I need to take a holiday in Austria. If you ever find another 32x at around that price, please pick it up for me!

wiggy:
I feel inspired to make some genesis covers all of a sudden...

It's really not always like that. ;) I have to invest very many hours of freetime to get some good hauls. Today I missed out on a great deal sadly. A Mega Drvie with hookups and 30 complete games for 60 Euro. Was the second one who called. Oh well. no Sunset Riders, Ghouls n Ghosts, Rocket Knight Adv., Time Killers, etc. for me.

By the way sheep. Already got your game?

sheep2001:
No - not arrived yet :( Postal service is notoriously slow though - and have only had 2 things not arrive in over 2 and a half years - and one of those from eBay i suspect was never sent, so call it 1 package not arrive.

I just wish there was somewhere over here where i could get bargains - i miss the car boot sales of the UK. We do have Vide Greniers here (loft emptying sale) - but its usually moldy old clothes, skis from the 1960's and bits of farm machinery. Occasionally you will get a kid trying to sell crappy DS games for 10 euro a pop, and I once found a stack of Gamecube games for next to nothing, but it's just not worth the time investment usually. When i moved here, i thought i was going to be getting my hands on all the lovely RGB consoles for cheap - but it just hasn't happened yet.

Sorry to hear that sheep. I would still suggest to never give up though! :) I also go on flea markets every weekend in summer/spring and only get a real good deal maybe twice or trice a year.

Hope your game arrives soon. Was sent on Sept. the 6th.

By the way. Pickups from todays retro-fair here in austria! Was very nice with many cool guys, arcade-cabs to try and so much retro stuff. The price level was really insane though as many retailers were there. The best deals were to be had from privat sellers as always. Still got a pretty nice haul for little money.

So I am really proud that I didn't pay more than 15 Euro for anything. Except for Battletoads which cost me 17,50. ;)
