No best offer? I'd have offered 27k.

Re: Items spotted on eBay
That's one ugly Dreamcast!
That said, half these 'special' edition consoles look like ****! I remember buying a Hashin Tigers GameCube years ago (I only bought it because it was the cheapest new Japanese console I could find with a Gameboy Player, at the time) - and it was probably the ugliest console I'd ever seen

Re: Items spotted on eBay
To be fair, I actually always liked the Q too That was a bit of a special case, as it actually featured much more premium design/materials. As opposed to just a fugly colour scheme (and maybe some extra logos)

Re: Items spotted on eBay
Makes the Cave bloke look sane!!
What would Kernow say?!
If you haven’t got eight hundred and fifty grand for a PlayStation collection, perhaps you’ve at least got three grand for a poster??

Just a casual two grand more than I paid for mine.
They’ve not even calibrated the geometry for the sale
I don’t understand these ludicrous listings. Are they actually hoping a drunk millionaire will ‘BIN’?!?

Re: Items spotted on eBay
Still don't get the appeal of PVMs. Got half a dozen consumer CRTs of 14-21inch here - Panasonics, Sony, B&Os - all with what I'd consider near-perfect picture and geometry across various display technologies, all silent in operation (unless you're 12), none looking like it's just fallen from a 1980s news network van. Is it an American thing? A Reddit thing? *shrugs*

Only two of mine are allowed in the house but yeah, I don't get the telly-mountain rooms either. I like Videodrome as much as the next man but I wouldn't want to live in it.

Consumer crts will only get popular when the price rises, pvm/bvm are basically only for shelfqueens who like to look at shelves full of boxprotectors of unplayed ****djhDET wrote: ↑May 10th, 2023, 10:16 am Still don't get the appeal of PVMs. Got half a dozen consumer CRTs of 14-21inch here - Panasonics, Sony, B&Os - all with what I'd consider near-perfect picture and geometry across various display technologies, all silent in operation (unless you're 12), none looking like it's just fallen from a 1980s news network van.

Re: Items spotted on eBay
Any CRT with RGB looks great, but professional CRTs are popular in America because their typical telly didn't accept RGB.djhDET wrote: ↑May 10th, 2023, 10:16 am Still don't get the appeal of PVMs. Got half a dozen consumer CRTs of 14-21inch here - Panasonics, Sony, B&Os - all with what I'd consider near-perfect picture and geometry across various display technologies, all silent in operation (unless you're 12), none looking like it's just fallen from a 1980s news network van.

Take RGB out of the equation and a low end PVM still has better geometry and much more calibration control. You have to go to the higher end models to notice a decent image improvement - which is debatable for games.
They are overpriced now though.
Then again I'd be more than happy to spend a couple of hundred or more on a CRT. Just a nice bonus that we don't have to.
I'm not bothered about their décor. I'm not trying to impress tea party guests.
