I think £700's a reasonable starting place. You might have to drop, or maybe you'd get more on ebay. Hard to say really. I don't think it's taking the **** to start high considering what you've spent on it overall.

Astros are perhaps common but they're the classic cab for arcades and home. I think it's quite a hot item on ebay if you can be arsed with the hassle of selling it on there.
You talk a lot of sense, Joe.

An Astro from Ronnie would set the impatient buyer (I've been there. More than once) back £600 once shipped. In my experience Ronnie's cabs have been 100% technically as described, but clean and pretty they ain't. I've been extremely happy with the service he provides, but the above caveat has always applied.

It will sell at £700. Might have to wait a while for the right buyer to materialise.

Got a Kaneko Gals Panic board.

Wondering what it is worth, sat in my place for a few years doing nothing.

Just sold my Astro for £550. It didn't have a new cp, but has had parts repainted and did include 2L6B, 2L12B, 1L7B panels

These are doorstops worth next to nothing. I have one which i use as testing board on crappy cabs which are likely to burn the board after a few mins.. ;)

Oh I know, but how much is nothing? Maybe I should shove it on eBay or donate it to HoG.

Regrettably sold my Astro earlier this year for £500 with NOS cp, new sticks etc...advertised and sold on here. It's about the norm I think for a reasonable condition cab... :)

Crikey just checked in on here, really started a conversation. I'll advertise the cab at £650 then. I'm not looking to make more than its worth or I'd put it on eBay. I just want to try and get approx what i paid. Cheers for advice. If no one wants it I will mothball it for when I have more space. Cheers

Any ideas on these? I have them for sale but no hits yet. Have the Advance Wars games for £25 posted the pair and the N64 bundle for £40. I thought they seemed decent prices? I normally sell stuff in hours not days! :( haha

Dont make me bring this lot to Play in my car boot...

Maybe eBay is the destiny of this lot?

I might be interested on that HK OOT cart on its own.

I was going through my stash of movies I've put in storage and found a copy Transfomers The Movie Special Edition DVD by Rhino from 2000. I seem to recall this was something special or sought after? Is it worth anything?

About £4

I wish it was worth a lot, I have it too, but it's been released way too many times. The Ultimate Edition has been the best so far and even that's only about a tenner or something. (still available new from play.com for £25)

Alright. I thought there was some reason people wanted this one even if they had the optimus ultimate reconstruction edition on blu-ray too.

Completionism is all I can think of. All of the bonus material is on the Ultimate, plus a lot more besides. UE makes it obsolete I'm afraid, I had that sad feel myself when I bought the tin. :(

That makes me think of the time i bought the R1 import dvdbox for Transformers season 1. I was like :awe: when i bought it. When i came home and watched it, it turned out they had left in all the "Transformers will be right back after these messages" - "Transformers is back" things that apperantly were broadcast before and after every commercial break in the US. So, that's like 100 times per episode. The mood went to :-o :mad: :sick: very quickly. I couldnt even bring myself to selling it and make someone else suffer that ****. I dont even remember what i did with it, i hope i burned it.

I have ideas what this is worth but I have been collecting it for the last year and I am a bit reluctant to sell and all this stuff is in REALLY good condition and took me a while to get. Its all PAL.

If its peanuts, ill just keep it.
