    Flash sales will play a big part in what I have planned for the future.
    Why be boring :)
    I've a bunch (30-40) of non rare NES games (mostly duplicates like Super Mario Bros and Mario Bos/Duck Hunt) I have to stick up and I kind of want them gone quick as well so might do something silly on the prices.

    Just need to get around to cleaning them up and making sure every one of them works, its kind of boring after the first 10 :0/

    Mine too, embarrassingly shallow tbh...but I'm moving from PAL to greener pastures to there's really no point in building a PAL collection...especially important with NES because the compatibility when moving to 60Hz with 50Hz games isn't great

    Then it says "Collection ONLY" - P&P Estimate: €15

    Having a bit of a retro clean out this weekend so sticking a few bits up on adverts tonight that I don't want to put on eBay. These bits need to be gone by Sunday evening as I'll be away after that for a few days.

    First up,The Legend of Zelda (NES/US/NTSC) (Custom Game Case) @ 20 Euro.

    Depends on what I find as I go this evening.
    So far I have a silver Gamecube that needs to go (no cables or anything but works fine as I tested it with my own stuff), a green Game Boy color that's had a new screen lens installed, one of those nasty Blaze/Atgames megadrive handhelds, a boxed clear purple Game Boy Color in almost mint condition, a new and boxed Dreamcast mouse (never used), a minty fresh boxed Perfect Dark in special protective case (not cheap rubbish collectors cases you do normally see).
    Thats it so far but I'm still sorting some bits out.

    Wowza, I've never seen a Wily Wars on adverts before. Thats amazing.

    Edit - by the way, that was a conservative estimate from you. It's worth more like 200!

    If they had any morals they would stand over the price they gave you.

    I really dont think you can bring morals into it seeing as he was offering a tenner for a 200+ euro game :D

    I saw something similar on Adverts the year before last, the seller had Twilight Princess on the Gamecube going for 15e, complete. Obviously had no idea of the price, and the offers rolled in. He accepted firsties, and those who lost out went on a bit of a tangent about. its real worth. Fair play to seller, he honoured the listed price, even after being informed. Bit of balance for the experience, I suppose.

    What is doing my nut in, however, is drive-by bidders, who quite persistently hound an ad with a slew of questions, conditions and offers, and soon as all's agreed, they seemingly vanish from Adverts. I've had it happen a few times. It must be some advanced form of trolling I've not caught up with.

    Maybe so, but to the seller the game was only worth 15, he offered the sellers asking. It was a bit of a lowballer with a bid of a tenner though:D
    It's now withdrawn, awaiting the INCREDIBLY RARE ad description no doubt.

    To be perfectly honest, if I'd seen that ad myself I'd have made the seller an off thread offer. (Of probably about 50 euro)

    Goes against adverts rules, but I couldn't give a damn about the rules over there anymore. The place is a joke.

    Yeah I know, but is a bit much to expect a seller to sell something for a tenner once he knows it's worth 20 times that. You'd have to have one strong moral code to do that!

    I picked it up a few years back for 45 euro delivered, with a booklet. Does that count? :pac:
