Pokemon Black & White reduced to €9.99 each in Argos.

€8.02 profit (plus the 500 Stars) to be made selling one of each to CeX.

Can't seem to find them online or is this just an in store thing?

I don't think they show up if you search for Pokemon. It's the same with their in-store system. If you go to the Video Games page, click on Nintendo DS and then on Nintendo DS games, you should find it there. I picked up White a couple of weeks ago. They didn't have many copies left though. Usually 1 per store with two (counting the one I got) in Stephens Green.

CeX give €13 for them? Cash or store credit?

Yep. Just can't afford to keep it up and I'm not playing the stuff as much as I use to and I need funds.
Still looking to collect for Gamecube and I've kept 90% of that collection and I'm going to focus on Wii and DS to keep the hunger for gaming satisfied.
I collect books as well and that can be an expensive hobby at times, so one had to go and unfortunately snes and other retro stuff went.
Maybe I will get back into it, when I've a regular job and I'm finish college. No maybe, I will. So see ye in a few years, well except Cidey of course.

Sound. Maybe I should throw up a link... nah.

Under significant pressure from those clambering for link, I have buckled.
Here it is:

Give me your money suckers!

Nintendo 2DS for £69.99 sterling(or less it seems) from Tesco Direct UK.

Might need to use your UK Parcel Motel address.

Myrddin · 22-07-2014 10:28pm

Good price but after getting used to the 3DS XL, don't think I could ever realistically bother with the standard size screens again

Some really excellent stuff their man! Good luck with Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. Really interested in seeing what Earthbound ends at.

I'd quite like that Super Probotector, still don't have it. Will definitely throw some bids down.

I stuck up a Famicom Everdrive N8 in the marketplace for a decent price. I got myself a Stone Age Gamer Deluxe N8 for a nice price while looking for a new shell

My Argos has 10 of them, I reserved all 10 to get tomorrow.

Unfortunately reselling them to Cex or on Adverts is the only way I can fund my tiny game collection atm

Is what Im doing considered dirty, out of curiosity? I know everyone hates resellers but are there exceptions?

This came up here before and things got heated.
So, honestly, I don't want to see it discussed all over again.

If you and your conscience have no problem with it then fire away.

Let's please leave it at that.

Tomo.Murphy · 23-07-2014 10:44pm

Knowing Argos though, now that I've bought it the price will go down. I got Dragon Quest VI for €8ish and it's now €6.50, and I got Dragon Quest IX for €6.50 and it has just been lowered to €4.99...

Wow, thats a seriously advanced piece of hardware for the Famicom / NES.

I guess it needs to have a proper FPGA chip to emulate the Famicom Disk System, just like the 1541 Ultimate II.

I wonder if he'll ever do more cost effective verison just for emulating standard Nintendo carts without the bells and whistles.

I also wonder how Krikzz is holding up with the conflict in the Ukraine.

Yeah its a nice bit of kit. The price is not too bad either really(cost of a few rarish games).

just sell em on advert at trade in.....that way someone get a cheap sealed game and cex won't unseal a perfectly good sealed game.

P.s I personally think reselling is the way to go, u want rare stuff cheap u need to buy bulk, and u can't keep all the double .

P.s to mod, not looking to start a fight, just giving my 2cents in a calm fashion.

Has anyone ever had to deal with an order not arriving from play Asia?

I pre ordered a 3DS game back in April/May and it was shipped on the 19th June but there's no sign of it. I know their shipping times are horrendously long but I just have that feeling that it's not going to arrive.

I've had one order go missing and they sorted me out with another one when I got in touch with them. Their customer service is excellent.

It could be customs have nabbed your order and delaying it. I had a 2 month wait last time an ebay purcahse was caught by customs.

Could be customs alright. They seem to be intercepting a lot of stuff from Asia recently. I'll give it another week and if no sign it'll send them an email.
