I've honestly never seen or heard of anyone not buying something because it was cheaper than expected.

I've got umpteen questions about why I was selling something so cheap yet no offers, In my eyes and going on fleabay prices what I was selling wasn't cheap, it was the going rate, just not the adverts listed rate.
I honestly think you are better over pricing items.

Tomo.Murphy · 13-11-2014 3:42pm

When it comes to things like adverts, people like to think they've talked you down on the price. They'd be much happier paying 400 if it was listed at 600 than paying full price at 300.

My mame cab is still there.
Ipac,PC,trackball sticks/buttons/coin door for 300quids
no interest
Sure its not a cab for an arcade aficionado but I would of thought someone would like it for 300

It's torture to those of us that would love it but don't have the space for it too.

Yes they're rare but the prices... Sheesh.

CiDeRmAn · 11-01-2015 12:24pm

His highly expensive and R@RE copy of SSAnthology is PAL and been placed on Ebay, auction starts at €250, BIN for €350 link

Of course, you could save a shed load of money and just get the NTSC version, for the slightly cheaper price of €42 shipped, linky dink

Is it too much to call it broken?

That's the best made, awful tragic conversion of a cab I've seen.
Looks like someone with oodles of skill and talent forgot to develop any class.

CathalDublin · 29-01-2015 9:24am

Tomo.Murphy · 29-01-2015 10:59am

Are there any requirements for accessing some sub-forums on AO?

I could browse the marketplace fine when I wasn't signed in, but now that I am all I'm seeing are the 'Forum' and 'Technical' sections.

Edit: never mind. Had to have my first post approved apparently. I can see them now

We have yellow biohazard bags here on the ward, that thing looks like it needs incineration.

BGOllie · 31-01-2015 3:07pm

chanced an offer on it and was told she/he's "not in a rush to sell" ... so it might yet develop an entire eco-system by the time somebody offers 120 for it

Hes actually sold some sketches :eek:

Tomo.Murphy · 01-02-2015 3:00pm

The ones that are "complete with Faber Castell", is he printing off a picture on an A4 sheet and supplying them with colouring pencils or something?

I honestly don't think it looks that bad!

More worth €5-€7 though.

Plenty of people sell these kind of sketches regularly at conventions.

cloud493 · 01-02-2015 9:36pm

I've seen worse sketches sell for more at eirtakon and all the rest.

CiDeRmAn · 01-02-2015 10:57pm

He traced it from a magazine or print out and coloured it in for globs sake!
It wouldn't be so bad if it was an original piece of art but it's just this picture reproduced in markers!!

If that's all it takes to make a few bob on Adverts the world must be filled with dumber people than I thought, and I thought most of them were pretty thick to begin with.

01-02-2015 11:11pm

lol, I have in my head thats its an entrepreneurial kid or something because I dont want to think about the alternative.

A trace job makes it less appealing alright i guess.

Have you ever tried using your skills on retro stuff btw?

CiDeRmAn · 02-02-2015 9:21am

I've tried a water colour of a Colossus once but, ultimately, it was just a hollow copy of another persons art, so won't be doing that again!

Might do something some day, certainly there's some talented folk out there, women and men who produce wonderful work, but I'm more a landscape/seascape kinda guy....

o1s1n · 02-02-2015 10:23am

Yeah I always felt the same, I don't like copying other's artwork and found that any time I tried to do anything game related, that's just how it turned out. A copy.

It's hard to do something original with designs and characters which are so well known to everyone.

BGOllie · 02-02-2015 10:43am

about art, a while back I started looking at concept art tutorials from Feng Zhu : http://fengzhudesign.com/tutorials.htm and some other concept art books .
These are all for digital art methods but I applied them to traditional acrylics & canvas and it's quite amazing. I would argue you don't even need to know how to draw. It's pretty free flowing and relies on building layers of paint to start suggesting motives.
I didn't have an idea for each piece so it was done without knowing what I was going to draw at the end.

CiDeRmAn · 02-02-2015 10:43am

At the same time, there are some interesting things done with the likes of Samus and her adventures.
Her form is less canon than the rest of the Nintendo pantheon, and so more might be done.
Certainly her adventures leave ample room for someone with the talent to produce something that is more than a pastiche or mere homage.
I just don't have the balls for such work!
Maybe some day....

I have one of those.
I think it was sold, one christmas, by Marks and Spencer or Debenhams, and it was around 9.99 or so.

Was it 2008/09?
That's when I got one(or a very similar version).

CiDeRmAn · 18-02-2015 6:20pm

I just pointed it out to the gentleman selling it and he confirmed it was the very same device and offered to sell it to me for the discounted price of €50....

I already have one.

It's sh1te.

So, I may leave it.

This is worse than a CDi, and that's really saying something.

the groutch · 19-02-2015 12:31am

lol, he accidentally marked it as sold instead of withdrawn.
would love to be there to see his reaction when getting hit with a €2 success fee.

Welcome to crazy town,

What's even crazier is someone's offering €700 and he's refused it!
