    Okay, we all know YJ... and frankly, who cares. But there's all kinds of good shit in the form of Sayonara sales, or even just flat out local shops.

    Here's one I ran across:
    Free Trinitron. This has AV Multi, so you can totally ejaculate in your pants to beautiful RGB. It's in Higashi Nakano (pick up only).

    Nice TiVi set. I was in higashi-nakano just the other day. Unfortunately by public transportation (as almost always).

    Yahoo seems strange right now. There isn't the usual flood but some interesting things have started to show up for cheap. Getting very tempting with the exchange rate (and I told my self I was going to take a break this month). =(

    Well, the economy is a turd right now and has been for a while. I think most people know there's not going to be a pissing match for most items, so they don't bother posting. If they do, it's for what they want for the item. I've not seen a bargain there in ages, other than some DC flyers I got really cheaply.

    Yeah, it's hard to sell on yahoo right now. I had 640 odd viewers to one of my Naomi games but no one bid. It's been like this for a while now :( I'm also trying to sell my old wheels but again, people look, ask questions, add to their watch list but never bid. I'm even offering below the odds first bids and reasonable buy now prices.

    Yep, since the Tsunami things are really bad for yahoo sellers. Many are giving their spare cash to the north. can't say I'm surprised though. I've given a few things myself in the way of supplies and money.

    Yakumo,
    Was it for that one fighting game? If so, that one tends to not sell very well on yahoo (even though yours have the awesome cases). Did you ever sell your Gundam cart?

    Yeah but it's even more odd since the earthquake. Gfront hasn't been doing it's usual auto spam of things on yahoo (just smaller stuff).

    Interesting enough, prior to earthquake Tekken 5 DR software would be once in a while and for a high price, right now there are 3 up for auction. There's also a lot more Model 2 & Model 3 stuff then normal and much of them are listing with really low starting bids. :shrug:

    I shouldn't complain if I find something I want (specially since the Yen is improving some & Canadian is 1.04USD = 1CAN) but I need to cool it on wasting money. =P

    Yeah, that's the one. Gundam sold pretty fast though. No surprise really.
