From what i noticed on your list youve mostly got common games. All the ones that had euro releases too. The more desirable ones are Woody pop, Alex kidd bmx, both larger boxed games with the required paddle controller included. What else is there, great ice hockey is a real rarity, the two silver games rygar and solomons mine are nice to have when you get a jap system.

Hey dude, you should try to find a contact in brasil that will buy games for you on mercadolibre. 20 brasilian dollars for a complete mint game is the maximum you should allow yourself (except the rare shiet, of course. but there's over 200 non rare games to get hold of first ^^ ) Remember, once bock arrived on the "what you have bought recently" thread talking about his brasilian boxed master system and the "I can't remember how many games coz there were so many of them" for a price I would call "less than the price you would pay on ebay for a pal master system and the same amount of games" Btw, rupert, you got a pm.

Lol! They're not called Brazilian Dollars - they're called Brazilian Real. And you do know you can register on Mercado Livre if you want? I've been a member on it for ages and bought stuff through it.

I didnt even know the SMS was realeased in New Zeland, did it have any unique games/variations or was it Australian and European stuff? SMS was THE console of choice in it's time, it was very very popular over here, it blew the NES out of the water The only variation that I have come across are the silver games, there the box the cart and everything was silver as opposed to black

Yeah, I know you can register on mercadolive. But I find it easier (and cheaper) to have someone there getting the stuff, paying for you and then sending loans of games at once. No need to ask the guys if they will send to europe, no need to get unbearable bank fees for the transfer and moreover, no need to receive a game and realise it doesn't work lol

Yeah, fair do's but I don't bother with bank transfers, I use bankers draft and just send it when I'm using Mercado Livre - it's costs less than half of a bank transfer! I generally buy threeor four things from teh same seller to ensure I'm getting my moneys worth in postage - for those that don't know it's approx 4 R$ to £1

LOL! yeah, it is kind of weird isn't it!!! And just install the babel fish toolbar - it translates the site for you into not quite english - but makes it understandable! That way you can ask questions, read descriptions, terms and conditions etc. I've used it quite a few times with absolutely no problems! Average postage aint too bad - last delivery I got was 4 games, and postage was R$43 (£10.40).

have you picked up anything interesting from Mercado Livre Kung Fu?

Post by kungfukid on Aug 17, 2006 13:58:26 GMT
Not a whole lot that is OVERLY interesting, but quite a few of the cardboard covered games, 2 of the gambox games - one with the ninja, shinobi & kungfukid on it, and one with sports stuff on it. A mint tec toy george foreman, and a few other things that escape my mind right now. There are always thing like sms compacts (the actual ones - not the sms 2 which they call compact for some reason too!!), there were 2 master girls on last week, loads of bundles come up. I've seen Mortal Kombat 3, SF2, FIFA and loads of the exclusives come up over the last couple of months - just sometimes I don't bother unless the same seller is selling a few things at once! One of the contacts I have in Brazil is a guy I met through mercado livre - and he's been great - emails me when there are good things that come up and asks if I want them! Like Kenneth said - it is good if you can get a contact, I'd recommend it!
