    Offered him a fair €80 for the Transformers Multicart, looks like a nice collection and I really don't have the room to collect loads of Jamma PCBs, although there will be a spot for a Namco collection board, someday...

    Holy crap!

    Trying to sell that as a lot is pretty much a way of not selling it. Maybe wifey said it all had to go so he put it up 'for sale'.

    I hate ads that say "not splitting" or job lots. Best way to sell it would be sell the cabs and large items locally and then split everything else. Then stick everything unsold on ebay.

    I want all of it though! Think the bank would approve a 5k loan?

    Vertrex and a few games going here, price good so far..

    what would be a reasonable price to pay for this all in?
    was considering bidding, but the £38.90 postage they quoted me (registered, insured,etc) is a bit offputting

    Ask them if you can do the courier yourself (usually about £20, up to £20 insurance)

    Flogging a Sidewinder Force feedback joystick, price is very negotiable would probably swap for a few Megadrive/Snes/NES carts.

    Holy smokes! Would each neo geo game be worth £80 each on average?

    That's pretty much what the current bid is clocking.

    I know each game has a different value and what not.

    Edit: Jaysus just saw the shipping price there, and the fact there's a full 9 days left! :eek:

    I see now the shipping price is just a placeholder:

    "I haven't checked the exact price for postage in the UK or Worldwide but will add that later. I can't see it being cheap though. It would have to be fully insured to protect all parties.
    Postage listed isn't correct but eBay forces you to add it."

    Some auction though!

    Simple answer - you're not! Only drug lords and IT related billionares collect for the AES.

    The rest of us buy one of these -

    And use MVS carts!

    Yeah was looking at a converter but pricey enough as well. Think I might just become a drug lord be handier, just call me EscobarOTT from now on.

    Unfortunately for me, a 6 slot. Was grand when I had a woody cab (6 MVS games at the touch of a button was rather cool), not so useful anymore though.

    Sold off my 1 slot when I got it. Should have kept the thing. :(

    Might be worth sticking on your watch list if your're looking to kick start a Sega Megadrive collection. Shipping a bit steep though..

    That shipping isn't that bad, considering. It's a heavy enough trilogy of consoles that :)

    There you go, I think it's a reasonable enough postal cost given the package.

    Unexpected refunds are the ebay equivalent of finding a fiver in an old jacket.

    After I got that neo geo I found 25 euro in an coat left in the car. Made me feel a little less remorse and I also got a batter burger.

    Neo Geo, free wheelie bag, 25euro in my coat pocket and a batter burger. That was a great day.

    You should never eat a batter burger found in a car, in fact never eat a found batter burger, actually best off to just not eat batter burgers.:D
