Hey everyone, there is a for sale thread on klov. The following games are for sale, I will buy some too and there is still space left in container 6. Seller is trust worthy, dealt with him before. Also lots of awesome parts for sale. Check out the thread. PM me if interested in any of the games or parts. Chase is going there soon to pick up games probably.

I have all the parts in Berlin and will send it via DHL. I do have your address. Expect it next week.
Still nothing.
Is on the way.

Well, there is some truth to Ullys concept. The pain to not get what one craves for is gone more or less. It might not be a constant sting motivating collectors anymore. Maybe.
The thing is that this only goes for non-rare/non-local games. Instead of craving that Tempest or Donkey Kong one sees on klov all day, one can go and get it. And play it.
In times of globalized shopping and shipping, the rare stuff is rare everywhere and the common stuff is common everywhere too.
Leaves you with all the local and rare stuff the american collectors would like to get there hands on too, but can't. If you are not interested in finding what you have here, the stuff you can't get in the US or Japan, the stuff that needs your attention to get preserved, then I don't get what this hobby is about, especially the hunt and road trip part.
My guess is, collectors are temporarely distracted and the situation is just changing. Road trips are not gone for ever. It's just a phase for some of the most active road trip guys that went on a shopping spree lately. When the shopping is done and the dust is settled the local hunt is gonna start gaining traction again.

Impatient I am.
Mate I think you are mixing up numbers here. The container with your stuff in should be number 7. #6 is the last one I do and its full already.
