I know it's an NTSC Snes but the condition of the Console is worth the look :cool:

I'd put a bid in, but as usual the postage is nuts.

Considering the tall tale he put in the description, I'm fighting the urge to put a question to him "what, no tarzan game?" :P

Spotted a couple of games I wanted on ebay that were relisted a few times without selling so sent a message to the seller asking could I just buy them for the starting prices and he's gonna give me quote. Sly :cool:

The Playstation sold for €56.50. To be honest I'd rather keep mine than sell for that.

Unless they sold it to someone in Ireland, they probably took a big hit on the postage too. €10 to europe? I'd say it would cost around 30...

Citypost.ie or parcel2go.com I always ask sellers to use. Example, my boxed Saturn and HUGE step-down was £16 by DHL using those sites.

EMS and USPS are the expensive ones.

I don't understand this...

First this

Now this

Here's a good one. Boost chances of selling your stuff on eBay by putting a hot girl in the photos.

What's he trying to sell again? :pac:
"Scarely rare" means pretty common then.

Dunno. I wasn't looking at the board or reading the description.

Super Famicom collection on adverts. Very nice collection but i can't help thinking it's a little overpriced. Depends on what games are there and it's kinda hard to make most of them out from the pics/japanese text.

Got a Famicom off the same seller before. He's a nice guy and it was in good condition but the carts were counterfeit (blatantly so and I didn't care, just wanted a couple of games with it and they were surplus in his collection of otherwise official looking carts) but looks like these are all official carts. Thought i should mention that just in case, but as i said they all look official with this.

Andrew76

Same chap I bought my Amiga 1200 from, seemed like a nice chap alright. Steep price that for just carts.

Couldn't agree more. I scanned through the games looking for Super BTTF 2, probably the best Game of the BTTF series on a home console.

Mr.Saturn

The chap who runs the comic-book stall in Blackrock Market has a stack of gaming gear, all reasonably priced. A good few Game Boys (Pocket, Colour and Advance), Atari 2600 titles and whatnot. Guy's bang-on too.

bonzer79

A few Atari games on offer all in excellent condition.

a mate in Navan is selling this

"32 inch Sony Trinitron TV , along with dedicated Sony stand , this was once the rolls Royce of televisions ... Working 100% only issue with it is that you can't hang it on a wall to make space in a toy room ... First 100 euros take it !" if anyone is interested!

He could drop it to your door ffs :pac:

Don't some sellers use this to lower their insertion or final feels...keep the BIN price low but whack up the postage?

They also don't pay commission to ebay on postage.

Pretty much. It's a way for sellers to dodge paying ebay fees as you don't pay them on the postage price, only the auction price.

I was always suprised ebay never came up with a way of combating that practice. As it's against their rules.

Although how do you police it? If a buyer wants their Saturn shipped in a box made of gold for €1000, who's to say they can't?

Anyone in Galway?

Quick question for you guys. Not sure if this is the right thread, if it isn't maybe a mod can redirect me?

Basically I'm looking to sell my Nintendo Wii with tonnes of games and accesories via adverts and want to get an idea as to its market value.

It's a white nintendo wii, with one motion plus controller with silicone case, Wii LAN adapter (for wired internet), Component cable for 480p picture resolution, 1 Mario Kart steering wheel, Wii Fit Balance Board and the following games:

PES 2008, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Disaster Day of Crisis, Call of Duty World at War, Wii Sports, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Bully, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mad World, Mario Kart, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Scarface the World is Yours, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Red Steel, Wii Fit, The Godfather Blackhand Edition, Goldeneye 007, Boom Blox.

Any idea here how much this could sell for on adverts. I was thinking of listing it for sale at 270?

Looking to buy a PS3 slim with the proceeds. Any advice appreciated.
