Rancor from Shmups.com does it for me all the time, I believe Ganjinpunch does it as well. I rarely buy Saturn imports off ebay unless I get lucky with a cheeky bid, like one time Salamander Deluxe Pack had an auction starting at $30 and I one it at that price because no one else bidded on it, not sure why.

Speaking of Ebay, what the hell happened to the price of Rampage World Tour? For the longest time it was a cheap game with plentiful BIN prices of $20 and then recently I had the urge to play the Saturn version since I used to love the N64 version as a kid, only to find out the BIN prices are $40+. Fortunately I finally won an auction of it for $20.
Is the proxy just to translate the listings for you, or is there some amazon.jp policy about shipping overseas?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but US Saturn game prices keep spiraling out of control.

I am waiting for the XRGB mini in the mail next. I will be a part of the XRGB mini club soon! :)
Very nice I actually got a new RGB setup recently, found a new old stock neo geo arcade monitor in a pvm like case on craigslist for $80 so I just had to pick it up. Got some custom cables made and it is wired up and working great with my Saturn and other RGB consoles. Check it out here http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 17&t=45633

more Loony prices, 2 days left 74 bids, $1300 for 37 games, there are a bunch of big names in there though like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Shining force 3. Wonder what it will end at.

The sad thing is that's a steal for US saturn games since that works to about $35 a game.

I'll still pick up the odd Saturn game just to have an original...but I must admit that the modchip I got several years ago has really come in handy.
