Okay... Orion, the cost I paid will make you cry. Mine was less than 1/2 yours.
I'm sorry.
Maybe next time, I can help some people source items. Though I have paid extortion prices in the past, if you are looking for something and prepared to pay x amount, I can help to see if I can find it cheaper.
Usually, its the rarer items I find fun to find. Wouldnt really go for any of the more common retail items.
I found a complete Fort Max for a guy previously for $600.
Pulse, no, I havent dealt with him before.
I am trying to hunt down the japanese version of Nightbeat at the moment. Minerva. Maybe I can ask this guy to help. He hasnt listed any prices on his site so abit hard to guess if he is competitive or not. But doesnt hurt trying.
