No, possibly not.
Unless they normally sell for 1 billion dollars...

Seems yea could get one from the UK for €300 + ParcelMotel - https://ebay.us/OIbJhW
An extra €200 for the convenience of picking it up in Dublin? Prob not worth that

For 80 euro its not too bad for a decent selection of games and what looks like a relatively good looking spectrum zx +2....assuming it even works.

Nice find, weird sideways photography!
Games are nothing to write home about, good few cover tapes and games that sell for less than a pound, (the Giants compilation is around the three pound mark) but the +2 looks in good nick and It's not insanely over the top price wise, which makes a nice change from people looking for mad money for a bog standard Spectrum.

Exactly, some fun games there too, nice bundle for someone looking to start a collection or purely just for a nostalgia trip.

Could probably negotiate that 80 down a little too if you wanted

We don't know if it works though.
I'd buy the thing, if it powered on, the seller doesn't seem to know.
Also, it's collection only and I don't know about driving all the way to Laois for it.

My concern was the lack of info on the ad, he either don't know much or he's masking the fact there's issues with it

Threw a few bits on Adverts:

PS3 Games (some nice ones, some meh) - https://www.adverts.ie/playstation/playstation-3-games/20638662

x2 Arcapde1up Cabs (Streetfighter 2 & Rampage) - https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/arcade1up-cabs-x2/20638562

And a hard one to price here, PS3 Resident Evil HD (Asian version, not Japanese) new & sealed. There's only one on ebay.com that I can see, with most being either used or regular Japanese copies - https://www.adverts.ie/playstation/resident-evil-hd/20638550

Don't worry I'm pretty sure they'll be relisted in a few days, might be a tad more expensive though.

I wouldn't have thought there's much scope left for a price increase is there? 325/2=162.5 each, which I thought was fair but not reseller-bait? Maybe I'm wrong?

You aren't factoring in one thing - the numerical multiplier that is being a profiteering scrote.

Once you do that then the sky is the limit when it comes to prices

In all seriousness though, I thought you were pretty on the ball with those prices. They get no use at all in the end, no?

I had a bit of a feeling they might become the new clothes horse in most households.

I tried pricing them on Adverts but there were none (strange really), so I just priced them on what I felt they were worth. I paid €400 for both in that GameStop offer a few years back...so figured a €75 loss over two years isn't bad going.

Zero use whatsoever. They're just a novelty item really. You could put some money into them with better controls, internals, scanlines, etc....but at that rate you'd be as well buying the real thing.

Looking at the buyers stuff for sale, those cabs are for sure going to be €350 each by next week

350 each at a minimum.

The person who submitted the first offer, his/her has ads up for crazy prices, 300 for a dusty couch that was described as an attic find? :rolleyes:

I've dropped the price of the uncommon Resident Evil Remaster for PS3 (didn't get a physical release here or the US...and it's not the Biohazard version either, so it's not common) - https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/resident-evil-hd-rare-ps3-physical-copy/20781851?notification=6b2b052e541df2925fa0f47987166c95-1593067682 - open to reasonable offers on it

I've split the Mini's up into separate ads:

Famicom Mini - https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/nintendo-famicom-mini/20772859
Super Famicom Mini - https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/nintendo-super-famicom-mini/20772895
Super NES Mini (US Version) - https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/super-nintendo-mini-us-version/20772931?notification=8c26c2873c874e2479862bb3337199c9-1592997062

Have dropped the price on the remaining PS3 games here - https://www.adverts.ie/playstation/playstation-3-games/20638662 - again, open to offers
