I've dropped some hefty amounts on some items but they were never over the odds. Bargains all the way for me baby
The closest I've probably come to it is that Sonic crackers proto. I think I paid about what it's currently worth. So not well over..but not well under either.0 -

Mind you, the whole eBay mayhem can get people paying silly money, when an auction's running you have to deal with your own patience, desire, finance, competition and cunning all in the space of 30 odd seconds. Fellas can't do that, it's impossible! 0 -

The thing to realize is that there's more than one copy of the game out there in 99.999% of cases. If it's getting too expensive just bail out, you'll get it somewhere else eventually. Try to get enjoyment out of saving money. I know I do
The ones that get me though is when it's a one off. Only really experienced that with the Sonic crackers proto mind you..I face that problem a good bit more with comic art & animation cels. As they're all one offs. If you don't buy it you'll never be able to buy it again! There are a few pieces I really regret not buying..but they just got too expensive.0 -
The more posts appear about this the more it seems I'm the one that needs some serious budgeting advice.Jack burton wrote: »Listen to that man, he is the voice of reason when it comes to ebay! Hes converted me to really grabbing bargains

Did you pay 130 euro for an MVS > AES converter? I did
In my defense though they retail at 250 dollars -

I've paid high amounts for games/consoles I just had to have now.. often choosing the "buy it now" option on ebay rather that waiting for an auction to end and aiming for a bargain.
But I refuse to pay ridiculously high amounts....recently got a GB pocket .. and some were selling for 50 or 60 quid :eek:0 -
34 copies of ICO on ebay.co.uk at the minute. Hardly that rare in fairness! I'd love for ebay to ban the use of such hyperbolic words
Oisin, what's a genuine decent price to aim for ICO? 20 Euro seems about average. There's been some that have gone for under a tener but I suppose that's just the bargain you get sometimes at the final auction time.0 -

Yeah but most of them are probably the rerelease in the plastic clamshell. I did a search a couple of days ago and there were only three original cardboard versions.
If you just want to play the game and don't care if it's the rerelease then you should be able to get it for 20 euro no bother.0
