So here we go with another 10 auctions that caught my eye over the last week or so. Completely randomly I seem to have selected several Saturn games as well as a few other interesting items...
Some bargains are still to be had on Ebay and someone got one with this Virtua Cop cab. Despite some niggling technical issues (which I'm sure could easily be rectified) this went for a good price of £64.00. Click here to view the auction.
Any Jupiter Ace on ebay always attracts a fair amount of attention, but not as much as this one! A final tally of 23 bids and an amazing price of £609. The seller is based in Germany and the auction included an American PSU (with an ominous warning not to be used in Europe) and apparently it is the "rare" real Jupiter Ace 4000 of which less than a 1000 were made. If that's true then it explains the price. I guess it won't be long before we see a few more of these appear in the wake of this auction. Click here to view this auction.
On a considerably lower scale, we have the trusty old Sega Megadrive of which there were certainly many more than a 1000 made! This looked like a decent enough bundle but my suspicions were raised when there was no list of games on the listing. Nevertheless closer inspection reveals a Shinobi game, Prince of Persia, Game Genie and Outrun in addition to the usual array of Sports titles. A final price of £70.88 was maybe a touch high, but the buyer got a few hours of gaming fun for the money. Click here to view this auction.
Is Panzer Dragoon Saga still a good seller? Well it would appear so as this copy went for £137. Mind you, the seller was offering a free cup of tea should you prefer local pick up although its purported excellent condition was probably more responsible for the end price.

Ah, the trusty Woody! A much-coveted retro console, but I can't help but wonder how many of these have been bought on Ebay, only to be played with briefly and, having sated that nostalgic desire, been discarded once more. This was a pretty decent bundle with 11 boxed games and 14 more loose carts that went for a pound shy of £50.00. Click here to view this auction.
Another game I was curious as to whether it was holding its price, especially having recently been re-released on XBLA. The end price of £97.00 would suggest classic Saturn shooter Radiant Silvergun is still a good seller. Click here to view this auction.
I could't let you go without a SNES auction could I? Once more the sight of the Nintendo logo and a few cardboard boxes sends Ebay bidders into a frenzy and this substantial bundle garnered a final price of £216.55. I couldn't see any special titles amongst this lot, it mainly appeared to be the usual sports titles, but maybe there's something in there for the Nintendo savvy amongst you...click here to have a butcher's at this auction
The penultimate Sega Saturn game this week is Shining Force 3, again in apparently excellent condition. End Price: £78.77, click here to view
This game caught my eye in Retro Gamer magazine's Sega Saturn Collector's Guide a few months back. It's a Resident Evil clone, of that there is no doubt, but I'd still be intrigued to have a go. Shame it ended up going for £95 quid! Still, as the seller said, "99p start, so grab a bargain". Lol.
Insane in the membrane. That's the best way I can describe this auction. OK, so it's sealed, but Link's Awakening is hardly rare by anyone's standard. But two grand?! Although, assuming there's no dirty dealings going on here, a winning bidder with zero feedback might be a little worrying. And all for a game that will never be opened or played. It could have the wrong cartridge in it. Or no cartridge at all!More next week!
Can't believe someone won that Virtua Cop for 64pound!! I thought here in Japan we found some bargains, but that takes the cake!
