Title: Boxed Duo-R for £150
Post by: soop on March 05, 2012, 11:19:02 PM: It's a good price compared to eBay, and it saves me the ~£40 shipping I'd pay from Japan.

I should buy it shouldn't I?

Seems kind of high to me but if the box/system/controller/manual is minty it might be a decent deal. It's hard to tell without having a look at the condition.

Post by: soop on March 06, 2012, 05:55:21 AM: Yeah I collect boxed systems. It's probably the lowest down on the list of stuff I don't have (LT being tops :(), but it's a pretty good deal at todays rates.

Well I'd say with the strong pound you might be able to get a better deal on a boxed system from the US eBay, even with shipping.
