I was thinking about flogging my Ni No Kuni too! Have you had a look at prices on ebay? Worth sticking on there? I've used DLC too but Drippy is sealed.

Tiger, how much does an arcade stick go for? Not hugely interested, just curious.

Depends on the make and components, but the ones I'm selling are generally thought of as the standard and are at the higher end price wise, unless you're going for a custom job. They use Sanwa components, which is what they use in the arcades in Japan, and sell for between 90-130quid, typically. There have been numerous different versions released now, some being worth more than others.

My Chun-Li stick is pretty rare (only 2000 made for each console) and I'm trying to get as much money as I possibly can for it! I have it listed for 150quid on eBay, but I'm hoping to get more. PS3 version is going for 165 used on Amazon, and almost 400 new(!). 

The smaller stick above originally came with far inferior components and originally cost 60-70. I think they go for 40-50 now, though I've replaced all the parts with the aforementioned Sanwa kit, so I'd be hoping to get 50-60 exc. postage.

I've also got a White Madcatz stick as shown below, which I'm hoping to get 80-90 for. That, again, comes with Sanwa components, though they are a little tired from use.

I have recently come into possesion of some vinyl and want to get some Technics 1210s. To do this I am going to ahve to sell my Traktor S4 Dj Controller. Thought I would see if anyone here is interested before ebaying.



It is a great piece of kit that has served me well but I find loading up the computer to mix a bit of a bus man's holiday and now want to move to Vinyl/CD mixing.

It comes with the official Traktor software, never been out of the house so it is in great condition. Boxed, manuals the lot. Plus "Traktor Bible 2" a full on textbook of how to use it fully.

£450

Would if I could.

If anyone has a GBA micro they'd be willing to part with for CASH MONEY, I am interested. Within the next couple of weeks would be grand. PM me please.

I bought one for my nephew a couple of years ago (a blue one), and I upgraded him to Hodge's old DS at Christmas.  If it's still in good nick, would you fancy that?  I'm assuming it's just sitting in a drawer somewhere as all his old games work on the DS.  I don't think he's ever had proper cash money in notes, so I'm sure a reasonable offer would be accepted.  I've got no idea what a reasonable offer is for a Micro is mind, but I'm sure he'd undercut Ebay by a decent amount.

Cheers Tiger, interesting read. Always thought about getting one, but I'm not a beat 'em up fan really so don't think it would get any real game-time. Have you ever used them with any other types of games - what are they like?

They're most used for beat 'em ups and shmups (Ikaruga, Dodonpachi, etc), but I've found them to be really well suited to a lot of XBLA content. Castle Crashers, Braid, Limbo, Pacman (while half asleep at Nick's house), Streets of Rage II... I've played a reasonable amount of all those games with a stick and they've all played well. I'd hesitate to say it improved any of those barring Castle Crashers and Streets of Rage though - It's just different control method. I liked it, but some wouldn't. Most 16-bit games seem to play pretty well. Platformers are well suited, I think, and classic arcade games are great. There's something very satisfying about hitting the buttons on a stick.

There are few budget sticks out there that cost 40quid new and are compatible with 360, PS3, and PC. The components aren't anywhere as nice, but unless the stick is going to see regular use it's hard to recommend Madcatz stuff.

I'm trying to muster up funds for an AC 3DSXL so I've got these up on the bay right now:


OG pure white Japanese DS





Yoshi's Island for SNES with players guide




I've also got the following I'll be putting up any day now:

Final Fantasy IV for GBA / Complete, minor wear to box / £13

Final Fantasy Chronicles for PS1 / with Chrono Trigger + FF IV / NTSC / immaculate condition / green spine / £20

@Moot_Geeza Yes please. Let me know if he's willing to part with it for starters. Ebay is showing about £30, and I'd feel bad for offering too much less than that to a young lad, especially if it's on good condition (and with the charger would be grand).

Cheers.

I'm going to put Gears 2 limited edition on eBay soon but thought I would check here first if anyone is interested. Its in great condition still and the DLC code is unused.

Does it go for much cos I'm actually giving mine away? Someone has already claimed it and I'll be posting it soon. Unused DLC and in mint mint mint condition.

Hard to tell, I think this one is the same as what I have:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-GEARS-OF-WAR-2-LIMITED-EDITION-DLC-CODE-INC-GOLD-LANCER-MAPS-XBOX-360-/111077696691?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19dcbf24b3

And I think it sold for that price. Others seem to go for about £10 though.

Ya reckon? Is this the type of thing that will be sought after in a few years?

Surely they haven't bothered? I need to get my mitts on chrono trigger, DS in preference. (shout out to y'all. Plx can I have a heading OXNO SEEKS CHRONO TRIGGER FOR FRIENDSHIP AND MAYBE MORE

I've absolutely no idea, never bothered with a PS3. Knowing Sony it's probably region locked (please check though, I need bucks for my Animal Crossing).

Have you used the Stars code? Was thinking of getting it for the Too Many Games promotion.

Got a call from my sister this morning. My nephew would very much appreciate twenty five smackers to buy himself a Wii game or two. Or possibly some Lego. She's going to look for the charger today, and get back to me with a full report on screen scratches. She said it's in good condition though, so I reckon it'll be fine. It was mint when I gave it to him, and I did stress the importance of keeping the protective silicone skin on.

It's probably best for her to post it to you directly (could you cover postage too?), and for you to Paypal me when you receive it, then I can give her the cash when I meet her for lunch in a few weeks. Assuming you're still interested, of course.
