Let me know how you go lol.

I am going to the post office tomorrow! About freakin' time.

MIDI interfail

I think Kitsch will be able to give it a thorough look over and see what it can do. Thanks Low-Gain.

My name's Low-Gain and i Support this cause!
Thanks for making one mans clutter into someone's treasure Arfink! You rock!
Never opened that midi interface... but it has a model number! crazy!Hope someone brainy got it and will reverse engineer it to find out
how useful it really is.

Sounds good. Just let me know here or send me a PM.

Thanks!

OK, lots of stuff is packed and ready to mail after the weekend, see your PMs and pay your bills. Ribujaq, I'm going to get back to you after I get to the post office next time so I can have everything double checked, but that price sounds around right.

Anyways, I'll let the rest of this loot sit here for a bit longer, then it's going to the Vintage Computing forums where those drives will probably get snarfed up real fast.

Well I just took a look at the USPS postage rates. Not sure on if this would be right, but providing you had the envelope (I think), it'd cost around $14USD or so? I'm not really sure, it's a bit confusing for me since I don't know how the USPS system works.

But would it be cool to pay $25 AUD (inc. shipping, so $10 + $15) for the Music Composer?

Because the Neo Geo MVS carts were sold for arcade use only, and mainly in Japan. Twinkle Star Sprites was released very late in the system's life and the production run was very small. Few Neo Geo games sold more than a few hundred thousand copies, and rare titles like Kizuna Encounter had production runs of less than 1000 carts in some regions. They are jam packed with chips inside and were very expensive to make, and since arcade operaters were using them to make money the price was inflated even more. This also kept the market from getting very large. TSS is highly desirable not only for it's relative rarity but also because it's an insanely fun game.

Why are they so rare?

Not too bad, maybe 75-100 dollars too high for a loose MVS cart with fake label. Seriously. Neo Geo collecting is a bit crazy, and my bit about a TSS cart is mostly a joke. The most I have ever spend on an MVS cart was $45 for a Last Blade MVS cart. I'll probably never own a TSS cart.

Here's a twinkle star sprites car for neo geo

BUT LOOK AT THE FREAKING PRICE

I have obtained many boxes of various sizes. Some of you will be getting PMs about shipping costs and such.

OK, some things have been tentatively claimed:

Kitsch- Midi interface
Awol- 1 Datasette
rubijaq- Music Composer cart
Stickman6- Mouse

Nothing has been sold as of yet, because I'm not ready to ship. But unless these people say they no longer want their items they are reserved. Thank you!

I am unsure of international shipping rates at this time. USPS has been changing things up since the last time I shipped anything overseas, which was over a year ago. However, the cart and manual are not very big and could be fit into a padded envelope, which would make shipping much cheaper.
