(didn't know whether to put this in Classifieds, Off-topic or here :D )


Anyone can place a bid on HONEYBEE XE-8 SG-60 SEGA MEGA DRIVE GAME CONTROLLER | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONEYBEE-XE-8-SG-60-SEGA-MEGA-DRIVE-GAME-CONTROLLER-/251228243924?_trksid=p5197.m1997&_trkparms=aid%3D333005%26algo%3DRIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D15%26meid%3D5701318074674879633%26pid%3D100016%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D150976022153%26) for me?

Sorry, I just saw this just before the end because mr_lou messaged be on irc... sadly there was only 20 seconds to spare.

I bid 2 quid and then 3 quid but was automatically outbid on both of those. Didn't want to go any higher as I had no idea how much it was worth or how much you wanted to pay... ;)

EDIT: LOL, I just noticed my 3.00 bid didn't even show up, apparently because 2 other people had bid the same amount... so I guess I could have had it for 3.01, but with 20 seconds left I didn't have time to plan a strategy... So, sorry about that.

I bid £3.00 at the last moment, but someone else had bid £3.00 earlier than me. Sorry. I was the losing £3 bid - it was a £1.20, then jumped to over £2 just as I pressed the bid button.

(Sykobee? Is that you?)


Aw, guys, I'm touched :) Thanks indeed... Never mind losing it, as I said it was too bad I saw it too late!


If anyone's got a relatively cheap arcade stick for the SMD, you know where to reach me!

Hi,


I'm about selling an used Honey Bee XE-8 SG60 joystick for the SMD, well, in fact, it's in excellent condition, used it just a couple of times, then stored it in a box in the cellar. Found it there two weeks ago, now willing to sell it. I'm aware you are looking for this one, started an auction on ebay shortly before I found this thread. I think I could send it right over to you, but the problem is... I'm living in Germany and postage would exceed any reasonable price I fear. I would cancel the ebay auction though, just let me know if you want it and we'll find a solution, I'm sure.


best regards,
N0mi

Hello N0mi, thanks for your message. Can you send me a PM (you'd need to open an account at the forum) or send me an email? My address is krakout gmail com .


Thanks again!

I've sent quite a few things from Germany to Greece in the past. The postage for the Stick will probably only be about €5.

Hmmm, I think €5 would be very cheap; this is quite bulky... but it doesn't matter, we're already in emails about it :)

It depends more on the weight in Germany. I've sent bigger things and was still in the €5 bracket :)
