I  consistently pay high prices for any turbo games because they are soooooooooo thin on the ground in the u.k and europe, im equally confused by shipping costs from the states some people want like $20 per card others $6 when i question sellers they say the $20 is standard and there is no cheaper option im hoping to make it over for a few days next year and hopefully bolster my collection considerably.



No joke, the small flat-rate box to any international address is 24.95$ now.  That flatrate box can hold three jewelcases safely.  That's it.

It costs 11-12$ to send a jewel case in a first-class parcel to Europe.   It's pretty retarded.   

Man this sucks and yet i can order a stack of like 10-15 cards from japan and get them for $10 done. Damn this postage shizz dont these guys know they are f*cking with my Turbo love!

I'm planning on ordering some stuff from Rakuten/surugaya-a-too pretty soon. Particularly Street Fighter 2 and a second pad/multitap. Are there any other good/cheap games I should get? Preferably no Japanese needed to play.

Is it just me or did Surugaya-a-too completely disappear from Rakuten? I was going to order some PCE stuff from them, but all their cheap goodness seems to be gone.

Other members have had this problem, They just changed their default search, make sure you change the shipping from country on the left side.  :)

$100 per TE seems to be even the forum price nowadays.  Sad really...

You have to change the shipping country to Japan. I emailed them and they still ship to the U.S. even though, when trying to purchase, it looks like they don't. I still haven't ordered anything, I had some problems with my bank card, turns out they were blocking all transactions with Japan and so I had to get a credit card. I don't normally use credit cards lol.

Well I placed my Surugaya-a-too order. The majority of the stuff I was looking at before x-mas was gone. So I ordered a multitap, Street Fighter 2 ,one of those Hori 6 button controllers, Ys 3, and Space Harrier. I wanted dodge ball and dragon spirit/saber but oh well.

technozombie, JKM, et all,

Dudes, this thread isn't about crap you're trying to buy, it's about hoarders, spendthrifts, braggarts, insta-collectors, VGA idiots, etc.

Collecting Much is more about insane WTB offers, insta-collections, serial collectors, CIB obsessors, commodity fetishists, and other links that generally don't lead to ebay. I envisioned this thread going straight to Fighting Street as people get pretty defensive about their collecting habits (and it's nearly impossible for any of us to level such criticism without a bit of hypocrisy).
