    Yeah, but it's "in full working condition"!
    Not like all those preowned Dreamcasts that may cost €50 but turn out to be made of feta cheese and filled with bees!

    Same guy again!
    Megadrive must be made of gold
    Now, I can appreciate the effort of doing the 50/60hz mod and including an RGB cable, but €140?

    I think someone needs to teach the boggers about a little something called "value depreciation".

    I've seen pasta solo on A&R quite a few times, might it be worth toning back the barrage slightly? Just saying...:o

    The term "bogger" isn't needed either imo. (Nothing to do with my location seeing as I'm a dub.)

    I agree. We are better than this people :(

    I'm from the country and if I used a derogatory term to describe a Dub I would expect to be slaughtered here(and rightly so).

    Actually that reminds me, I must apply for my Irish passport. Very useful as it gets you out of paying certain airport fees across the globe. :)

    Was tempted to do a bit of looting myself as I was over in London for one of the mad nights.
    The police had the Apple stores well covered so I just went for beers instead :D

    Yeah yeah I get it, but to be fair these consoles were handcrafted by Mario himself and have been played by Han Solo and I removed much of the inner workings and replaced them with diamonds and nude pictures of Scarlett Johansson and they all still work, so I figured they were worth ludicrous prices.

    I don't know what came over me to be honest, I was really torn about selling the stuff as I love it so much but have no space for it so find myself playing emulators these days and its all in storage. I invested a lot of time and money and love into the collection and don't wanna see it go but I was being rather foolish with the asking prices to be fair, well spotted guys!

    But the bogger remarks are a bit much...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,380 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    To be honest when selling on adverts your nearly better off doubling the price anyways, because i guarantee you the first offer you get is going to be half your asking. if you where selling a nes for a fiver, you will get some clown trying to get it for 2.50!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭pasta-solo


    Yeah I had that in mind alright, have received a few daft offers in the past, so I always post asking prices a bit above what I expect. (a LOT above in this case) Adverts ain't what it used to be.

    Prices are more reasonable now... I think...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,569 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    Still a good bit high imo
