- clearly 20 bucks to ship those. 


*yes it is our old friend again.


Depends on packaging. I believe that the cheapest you can ship a single game with tracking by Canadapost is around $15. Without tracking a buyer can file a false claim and steal your money.

You can ship it cheaper and can get tracking for less than $20 internationally.  Especially shit like this that almost fits into a standard envelope.

So this guy is selling a turbo that is untested so he is unsure if it works due to the fact that he don't have a power cord
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=190774966955&cmd=VIDESC

But in this auction he is clearly selling a power supply for guess what a TurboGrafx

This is the response after I asked him about it

"Thanks for your interest. Busy here with house full of people for the holidays and dont have time to mess around with it However Since you asked i just did a quick test hookup and get nothing but black and white hash lines. Could just be the Antenna box but I don't know. Thought I'd see if there was any interest before I just trashed it.

That's gotta be a typo.  I'm sure he meant to put $3.50.

I wonder if they are one and the same with http://www.ncsxshop.com/

I use to shop from them years ago and personally never had issues with them.  Clearly they gouging on that particular item.
