    A D40 with 2 lenses sells for well over $500, been trying to win a D40 with one lens on Ebay and even second hand they have been going over $300...
    Well it came with a 55-200mm lens that alone is new and costs 250 dollars and the lens that comes with the nikon d40 kit. Id say it was a solid deal.

    Well i'll post here at a great purchase i've hopefully got from amazon uk's new and used section although i'm thinking this can't be right but i hope it is.

    1 "Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)"
    Video Game; £2.00
    Forza Motorsport 3 "NEW" for £3.94 shipped should be a good deal as normally its 8 or 9 times the price but i suspect something may be wrong here but i don't mind for £3.94 if i at least get maybe a game like Forza 2 if i won't be getting Forza 3 since i was going to get Forza 2 anyway since i need as much as i can to get an Xbox 360 arcade console on its own.

    Turns out i was right about something being wrong, amazon canceled my order for the following reason:

    We're sorry, we're unable to complete your order from this Amazon.co.uk Merchant. We have canceled this transaction and you have not been charged for the order.

    In this case, the seller is currently unable to accept payment. Amazon Marketplace items must be paid for on the Amazon website. Since the seller is temporarily unable to receive payment by that means, please search our site for this item from another seller, or return and attempt to purchase from this seller again at a later time.

    We apologise for any inconvenience, and thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.uk.

    I just got this for 62 dollars with shipping!!!! I'm SO happy. This thing is MINT! I've always wanted a Spice Gamecube, but they're so pricey. Now I got one with the freakin Gameboy adapter and Digital Out!! :D

    I'd love a spice orange GC - I agree that they look fantastic - you got that for a great price.

    I tried to find such a place in Sydney but all I found was one place which had some GBA Flashcarts and overpriced last generation games.

    The local EB dumped all their import Saturn games and I happened by, the games were marked down to ten bucks. So I got about 20 games, one being Radiant Silvergun, hah.

    Arcade stuff count? A free Afterburner someone threw away (was on the corner with the trash cans) that had a blown fuse, and a Journey arcade cab that was sitting by a dumpster. The Planet Harriers for 250 bucks was a hell of a deal.
