Atari Jaguar VR headset back up for sale, but as an auction now rather than a BIN. Unfortunately there's a reserve.

I think that reserves are a waste of time on ebay, have a BIN or Auction! A reserve actually put me off bidding on things a good few times. Of course I wouldn't be buying anything of that value

Still some great items in that bunch. Surely if it was sold in smaller lots or individually it would sell a lot better

Steve X2

I stuck up that lot of NES games i was talking about a day or so ago.
They will need a clean but are all working. I just don't have the time to clean them up at the moment and storage space is at a premium in the house and storage lockers.
50 Euro for all 38 of them or 2 Euro a pop.

Edit:

Couple of Jap DC games.
D2 and Maken X.

Seller has never sold anything before

Mr.Saturn

I think the seller's a guy from Racketboy. The content and location are pretty much the same, I think. The ad would go quite a ways to explaining why he's not updated his collection thread in some time.

Danonino.

GOG have a 50% sale on both Witcher games at the moment, both well worth the money.

MrVestek

Selling off a few things to raise funds for a cab purchase.

Open to reasonable offers. http://www.adverts.ie/search/user-528239/status_active/type_all

Also thinking of selling off my copies of Metal Gear Solid - Twin Snakes for Gamecube and Resident Evil 0 for Gamecube.

Where do yee guys get your Ps1 games? Ebay's too expensive..

I tried a charity shop the other day for the first time ever, no playstation games whatsoever..
But on the plus side, the woman who worked there needed help with moving a few things and in return game me an awesome Olympiakos fc scarf, which I wore to the Ireland match forgetting it looked exactly like a Poland scarf !

Atavan-Halen

It depends on what ps1 games you're looking for. Charity shops are too hit and miss and usually if there are any games it's usually FIFA 99 or some other crap.

martineatworld

Job lots on adverts are probably your best chance here. You might pick up the final fantasys, crash bandicoots etc cheap enough this way. For rarer stuff, unless you're very lucky, you'll have to bite the bullet and pay...

the groutch

charity shops only ever seem to have shovelware when it comes to PS1 games.
better chance with car boot sales, you'll get the odd person selling them without knowing what they're worth.

CosmicSmash

I have decided to dispose of one of my six Gamecubes:o(Eat your heart out SteveSi) It's complete with 7 games and I will take a good offer of a regular on here.;)

14 bids on pokemon stadium 2 already with 4 days to go! Didn't think it was that much in demand

Complete Pokemon stadium 2 usually goes for about €60.
These auctions can go either way tho. I know there will be a good few of them with 1 bid for 99c! Really need to clear out them so I don't mind too much

Just spotted a phoenixed Progear with motherboard for less than 200 shipped, good or bad money for that?

o1s1n

I was watching one for age which came to €170 delivered. Almost went for it but decided not to in the end. As much as I wanted it, it's a lot of money to spend on a pirate.

Even Progear conversions are pricey so assuming that the above isn't a conversion and phoenix aside that price seems good to me.

I was actually playing Progear at the weekend to see what all the fuss was about. Have to say I didn't really like it all!

Andrew76

Not sure I'd call a pheonixed board a pirate, it's more authentic than a conversion surely? Under €200 shipped for both boards assuming it's not a conversion sounds good to me also.

Have you played it enough on Mame to fork out that much though? Seems to be an acquired taste.

Yeah. Phoneix is A OK in my book.

Defo an acquired taste. Its bloody tough as well. Either that or I'm useless. Probably a bit of both.

o1s1n

Sorry, I should have elaborated, any 'Phoenixed' Progears I've seen are conversions. Unless it's coming from a source like AO.

Is this it Ciderdude?

Read the small print -

Jamma Capcom CPS2 PHEONIX Conversion..

Myrddin

I wouldn't put much if any value on a conversion board, sure you yourself a dead CPS2 board & convert it yourself & save a fortune.

Original boards that are Phoenixed, I wouldn't put in the same league as a conversion

A phoenixed board is a must if you ask me. I've a few boards and I really need to get more of them done.

o1s1n

All my CPS2 boards are Phoenixed bar Alien Versus Predator. Part of me wants to Phoenix it, part of me wants to leave it with battery as it's worth more to collector lunatics who care about batteries.

Not that I ever plan on selling it, but you never know.

CiDeRmAn

They always do that, slip the keywords in, in the small print... Critical words like "conversion", "repro" or "used to be a man"!

MrVestek

Arcade noob here... what is the significance of a board being 'phoenixed'?

Mr.Saturn

Spotted couple of okayish finds around Dublin City Centre today. There's a sealed copy of Monkey Ball: Step & Roll (Wii) for €4.50 going in CASA just by the Toymaster on Mary St. The Oxfam on Parliament St has a seemingly CIB copy of Metal Gear Solid (PS1) for 5 bob, and some 360 stuff too; though the only thing that stood out was Gears/Gears 2 for €5. The Oxfam on Francis St has Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario for a tenner. Not bargains by any stretch, but it beats the Gamestop's 1st party Wii premium, I guess.

Spotted around 3.30pm today, on the off-chance anyone's gonna risk heading over in the morning.

Not sure how much you know about CPS2 games (and maybe Google can explain it better than I ) but they have A and B boards. A is the motherboard, B is the game board. B contains a battery based backup which stores keys needed for the game to run. This battery dies over time and makes the game unplayable - as in it won't run. Known as the suicide battery.

Pheonixing is the process of getting some of the roms reprogrammed so they no longer rely on those keys - so the dying battery is no longer an issue.

Something like that anyway.

If only the Nes SP was a AGS-101 model, I'd be all over it.
