I think I just made a huge mistake. I was offering my price on eBay for 70 dollars. I just forgot to look at the shipping. All the way from Hong Kong, it cost me 50 dollars. I am so broke now. Anyone know how much the twin sticks are worth usually?
These are new in the box complete with the Virtual On game. I paid $70 + $50 on shipping. I am so sad about shipping.... |

I think I saw that same auction. If they came with a game (I'm not sure if that particular auction did), then it's not too bad. The last few sets located in North America sold around $75 - $100 shipped (I think they each came with the game).
Did it come with the original box? |

No, the picture didn't show the original box. I was happy about it until I saw the $50 shipping price. I didn't see it before. I'm never going to do my eBay business while I do my homework again. It proves to be distracting. | ||||

||||
yeah, never do homework again, it costs you money | ||||

Ever tried shipping something internationally before? It's mega-expensive. That's how much I paid for mine, too. And I didn't get the game with it, I had to import that separately. so in essence I paid roughly $35 more than you. | ||||

Actually. I'd say you got a good deal. The game + the sticks.
You saved a slight little. For having to buy them seperatly. I remember I did the same mistake as you. I was going to bid on An import version of marvel vs capcom. I have no idea why I did'nt notice. I ended up bidding 300$ for them. I was surprise. and hopping it wouldn't go that high. It didn't. Just $30 I was little mmm surprise. But happy that i don't have to pay $300 for a game ~_~. Lesson. When you are at ebay. don't do anything else. |

When you are at ebay. don't do anything else. I would have been so freaked out. It's easy to misplace the decimal on eBay. I'm starting to realize this is a good buy. I just wish I had someone to play with because I'll get bored playing vs. CPU eventually. But now that I think of it, whoever I play with will have to use the pad. Not only that, I'd rather connect 2 dreamcasts for proper multiplayer than play 2 player on one tv. Splitscreen hinders graphical performance on games. |

Honestly .... seems we get a shite deal with postage from the USA to UK shipping prices often deter me from bidding on auctions. I seem to post things the opposite way for a fraction of the cost. I am so glad now that we can rate postage costs on Ebay, I think its a step in the right direction. Laters |

Laters Yeah, I was going to ship something to a friend of mine in ireland, but every carrier wanted like $80 for a 3-pound parcel the size of a shoebox. I was like WTF mate? |

Second - you got a pair of twinsticks (new) for 70,- $ ... and asking if 50,- $ is 2 much for the shipping? Well Im selling stuff on ebay and international trackable packages are real real expensive. The sticks arent small and Im sure the weight over 2 kg - so 50,- $ is a low shipping rate from honkong. | ||||
