    Is that not a mad price?

    Depends on a few factors really.

    If it were practically brand new with very low hours then I'd consider it at that price.

    Chances are it's probably not, so it's more than likely overpriced. They seem to go for about €100 on average on adverts.

    It's more the regularity of them appearing for sale though, you don't see them pop up in Ireland too much. If you were looking for one and had been waiting ages, then maybe you'd be willing to pay a bit more. (Personally I might go up to €130 or so if I were desperate.)

    Not sure if anyone would be into rear projection tech, but there's a massive wide-screen 100hz (think it's 55 inches?) Toshiba rear projector TV in Oxfam Francis Street for 200 euro. looks to be on great condition.

    Fecking massive though, biggest tv footprint I've ever seen!

    Edit; Took a photo of the monster!

    Decided to lash the LMD 2010 up for sale over on adverts. The other LMD I got has sorted me out so I don't really need this, as much as I'd like to keep it.

    If anyone here wants it, let me know. Could do it for €100. (cost me 130 after postage so just trying to reclaim that back over on adverts!)

    Boxed N64 if anyone is interested.

    I had the PSU from this in my JAP n64...had to put it back into the PAL unit so I could sell it (Jap is now running back on an NTSC PSU with a step down for the time being, grrr)

    I have a 14" monitor on Adverts. It's from a poker machine, and the burn is noticeable, but it's good otherwise.

    Here's a bit of a bargain, so I went to degauss an arcade monitor recently and it turns out my wand (!) is broken.

    I went to see if I could source another one (those Chinese green ones) and they're all a bit silly expensive for being such cheap pieces of crap.

    Turns out that apparently they're actually meant to be quite dangerous and overheat/melt.

    Came across an auction on ebay selling what appears to be good quality British made ones for ten pounds. UK plug and everything.

    Even better, he has the postage to the UK listed at £20 (which I was going to pay given the degausser was so cheap) but I just got an invoice and the postage is £4. So a total price of £14. (+ PM fee)

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/TV-Degaussing-Rod-/232594751983?ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123

    Has 9 more available.

    Just to add to the above, degaussing a CRT is super easy and this is definitely something you should think of picking up if you're into CRT tech, both arcade and regular monitors/TVs.

    You just wave it around in circular motions in front of the monitor and pretend to be Magneto for 30 seconds.

    Sweet thanks Oisin, purchased

    Not sure if it's a bargain, as I can't properly see the page!
    But Play Asia have Battle Garegga for the PS4 of all things.
    And, it's €41.53, before postage!

    Maybe it should be on the Dreamers page instead?

    Do it before I take the plunge and they release it as a budget game in Europe for 20 euro.

    Thank you for not making bring up Under Defeat, it would have been unseemly of me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,994 ✭✭✭Shapey Fiend


    I found a copy of Under Defeat in Gamestop for €5. Unfortunately when I got home I discovered they'd sold me Tom Clancy HAWX 2 in an Under Defeat box instead.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,311 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    I would put it under the feet

    Just got that degaussing wand in the post, it's the absolute business! Proper heavy duty industrial type.

    Pink be gone!

    That’s not a degaussing wand, that’s a magic wand if ever I saw one!

    You’re a wizard Harry!

    Well this is hilarious, it's the exact same model of BVM I had before!

    I googled the model number and this came up. (That post is me :D)

    https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50604

    I had one shipped two or so years ago via parcel motel and the neck board was broken in two.

    Let's hope this one fares better...
