However, offers of a sealed SMB3 or even $4-500 are pretty ridiculous if you think of the significance of this item. Just my thoughts.
I think 400-500 for a high demand unreleased dumped prototype is about right on the mark. NES california raisins sold for close to this ammount after it was dumped. The pre-dumped highest offer on that one was 4k ! Adam
PhantasyStar: Like Paulo said "erm no his version isnt hacked away and the files are still in the full uncompressed versions...."
Also, like GSL said, there is significance to this item. It is the originator of all the cd-rs out there. If its significance means nothing to you, then don't bother posting here.
