Another person accidentally adding zeros it would seem!

Optimus Prime · 27-07-2011 3:34pm

normally you could give the benefit of doubt about adding 0s but he has 600 in the description too! he's also selling an amiga for 400 with games, most of which seem to be copied games on blank discs.

"Its over 30 years old and is a rare item to find"
That's gotta be rare in fairness, a pre 1981 Amiga A500;)

Yeah, but it's "in full working condition"!
Not like all those preowned Dreamcasts that may cost €50 but turn out to be made of feta cheese and filled with bees!

Same guy again!
Megadrive must be made of gold
Now, I can appreciate the effort of doing the 50/60hz mod and including an RGB cable, but €140?

Is he on crack I wonders to myself?

Jack Burton should be on the case, offer a fiver and a packet of King crisps for it...

I think someone needs to teach the boggers about a little something called "value depreciation".

I've seen pasta solo on A&R quite a few times, might it be worth toning back the barrage slightly? Just saying...:o

The term "bogger" isn't needed either imo. (Nothing to do with my location seeing as I'm a dub.)

I agree. We are better than this people

I'm from the country and if I used a derogatory term to describe a Dub I would expect to be slaughtered here(and rightly so).

Actually that reminds me, I must apply for my Irish passport. Very useful as it gets you out of paying certain airport fees across the globe.

Then I shall take all my SHMUPS with me and bring NONE to one of these beer events you lot have (assuming my schedule is free some time within the next 875 years)!

Was tempted to do a bit of looting myself as I was over in London for one of the mad nights.
The police had the Apple stores well covered so I just went for beers instead

Yeah yeah I get it, but to be fair these consoles were handcrafted by Mario himself and have been played by Han Solo and I removed much of the inner workings and replaced them with diamonds and nude pictures of Scarlett Johansson and they all still work, so I figured they were worth ludicrous prices.

I don't know what came over me to be honest, I was really torn about selling the stuff as I love it so much but have no space for it so find myself playing emulators these days and its all in storage. I invested a lot of time and money and love into the collection and don't wanna see it go but I was being rather foolish with the asking prices to be fair, well spotted guys!

But the bogger remarks are a bit much...

Optimus Prime · 18-08-2011 11:06am

To be honest when selling on adverts your nearly better off doubling the price anyways, because i guarantee you the first offer you get is going to be half your asking. if you where selling a nes for a fiver, you will get some clown trying to get it for 2.50!

pasta-solo · 18-08-2011 11:09am

Yeah I had that in mind alright, have received a few daft offers in the past, so I always post asking prices a bit above what I expect. (a LOT above in this case) Adverts ain't what it used to be.

Prices are more reasonable now... I think...

Tallon · 18-08-2011 11:13am

Still a good bit high imo

nah thats about right, ive sold NES with no games for 50. It has a new 72pin and a few games. casltevania is worth about 15 on its on unboxed.

well there are a lot of good games in the lot too, not the usual tat you tend to get with these consoles.

I know where you're coming from ,I've seen the same thing with my ads.Theres one guy (no ..not the man burton) who always puts in stupidly low offers (cant think of his name but he has an ash from evil dead avatar there).Still though theres a sweet spot between " a higher price to start bidding "..and."I want crazy money"

good luck with the ads

Batteries not included? he bids on everything that pops up. Could be undercover RAGE :P :pac:

moonlighting · 19-08-2011 8:55am

I guess if you dont chance your arm , you wont get ,so fair play to him, still though bit of a pain in the arse when the first offer people see is on about a third of the actual value

There's a 'no offers below asking option' in adverts , I'd be tempted to stick up something at a decent price and tick that to see if it works.

This guy is a Grade 1 Knobend

I have been blacklisted by him and a comment was removed

Describing that as brand new is seriously taking the piss
