OK, so I wanted a pocket for a real long time... I always had wanted one, but I never got one for one reason or another. When I saw that Lik Sang was blowing out pockets I bought 2 systems and 2 of each game so a buddy and I could play... Well, needless to say, after playing around with my order for about a week they canceled it, even though all items were said to be in stock and ready to ship... I get an email that says "Sorry, we have no stock... must cancel."

I was pissed, but ok, whatever. I go to Golden Shop and see their CRAZY SALE! A NGPC and 3 random games for $39. OK, its a good deal, even though you don't know what you get. I ordered 2 of those, hoping atleast one of the games would over lap so I could play some 2p goodness at first. I figured I could easily sell off any of the games I didn't like, etc... Well, I paid today and the item is shipping to me... and guess what! NO games!

Yeah, they say, sorry, all out of games, ship the systems back if you want a refund. FUCK THIS! I sure as hell am shipping the systems back, $39 for a bare pocket is NO CRAZY SALE, that is a damn high price actually looking around on ebay and other sites. So I've had it, I am out of the pocket market, I just needed to vent. Fuck this man, it is rediculous trying to get these games.

You've got to be kidding... They shipped them WITHOUT games? Craziness. If I get anymore systems in stock anytime soon, i'll let you know <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Geez if you really want one that bad I have a second NGPC with two games I would be willing to part with for a fair price.

Sorry to hear that, man.

What games you are after? I really had no probs getting common games like Slug 1, MotM, KoF R1 and 2, etc., but there are those which I prolly will never find for a good price, stuff like Evolution, Faselei, etc. The last offer I got for Faselei Euro was $100, fuck that. What do these ppl think NGPC games are, homecarts?

if you can, cancel the credit card charge under the pretense of false advertising, then ship it back.

thanks for the heads up on Golden Shop though. That's pretty scary that they would ship without clearing that point up.

Hmm, just what is going on with the HK companies at the moment. I smell a conspiracy..... <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />

Maybe this is why the prices are rising ?

Us lot here know the market and most of the sources, but if we are starting to struggle think what it is like for everyone else - no wonder Ebay is fetching the prices !

Let's just hope it is a temporary blip (apart from my auctions of course ;) ), otherwise there will never be any new collectors getting into the NGPC scene.
