Hi everyone,
Just thought i'd drop this by, i'm in the UK and on ebay.co.uk, there is an auction for 8 NES proto's, all in the same auction, looks pretty sweet all in all i'm not a nes collector, so it's not really something i'd go for, but i know some of you crazy Nes / Proto collectors, would at least like a heads up...
It looks like most are american or jap (i'd say american) and one or two english, also there's just a normal retail version bubble bobble 2.
(The catch is he's in the UK, NOT really sure if this is a catch for most but i know some people, might be worried about paying out $$$$ for stuff so far away?!)
Any how here is the auction, also the seller will do international shipping, ($20 roughly)
See what ya think :

England likely uses EMS mail and get the item number that can be tracked on usps.com when ordering to the US from here. This is the only registered type of shipment he is talking about. This type of express mail arrives in 3 days from the day shipped and requires your signature. It is fully insured. That is what he wrote. You won't find anything safer than that to ship things world wide where this is available. Courriers would charge one hundred dollars plus without the safety that you get. Express may be greater in reliability than domestic priority mail anyhow because it is express mail. Can't stress that enough. This selection up for bid though is mind boggling @_@ :o

Well we have many ways of extracting the truth? ( just kiddin LOL )......
Many ways of sending items To America, like Recorded Delivery, Swift Air etc, i'm not sure if we have EMS although when i'm having items sent from the US and there worth more $£$£$£ than usual i use EMS... US to UK
(In the past) I have asked about the insurance cover with swift air and recorded delivery and the most they will insure items for is £30 X_x which is only $50-55.
The Royal Mail can't track items once there in the US, so they have no control over the item of post, meaning people could insure an item of post for a high amount and say it was lost and claim it back through the insurance.
But there is always FED-EX and UPS, the Royal Mail is like USPS, it's what everybody uses, but as i mentioned there are other services like Fed-Ex to use, that would cover the insurance.
In 4 years of having items shipped with USPS (US to UK) i have had NON go missing!.. So i'm pretty happy with them.
Not had much dealings with FED-EX, and Just to let everyone know i hate UPS :angry:
Anyways hope that helps ;)

Im betting that NesDream would have pulled ahead. There were some insane stuff in there, especially the Xybots and Rodland protos.
