I never seem to get any great wins :cry:
most likely because im a bit fussy about condition :mrgreen:

I did win a CIB copy of starfox for SFC recently, got it for 99p & £2 postage.

Cheapest ever? Hmmm can't remember the cheapest but certainly one that sticks out in my memory was a Complete Spanish SNES Cool World on the SNES for about £40 on a BIN.

A recent cheapy win was 5d's Stardust Accelerator on the DS for £1.04 (£2.50 p&p).

Best bit was that the seller thought that he'd overcharged on p&p so refunded me a quid as well. CEX sells it currently for £18 but more importanty gives a tenner for it exchange.

not cheapest, but certainly great deals in the past.

Modified boxed Sega Saturn with Region switch and 50HZ/60HZ switch. with around 20 games including Darius, Parodius, Bomberman, WWF in your house, All pal. + Metal Slug Elevator action returns on Jap. and the usual Sega rally, Virtua fighter ETC. and the real clincher Boxed Megaman X3 PAL version with manual. All for a grand total 0f £56 plus £10 P&P

Gamecube with modified lid to allow full sized DVDs, Custom Bios with built in action replay codes, Custom Communication port with cable to allow connection to PC. Toatally region Free and it has language selection. ( Someone told me they think it might be some sort of Dev Unit ) with several JAP, US, and PAL games including both megamn collections boxed, Dreammix TV fighters. and The very sought after action rplay max version 1.14. I payed around £65 for the lot. I sold the Action replay by itself to a US buyer, who paid £124 for it.

Boxed PAL A miracle Piano for the NES complete for £40.

Boxed Amstrad GX4000 with 21 games ( including Coptor 271 ) for £120

Boxed in mint condition Supergrafx with 10 games including Supergrafx enhancded games Granzort, Darius, Battle ace and Ghouls and ghosts plus normal games Chase HQ, Ninja warriors, Rtype 1 and 2, streetfighter II, and Bravoman. £46


These are the ones I always talk about to get my friends a little jealous.

Its amazing what slips by the rader sometimes, All I can suggest is to keep checking Toys and games - all games - Electronic games.

Thats where I found most of these. too many people fighting over stuff in the normal Videogames category.

Boxed Astro Boy edition of the Game Box Light. Superb condition and complete will all documentation in an excellent box for just £6.00. I put a bid in on it on Boxing Day back in 1999 (when eBay was still relatively new) and came home from visititng family to find I had won it.

I also got my copy of LAKERS Vs. CELTICS AND THE NBA PLAYOFFS (Mega Drive) for less than £30.00 delivered.

does it count if I use my recent ebay quarrel in this topic? Bought a snes adaptor - didnt work bla bla, finally got my money back and i have reposted the stuff back to him. His original postage charge was pricey when I bought the items so ive sent it super duper 2nd class... so if anything ive made a little profit.

I might be being dumb here, but surely if you send it back then you will be at a loss of whatever the postage costs you, you will get a refund of orginal cost to you.

Probably a AUD$50 (30 quid) Saturn console bundle purchase about 2 years ago, but that wasn't the best part, when I went to pick it up the guy gave me the rest of his 'worthless' old consoles which included 4 SNES consoles and accessories :D

I paid more than it should have costed me and I got a full refund of that price, not the actual postage cost. I've literally made a few pence, if not is quid. A small victory is still a victory ;)
