I'm cleaning house and clearing out all of my duplicate Master System and 32X games from when I was building those collections. I still have some Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast games that didn't sell from when I purged those a couple of years ago, in addition to some still sealed titles that I replaced with used copies in order to scan their manuals for my ratigators.com project.

All items start at $0.01 (I'm a huge fan of letting people decide what something is worth, even if it's next to nothing), with each additional game shipping for $1:

I'm recycling the funds towards picking up the last few 32X and Master System games I need to get a full set of manuals scanned in.

My brother also dropped off some PSP and DS items (along with some other random electronics) that I posted as well.  He upgraded to a Vita and has no need for the PSP, and the DS, according to him, he never uses anymore.

And for something completely random, my wife is having me list bottles and cloth diapers tonight since two kids is our theoretical limit and there's no need to hang on to the them (the bottles and diapers, not the kids :))

Thanks for any and all interest!

Also, for those that have been around since late 2010, you'll notice that my infamous Saturn Bomberman with missing back insert is up for sale :D

Could you maybe open those auctions up for international shipping? :)

I would definitely be interested in some stuff but can't see most of it.

Strange, I didn't do anything to lock it out.  I just used the crazy slow new eBay default selling interface that doesn't even ask.

I've had a few questions on international shipping, and I handle those on a case by case basis, based on eBay user feedback, number of ratings, and destination country (it seems almost everything shipped to Italy from the US gets lost).  Since I "know" you from here, I don't think there will be any problems.

Is there no way just to view all items by the same seller?  There should be 188 items currently (will be more tonight once I list the stuff my wife wants me to post).  I loath thinking I have to open up every one of those to edit, as I already did my brother's PSP & DS auctions, as I realized I didn't mention that any of them came with manuals (they all do, all mint condition, and along with any extra inserts they might have come with originally).

I'm European and clicking your link shows me all your 188 items.

Didn't try to bid yet.

BTW: You can circumvent some lockouts by using your Ebay account to log-in to other Ebay site.
I use my account (same account, no need to reregister) on US, UK, Australian, Italian, German and French Ebays.

I'll afford you the option.  Assuming 25MPG and $3.50 a gallon for gas, you are looking at spending $35 round trip on gas.  If I was you, as long as the shipping is less or at least close to that, I'd make me do the work packaging everything up and shipping it, unless you really want to spend 4 hour(s) on the road :)

I'm in the Louisville metro part (known here as Kentuckiana), so we are at opposite ends of the state :)

I will ship internationally on three conditions :)

1) Your eBay feedback isn't questionable.
2) You are willing to pay the shipping costs.  I charge what it actually costs to ship, plus a few bucks for packaging materials to ensure things arrive safely to the best of my ability, I don't pad shipping prices just to make more money.  I'm a fan of using the USPS flat rate boxes, and you can get a idea of the shipping cost based upon the size of the box (and how much you think you might bid on):

http://ircalc.usps.com/?country=10054

If you wanted to win 10 things, but only won 2, I'd expect you to still follow through with the transaction.

3) You agree to the fact that there are no returns or refunds.  Domestically, I can pay for insurance and tracking (and I almost always do).  Internationally, I don't have the same options.  So, I'll do everything I can to ensure things arrive safely, though, I can't be responsible if it arrives damaged or not at all.  I haven't done a ton of shipping internationally, though, thus far, I've never had a package arrive damaged or not at all (though, have had things held at the buyer's local post office for them to pickup without them realizing or held up for weeks in customs).

If all 3 of those conditions are fine by you, I hope you win what you are wanting.

Thanks for any and all interest!

No matter from which page I look at your items I just see 28 listed.

Ebay is just crap.

EDIT: Tricked Ebay into showing me everything. Harharhar!!!

AFAIK you need the boot-CD.  I'm not aware of any way to copy these, but it may be possible.  The CD is really the coveted part now.
