No its definitely relevant. Wonder how much he is wanting for that. Someone interested should check and see if nothing else, if they would be willing to take paypal and ship the stuff.

Just inquired to see if he takes pay pal, he says send cash and will ship it out.

Is it worth it?

How much is he asking? I have a buddy stationed in NC in the Coast Guard who may be able to swing by and pick this up...

I offered USD 50.00 for order of the Griffon and the System card 3.0 and he accepted it. :shock:
Maybe he does not know much about the system. I am trying to get an address now.

Dont send cash. Send a check or money order and use delivery confirmation so you have proof he received payment.

Ha! I was wondering about this since I don't have System Card 3. Thanks for bumping the topic. :)

No I decided not to take the chance, every time I sent a message he would respond with one word and usually spell it out wrong such as "good" he spelled it guurd.  I just did not get a good feeling.

Damn. And here I was rooting for you that it would work out and you'd have a system 3.0 card for super cheap.

Too bad theres no one local to NC who could pick this up in person

roflmao lives close to there.  He is in NC.

I haven't been following this thread, but, yep - I live in Fayetteville.  

EDIT: His zip code is a little over an hour and a half from mine.  I don't really have a lot of free time these days.  Finding a 4 hour chunk to head out on an adventure like this is not in the books for the near future. Maybe if it's still available in a few weeks when things (hopefully) have settled down at work.   :)

I met up with him last night and bought what he had left for a fair price.  The system card was gone but I did get the Turboexpress and several games, some loose, some complete.  The TE needs a few caps replaced but overall its in good shape.

Any idea how much he sold the System card for?
