    How did you happen to come across 5 boxed units of a rare Japanese system in Sweden, when even people in Japan can't find them?

     

    Contacts! :)

     

    I "never" lie but I really don't have time to put up this story. But beleive me, it's true. Please ask Marco Kerstens. I guess you have seen all my auctions? Didn't you buy one of my units as well?

     

    Maybe it was this one:

    >but I've never seen a boxed 2800 come up in an Ebay auction before

     

    Strange since I have sold at least 5 boxed units the last 2 years.

     

    >I am surprised that no one has killed the buy it now. $750

     

    My first sold for 500 Euro. The last one went for $300 if I remember correctly.

     

    I think this is one of two units that I've sold privately together with a huge collection half a year ago. It was then sold to this guy I think. He is from Sweden as well as me.

    If you think you'll get more than what something will sell for on Ebay, you're mistaken.  

     

    Not quite true. Maybe these days but not some months ago:

    Over $600 that time since two guys here took the bait. Was never out on ebay. And I know that there is possible to sell really Minty stuff on forums to collectors higher than on ebay. Neogeo.com is the proof. The buyers could also feel a little safer on forums. Ebay could be tricky too. Once I sold an item for $250. Three weeks later, $50. Damn!

    I have the SW game Attack on the Deathstar for the Japanese X68000. I know it's available for the Japanese PC98 (ehh?) too. I can't play it since I don't have a X68000. There is one tiny, bad picture in the manual showing what happens within the game. I can hardly see what's going on but it seems to be a little similar to the Arcade game, but I'm not sure.

     

    Anyone?

    As you all know there are some games (four so far what we know) for the Arcadia that were Japan only releases. Never released in any form in US or Europe. They are Doreamon, Dr. Slump, Macross and Gundam. Doreamon and Dr. Slump are really rare even in Japan but nothing compared to Macross or Gundam. I am most likely wrong now but what I know of, there are only two Macross and one Gundam ever found. Anyway, rare as hell. What you see on the pictures is what you get. I'm asking $350 + shipping from Sweden.

    I've got my personal holy grail today. As you probably know (oh, you didn't...) there is only one 256 color version of Lucasfilm/arts Zak mcKracken on any platform ever; namely Fm Towns/Fm Towns Marty. And look at the box and the cards. Very different from the other variations. Very Anime if you ask me. And it's on both on Japanese and English.

     

    You can't imaging how happy I am. So please gratulate me a couple of times here :-)

     

    Thanks

    I think someone else mentioned one of these before

     

    The reason I posted these were because some guys wanted more info when I first told them that I got the, until now, undiscovered bag.

     

    I wonder if there are exclusive Japanese Vectrex games..

     

    No, there are no exclusive games for Japan. The difference is that the Japanese games has different cart labels and Bandai stickers glued all over. However, Scramble wars (Scramble) and Harmagedon (Star Trek) have everything integrated in the box and different overlays + different cart labels.

    At least when it comes to send Star Trek TNG seasons on DVD to Sweden. Air of course. I have bought 3 seasons from Canada and they have all arrived in three days. That's half the globe. The ones from US took 7 days. The record for me is a registered mail from the US (takes 2-3 days mostly) which took 1.5 months to get me. It was $400 in it so were a little worried.
