I take it the standard RRP is £69.99 and folks are just whacking a tenner on-top for profit?

Correct.

Sniper, going by an auction site, about £120 without games.

Today's find!

Really happy today, good finds

Everything cost £2+ bar the ZX Spectrum haggled/untested at £25

Kilrathi Saga is worth A LOT!

Toastrack works, all it needs is two new keys and a membrane, goes for £100+

Anyone have any idea where to get a decent unit about 1.4m wide to house multiple consoles in the open, was looking at something like a simple kallax shelving unit from ikea, ideally 4x3 (a 1x4 stacked sideways on top of a 2x4) as I have 12 consoles I want to have out, but standing my TV on top of that would put it too high up to be comfortable.

I bought Edge issues 1 - 83 today (1993-2000), quite pleased with them.

Tesco showing stock again for the SNES mini.

Got this little bundle given to me last week!

No leads for the ST but the rest is complete. Just waiting for an Amiga 1200 and my collection is complete.... for now!

Trick · 5 Jul 2017 at 12:08

Cool, a 3DO! I bought one exactly like that just the other week.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but well worth a look for retro fans!

It's been on my shelf for 2 years now and I've still not played it.

Last of my Mega Drive, Master System and Mega CD games go tomorrow.

The only Sega I have left it my Mega Drive and Mega CD and an EverDrive flash cartridge.

Back in to sim racing at the minute so haven't turned on a console at all in weeks apart from my PS4 for about half an hour.

After selling most of the more expensive games singularly on eBay I was struggling to sell off the more common ones.

I had 46 CIB games left all told and they've gone for £220. So less than £5 a game.

Well I would say the buyer got themselves a bargain there. You managed to keep your SIM racing gear though so that's good!

Yeah.

He was originally just buying RTYPE III from me for £40, which is a decent price. After asking if I had anything he asked for a list and a price.

So I said £260, based on £40 for RTYPE III and £5 a game. Which worked out to less than half the average eBay price.

I was a bit annoyed when he low balled at £200.

This all assuming he turns up to collect.

They will always try it, bit cheeky on such a big buy.

Bit off topic but ever had a refund from cex? I ordered 6 games yesterday and just got a PayPal refund from cex for 3.50 with no information really and no direct word from cex. I have emailed them to find out. Kim possible was 3.50 so I'm wondering if they have taken that off and not sending it even though the site still lists 2 in stock.

Also on my SNES hunt found a system that looks in good white condition, unboxed 2 controllers 6 games including 3 boxed which are DK country, Mortal kombat and Super star wars, 3 unboxed carts are Mario kart, mario all stars and super mario world

£100, seems fair but I'm not sure? If it's a good price I imagine it's already gone
