/bst/: Buy Sell Trad

We do have them, just not back-to-back.

>>3260934
Oh, okay. I've been lurking the past couple of weeks regularly and haven't seen one.

>>3260956
I'm here all day, everyday and I haven't seen one either, hombre.

>>3260956
>>3260960
Me too, last one here was longer than two weeks so it checks out. OP came in asking if it was alright because he too didn't see one anywhere in the catalog.

Don't let that fool you though, they're still legit.

>>3260929
>What happened to those?
People left,original posters are gone.


>>3260956
>>3260960
Thats because you guys are new.
There were killer /bst/ threads at the beginning,people made amazing deals here.

>>3260964
I've been here constantly for 6 months or so and I've only seen one, and it tanked. I wasn't here at the very start, but I'm not a noob to the community either. There's always good deals to be had when retro fans sell to each other rather than buying from resellers.

>>3260972
>I've been here constantly for 6 months
You said it yourself original crew that this board opened with are gone,we were flooded with kids and mods weren't doing anything so people left.Seriously there is no conspiracy behind this people just abandoned a sinking ship.
I think I should do the same but I have too much fun discovering new stuff in the retro computing general.

So are we starting on this thread or is another one with all the rules in the OP going to start new?

Reasons the BST died
>No one wanted to post anything for sale
>People are cheap as fuck here, making it a shitty place to sell
>People who do post have shit everyone has or crap nobody wants
>Janitors hated them for some reason and kept deleting the threads

BST's sound good on paper but they just don't work here.

>>3261031
FINE, I'll go back to my dedicated forums for each individual console with small user-bases and eBay.

I was on here constantly from 2013-2014 and the /bst/ threads were dynamite. Great items for sale, great prices, even if some hecklers were cheap fucks. Also, mod services were available and I got some consoles modded the fuck up.

Sad to see the OPs are gone, since I don't remember the original rules, and they're crucial for /bst/ threads.

I got a modded PSOne with screen from here and for a great price. I have a few things I'd like to unload desu. Hope to see it back up.

>>3261031
The reason why they didn't work was because everyone on /vr/ thinks that any cart selling for over $5 is overpriced and you are reseller scum if you try it.

Who wants to sell me a CD-i?

>>3261150
This. If we can escape the rare-garage-sale-find mentality we can have a peaceful and healthy commerce thread.

I always remember cheap fucks saying I overpriced for shit online, saying they could find the same thing for $5 at a local yard sale.

I'm selling modded PAL Saturns in case anyone is interested.

>>3261150
I've sold and bought some stuff here. It works you just have to find someone who wants to sell, and who doesn't want to deal with eBay.

I think I sold a copy of Lunar for like 30-40 bucks complete a couple of years ago but it was in a bit rough shape.

The problem is like I said, people either want an insane fucking deal (to the point where eBay would be better for the seller, even post paypal and ebay fees), or people post garbage like GBC's with no battery cover.

I lot-ed up my stuff and posted it on eBay after trying to sell it multiple times here, and on craigslist. eBay as much hate as it gets is a great place to actually move product. You put it on an auction, starting at a reasonable price (usually around 10 bucks) + actual shipping and you get it out of your house and free up some cash.

>>3260929
Im an old guy. I have everything turbo graphics. Including the adult games and extra everything controlers and the turbo express even. Im getting to old to hang on to all this stuff. Side note i also have like everything for 3DO also. Is this stuff still worth something. All works its all been stored in containers.

Note : the adult games were for the 3DO.the turbographics was a bunch of stuff also. No ive never listed items on ebay. My plan was to hook up a gamer who loves to play games as i always did.

>You will never find a third strike candycab that isn't across the world

feels bad man

Sellers looking for good money for video games are total faggots. Sell it to get rid of it for space and give it a good home. No retro game save those where like 50 copies were made should sell for anymore than a new retail game today, and most should sell well below that.

Ive got Dragonforce (JP), Dragon ball Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu, Super Robots Wars F Final, and Shining Force III for saturn Im looking to sell

Im also looking to swap Mario party 3 for 2

>>3262362

Do you have the boxes?

