    I don't know what's worse, the fact that it's mega ultra rare or the fact that it's an obviously pirated cheap russian knockoff cart going for a premium...

    :D sorry but it was an obvious one

    fair enough :pac:

    the worst thing about auction sites is when they throw in a whole load of unrelated keyboards in the title "LOOK! Sega Mega drive for Sale Sega Nintendo Sony Playstation Saturn Monopoly IroningBoard" to get more search hits

    No link or anything like that but apparently "Trader" in Akihabara have a Darius Alpha going for less than 600 euro.
    Pricey but a lot cheaper than they normally go for. I suppose this is directed at only one member of the forum but it might be worth contacting them if you really wanted it.
    Still not exactly cheap though.

    and the mega cd ones i have here..

    http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/5-sega-mega-cd-games/1695002

    and a megadrive 2 with megacd attatchment..

    http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/sega-megadrive-2-and-megacdii/1690109

    Anybody know where to get a decent enough copy of Sonic Jam that won't cost me the price of a decent meal?

    Thanks. There seem to be a few in ok enough condition on Amazon but most of the sellers won't ship to Ireland.... bah!

    Went to look at your other ads.
    NOOO!!!!, Citrix books :eek: :eek::eek: After my CCIE I truly never wish to see one again.

    Good selection on megadrive games though so all is forgiven.

    I've never owned a Megadrive game in my life but I know that's a nice collection, its a sad day that sees that sold.

    Can I ask though why Did you have Sonic 3 at that price? is it a good bit less common than other games?

    It was probably that ultra mega rare version of Mario 2 that's shell was chiseled from ivory and gem studded. I hear it came with your own Shigeru Miyamoto clone.

    I checked on ebay and thats what the average price was, i know thats not always correct but i have 5 months to sell these so i can always lower the prices down eventually. Ive sold it for near that price too already, so it must be around right!

    Im not a huge megadrive player myself i have to admit, i didnt have one when i was younger and i rarely play those games so they are the first to go. My nes collection on the other hand, id rather not get married than sell them!

    Ah, prices are prices. People can charge what they want. It's their stuff after all. Sometimes you do have to set things high on adverts seeing as nobody can offer above the asking - so why would you set asking low?

    What bothers me (and most here I think) is when things are either misrepresented as being 'rare', 'mint', 'new in box' or just blatant reseller profiteering.

    The profiteering is especially bad as it takes bargains away from those who want the items and tries to make a few quid off of it. As bad as being a ticket tout really.

    I think there's a line between complaining about how adverts.ie can attract sellers expecting well above market rates and singling out one seller. It's a fine line but its the difference between looking for changes in how adverts.ie operates and getting much too personal.

    Crossing it brings at the very least internet drama, and there's enough of that everywhere else.

    I think anyone who puts a price on something on adverts and expects to get that is deluded. you have to put higher than what you want, its the nature of that site.

    Says the bloke that was ribbing somebody for selling very common Saturn games as 'Rare'.

    Hey not attacking anyone. maybe should have added a smiley. Nothing wrong with your prices just asked yesterday how much a atari jaguar was. realized i wasn't being a gob****e offering 50 quid on a 70 quid jag....... merely an observation alpha. and i am fairly new around here i only have a handful of posts and this is an already established community. Sorry if i hurt your feelings again but you did ban me from commenting on your ads need to vent somewhere ;)
