AAAAaaand a mod has just removed all my comments from the Virtual Boy ad.

Lovely... some of these people really need to look up the definitions of 'mint' and 'rare'.

I know, I really hate that crap.
On a separate note, any offers on my mint condition PS3.

€400!! WTF, I paid €600 for this when I bought it new.
Asking is €595.

As annoying as all the off topic waffling is on this forum, the moaning about adverts.ie is even worse. Either report the ads to the mods if they're against the rules, or STFU. It's especially worse if you're going in there on purpose to spoil peoples ads.

Take your own advice and report the 'off topic waffling' maybe?

Hi I'm new around these parts.

Adverts is a joke i got banned from posting on a guys ads for asking why his "boxed and complete, collectors condition atari 7800" had a tatty box and was missing a pad.

I also got a flak from people on this very thread concerning an untested free snes i put up almost making me out to be a thief. "not test = broke" I mean the thing is free, i had no cables to test it what more do they need. So i guess the entire gaming culture in Ireland is riddled with Del boy's leading to a lot of mistrust.

Was that the 'new' 7800? We know it well

I don't recall that, I'm sure it was nothing against you personally at all anyway. It's just a well known ebay & auction thing in general with electronics. The majority of the time, if an item is listed as untested, generally the seller is covering their ass regards a return. They can basically decline to refund you as the ad was listed as untested.

There are genuine cases, but the Del Boys vastly outnumber them when it comes to 'untested'

The Guru's will tell you to avoid the FZ-10 model listed there, & go for an FZ-1 instead. Build quality is so much better, plus, it's just cooler.

Price for an unboxed console only, of the top of my head in & around €70/€80 plus postage...would that be about right? It's a while since I looked at them. Boxed would probably fetch about €120ish maybe?

Ah i'm not worried about it. Yes the amazingly "new" 7800. I bought some items from that chap before and he regretted to inform me of his smoking habit which stank up the boxes and manuals of all the gear :mad:. Just an all round bad vibe from him then.

Yeah, NTSC FZ-1 all the way(with a PAL PSU if you can manage it). Unfortunately those prices are about right at the moment. It should be a lot less for an unboxed FZ-1 but people seem to have settled on the €80-90 price range.

They're definitely the lesser choice. Go for a Panasonic R.E.A.L which are the FZ1's. Try tp get NTSC if possible as Steve suggested also, for 60Hz gameplay. There's no region locks afaik either

No region locks but there is a very small handful of Jap games and demos that wont play on PAL or US NTSC systems because of a missing Kanji font on those systems.

Not many Egret 3's knocking around at the moment from what I can see. Lots of them in Japan of course if you are willing to sort out shipping and all that.
There might be a group order happening here on boards in the next couple of months(order coming from Japan) and I know we have a load of Egret 3's available for that, should it go ahead.

This may seem like a lot of money for a Sonic statue, but it's a really good price given what they've been selling for recently -

Well from what Steve_SI has said, the order will be taken before anything is shipped. So there shouldn't be a frenzy to get them really - if you want one then it can be added to the order.

No idea of costs, but we've been told it won't be anywhere near the usual crazy prices for candy cabs in Europe.

By the way, why an Egret 3 as a matter of interest? From what I've read, the Egret 2 is held in higher regard. Do you want it mainly because it has a tri sync monitor? The Egret 2's monitor can be rotated vertically, which is sheer amazing

Yeah, costs will be cheaper than the usual prices if we can get this going.

Personally I prefer the look of the E3 than the E2, but I plan on getting an E2 next. The rotation mech on it will be very handy indeed and is probably why its so sought after.

And to pre-empt Johnny Ultimate's inevitable request, no, loading up the back of someones cab with Ramen won't be permitted. It'll drive up the shipment charges.

Rotate mechs add a lot to the value of a cab alright. Sure you see the money some shmup fans spend on games - I'm sure some of them would even amputate limbs for a rotatable cab

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.
