    best €200 I ever spent :eek:
    Its now 100% working (video below), I think I spent a total of about €400-€500 because of the faulty audio board and getting stung on ebay with another faulty one.

    Could just be someone who doesn't use the internet asking a friend to list it, there are still some of them out there believe it or not, I know the guy I got mine from wouldn't have dreamed of listing it online, I'd say that thing would have ended up in a skip had I not called in and made an offer on it. I was once offered 2 pinballs (taxi driver and some more recent one involving peter pan theme) for €100 and stupidly never took them due to space, they were owned by a fella who owned a recycling/bin company and I never heard of them since

    It's usually the connectors to the screen that cause it. You can either use an oven to fix it or do a permanent fix by soldering it instead of relying on the glue that connects it.

    I recognize that username, not sure from where though.

    Nice condition, but that's one crazy asking price!

    AWSDs are tri sync as standard, so any one of them you'll pick up for about €700 will have one - it's definitely not something which should bump the price or anything :)

    Just while I remember is that arcade in Bettystown worth a visit? Only heard about it the other day. Assuming it's Funtasia? Might give it a punt anyway since I'm already in Dublin over the Xmas.

    Funtasia is grand, but there is little left in the way of cabs. A lot of cranes and pushers but little in the way of games. Still worth a visit though and the bowling alley is always good craic. :)

    Well this is annoying. NOS Wyvern Wings boards going for £36.00.

    But they're in the US and the postage adds on almost another £20! :( thought I'd found a bargain.

    /wow! and an additional $20 at checkout to cover 'import charges'.

    Was contemplating it with the shipping cost alright, but when I saw that added import tax fee at checkout that's totally put me off. Would bring the end price up to about €90.

    That new ebay tax thing has really put me off buying anything from the US. :(

    I think if you buy something from the US you have to buy the import tax straight away, as opposed to taking a gamble at getting stung at the door. ive noticed it myself.. no likey.

    Fairly sure I paid north of €100 for mine a long time ago. Not the greatest of shmups although I haven't put much time into it to be fair.

    You're not mixing it up with Cyvern: The Dragon Weapons btw?

    Really? How does that work, like does ebay/the seller/paypal send the import duty to the Irish government :confused:

    I dunno the detail behind it, but ive seen it on ebay ads from the states, it will tell you what the import tax is on the main items auction page.

    I had it on my list (along with Strikers 1945) as I remember you picking them up and saying you got them for decent prices. :)

    I think the seller can pay the import duty in advance (maybe they get a duty exempt sticker to put on it then?, not 100% sure)

    It's a bizarre practice anyway. Might stop your item being held up, but it means you have no chance of missing customs/tax. Which to be honest, happens on most packages coming from the US.

    I see. I had a quick look on Lukiegames ebay shop there, no mention of import duty that I can see...is it optional for sellers?

    To make matters even confusing - yes! :D

    I seem to be getting very unlucky lately where all the US based stuff I want to bid on has this added tax. Have emailed a few sellers and they don't want to remove it either.

    The way it works is that eBay has this global shopping programme in the US where the seller only has to pay domestic shipping to a warehouse and it's then forwarded on, the downside being that it automatically adds on import charges which you might not have to pay if the seller ships directly to you. Lukemorse on youtube did a vid on it as the company that ships the package in seems to repackage the items really badly. I'll link to it later.

    Watch it when buying something shipped with PBI , you don't only pay customs in advance but if the seller makes a heavy sturdy package PBI puts it in a lighter one or remove some of the padding inside to save on shipping costs .

    That's a nice lot there, and for little money, including the console.
    If I didn't already have most of them I'd pick it up!
