Somewhat optimistic .. I've seen sealed Sonic CD go for ?40-?50 .. but never ?100!

I was actually referring to ebay.de auctions that state "ship to Germany only". It had been suggested that these sellers don't want to ship internationally, but my opinion is that more likely they just don't want to have to deal with someone who doesn't speak German.

In my experience, I have found that polite communication in the seller's first language can often have positive results, whereas simply sending "HI! WILL YOU POST THIS TO ENGLAND?" probably wouldn't even get a reply.

Manners will get you a long way - and I think it is good manners to at least attempt to speak a little of someone's language if you want to buy something from them.

i always add a 'hallo' and 'danke'

OK, it's not so much the price that's shocking ... although it's a pretty good deal - but I can't believe you're allowed to have this ebay username (seller)!!:

Ah, nothing like a 10p listing day to bring out all the optimistic auctions ..

Sincerely doubt that is a full UK MD set though, but I could be wrong!

Well, he admits that Wily Wars is missing for a start. I've dealt with him in the past though, and remember him saying he only needed about 5 or 6 games a few months back, so I'd be inclined to believe that the rest are present (though it's probably just the Classics version of World Champ Soccer 2)
I'd be pretty surprised if he gets any serious offers though - PAL SMS & MD collectors tend to be cheapskates by nature

And too anal to even consider bidding without a full list of titles and which come with/without manual ...

Also begs the question ... if you've got a 100% complete collection except Wily Wars, why on earth stop one short?? If it were something that was really hard to find, perhaps I could understand it. But to stop 1 short, for a game that appears at least once a month .. why?

Well, I reckon it's more a speculative punt for the pre-Xmas market rather than anything else - he says he's not too desperate to sell.

He's German though. I think 20inchdick is German for 'Bob's videogame shop'

[adam_the_browndog]

isn't there an ebayer user called 'F*ck'

[Juste]

I guess you right (^_^). The seller said he did buy it new and tested it but I think items can still be kept in new condition even if used. I guess they are cheaper elsewere like you said but I thought maybe it was quite a good price for eBay?

I'm keeping well, how bout yourself? I'm still trying to collect those elusive items (^_^). Have you had any luck with yours?