If you guys are going to sell, you should probably provide a timestamp with an email in the picture.

I have a JP copy of Magical Puzzle Popils. Ebay shows anywhere from $149 to $20, so I'm going with $50, or whatever offers come up. The label is slightly coming off near the bottom, but is still in pretty good condition.

OP here. Since it seems people are interested in BST again I'm going to try and keep them alive. I've gotten some good stuff in the past so I'd like others to experience the fun.

Going forward, how would you prefer time stamps? I always felt they should be necessary. Some anons had really good photos and it helped a lot. Should the email address be part of the time stamp? So email address and date? I know for a while the email addresses would be in the text or name, but I feel part of the time stamp would be best.

And no price whining. I think we all can expect prices to be slightly higher than local finds, but lower than eBay, etc. And links to actual eBay listings should be provided if you're going to negotiate a price.
Of course, condition and completeness should be considered in a price as well (eg, if the condition of your item is better than one on eBay, then we'd understand if the price was reasonably higher).

Does anyone still have the old BST images and rules?

>>3260929
I have some Japanese ps1 games that i'd like to sell. I tried selling the lot on eBay but no one would bid. I'm looking for at-least 15-20 dollars for the lot.

I collect GB/GBC games.
Anyone selling carts? Or even GBC systems?

>>3264320
Yeah. I like the email address being in the stamp, it makes it impossible for crawlers to pull your email out for spam. Thanks for taking charge.

>>3261293
How much? Ship to US? Could you spoonfeed me a bit and tell me if I can use a US power cord and av output with it? Thanks

Anyone here make repro cartridges? I'd like to play SMRPG on an actual console, but I'd hate to contribute to its increasing scarcity and drive up the price even further.

I have a few things I'd like to sell to help with my trip to Japan. Is this going to happen? I sold a few SNES games here months ago and everything when smooth. I like OP's email idea. I say we get this ball rolling worst cast scenario thread just dies.

>>3265934
I don't think you can repro that anon because it has a special chip in it.

>>3266293
Oh right, the same chip that prevents it from being run on any flash cart. Duh.

That's a damn shame. Wish I knew moonrunes, the jap version is so much cheaper.

>>3266296
Yeah. it sucks. The only place to play it cheaply is on the Wii VC.

>>3266301
Yeah, but if I'm not going to play it on the original hardware anyway I might as well just emulate it for free, you know?

>>3265912
The machine is region free with a 50/60 switch, you can use it with NTSC games easily. However you need a 100V -> 220V adapter, since PAL machines all use 220V.

thing is that shipping to the USA costs half as much as the machine (50€ for shipping, and I'm asking for 100€ for the machine).

>>3266306
I'll retract the interest then, thank you for the info and such though

Trouble is that I have neither the soldering experience (it's on my to-do list) nor the equipment to do it myself, and I live in the middle of nowhere, Appalachia.

>>3266368
Nigger just order the original cart from amazon. Its 60 bucks. But you won't have buyers remorse

>>3266371
Probably my best option, in all honesty. By the time I order a jap cart and pay for the shipping/parts/labor for someone to convert it, I'd be paying near that price anyway.

>>3265775
I have some I'm interested in letting go

Good luck trying to sell your Saturn at above ebay prices. No, seriously, I can get a PAL Saturn(CIB) right now for $20 less, and for $30 less on shipping. Can get a NTSC Saturn for even cheaper.

People aren't expecting pennies on the dollar, but do you honestly expect to sell stuff at ABOVE ebay prices here, while charging more for shipping than anyone else?

nice bait, almost fell for it, then I noticed the (CIB).

>>3267390
It's on ebay right now. I mentioned it's CIB because it IS CIB. Please go be stupid somewhere else.

>>3267398
You should link it here then.
Oh wait, you wont, because then everyone could call out on how fucking stupid you are.

From now on, links are required to auction listings if you're going to negotiate a price.

>>3267371
>No, seriously, I can get a PAL Saturn(CIB) right now for $20 less, and for $30 less on shipping. Can get a NTSC Saturn for even cheaper.

