Hey all, Ending soon are over 200 items of classic Sega goodness. All of the optical media Sega consoles are reasonably well represented with a wide array of rare and hit titles, most are complete, some even factory sealed. The prices are about as low as is possible, nearly every item starts at $.99 or less regardless of value. The only items that start at over $.99 are the consoles themselves which start at $9.99. I also combine shipping at $2 per game ($3 outside North America). Here's the link: http://shop.ebay.com/secretsintherocks/m.h...sop=1&_sc=1 Oh yeah there's also a few Nintendo NES items including 30 or so games. Thanks!

It is addictive, I've been buying an average of one thing every two days. At least you can get great deals compared to most game stores.

You have some really good prices in there, if I didn't already have every Genesis game I would be hitting some BINs...

IT'S JUST TWO PIECES OF BUBBLE WRAP! Another Ebay rant.

If you still want to be able to make an insurance claim on a damaged item that was not packed properly, repack it. Remove the shipping label(s), pack it by the USPS guidelines, make sure to put the little broken pieces in there, reattach the labels and submit it. Just remember you won't get the item back though if the claim gets paid, so it probably isn't what you want to do in this situation since it ended up working. -
I have some of the games you are looking for on eBay right now. The link is in my sig.

What is the best NES clone system available today?

With all the problems these systems seem to have I don't know why people wouldn't just buy the originals. Perfect compatibility, excellent controllers, great video output... -
What's your favorite videogame sound effect?
nebrazca78 replied to lushgirl_80's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I love the sounds of Quake 1. The soundtrack is Nine Inch Nails which is great too, but... The shooting sound of the weaker nailgun The sound when you shoot those white flying creatures... "Guh" The sound the Vore makes when you kill it The sound the grenade makes when it hits the ground... "Tink" From other games... The sound it makes on Street Fighter Alpha when you change or make selections on the beginning screens The sound on DOOM when you totally blow someone up The sequence of sounds on Panzer Dragoon Saga when Azel does "Ne-rai" -
anybody else who wasn't a fan of the nes?

When I was growing up I had Commodre 64, Atari 7800, Sega Master System and NES. Here's my opinion on the systems in the order I got them: Commdore 64 + cheap games + keyboard + games almost always worked - entire setup was more expensive (mostly due to buying the monitor I suppose) - fewer memorable games - no good controllers - floppy discs instead of carts - games came in cardboard boxes Atari 7800 + the few games it did have were good + inexpensive hardware + games always worked + system looks cool - hardly any games - terrible controller - games came in cardboard boxes - RF output only Sega Master System + easily the best graphics of the four + highest number of good games (by percentage and total) + games came in plastic cases + composite output + games always worked + system looks cool + more mature games + excellent later box art - mediocre controller (weak d-pad, no start button) - mediocre early box art - two-color manuals - ugly cart labels - SMS II has no composite output or card slot plus was highly irrelevant when released Nintendo NES + best controllers by far + high number of good games (not by percentage) + composite output + excellent box and cartridge art + excellent manuals - game library is overloaded with cutesy, soul-less and boring games - mediocre graphics on most games - system looks boring - screwing with the system to get games to work - reliable and better looking toaster NES has no composite output plus was highly irrelevant when released - games came in cardboard boxes Then when Genesis came out none of this mattered to me and my brother anyway... -
I understand that you want to pay actual shipping and make offers. The problem is that it's not practical for me to sell in the way you describe. You have said in the past that it would be better for me not to list on eBay but to take offers from people. I have tried this before. Taking offers on such a large amount of games is extremely time consuming. Yes I get more money per game taking offers but it takes MONTHS of constant messaging and haggling with literally hundreds of people to sell such a large amount. When I list on eBay I know that it will all wrap up in a single week. Then I don't have to do anything until the next time I build up a ton of duplicates to my collection. I am willing to take the monetary hit in exchange for my time. Since this is the case and I must sell like this, I can't take offers from anyone regardless of the shipping rate. It's not fair to the people who are already bidding/watching to take offers and then end the auctions early. Not only is it unfair but it's against eBay regulations. BTW when I used to take offers through the forums I did charge actual shipping. But with everything starting so low on eBay combined shipping must stay at $2 per game. If you would just adjust your bids slightly to compensate for this perceived indiscretion, we could both be happy. Also thanks for your past business, I didn't realize you had ordered from me before.

I wasn't saying you don't have the right to post, I was just asking why you keep posting saying the same thing. I thought we agreed to disagree last time. Moreover you appear to be in the extreme minority on this one, my DSR for shipping and handling costs is 4.8 out of 5. Most eBay sellers charge more than $2 a game for combined shipping and they usually don't start their games at $.99 or less either. But I'll tell you what. If you want to pay $10 a game I will give you $5 shipping. Last time you won three games averaging under $2 per game. Shipping for those three games was $8 bringing the total to about $14. If you would rather pay $35 instead of $14, no problem. You say there are 15 games you want, so send me $155 and I will send you the games. In fact, just make it $150 even and I will give you FREE shipping. Problem solved. This site is fun and I have posted in another topic before. While I do have an Atari 7800 and about 30 games, I am more of a Sega fanatic and spend most of my time in the Sega 8-bit and Digitial Press forums. I have spent a couple hours checking out the rarity guides and learning about the different Atari consoles though. Interesting stuff. I am just getting ready to photograph the Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast games and will be listing them tonight. Sonic Adventure is one of them. How's the band going, did you get signed yet?
