  1. Of course you should ship, but first check user's reputation/feedback. Check if 99/100% positive and many purchases. Or tell us his user name, I may know some guys around here.
  2. Won't buy his Mr. Do's Castle either. Piece of shit.
  3. I am looking for this Basic Math. Wouldnt you ship to Brazil?
  4. I was interested in that one: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 271463774295 however I dont like the pictures and the seller asked me to call him. Weird.
  5. Never heard of that. Why there are no screenshots on the web site? However, I've found this video: http://vimeo.com/9592601
  6. I am ok with chrisballer after we talked about, nice. As for benny, for me it's very weird that someone other than the original post owner gets angrier than him on defending the same points. Looks like a flame lover to me. Good night, guys.
  7. I accept the apologies chrisballer, no hard feelings. bojay1977 has a nice point of view. Indeed, what I like about AA is that I usually have the opportunity of buying stuff for the FAIR price as opposite to ebay which seems to be overpriced lately. Here at AA, it's possible to do such nice business, maybe cause it's easier to sell, no need to build eBay ads, paying fees, etc, thanx for pointing that out. Maybe it's my fault, but I didnt really check the pictures before making the offer. I was travelling and I rushed to PM instead of looking for the pictures to see if they were mint or not, but you also gave me your general impression about overall condition. I just didn't get, untill now, what the hell is bennybingo doing... seems to be chrisballer's lawyer, something like that... LOL. Never mind.
  8. I assume US$ 300 for 6 games in a lot it's not a insult.There's a Commando for around US$ 70 in ebay right now, so buying a bigger lot, I want a better price per cart. Is this wrong??? In any case, it was a question, not a gun in the head. It's very simple to reply telling something like "for uS$ 400 I can do it" like normal educated people. This whole "insult" bullshit is really a new way to excuse lack of manners in responding a possible buyer. Which is really stupid, considering I have bought many expensive games in the past from many members here. For me, this lack of reply it's a insult, no the opposite, but who knows, you guys really have a strange way of thinking. I tell you what - instead of ASKING FOR OFFERS, put the price.... it's really a total nosense asking for offers in PM and then ignoring you possible buyers. Not to say it's very dumb... Since I am a business man and run commercial operations, I know how to treat potential customers, of course you two dont have a single ideia of how to do this. Put you guys to run a shop and you throw customers away, you both gonna broke.
  9. Well, LACK OF EDUCATION it's really an excuse nowadays... 20 messages is nothing! I receive more than 100 emails daily on my job, not counting personal ones. I believe non social people like you chrisballer should stay away from AA. I personally wouldnt buy from such a jerk who write this rude post reply to people who are honestly interested in doing business. Here's my never replied PM to this "very fine" AA member, who allegedly received "no real offers":
  10. I sent PM, but received no reply.
  11. Hello. this post is from 2005! Whow it took only about 9 years for someone to reply... hehe. I do have this title nowadays, but I know people who could work maybe around US$ 100 for it. Send pics if interested.
  12. Interested in a small lot. Sending PM
  13. Unfortunately, there are dishonest people that give us sometimes a very bad rep.
  14. How about point them here to discuss? Sometime ago I opened a dispute and money was chargebacked by PayPal. Later, I received the cart. I looked for the seller and paid him again.
  15. Dont mean to sound arrogant here, but I have some authority on this subject. I was about to post something about that, since I'm seeing this post, I couldnt help writing. I also suggest pinning this topic. I have received more than 300 packages from the entire world during many years. I know what is going on with our loved and f**** country (that is, Brazil). Sometimes our mail employees goes on strike - that delays stuff pretty much. Other times, customs do slow work or simply hold packages by no known reason, and that delays stuff a lot. For those reasons, the deadline for packages delivery sent via USPS, for example, goes from 2 or 3 weeks to 7 months (not kidding). Because of that,obviously PayPal and eBay's customer protection won't work. 45 (or even 60) days is simply not enough to aknowledge if a package will arrive or not. Some recent examples: - Envelope from Italy with a Game inside: 2 weeks (fast) - Box from US with 30 games inside: 3 weeks (very fast) - Box with 6 sealed games from our beloved friends in Venezuela: 5 months - Box with 30 games from our same friends in Venezuela: 1 month - Small box with 1 boxed game from the US: 4 months - Small box with 4 loose games fomr the US: 5 months Having said that, in my experience, LARGER packages arrive FASTER. Smaller ones tend to take months. I have never lost a big package, so I recommend to ship bigger lots. Eventually, I havent received some packages. I can assume they are lost, seller didnt send them or, who knows, they will take 7 months to arrive here. Recently I have been receiving many delayed packages. To add for that, there's not an effective way to track those packages. The only secure way would be to ship via courier, but that's expensive. There are dishonest people working in the mail system in Brazil, I have one package opened and some stuff inside robbed, other package opened and nothing stolen. When shipping about 100 carts and 6 consoles from one State of Brazil to another, I had then entire US$ 2,500 packages stolen, but in that case, thieves have stolen the mail guys. This kind of stuff has become much common lately. Well, Rio de Janeiro seems to be riskier than São Paulo, but outer boundaries of São Paulo and agregated cities are dangerous too, that's where my big lot was stolen. Finally, if something arrives missing stuff here, we dont have many options other than accept them like they are or return to the mail, which will lead all the way back to abrod, taking several weeks in the process. In the general sense, even considering that, it's worth to have stuff shipped via USPS, which goes into Brazil mail system. Few packages are really lost, so it's still very much worth the risk. Also, you guys must realize our customs charge 60% on top of declared value + shipping value. So, if you ship a US$ 300 game with a US$ 20 shipping we will have to pay US$ 192 of taxes (60% calculated over US$ 320). That is why we usually ask you to underdeclare invoices.... I do prefer the risk of losing something from time to time since insurance wont cover the real value of an underdeclared stuff, than to pay insane taxes over 40 years old games. You people always help when you agree to declare lower, keeping in mind customs can open the boxes, so there's no point in sending the real invoice inside the package. Please guys - DO NOT AVOID shipping to Brazil. It really frustrates me to see there are expensive games I cannot bid simply because you dont wanna ship here. One buyer is what it takes to double the price of a dispute sometimes.

  17. Hello guys, I'm selling a Dactar 007 from my personal collection. Condition I can say is very good and it comes with the original "phone cable" joysticks + original paddles, which are kinda hard to find. Working condition of all controls is great. Image shows some artifacts, however I prefer not to fuss with the console. Someone could probably change the antena cable, however if you are to maintain it on a collection, I wouldnt recommend it doing so. Price is US$ 350 + shipping.
  18. Please PM with prices shipped to Brazil. I can get both but it depends on shipping price. Thanx
  19. Please see if you can ship to Brazil and PM how much, for the 9 game lot. thx
  20. Interested in Obelix and Rubik's, and very curious about Music Machine... if you could PM with a price idea... cheers,
  21. Jay I must correct you, there's a total of 10 carts from "Microsoft" which was, in fact, "MICRODIGITAL" company pirating Microsoft's name. The carts are NTSC and run well in NTSC consoles, as all carts manufactured in Brazil.
  22. Let the world know that I have a picture of you wearing this costume. Who knows what can I do with it.
