I was just about to post this.

I don't trust imports from ebay sellers based in HK or Singapore. I think you actually lucked out.

I used to buy from Play Asia all the time.
The Money that was going to go towards Rockman 8 ended up being put towards X4.

I try to avoid buying direct from Japan due to a bad experience I had with Japan Post.
They lost a package and neither I nor the person I bought from could locate. The Seller did provide me with proof they shipped it I even contacted US Customs and they told me nothing fitting the description I gave them went through.

Almost 6 months now... NOTHING. I did get a refund though.

I feel sorta bad posting, since this is yr gameroom thread, but you also said yr starting a new one for your N64 stuff since this one went a bit OT (i'm not blameless, sorry...)

So, i'll share this - I nearly did a buy now on a Rendering Ranger SFC cart, was at $99 buy now and I was at that: "Crap, do I hit buy now or do I research and figure out why this is at less than half normal price, and risk someone grabbing it." So, I made the choice to research a bit and sure enough, it was shipping from Taiwan and was called an "Authentic Reproduction" - had the same label and SHVC as the SFC cart. Be careful...

OUCH

Now I'm Being reminded why I don't buy from E-bay. I usually buy from Resellers on Amazon. Less Red tape.

No need to make a second thread. Just keep editing the first.

Well, do you keep your collection in 2 houses? That would be pretty annoying if you were having to go back and forth to get a certain game. If you let the older thread get old, people won't go looking for it. If it keeps getting bumped so you have 2 up every time, that's kind of annoying to push others down for no real reason. Unless they've started over fresh, everyone else is managing to keep 1 collection thread updated and it's working well for all of them and keeps the forum neater.

This one sort of got all derailed, somewhere I said I was going to start over.
But whatever I'll keep posting in this one, Just a simple thread title change and BAM...this is now for my entire collection.

Ok, then I apologize. Take a bunch of pictures, start a new one that doesn't specify a system, and run with it.
