i figured around the 150aud mark would be acceptable, not a fan of auctioning items, to many people bid and drive up the price in the heat of the moment and decide not to buy cause theyve bidded more than they want to pay just to win it

As the title suggest what would most recommend selling one for, i have a few surplus to needs, they arent being made any more are they? Thanks

Im an aussie, the jag never made it here so it was something i came across later in life and my first taste of it got me wondering how the hell wasnt this trumping nintendo, i did most of my growing up on the nes and snes, i always thought that these nintendo consoles felt as though they were government issued and rather bland in terms of styling, let alone they were everywhere and you never could have anything unique, the whole "i dont wanna do it if diddy did it" (southpark pun) controlled me for a while. The whole cd32 basically being a amiga 1200 sold me on it, all the games i remember playing d generation for a whole weekend once, not one room was left unexplored

Hands down the jag trumps it power wise, and there's no point comparing, the expandability and software library is what enticed me to the cd32, you could spend days and days checking out the software available

I just ordered a console from another guy here in aus, for me theres only 2 systems i like, the jag and amiga cd32, it really boggles my mind how they weren't as big as they should have been i could just rave on about the potentials of them, The only time i have to play is whilst im in the crapper (im sure most men are the same) ive never been glued to playing a game since the days of mortal kombat, now running a business and having a kid on the way has taken time from me, but i do find maybe an hour a week to go through the colection and fire something up, gotta be 2d and fast progessing

Cheers guys, ive just checked a few of them out, time organise finances and get back into it

Closure on this, did it vapour?

I moved towns a while ago and trimmed some fat from the belongings naturally my muscle car trumps any video game, so i sold off all of my jag gear except for the skunkboards i had, which i am glad i kept them as ive browsed ebay looking for some jag gear and f@ck me, when did this stuff turn to gold?? Obviously this kind of gold doesnt sell just look at completed listings, so its safe to say im only gonna buy carts when sellers actually wanna sell. Where do i look now? Is there any sources where this stuff is actually reasonably priced? Any help would be appreciated other wise there may be a few overpriced skunkboards up for grabs

Any updates on this?

anyone know of a guide or know themselves of how to use a pc power supply on a panasonic fz-1 3do. i am asking as i have purchased this system with a fried transformer and instead of sourcing another transformer. difficult for me as the old one is a 110v unit and i'm in aus and would prefer to use a 220v-240v power supply i had thought about sourcing a uk or eu transformer but its very hard to find just a transformer without taking the risk on buyin a dead unit and then the chances that the dead ones problem aint the same and then the price of postage on top... anyway i would really appreciate some help or any ideas at all? here are some pics of the units supply with voltages written on there http://i165.photobuc...6414_30edit.jpg http://i165.photobuc...6411_30edit.jpg http://i165.photobuc...6410_30edit.jpg

i somewhat agree with you.... though i think its perfectly fine to use it to play games you CAN'T afford cause some sellers think there worth there weight in gold!!! i refer you to d!ckheads like this ( eBay Auction -- Item Number: 370525333129 ) Except you don't have to get a new copy of that game. You can get a used copy for much less than the cost of a Skunkboard. I don't think that there are 400+ Skunkboards in the hands of just developers, but I do think that a lot of people are buying them for the possibility of playing future games that are made on them. I really don't think that too many, "Hey, I'll get a Jaguar and just this cartridge" people are buying them, or at least it hasn't in any way seemed that way from the sales we have made. thats just an example of outrageous prices, agreed, you can get most of the games for less than a price of a skunkboard, and i own most games (would love to own them all as i prefer orig carts over digi copies) but there are some i'd like to have, its not that i cant afford to, but just can't justify the price of some games and won't give in to overpriced games and greedy sellers! main thing that inspired me to buy a skunkboard was Kobayashi Maru (just have to play it on the real thing!!!) and some other homebrew's. and cant wait to have my skunkboard! (damn international post!)

I got outbid in the last few seconds! Oh well, I might get a Lynx instead and keep looking for a Jaguar. yeah i seen that you might just have to bite the bullet on postage, i had also brought one from the Netherlands and it only cost me $40 to get it here, just keep hunting. any particular lynx gear your after? i've got 4 working consoles 2 of each model been thinking about culling my excess gear down and since i've brought a flash cart for it i'll be getting rid of a fair few games also let me know what you think

yeah postage was near $100 but didn't mind paying that much since the console was cheap enough, i'll be throwing this one back on ebay tonight less the games it come with and the box, does come with checkered flag though, i'll send you a link if you like...? I've already put in a bid on it. good luck mate, hope you win it

yes your wrong about the price tripling , the value has not increased in the slightest... just the clowns selling the gear idea of value, shits me to tears when i see the asking price of some of the games i'd like to have/collect, just because a seller see's something on the same system/ system era sell for heaps they just assume everything from then is gold. doesn't help with ebays 30 free listing every month too, thinking i might put up some comm... oh i mean rare, priceless gems from another time, up for sale , though, the clown system goes two ways... but i'll whinge another time

yeah i kind of figured that... though who else is goin to know other than the people that have an interest in it? i supose i could go to a cooking forum and ask there I'm thinking the BJL way would be the easiest and cheapest way to do it, have a bloke here in aus that will turn your carts into digital format via the de-soldering way but its costly and of course you lose your cart.

i've got a fair bit of game gear stuff and games, i use http://www.rarityguide.com/gamegear_view.php for a guide, very unlikely i'd pay that for the more expensive ones, found it to be fairly accurate though. if you search through completed listings on ebay, you'll find what you'd likely sell one for, or if your quick you could get some bargains from there.

yeah i've come across a fair few bad dumps, just spending a fair amount of time putting all of the good ones together, how do they go about dumping roms, in particular jaguar roms?

just wondering if anyone knows just how many jag games have been dumped? legally or not, don't need to know where to get them from don't really want to hear about piracy crap, i dont care!!!! just looking for a target number.

It's VERY difficult for us to do ETAs for international orders because the border can decide to hold things for a while and we have no idea exactly how long it will take. Having said that, I think that I sent your package on the 26th. I am behind on the packages since then because of the holidays, a sick son and wife, and then when I finally got things together, the post office was already closed. Tonight, I'll be making the rest of the packages, and I have a carfull that I'm dropping off tonight, so it should be out very soon if it isn't already... but I don't remember recently making yours so I'm all but certain it was the 26th. no worries Dan, just wondering roughly how long, not in any rush by any means, thanks Calvin

anyone know how long it takes the goat store to ship to aus via express? i ordered a skunk board from there and stated shipped out on the 24th, i understand about the delays over the holidays, i just cant find any eta's on there site, thanks!

i scored my third system just the other week on the UK ebay, for just 19GBP and it come with 3games inc. DOOM, boxed and all. though postage to AUS near sent me broke, do any of them sellers asking millions for them sell any?
