Calling all non-US resident Cover Project members!
wiggy:
So, this place seems to be about perfect for getting things that one would normally have a hard time accessing in one's home country. I know I've shipped at least 3 packages to some of you guys outside of the US and I've got another GIANT box that'll be on its way to the down under before too long.
Don't know why I didn't think to ask here before. I've been trying to hunt down the EU/JPN only Gameboy Micro colors. I check eBay all the time, but shipping it often INSANE for just one unit. I will gladly pay 50, 60, whatever in shippint costs if I can manage to get 3 or 4 at once.
So, my question is, are any of you able to easily track down a Pink, Purple, Green, and Blue micro for me? I would love a red one too, but I think they're some sort of rare, Australia-only limited edition (*cough* Azarkhel *cough*). What? I always blurt out "Azarkhel" in the middle of a couple coughs. You don't? Loose is fine, and actually preferred if it'll save me some $$$. I'm just gonna case the damn things anyway. No sense in throwing yet another box in my closet.
So, anyone able to help?
Azarkhel:
Just send me links to any auctions you want won and how much your willing to spend, I'm happy to do the middle man thing.
wiggy:
Thanks!
Well, they aren't up super often (pink is up pretty much all the time, but the others not as much), and they tend to come from various EU countries. I was hoping someone had access to a local shop or something that might have them so I didn't have to pay for shipping twice (which may entirely negate what I'm trying to do here, depending on how much the initial shipping charges are :-\)
Where are you specifically? I wonder if I can use eBay to calculate shipping to a country other than the one that I'm in?
Azarkhel:
I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Don't worry about shipping inside Australia as its generally cheap as hell, happy to just eat the cost as a return favor.
wiggy:
That would be sweet! Ok, lemme go check some Australian eBay auctions.
Also, sorry, I've got screen name mental retardation today. I put Doc Agon as my callout in the 1st post, when I clearly meant you. Then, on top of that, I didn't even look at your screen name when I replied (on my phone). If I had taken 2 seconds more I would have seen that it was you and that I have your exact address already. Derp, my bad. I feel like a goon.
But seriously, thank you!
