I lost the bidding for this last night, and the seller sent me this second chance offer. I think its a reasonable price considering its new in box. But its still $65. What do you think?
thanks
bill

I've seen em go for about 50.00 before. THere pretty hard to find, if you're buying it to use I'd pass but if you are buying for your collection....I'd grab it up if you had the extra cash.

just bought my second one BIN for 50 from sheiloh (Rolland is his nick on this board) he may have some more, so you might want to pm him. before these latest few, these usually hit 80+ on ebay

I dunno. I'd just get a 72-60 pin converter and then plug a 60-72 pin converter into it. It's a hell of a lot cheaper. But for collection purposes, you'll eventually find one cheaper...

It is easier to do it that way, but be careful that you know which way each part needs to be facing. I do this with my AV Famicom. If you need a 60-72 pin convertor, I'd suggest:

As it's the cheapest (only?) place I could find one.

Yeah, here's both of em in one place WITH the case, not a bare board.

**UPDATE** I passed on the second chance offer. When i was in the heat of sniper bidding i was willing to pay the $66.01+$5S/H, but once i started thinking with a clear head, i decided that there were other things i'd rather buy for $71. After the auction was over i bought a complete Soul Calibur shipped for $14.50.
This morning i get up, check my email before heading out to work and i see an email in my inbox from ebay that listed "Found Similar Items". I check it out. The guy who sent me the second chance offer had turned around and put the same Genie Adapter up with a $50 BIN.It was up for auction for a few hours, i couldn't beleive nobody had bought it yet! In seconds it was mine.....WOOOOHOOOOOOO!! It was like fate! Not only did i get it for $50+$5S/H, i got Soul Calibur for 14.50. A grand total of $69.50, $1.50 less that the second chance offer i turned down :D! I'm stoked \^_^/
