    A bought a Philips Senseo coffee maker for the better half a year or so ago.
    Pretty cool, takes pods and you also fill a milk tank, makes perfect Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino and Macchiato.

    What can I say, I'm a great hubby!

    I hate coffee though!

    I bought a cheeky Wispa Gold this week. And a few cinema tickets. And various other inane things that are neither arcade nor retro :p

    That's a really nice find, well done.

    Now, if you find a rubbish copy of that crap game Panzer Dragoon Saga, be sure to let ole Uncle Ciderman dispose of it for you, no charge.... ;)

    They're rarer but not worth much more than normal copies since they don't have nice artwork and sometimes no manual.

    A Final Fantasy VII promo will be worth something, definitely.

    Is it anything like this one? One dude in the thread said he's seen them sell for over €100

    Ah some great books in that haul. I can gradually see this forum become the arcade and retro and discworld forum.

    I got an unseen university edition of sourcery from the US for like 40 dollars, which is a great price for it.
    Boxed SNES games and Pratchett books. Why do I have to like expensive crap!

    So I finally got back from London with a Transit load of stuff. Left everything in my office except for my trusty IBM XT.
    Flicked the massive-red-awesome toggle switch to power it on. Basically sounded like a jet taking off nearby.
    Not great screens, still flicking through what's on the hard disk.

    Some sort of rip off of space invaders? IBM have nothing on Atari...

    And it came with a copy of IBM PS/2 tools...

    Blimey, you must have some storage in your gaf for all those computers! Very nice though I still think you are John Titor! :D

    Your collection always reminds me of my quest to import an X68000 and/or a Fujitsu FM Towns. A Marty would be cheaper on shipping, but from opinions I've gathered from research of the Marty vs the FM Towns machines, the Marty is actually a very poorly made and unreliable machine. Same goes for the Car Marty. Sorry for going OT there!

    Chances of spotting any of that stuff though, even in Japan, is very remote.

    Good luck with your machines though, good to hear you got your haul back safe! :)

    Mine is what ya see in my pic. 3 discs in a 4 disc box (no cover).
    I see that link the cover says "DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY". Wonder if that cover is off a retail display box, if it was the promo cover wouldn't it say promo only? The front of it looks like a standard cover.

    Found it in a charity shop in a very small town... not what you would expect to find, I had found FFVI, FFVIII and FF anthology in the same shop a few weeks ago.
    Must have been from the same lot but missed it the first time round.... actually didnt even notice it was a promo copy till i hopped into my car :o



    edit: found this http://ff7-cloudloku.atspace.com/eng.html some FF collection this guys got.
    Final Fantasy VII Promo Version: It is a very rare item. As can be noted by the words on the CD, it has never been sold in shops, but only sent to editors, to allow them playing the game in advance (before than the public) and write reviews on magazines and websites. It's a complete version, fully playable and perfectly working, but distributed in an anonymous case, without cover or manual.

    I had a few promo disks, sadly they are for sh1te games, Jet Rider, Star Wars: Masters of the muck fighting game, both for PS, also I have a lotus racing game promo for the ps2.

    And as for A&R&Discworld forum, as a massive Pratchett fan I'd do it, sure you'd be cutting cutting your own throat not to! Sausage in a bun anyone?

    I have loads of promos, some for fantastic games like SotN and Silent Hill 2. Been told they aren't worth much.

    I love when stuff like this turns up in the oddest if places. Nice find dude. Will you be selling it on or keeping it you reckon?

    Some are worth money, others not so much. It's all down to whether collectors want them or not really.

    Sure, they don't have booklets or nice artwork, but like promo/beta carts, some of them are rare. Rare + popular product = worth. I'd say Final Fantasy VII being multi disc makes it rarer than your average promo too. Plus you know how mental some Final Fantasy collectors are about stuff ;)
