Do you care to sell just the CD of the jaguar with just the cords needed to hook it up. I have a jaguar all ready and have been looking for the CD.
Yes I will. Its proving hard to sell it all together for a decent price. I’m actually taking about a $125 loss at the $500 price. If anyone is interested in any individual items from either lot, just PM me and we can work something out.
Wow the replies in here are kinda crazy. In all honesty, I do not understand what is wrong with profiting from anything. I personally buy big lots of stuff for inexpensive prices and resell the items I dont want or already have. I then use that profit to purchase other gaming related things that I want. The first rule of business is to buy low and sell high. Selling games is literally a seller doing “business” with a buyer. If you feel the prices are too high, then move on to the next person. I own 26 systems and just over 3,000 games. Appropriately 75% of that came from doing the process above. Had it not been for that, I might not have gotten the chance to experience and enjoy alot of the games I own.
P.S.
Ben, if you ever decide you need or want to sell your collection, please let me know. I would love to fill holes in my collection at 4-5 year old prices ;).
Ahhh… Guardian War for the 3DO… that brings back some good memories. That was actually one of the very few RPGs that I played the whole way through, as I usually don’t like the monotonous turn-based nature of RPGs, but Guardian War did add that extra element of having to setup up your characters strategically as they go into each battle, and then it felt to me almost like a chess battle from then on out, which was so awesome. That game certainly had a certain charm that gripped me. I even left all of the animations on since they were so fun to watch, which probably made the game take 3 times as long as it could have taken. Ahhh yes… good times…
A lot of people seem to really enjoy this game but it just wasn’t for me. I am a very impulsive buyer at times and both of these bundles were just that. They were something that I never see locally and just had to buy to try them out. Unfortunately I honestly did not enjoy them as much as someone else hopefully will.
I shared an “interesting” conversation that I had with someone. It wasn’t making fun of them. As for this thread, this guy just simply asked a question in a polite manner and received ignorant replies. What a great way to welcome newcomers to our community. ..
Why does everyone have to be so pompous? Sorry but roms are not hosted on this site due to potential litigation issues. Just use google to find released roms. PVB does host roms for homebrew and unreleased games. Just look under games and then homebrew. The only 2 unreleased game roms available are Bound High and Faceball.
I would take the story of it not being a rental unit with a grain of salt. I can look past the booklets having stickers on them because they might have been rentals, but why did the case which im assuming was original to this unit have residue from a blockbuster sale sticker? If it was the managers personal unit and he just got rid of it, then why the sticker? Not that any of this really effects the value. It was just an observation that I had made.

There’s English and then there’s Yo bud wazzup? Dis offer gots the shades’ box or wut lol?? English.
Oh and in a lot of countries, English is a VERY common second, third, or even fourth language that children learn.
Oh really? And I thought those poor bastards in Europe had to get by using their cavespeak, seeing as they lack so many modern commodities such as electricity, central heating and refrigeration :-/
Guess it’s up to ‘Merica to teach them proper speech and decent values.

I’m always amazed at how English-speaking people assume their counterparts know enough colloquial English and idioms to keep track of what is being said.
The seller’s translation sucks, true. But your attempt at communication isn’t golden either.
Hello, so I’m assuming you mean that it is only the eye shade and no box? I mainly just want to know if the box is included. Thanks.
Yes, let’s start off with a complex sentence. Use the KISS principle. Split that up into multiple sentences which all follow SPO word order resp. PSO for questions.
Don’t use colloquial speech either. Say “without X” instead of “no X”. Much better chance being understood. Keep the adverbs and subjunctive clauses in check, too.
You mainly just want to possibly if it you oh-so-pleases maybe like to know?
Hello X!
Is auction only for eye shades? Is the box included?
I normally wouldn’t expect it but in this case I do. If you are going to list it on an English dominant auction site, you should be able to comunicate with potential buyers.
Most countries learn English as a second, third, or even fourth language. I honestly think they just tried using a poor translator. Btw, I’m multilingual.