You can't even get a modchip for that much, let alone an entire console.

>>3267429
No but I'm working on it. I looked at my life and thought to myself that I'm tired of being fat and lonely so Ive changed my life around. And it's been working out pretty good. But back to the matter at hand lets get this shit started! I got some DQ and Poke games I want to sell to a good home.

>>3267371

>>3261150

>>3267438
Lol ok eBay gouger. Not the guy you're talking to but I've paid about $20-30 for the past few Saturn's I've bought. Usually with a few decent games and a couple of controllers you'll pay about 50. With the box maybe like 80

>>3267441
Well good on you man. I need to do the same. Im 21 but feel ackes and pains. Bout to score me a couple of Poke games as well, crystal and gold, for 30.Hoping there legit. Everything looks legit but Gold is throwing me some flags.

>>3267467
..... Really? Damn man that good on you. I was thinking 70 for the console was a good price. Gayms are slim picking in my area

>>3267467
>Not the guy you're talking to but I've paid about $20-30 for the past few Saturn's I've bought

And those come with modchip and region free bios?

You seem angry.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/112016037862
Look, PAL sega saturn, $20 less and $30 less on shipping. CIB. Even comes with Virtual Fighter, cables and at least one controller that I can see.

>>3267438
>You can't even get a modchip for that much, let alone an entire console.
Guy you were originally responding to here, I can get a Phantom for about $23 plus shipping, what the shit are you talking about man?

>>3267508
>And those come with modchip and region free bios?
Modchip, $23 plus shipping. Region Free Bios, $5 plus shipping. Still no reason for the high price >>3266306 is charging.

>>3267598

Is anyone willing to sell Pokemon Gold/silver? The quality of the cart isnt important, the label could be ripped, missing, there could be marker all over it. I just want to play it again

I think your math is off.

>>3268773
>w-w-well the BIN price is....
Your shit is still overpriced anon. No one wants to buy at OVER ebay prices. Deal with it.

>>3268939
Assuming you buy it with you being the only bidder, you still have 130 + 50 for shipping + 35 for the modchip and region free bios. That's around 190€ (in reality a bit more due to currency conversion).

Last time I checked, 150€ was less than 190€.

You are right, I'm selling my machine way too cheap. New price: 150€ plus shipping.

Looking for good broadcast monitors in the Toronto area.

>>3265934
I've done this a few times using a Japanese cart as a donor. I might be willing to do it on here. Let me think about it.

>>3268939
>w-w-well the auction price is....

By that logic you can get a Saturn + controller for less than $2:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sega-saturn-/282056244193?hash=item41abdcbbe1:g:y3IAAOSwMNxXUFzn

>>3268981
1 Euro =/= 1 Dollar. That's a CIB with controller, cables, and a game for $180. You are selling just the console loose with no cables or controller, for $170. I don't care if it has $30 worth of components in it, you are still trying to sell a loose Saturn for the price you could get a CIB. Go ahead, raise your price, you weren't moving inventory anyways.

>>3269006
Yes, because items listed well below trending prices NEVER go up. Given loose saturns usually sell for $50-$60 on ebay, you think that's likely? The one I listed is pretty likely to sell for the price listed.

>>3269412
>1 Euro =/= 1 Dollar. That's a CIB with controller, cables, and a game for $180.

+$35 for mods = $215 = around 190€.

>I don't care if it has $30 worth of components in it

They are also all installed. Which in itself requires some tools and knowledge that not everybody has.

>you are still trying to sell a loose Saturn for the price you could get a CIB.

It's a loose unit that can play back any game from any region, as well as backups, while having the cart slot free. So it does significantly more than a normal loose unit. If you don't understand how that makes it more expensive then you are a moron.

And I never said that it doesn't come with cables/controllers. You just assumed that.

See, this shit here is why BST threads on /vr are cancer.

I enjoy making repro carts but I've had to cut back on projects lately for financial reasons. I'd be willing to do a sort of trade for repros, at cost of parts. For example.. if you want a Starfox 2 cart and I also want a Starfox 2 cart, buy two of the materials so that I can have one and I will send you the other one at no additional cost other than what you paid for the materials. Just have everything sent to my address and then I'll mail the cart back to you.

