Title: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: Nathan on December 16, 2013, 09:00:50 pm
Tried asking an admin if this was okay to post here, but no response, so I'll risk the consequences if it isn't kosher to post.

Yes, I am in dire need of money right now to meet a dream of mine of performing in a music group a few states away from me. So, I am willing to part with a complete set of the official US Dreamcast magazines. Pic: (http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/163/znff.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/znff.jpg/)

Also, I have this still for sale: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=46179
As well as some Sonic memorabilia that I've collected over the years, and some of my Shenmue collection items I'm willing to sell so I can have this opportunity. Please post here or message me for more details. I'm really, REALLY hopeful to sell these, and they'll likely end up on eBay if I don't get any offers or a good price here. Hate to be a salesman here, but I have no choice, I'm willing to do anything.

I never received a message from you, did you send it to George? He's been MIA for a month. But yeah, this topic is totally fine. Established users can do stuff like this.

Cool, thanks. I just sent it to Nuckles, I was browsing and he was the first one I saw. I don't even know if he's more than just a writer, but I just sent it to him.

Oh yeah, He's a writer and likely did not see the PM. If you have questions about the forums and stuff, contact Kori or myself (or George once he returns from the North Pole).

Yeah, sorry. Plus, this sort of thing isn't exactly my jurisdiction.

I'd be interested in the magazines...though I'm not sure how much you expect to get for them.

It's all good. I'm looking to get at least $100 for the magazines, to make back what I paid for them, and hopefully then some. I really want to make this opportunity I have work. Let me know if you are interested, or else they'll just end up on eBay.
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: nuckles87 on December 17, 2013, 08:00:12 pm
$100 is kind of pushing it for me. The completed listings on eBay are all over the place in terms of prices for the mags. Still, they could make good research materials.

Post by: Nathan on December 17, 2013, 08:17:48 pm
Are you interested in buying them, nuckles?
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: nuckles87 on December 17, 2013, 11:05:08 pm
I'm thinking about it. Honestly, I'd be quicker to jump on these at that price in January, when I'm done with holiday expenses.
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: Nathan on December 17, 2013, 11:48:42 pm
I see. I'd love to get the money from them sooner rather than later...I'm strapped for cash and the weekends aren't going to stop coming, when I need to be in Indianapolis. When will you know for sure if you want them before January?
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: nuckles87 on December 18, 2013, 11:05:20 pm
I can't spend $100 on DC mags right now. I'd be more willing at a lower price, but I figure you won't be game for that until they sit on eBay for awhile.

I looked through completed listings for the mags, and whether they sell or not has been pretty sporadic. I guess you'll have to try your luck on there. Just be sure to sell them as a set, cause otherwise only the first few issues will sell and you'll be left with the rest. You might get your asking price of $100 on eBay, cause that was the price of one other recently sold set.

I am interested in what your other merch is.

Here are some pictures, plus the YS autograph and magazines. It's not much, but may be of worth to a Sonic/Shenmue collector. Ask me if you have any questions at all.

What are these two Shenmue things at the bottom of this pic?

They're soundtracks.

Post by: Nathan on December 20, 2013, 12:13:09 pm
Both soundtracks. I don't think they are the official copies, but bootlegs, as the officials are way hard to come by anymore. On the far right is a Japanese copy of VF3TB, containing the Project Berkely disc.

Post by: nuckles87 on December 20, 2013, 12:53:21 pm
Alright. How much for those three? I won't really be willing to pay much for bootlegs, but Project Berkley has me interested, and I wouldn't mind having some CDs to rip music from for future Tuesday Tunes.

How much do you want for just the Namie Amuro game w/ Yu Suzuki signature?
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: Nathan on December 22, 2013, 12:45:41 am
I don't know how much I want, would you mind PMing me your best offers? I can tell you the Suzuki game has an offer on it for $55 plus shipping from another forum.
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: nuckles87 on December 22, 2013, 01:17:33 am
Well, I sent you an offer. Project Berkley doesn't really go for much on eBay (there are two copies just kind of sitting their right now), so I figured I'd might as well go for a bundle.

Never mind. If it had been a signature on just about any other Yu Suzuki game (even a super common one like Virtua Fighter), I might have paid that much. I'll have to pass.

$100 doesn't sound bad for the whole collection of US Dreamcast Magazines (that comes to around £60 in the UK, and we pay £5 a mag).

I would be interested but postage is way too expensive to export to another country. :(
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: Nathan on December 23, 2013, 12:06:58 pm
I'll check postage on them when I go into town today for you, where in the UK are you?

EDIT: Check postage. It would be over $60 to ship the magazines to England. :/

Nuckles, if you're looking for some Shenmue I tunes, I do have the original Shenmue soundtrack.  I could somehow get you some of the tunes, if you wanted. (listening to it now, in fact...)
Title: Re: Interested in a complete set of official US Dreamcast mags?
Post by: nuckles87 on December 25, 2013, 01:13:03 am
Well, the bootlegs aren't really worth anything, so I'm not really paying much of anything for them. It's more just giving me an excuse to give a guy in need an extra buck. Thanks for offering though, depending on what these bootlegs got I might take you up on that offer later. ;)

Post by: Nathan on January 27, 2014, 07:23:13 pm
I listed the items on eBay. If anyone is interested, I can send you the link because I don't know if I can post it on here publicly. I really need the money, otherwise I wouldn't be trying to so hard to get rid of stuff.

Post a link. You're good.
