Are they rare or something?

Your missing the Sega Power sticker. Keep looking!!!

I honestly don't care about this. Finding World Cup 94 took two years.

As for rarity? Hulk and Winter Olympics are everywhere. I just for some reason had an issue finding World Cup 94.

I was winding you up!!

I assumed so. How is your MD collection coming along?

[mr_wistles]

I need about 30. Have most of the tough ones now. Still a couple of "non-rares" that I am yet to see complete.

Very tempted to get myself one of those Mega Drives - only thing is I ALWAYS get hit by customs - wonder if the seller would drop price to ?18 as I believe thats the limit...
Shame he doesn't have any Super Nintendos.

Customs don't check the price of the ebay auction and it doesn't matter what it sold at. If they catch something coming through they have their own list for electronics/games etc and just fine you from that. So it doesn't matter if it cost ?18 or ?100. You can however ask the guy to mark it down to roughly ?5 value and hope it slips through.

The desire to do my own GBC frontlight mod has been lurking at the back of my mindbrain ever since Cauterize posted his on here. So I finally got round to doing it today, and here's the result

That looks lovely. Is there a tutorial somewhere?

oh yeah, I should have mentioned.

There's also this one, which goes into more detail, and also advises the anti-glare sticker, but it's in Japanese.

Superb

I love the brick style Gameboy. I bought a Gameboy Light, but I found the LCD screen to be blurry when there was a lot of action on screen (playing any platformer the screen smeared into a horrible mess). In contrast, the Gameboy Colour screen is pin sharp, so should look great after a frontlight mod.

Customs don't check the price of the ebay auction and it doesn't matter what it sold at. If they catch something coming through they have their own list for electronics/games etc and just fine you from that. So it doesn't matter if it cost £18 or £100. You can however ask the guy to mark it down to roughly £5 value and hope it slips through.

I always assumed they went by the declared value? Last thing I was charged on was a Panasonic Q (in fairly poor condition) from the US and they just did the calculation from the $100 price that was declared on the customs sheet. Surely they would need quite a large list (or database) if they did it any other way?

Easy answer to that is have the seller declare $5 on the item. If customs catch you they will simply charge you a standard rate as they don't have a list of items with costs.
