    Got this bundle on Yahoo this morning:



    280yen (3.56 US$)

    Shipping will probably cost 1500% of that price :lol:
    <- can someone please make this as a repro and sell it so me?

    A boxed Saturn, a boxed Virtua Cop gunset and a copy of Virtua Cop 2? For $3.56 ?!?!? That works out at about £2.30 GBP.

    I need to think about getting someone to hook me up with a Yahoo account. At prices like that you can easily justify soaking up the £35 EMS postage charges. I know these prices will be rare occurrences but nonetheless if you only drop on cute like this once every few months you've saved a fortune over specialist retailers and eBay.

    I was really surprised by this either. CIB Saturn consoles finishing at such a ridiculous price are very uncommon, even on Yahoo.

    But it's true, here's the auction link:
    http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k143659099

    I just hope he's gonna ship it to my middleman, lol. If I were the seller, I'd be rather pissed :p

    Now, for that Amiga I am super-jealous! The accelerator boards alone fetch 250-300 euros on ebay.de ! Great find, I still like those, have used mine for years until changing over to the pc became necessary for me.

    Geforce 2 Memory donor for one of my xboxes: 1 euro at ebay + 2.20 euro shipping (~4.40$ for the card and shipping)

    Also got an original xbox, one controller-s, 007: from russia with love, most wanted and american wasteland in perfect condition from a friend: for free (I offered money but he didn't want it. I owe him bigtime for that though :P).


    Still looking for a cheap [~150 euro including shipping; around 350 euro is the cheapest I can find at the moment. Maybe with donations some day :( ] Chihiro (for development reasons) though. Well.. next time


    Also super jaelous of the saturn deal too. I just paid 50 euro per lightgun (which is rather bad and expensive) for my xbox

    Got a free Grundig 32" LCD with broken inverter board, backlight goes out after one second. Easy fix, just need some spare money for a new inverter board or just a new trafo, depends on what the multimeter will say.

    Awesome deal on the Amiga 4000. 68060 :love2:

    It is usually hard to charge something when you don't steal the charger too!

    :lol:
