Get your games for dirt cheap

TheDoc

Just thought I'd give peeps the heads up. Probably already know, maybe don't

I'm a big of an ebay speculator.

And this week is the BIG week to buy stuff off ebay. People wont be bidding much because of the chance it wont arrive for christmas.

Things get more interesting next week.

Expect to see games and accessories with no bids and really cheap prices.

Already have got crackdown, rockstar table tennis and bioshock for combined 29 euro incl shipping:)

thought id let people know, its well worth a look in.

Jeekers, that's a good price. Perhaps you should post this on the Bargain Alerts forum. I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Good tip. Will be browsing there tomorrow during work.

BFassassin

Good idea. Ill have to have a look and see what takes my interest. Anyone recomend any must have games.

BNC

Thats a great idea. Just careful not to bid against each other. *goes off to look at ebay*

I'm on the lookout for some accessories myself, don't think there's any game I want right now due to COD4 owning my life.

I've got Orange Box unopened as well

Good idea, will keep my eyes open.

Its worth to take note stuff wont arrive before christmas, but I've been getting stuff dirt cheap.

Some examples for example

Conan the barbarian - average ebay price 30 euro shipped against hmv,gamestop prices

Assassins creed - average ebay price 35 euro against hmv gamestop


tbh every game brand new you can get for 30 euro from beay ( well i always do)

and its much cheaper, quicker and easier then play-asia...which i found terribly slow

Anyone needs a hand in searching or how to find bargains let me know dont mind helping

little ebay guru here

Why not start an "ebay watcher" thread or something where we can pool our bargain spots?

What versions are these cheapo games? Are they the region free NTSC-J ones?
If someone has a seller that sells new games for 30 delivered then please pm me his name or post it here.

They are actually 3 games I'm looking for on ebay at the moment. Haven't been able to get Crackdown for less than €25. Don't want to pay more than €15.

Will keep an eye out though. Thanks for the tip

TheDoc

the games i get are uk versions...

you can get region free, or jap ones EVEN cheaper...but you can get mostly uk playable.

Also dollar is extremely weak at the moment and if you find a good powerseller that ships to eire, you make a killing.

there is a link for some ebay items regarding crackdown at low prices.

You will notice the first few being extremely cheap.

For ebay noobies, beware of items that are 99 cent with one bid, usualy means that person has a second account, and has put a reserve on it themselves. It tricks ebay noobies into bidding up the price for them



use www.xe.com for easy price conversion

I would keep my eye on that one for crackdown....will go very cheap, notice how there is no bids yet starts at 99, that means seller doesnt have a fake bid account, and that will genuinely go for very cheap.....

I'd advise throwing a reserve of 8 pound sterling on it, will probably sell maximum 10 sterling unless you all get into bid war


And of course go with someone who has genuine feedback.

Good tip but I'm finding it hard to come across anything worthwhile. Does anyone know any good powersellers for Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect (region free)?

Gran Hermano

Mass Effect 45 euro in GAME this week as their 'game of the week' -
was a post on here about it. Play-Asia probably cheaper if you can wait.

Ends Wednesday. Not sure what the next game is but still kicking myself for missing COD4 the previous week.

COD4 is region free and dirt-cheap on Play-Asia. Think I got the Asian version
for less than 40 euro

travis1976

Do these region free and jap games work on standard 360? A bit new to this. Have a softmodded xbox and everything worked on that.

Kur4mA

Yes they do. Almost every game released is available region free in either US or Asian versions.
