Tell me about it. I got ripped off when I spend £20 on a copy without the box. And then I basically missed a much better copy that appeared the next week

.

Mind you, I wish I'd bought it when it first came out.

My mate picked up a certain original poster for a certain movie on ebay and got it signed by a certain someone I work for... doubled in value!

gillyruless · 10-18-2005, 01:49 PM

The best deal I got was a lot of AGs I got for an out 30 bucks. It did have some clunkers, Webmaster, Beyond Time, The Ward, and Temujin. But it also had gems like Amber:Journey Beyond, Blade Runner, TM:UKM, TM

D, Legend of Lotus Spring, Shivers 1, Shivers 2, Dust: A Tale of the Wired West, and Blackstone Chronicles. I still can't believe I got all of those games for 25 bucks!

Are you certain?

*guffaw*

squarejawhero · 10-18-2005, 01:50 PM

Certainly.

The cheapest find I got was Eric the Unready for 1$, but the best purchase is hard to tell...

-I once got the Id Anthology which has every Id Software game until Quake and tons of neat stuff....

-I got Lucasarts Classics Adventures, one of my first bids...

-I recently got a Mega CD and 32X with tons of games and among them Snatcher, Time Gal, and Sonic CD...

-And how can I forget when I won an auction for a ton of ols school PC games? I got Dr. Riptide, Abuse, yet another copy of Prince of Perisa, Wrath of the Demon, Zorro, Duke Nukem II, Hocus Pokus...

I was probably happiest with the auction where I bought Dean Koontz's "Velocity". Got a brand new hardcover book (mint condition), and retailing at the time for $20-30, for only $5.99 shipped. Good book, BTW. I love bargain hunting on Ebay.

Cool. and pricey.

21UX or 17SX

-----------------------

Personally only bought a couple of items from EBay.

A Japanese PSP just after the Jap release and months before the UK release date.

Plus some games for the PSP.

squarejawhero · 10-19-2005, 04:29 AM

Neither. An older 15' er. Still cool, less pricey.

But it's only £2,172.58 for the 21' version.

I was going to get 2 of them

You need to get a job where they buy you one.

Not just you, cock. I'm talking to everybody.

Erwin_Br · 10-20-2005, 07:56 AM

Hmmm, I bought The Neverhood, The Last Express, Discworld 1 & 2... All for very reasonable prices, and in mint condition with their original boxes.

I think my sealed, boxed, director's cut edition of Realms of the Haunting might be my favourite purchase now.

Hmm. I don't remember ever buying anything *really* exciting on eBay. I do rather like the set of near-mint Sliders comics I bought on eBay, however.

A have a few neat second-hand things I've gotten in places other than eBay, though.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Mind you, it will be decidedly less special once I open it to play the damn thing (I don't keep sealed games).
