    I bought an MSX games I REALLY wanted new sealed for $299 only to see it 4 years later for $80.

    And I paid $500 for my neo mahjong controller about 6 years ago
    before they found a huge warehouse of them.
     
  2. Brough Metal Slug for the Saturn off ebay for about £50

    Arrived with no back cover, stained frontcover/manual. And the worst thing is, 2 days later a MetalSlug Saturn boxset with the RAM cart was on for £70 buy it now. Gutted. :Hangman:

    well you should know J&L is a bunch of rip-offs... even De Platenkoning in Amsterdam is cheaper (Dutchies will comprehend the graveness of this comment :p)

    Anyway, now we're talking about never-arriving parcels, Trigga 007 once sent me a bunch of good games (JP Samba de Amigo (DC), PAL Sega Ages (Sat), KoF95 (PAL SaT) etc but they never arrived :Hangman:

    Fortunately they cost me nothing but the whole affair awakaned a permanent hate for the British mail system in me :snipe:

    I got lucky one time, actually, very nearly blowing my money on an eBay auction gone mad.
    It was for WipeOut XL (Japanese version of 2097) for the Saturn... something I had been looking for... and this other guy and I ended up engaging in a bidding war that drove the price up to $156, which was my final bid near the end of the auction... I regretted placing that bid rather immediately and already accepted my fate.... when he topped me one last time and won the auction at $158. I was relieved but still disappointed to not have gotten the game.
    Later, I got Mark from markinjapan.com to dig me up a copy of the game and he sold it to me for $60 including shipping. Woohooo! :smt040

    Sonic Jam for Saturn market on eBay? Those were fun times! I wonder how many CDXs ASSEMbler still has?

    Ah, so you were the one who I remember posting on the old board about buying a load of 250 Sonic Jam copies off some shop about 1.5 years ago?

    (nevermind if this doesnt make sense)

    I bought my directly from SEGA. . .along with Saturn Bomberman, SF3, and some other nice ones. . .it was probably over two years ago or so however. . .in the end I got so tired of auctioning I just threw them all up there for like $15 each! HAHA. . .that got rid of them quickly!
