if they were selling, it wouldnt be still up there on the site.
a bit like the idiots who use Amazon Marketplace or PlayTrade as their reference point for game prices.
the item is still there because nobody is prepared to pay that price.

ebay completed listings is just about the only REAL measure of what something is worth

If you see something fake, report it. You can't sell counterfeits even if you were to tell buyers exactly what they are.

I reported that seller before for having a duplicate account selling the same controllers. They seem to still have their pimary account which they sold the controllers from before. Surely if you're reported for having a duplicate account you should lose the two if you were selling counterfeits from both accounts, not on Adverts.

You tube is a good source, I just spotted them because I reported them before. I have no problem with somebody selling third party controllers, it's when they try to pass them off as the real thing.

Anyone ever use these guys www.genkivideogames.com ?

I dropped the price of that hybrod bios Dreamcast to €90 - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=81191021&postcount=29

Cmon folks, region free goodness awaits

And a fancy new boot animation!







AND A HOT PLATE!

Whatever's to say about it, I do like the image of some chap sitting there one evening, in the thick of some multi-player session, quietly glancing down at the pad in his hands and remarking to an empty room 'hmm, needs more yellow, but not too much. Of course. no, that would be completely ridiculous, Wouldn't it? I've got to stop somewhere'.

It's not that bad! I'd use it! Although the d-pad is off centre.

I guess they have a value of about €5 as firewood....

I would imagine there would have been metal bars to each side;
sort of looks like one of them Missile command cocktails

If you're in the market for a MAMEable cocktail cab then these are a good enough starting point. Not at €150 though, 75 is more like it - you don't build one of these yourself for less.

I personally don't like those types, much prefer the Taito style ones with the metal legs.

My response:

I see you've deleted Stephen's comment.

I tend to agree, where are the rare games lads? Don't get me wrong I've shopped in there before and you guys have some really great deals at times but none of these are that rare apart from on auctions that haven't ended on Ebay yet.

There's a reason that not many people bid on these ridiculously prices games on Ebay... they're not that rare and not worth that much.

The only game there that I can see that even sort of rare on these shores is perhaps Pikmin for GC and Timestalkers for Dreamcast but again... not that rare at all.

Dreamcast games come factory sealed all the time and at cheap prices due to alot of warehouses having overstock of these games after the Dreamcasts' demise... they're not worth **** even if they are factory sealed.

They seem to have deleted the picture. Ahh well.

Hah just called them out for banning me, at which point they unban me and send me a message saying something along the lines of:

'We'd have no reason to ban you, did you use bad language on the page? You haven't been banned bro...'

At which point the link to their page goes blue again meaning that I've been unbanned. They must think that I'm a ****ing retard or something.

My response to this in full for anyone that cares:
Me
You did aye, want me to prove it to you?

15:21
The R.A.G.E.
why would we ban you? did you use bad language on the page?

15:26
Me
I see that you've unbanned me again, thanks for that.
Despite the fact that you've claimed that I wasn't banned I was for a time and we both know it. Maybe you didn't do it yourself but I know that I was.
You see when you message somebody from your page but you have banned person from said page a link no longer appears on the name of the profile that messaged the person, it turns black instead of being blue.
It's blue again which means that you'e unbanned me to then message me saying 'whao chill out dude you're not banned!'
So thanks I guess for unbanning me but we both know what we're at here and we both know why I was 'temp banned' so to speak.
That's a nice picture of the 'rare' range you have on your page by the way or erm... ohh well it was nice while it was there anyway.
;-)

I wouldn't pay 150 for one, but they're really interesting yolks. Definitely look like they've never been used.

Blazing Star for 40 pounds. It has a repro shell and label but the boards are legit. Seems like a good deal.

Also has an Aliens board going for 76 n5 if you feel like buying a backup Andrew76
