C&C Red Alert (original big box/manual)
C&C Red Alert Aftermath (original big box/manual)
C&C Red Alert 2
C&C Tiberian Sun (original big box/manual)
Deus Ex (original big box/manual)
Deus Ex 2
Homeworld
Homeworld 2
Farenheit
Hitman Contracts (still sealed)
Hitman Codeman 47
LORT: ROTK

HERE LOOK I HAVE EVEN TAKEN THIS PICTURE:

Ideally one of you is a lunatic who will want all of them. The unpackaged weight is a little over 2kg, so I can probably post via standard parcels for £8. If someone wanted to give me £7 on top of this, that'd be smashing. Pretty much everything comes with manuals that I haven't drawn penises on and is otherwise complete.

Wikipedia for the game reckons so, but I still run XP on my PC so I can't confirm firsthand:

Quote:
Remarkably, Homeworld remains fully compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Using special compatibility modes is not generally necessary, but can help in rare cases. Graphical glitches may occur when not using the software renderer. To enable OpenGL you have to run the game in compatibility mode Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5). The game is also locked at a 4:3 aspect ratio, so widescreen displays are stretched and multi-monitor configurations are typically mirrored. However, you can enable widescreen resolutions by editing the registry.

I'll take the C&Cs because I always regretted selling my own. However, I have no money until the start of the month, so I'll take them assuming nobody else wants them. I won't get in the way if anyone else does want them in the meantime, though. Also, how much? I don't need RA2, by the way. Just the big boxed 'uns.

Splitting makes this complicated, because I've indicated £7 for all of the buggers, but in the event nobody else wants them I suppose a couple of quid plus postage is the thing. They might actually be the most valuable of the set as it seems US versions of the big box can go for a tenner on ebay. Can I be arsed with that? No I cannot.

Original Tanya was way more appealing than the makeup-clad OTT clichés of the later games.

Agreed.


Anyway those are pretty poor selling games for the most part so finding someone to take the lot would undoubtedly be a bit difficult. Certainly for £15.

Most are available on Amazon at 1p each + postage (which works out at around £2) so I'd expect people are more likely to buy from there. Aftermath has some potential of maybe £4 and the homeworlds aren't too bad though at £2-£4 possibly. But still someone taking the lot at that still difficult I reckon.

If I were buying for profit I'd probably go up to the price of the postage for the lot, and there's not a huge amount of profit there.

In a world where I can't sell 12 games for £7, I'll keep the games.

But I hate you all and this cottage is far away from where I live! What's the date of that again? Yeah, I'm busy that weekend.

You're not selling 12 games for £7. You're selling them for about £15 when postage is added on. It's just as I say, selling as a lump is quite a difficult task I'd have thought. But then you said you can't be bothered with the ebay or amazon route which would be your best chance of selling them.

I could be proven wrong and I hope I am.

I think I adequately covered this with 'one of you is a lunatic and wants them all', and you make it sound like £15 is in someway an unreasonable amount of money. if I could be arsed to ebay them individually or in small lots I'd get plenty more.

Yeah, and someone buying them off eBay individually would be able to buy the ones they wanted for considerably less than the whole bundle you're offering. :shrug:

So what you're suggesting is: The fewer games they buy the less they'll pay? Zoinks!

S'ok, this is just a very lazy posting in the hopes of shifting them all simultaneously. £15 posted still sounds utterly cheap to me.

Nah, it has to be silver for Hitman.

Would a 'paint the laptop silver' patch fool the game?

It's what's inside that counts.

The insides are also black.
