Some time you wish you had more money.

Finaly, Clies 2 day Japanese Mega Drive clear out is over on the swedish auctions site tradera. It was an odd experience, every single game I ever wanted for my collection and a few I had to read about was up for sale.

Things like:

Japanese Wonder Mega complete in box with everything
Never used boxed japanese mega Drive in mint condition.
Undead Line
Gleylancer
Twinkle Tale
Battleship Gomorra
Divine Sealing
Rainbow Island
Yu Yu Hakushu
Splatter House 2+3
And tons more.

Since these games rarely or never gets listed on tradera the prices were much to high for me to win anything really decent. Still I managed to snag:

Dragons Eye (Mah Jong)
Power Athlete (Fighting game)
Rastan Saga 2
Heavy Unit Special
Bare Knuckles 3.

But there were so many fun and odd games....and I wanted them all. Og why couldnt there be more $$$ in my wallet?

I know how you feel... I was there, got outbid on all of my wanted auctions. Before, I always bidded way over the average price on many games, and got them, with a big hole in my pocket. Now I try to be more economic, but never get any games :/.

One good thing is that a lot of people at Tradera with big wallets are unaware of eBay and its greatness. Therefor you can get many games cheaper at eBay than at Tradera, Phantasy Star IV for example.

True that.

Im mainly pissed about missing Gleylancer. 500 was a bit cheap. I should have made it 600. It would still have been cheaper than getting it on Ebay.

watched it too, did bid on a couple but didnt win anything either

very entertaining though, cant believe what some imo pretty crappy games went for...

I do consider it a bugger that I am not a billionaire, living in a large castle upon a large estate, surrounded by hundreds of beautiful naked women attending to my every whim.

I missed it.. 500 for Gleylancer is Not cheap though! It's not even that great.

I think I payed around $60 or a bit more for my Gleylancer. Is that cheap? I like the game just fine, it is good but it's not the best shooter ever made. Divine Sealing is.

I would say that 60$ is very cheap for Gleylancer if it was complete and in good condition. Its not the rarest of the forgotten 5. Ive seen in on ebay a number of times. Usually with a set price of 100$+ And while it might be a while before it goes. It always get bought in the end.

Im not sure about the rarity of the FF. But I do know that Eliminate down is by far the rarest one. I still havent seen it available. Ever.

After that It might be a tie between Undead Line and Battle mania 2. Closely followed by panorama cotton.

I think Gleylancer is the most common one. But still rare.

How many copies of the FF were made? I only know Panorama Cotton's number is 5000.

I have Panorama Cotton, so that means there are only 4,999 floating around for you guys to get one.

I have it too. In an original Sunsoft box!

Oh yeah? Well so do I! Hmph.

Picture?

And Zeebe, didn't you find the tea cup too, or am I mixing up stories?

Nope, I don't drink tea, so I skipped it :)

I thought someone here had the Panorama Cotton teacup.

Xbino, I think thats his name does.

Yeah, and he had ONLY the tea cup. Not the game!

I once bidded on a complete copy of Duke Nukem 3D, and although I was bidding 70,-€ I lost. Damn, that was frustrating!

I know this has been said, and I know roughly what a complete copy of PC goes for, but how much do you think it could fetch if it was the complete game with the teacup? I'm guessing a spleen and and a kidney but Im not sure.

$200-300 is my guess.

Well, I guess now there is someone here who has the game and the teacup. Me! :D

I recommend getting a picture of the cup & game and use them as your Avatar.

Now you just need AIDS and your collection will be complete. Panorama Cotton + teacup + AIDS = ultr@ r@re. I actually think there is no-one who has all three of those.

Nice. Is that an offer?

I'm afraid not. You will have to look elsewhere to complete your collection. Suggestion: Africa.

My my, you are quite the internet tough guy, with your noob-baiting and your humorous racism :love:

Last I checked Africa was indeed a great place to acquire AIDS.

Ah, enlightenment all around ... funny how I managed to come back without it really. How extraordinarily lucky of me. :roll:

We are all enlightened here at Sega-16. It is a REQUIREMENT. Some of us are also hoity-toity, but that's more of a privilege.

Oh, absolutely - perhaps once I've got 500 or so posts under my belt, I too can aspire to the heights of witticism of telling someone to go to Africa and get AIDs. It's good to have something to work towards ...

Agreed, ever since I reached the 500 post mark I have been revealing in recommending visiting Africa to get AIDS. Jokes about fatal pandemics always put a smile on my face.

I thought 1,000 posts was necessary???

All joking aside, though, try not to take yourself or the forums too seriously. If you do, you'll be boring and you certainly won't have any fun here.

Dude, I CAN'T be racist against Africans, since my forefathers come from there. Sure, it was some 10 000 years ago, but the one drop rule counts, so I am actually black.

Cool, one of my relatives :cool:.

Mr Smith's rough guide to acceptable humorous racism compared to post count

1 - The French: No nation in the world likes the French.

10 (If European) - Other European Countries: No matter what our governments tell us we hate each other. Exaggerated stereotypes are good here (E.g. All Dutch people wear clogs and live in windmills)

10 (If American) - The Southern States: Despite your civil war ending many years ago, a hick is still a hick. Obviously this does not apply to people from the south as electricity hasn't arrived there yet and they are too busy inbreeding/playing the banjo to worry about such things.

25 (If American) - Canada: They are semi-French. Nobody in the rest of the world is aware of them and just considers them an extension of America.

100 (If American) - Europeans: Backwards group of countries across the Atlantic Ocean. At least half are Commies the rest are colonial mega-lo-maniacs. France is in Europe.

100 (If not American) Americans: Once a shining light of democracy and freedom, they have turned into an oil greedy nation who cares nothing for the rest of the planet. Their president is loathed throughout the globe (and 49% of these people voted for him)

500 - Africans: Some would argue Africa’s problems arise from globalisation exploiting them as well as the sale of weapons and struggles following the end of European Colonialization. Others would say they eat human flesh, worship the sun/moon and dance around wearing virtually no clothes. Recommendations to visit here to get AIDS are now acceptable.

1000 (If European) - Americans with reference to World War II: Took too long to enter the war and claim all the glory for winning it. If from the East of Europe annoyance for allowing your country to fall under the control of Commies.

1000 (If American) - Europeans with reference to World War II: Fought for the Allies and then had to pay for the privilege. Hitler was from Europe (Austria to be exact).

5000 - The Japanese: They get all the good games and are far too clever. They also all know martial arts.

10000 - The Middle East: Insults about the Jews and the Arabs are now acceptable. They are going to end up nuking each other at some point. Blatant anti-Semitism that would make the Nazi's seem like a tolerant regime is now acceptable.


Mr Smith holds no resposiblilty for any banning or warning from Melf or his band of power crazy moderators (Vinny and Joe) as a result of using this guide.

Since I've passed 1000 posts I would like to say that the Red Army destroyed 70% of the Nazi army, and that Normandie battle there is a 1000 movies and books about telling it was the determing point of the war was like a sandbox fight compared to what happened in the eastern Europe. Also, the Britons invented the concentration camps and had used them waaaay before the Nazis, Winston Churchill was a racist too and he didn't want peace until every German town was destroyed.

I wish I could add this to the forum FAQ.

But I can,'t, because i'm crazy with power

This is post no.1000 for me! Hooray!

*reading Mr Smith´s guide*

Ah...well...

Stupid Americans! Joining the game after we already used up half of our ressources and then claiming it´s a big thing to be on the winning side!
Only France is worse, having lost, having been conquered and saved by others to call itself a winner afterwards!

So, was this enough to celebrate my 1000st post?