Any takers? (if anyone wants Starfox 2 I'd really like to do that)

Also, tripfagging is cancer but it seems somewhat warranted for a BST thread.

>>3269518
Also, this doesn't necessarily have to be a 1:1 trade. Say if you want Mega Man 7 made but I've been wanting to make Crusader of Centy for Genesis, then I would request that you purchase materials to make that even if the costs of the donor that I want is cheaper.

>>3269518
Your offer intrigues me. I'm the SMRPG guy. Would you be willing to convert two japanese cartridges?

>>3270839
As in you want two copies? Because I've already got a copy of it. Like I said, it doesn't have to be 1:1. I posted as the anon earlier who mentioned I had made a couple of them.

>>3270853
Ah right.

If the forum post I just read is to be believed, you can make a star fox 2 cart out of a fairly cheap racing game. Would you need any other materials to make that happen?

Also, I've just taken it for granted that you live in the US. Is that correct?

>>3270881
Correct. And yeah, Starfox 2 should be roughly equivalent in price as Mario RPG would be. Mario RPG does need a voltage regulator, but I have about 8 of those on hand and they're dirt cheap so I'm not concerned with providing one (same goes for a replacement SRAM battery). So you would just need to buy cart and EEPROM. I'll make a throwaway email tomorrow so that we can get in touch. Somewhat hesitant to throw any of my currently used emails on here.

someone selling in Central America???

>>3270928
Probably a wise decision on the email front. And just to expose how little I know of anything electronic related, where would you recommend I buy the eeprom? Preferably not in bulk.

>>3270929
No, civilized world only.

I don't know why I had high hopes for this thread... nothing but price bickering, know it alls, and repro sellers. Ugh... let's face it, it's a sellers market right now, and the buyers are such entitled pricks that no seller wants to come to market.

>>3270949
I don't understand your complaint. You're upset that a buyer is trying to get a better deal than you'd like to give them?

>>3270946

USA?

>civilized

>>3270952
Not at all. I'm upset that retro game collecting is "in" right now and people consider their collections more important than the value of the gameplay. Shelf collecting hipsters who constantly price check their stash drive up the values, thinking they're making some kind of investment, but are really just ruining the actual joy of real retro gamers, who understand the difference of playing on the original console versus an emulator/rerelease.

>>3261031

>Reasons the BST died

> No one wants to send money to someone they met on fucking 4chan

>>3270937
Nah definitely not bulk. I'll link you to everything, don't worry.

>>3270949
I don't think people should be profiting off repros either. Thus why I'm doing it as essentially a trade. Repros aren't worth any more than the cost of the parts. I have ones I want to make and other people have ones they want to make but may lack the skill. Everyone comes out ahead in the end and nobody is getting price gouged.

How strict are we being on the /vr/ part?

I'm looking for a PSP Go, and while it's not /vr/ I do plan on using it essentially as a portable 16-32 bit emulation machine.

>>3270998
I wasn't trying to knock repro sellers, per se, but lately I've been seeing repro carts in game stores everywhere, and they don't bother to notify the buyer that they are in fact repros, and that annoys me.

>>3270937
Alright, shoot me an email at [email protected]. We can start working everything out there.

>>3271007
Well yeah, that's unethical as all hell. Repro cartridges shouldn't be resold without a clear label that they aren't the genuine original. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who disagrees with that.

Any one actually traded here yet?

>>3272043
I've sold a Saturn and some games for it once, but that was a year ago when /vr/ was newer and not infested by ebay price gougers.

Alright, good. I'm in Canada and if you were in Australia or Europe it would've been way too expensive to be worthwhile to you. I'll check to see if the battery is working or not after this post but I wouldn't charge you for changing the battery. I've been wanting to fix up games and consoles for awhile now and this would be good motivation for me to get the necessary materials. The game is worth like 20 USD from the pricing chart but I'd charge 15 USD plus shipping from Canada post which will be another five dollars USD.
