Have only a few bits and pieces left over now, and was thinking of the best way to clear them out and thought this might be a fairly fun way to do it:

I will list all items here and set a starting price of £50 and anyone who would like one of the items at that price simply PMs me.

From then on, every three days I will drop the 'per item' price by £5. You can jump in at any stage you wish to claim an item for whatever price it is down to at that time. I will update the list in the first post as items are sold.

By the end of 30 days, anything that is left will be free to first claimants (postage costs only!)

The items are:

Sega Saturn

Shienryu - Japanese import, factory sealed
Streetfighter Collection (PAL, complete, vgc)
Three Dirty Dwarves (PAL, complet & mint)
Metal Slug Box Set (missing RAM cart, sticker mark on front)
Bomberman styled Multitap - boxed, complete, brand new & unused.
Bomberman styled Joypad - boxed and complete, with baggies, inserts & foam protector

Megadrive / Genesis

Asterix and the Power of the Gods - PAL, silver cart & box
Pulseman - Japanese, complete, sticker mark on rear of box
Super Mario - Russian / Chinese pirate (does not work on
Genesis, boxed & complete)
ONE LOT - Tazmania (PAL, boxed), Tin Head (Genesis pirate, boxed), Gold Honey Bee Adapter (boxed)
Super Key Import Converter - boxed & complete
Magic Key III Import Converter - boxed & complete

* these last two items are the top of the range converters for the MD/Genesis - they have 4 dip switches on the back to adjust the settings to allow you to play USA, Japan, Brazil games and also chip-locked games such as Alien Soldier, Mega Man - Wily Wars, Golden Axe III etc that many of the converter carts, (e.g. the Honey Bee adaptors) cannot play

Sega / Mega CD

Syndicate (PAL, complete)
Sega CD lot 1 - Rise of the Dragon (in jewel case + manual and hint book), Prince of Persia (in jewel case + manual), Blackhole Assault (in jewel case + manual), Robo Aleste (complete, bottom hinge of case broken)
Sega CD lot 2 - Double Switch (factory sealed, Japanese import), Vay (factory sealed, Japanese import)

Playstation

Mouse controller (boxed, Blaze)
Game Hunter (boxed with instructions - play imports and backups on PS1)
Wipeout 3 - Special Edition (loads of extra tracks from Wipeout 2097, Wipeout 3 Japanese release, and extra prototype tracks, new game features & enhancements)

That's everything. I know lots of those items aren't worth £50 each ... but some of them are - and keep checking back, cause in two weeks it'll be down to £25 apiece ... and a week after that it, £10 apiece ... and a week after that, FREE!

Postage for individual games is £2.00 UK, £3.00 Europe, £4.00 world. Since the prices will be changing pretty quickly, payment is by Paypal only and will be expected within 24 hours of your PM being received and responded to - otherwise it is unfair on others.

If you don't have Paypal and there is something you really want then hopefully you have a little time to work something out with a Paypal endowed forum member while the price moves towards something amenable to you!

I will allocate items according to the first PM I receive regarding that item after each price revision.

The price revisions will occur when I post the new price here, not before.

I will not reserve an item for you in advance of it reaching a certain price - if you want it that much, then grab it for the higher price, or risk someone else beating you to the mark when it drops!

Hopefully this will be a fairly fun and efficient way of clearing out the last of my bits and bobs!

OK, little bit late on the first price drop, I know .. but I didn't stop to check that it would fall on New Year's eve!

Anyway, any item / lot now £45 ... next drop will be in two days, as I want to keep to the original schedule as far as possible!

OK ... sorry to do this, but I the feedback I have had so far from a few people seems to be that they don't really understand this method. So I am making this the last price drop. If anyone wants any items at this last price - down to £35 - let me know.

Then I am just going to do things my usual way, and whack it all up on ebay at 99p starts, a three day auction.

The other reason for this is that I have to get this sorted out and get the money sooner than I thought - I have begun physiotherapy for my ankles and need to buy some exercise equipment to assist with this.

Additionally I am having to go into hospital soon for blood tests soon, and buy several prescriptions for another problem that no-one really seems to know definitively what it is yet ...

So really, I just want to get this all out the way and get the money I need for these things (money which I currently don't have ...)

Soz if you were waiting for a particular item - but you should still get a chance at it very soon, i just need to make this happen quicker.

PM for anything you want now, or check the Everything Ebay soon.
