Plus legions of inspections etc, great price but in the interests of the cab itself I'd quiker go with internal EU shipping over transatlantic. It's a lot of stress on the monitor alone.

The customs thing would be a worry. But as for the transportation, where do you think Ronnie gets his cabs? They sure aren't made in the Netherlands

Aye but he could have proper channels, a repoire with stockists who actually pack the things properly. Valid point though, they don't exactly make Candy Cabs in the EU - they gott come in from somewhere.

But - Japan to USA to Canada to you (probable)

or

Japan to the EU to you (via Ronnie)

Ah yeah, too true, I was just extracting the urine :pac:

I remember reading a post of his saying something like -

'15 atomiswaves currently at sea!'

And I shuddered at the thought!

I worked for a fairly big name car company one time, & a whole shipment of them went into the sea between the UK & Germany during a storm years ago. Loads of brand new German motors sitting at the bottom of the sea

If Ronnies ship goes down I'm organising a rescue mission for the cabs(and any human survivors if we have room after the cabs are saved).

o1s1n · 18-07-2011 4:52pm

Hopefully it goes down near that cargo of expensive German cars.

Load the cabs into the cars and drive them to Ireland. Perfect.

Steve X2 · 18-07-2011 4:53pm

By the way, he has 36 cabs on the way and and another 50 about to ship from Japan.

He's a busy man

Another insanely rare Japanese exclusive title?

On a side note, just won a complete copy of comic zone for 3.00, just threw down a big even though I have it, i'll put it up for trade or somthing

o1s1n · 19-07-2011 12:16am

Never heard of it no? By far one of the best shmups on the Megadrive. Worth about €200. I just reported the auction as it's a bootleg. Take that ****er down!

If it was, what would we talking about for cart only?:(

The US bowling game is nesters funky bowling and not worth much at all. The japanese game Virtual Bowling is a different game and worth a hell of a lot more.

Yeah, those Neo-Geo 64s are for nothing. It seems they made too many, and left them in the UK.

I always wonder about sealed games on EBay and the like, shrink wrap is easily found, how on earth can you tell if something is actually factory sealed, sealed by some spotty youth working in Electronics Boutique or sealed by the seller using a hair dryer 15 minutes before taking the photos?

It really varies from publisher to publisher.

Veteran sealed game collectors could tell a forgery by the way the shrink wrap is applied. If it's a rip off job, it won't look right. You'll have bunching at the seams and anomalies.

I'm pretty sure Snes sealed games for example have those rip seals you get on cigarette packets.

They do, although different colours offer different rarity values apparently. I actually learnt a lot of this while reading the forums of that site people sniff games on during my bout of insomnia last night.
