teh "what you didn't buy today"-thread

[hoobs88]

Wow thats quite a deal isnt it!  Someone cleaned up on that one

I didn't win this today.  I bid exactly what its worth, so whoever won it overpayed IMO

http://cgi.ebay.com/Pioneer-LaserActive-CLD-A100-NEC-PAC-N1-PC-ENGINE-/250817516696

The shipping cost on that is ridiculous!

[BlueBMW]

Typical for a laseractive system via EMS from Japan.  You have to figure that into your price

[turbokon]

I really want this one but someone sneaked in right at the end.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150602923852&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

It had two supergrafx games among other PCE goodies, the one I really wanted was 1941.  A bargin considering an auction for 1941 just recently ended at $165.

yeah even though the 1941 didn't have the cardboard case and one of the "game" is actually a system 3.0 card but yeah all the games are pretty solid games so whoever got this lot got it for  pretty good deal.

Didn't win this yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=150602923852&si=45RVq7agB%252BR7G0Fyw2KG8z5SBOU%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBUAA%3AUS%3A1123

It was sitting at $49 until the last minute because the foolish seller didn't think to include words like "pc engine", "turbo grafx", or "1941" anywhere in the listing.

I was one of the bidders sneaking in at the end.  Poorly-listed items like this go cheap, but don't underestimate how much they will jump in the last minute (this one went up $70+).  Decide how much it's worth to you, don't bid early, and pray there aren't too many other people watching.

Wow I could go on and on!  There are sooooooooooooo many things that I didn't buy today!!  Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Sorry to necro-quote (that would have a double meaning on this forum), but the lulz nearly killed this sickly gamer! I gotta be careful reading Joe's posts...<<<sigh>>> gotta be careful.

HAHAHA, it never gets older

[blueraven]

I did not le buy a Odyssey2

[Joe Redifer]

I didn't buy a whole slew of Neo Geo AES games I saw at the store (though the JP version of Super Sidekicks as $30, not sure if it is worth it).  I also didn't buy Mortal Kombat II for the 32X because it didn't have the book.

[Mathius]

Didn't buy a complete used copy of Kolibri for the 32X at Disc Replay. My friend who works there got to it before I did.

I snagged my copy off amazon for $10, but the box is faded and water damaged.

Never eat one, are they yummy?

Went to That's Entertainment for a Star Wars CCG tournament and saw 2 Turbobs in the showcase: Splash Lake (complete) for $10 and Bonk 3 (loose with manual) for $70. I already own them both so I didn't buy them but it was cool to see them in the wild.

Wow.  In the wild and not terrible prices either.

[majors]

Did not buy a converted MVS 4U (SNK candy). It would need a new CP and prolly does not have the NeoGeo marquee...but it was clean!

I didn't buy a copy of Magical Chase. It crossed my mind though, but I have other financial concerns at the moment.

Fatal Fury 2. - No wait, I think that was yesterday.

This.

That's none other than our buddy RR1980 here.   Not a bad price for a cap swapped repaired unit plus all those pads and arcade card.  Who swapped the caps?

I was really tempted actually. I thought that was quite a good deal.

I've been buying way too much stuff lately.

[BlueBMW]

Well he's a great guy to deal with.  And there's a good chance that is the unit I just did caps on recently.  It was in good shape!

Also it is a good deal, not a steal, but no where near a gouge either.  Plus did I mention he's a cool guy?  He's not just a fly by night reseller.  He actually plays this stuff!

[blueraven]

I've done business with RR1980, and he's a great person to deal with!

hehe thanks guys yeah beamer it was the Duo you did the cap swap on so it's got great audio now! I was gonna keep it as my to play console but then I found this super beat up duo-r and I figured I would keep that instead and sell the Duo.

yeah it's super beat up but surprisingly both the hucard slot and the cd side works perfectly so it's like my little miracle baby hehe well actually the controller port is  probably a little loose I have to step on the controller cord to have it work properly hehe

Every time I don't think it can ever happen again a great deal pops up! I want to watch the seller's feedback to see if he re-lists it.

Bought it.  Now I'll have to sell something!

Turns out the seller "Jump 2 Japan" is Toshi from Dream Stars.  Good to see he's still around.  His prices are always reasonable and his shipping and communication is second to none.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I tried to buy a copy of Family Guy for the PSP, but got a message from the seller saying not to pay because he lost his credit card and won't be able to mail the game.  Ummm, wtf?
