Nice to see your Seppuku kit next to your tv....in case you rage quit online and just have to finish the job.

Hook us up shaolin242. If you've got a source for getting virtual boys in box, we'd all like to know more details about it. You might even be able to make a few bucks as a middle man. There are a number of people who would pay a decent amount of cash for one of those.

I think the shipping would kill any chance for significant profits though. Thats Depending on where you live of course.

That's a nice collection man. I lived in Abu Dhabi for 5 years so I know what the shops out there are like. Why buy one sealed PS1 game when you can get over 300 burnt copies for the same price (this was before DVD/CD burners became readily available, and internet speeds fast enough to download ISOs). Things may have changed since I was there, but buying new games was often harder than fakes!

Wow, sweet setup it. It's real sleek. Nice collection too. It looks like you even have a decent digital camera to be taking those kind of pics.

Hell of a collection, especially the VBs.

What stands out to me the most though is your TV stand! I have the same one! <3 Ikea

They allow video games in Dubai?

ok will try and answer all questions

1) V-Boys - yes this is from the warehouse of 100 they found (as seen on Kotaku) - i bought 5 and gave one to my cousin

2) There are a few more here...some in great condition, some with some damage on boxes - ill try and buy more and keep them - there were only 100 found so there are limited numbers. id like to keep mine for as long as possible then sell them...for a sealed box ive seen them go for 200 - 300USD now...so in a few years who knows?

3) TE stick i bought from Australia - $250AUD

4) Retro gaming - NOTHING here man - i found a place which had an old bunch of Dreamcast games and i bought every one. to be honest i use play-asia.com a lot. i bought my Dreamcast and Neo Geo Pkt Colour from Singapore....im checking out a few more stores over the weekend and will see if there is anything worth buying

5) We actually get our games in dubai well before many countries as the shops here dont care about release dates. things like KZ2 , Gears 2 etc we had weeks before they went to USA etc.

im australian btw ive just lived in dubai for the last 5 years....

cheers for the comments boys - liking this forum so far

btw thats extremely correct - the shipping facilities in UAE are archaic compared to USA - thats why i cant use ebay and things like that. youd have to swing by and pick it up on a visit here lol....
