Cool!

Solar Crusade is especially rare, and a very nice game to play also.

If I might comment on your eBay auctions: you really shouldn't copy paste parts of the description of other auctions. I could report you to eBay and they might take down your auction because of that. (and that reflects badly on you as a seller)

Hey XCL.. yeah its my first auctions.. The only things I more or less copied (from you.. good eye) .. are descriptions of the state and shipping conditions. I don't think there's a big crime in that, since that will always come down to the same things in auctions like these. Still.. apologies for any inconvenience!

I agree, not much of a crime, but it isn't a good idea for you to do.

You do not want to give a competitor on eBay the power to have ebay remove your auctions (at least I wouldn't want that). Removed auctions are also very annoying for potential buyers, because they would need to wait longer to get their items.

But there are also good reasons that I don't want other sellers copying my descriptions (or photographs). A lot of buyers associate a similar description with the same seller. So if you don't provide good service there is a good chance that that also reflects badly on my auctions. (people remember a style of writing and photograph far better then the name of a seller).

BTW. I just played Solar Crusade again: Lovely game!! Looks so good.

Yeah good point, I understand what you mean.. I'll keep it in mind for future auctions!

I'll make sure to pull Solar Crusade out one more time before it's sold.. jsut for old time's sake..
Just putting up these auctions makes me remember how much fun I had with these games, and how underrated CDi has always been to the general public!

by law, copying is prohibited. Although in The Netherlands your allowed to make a home copy of the media you have.
But who would sue you for keeping a copy of CD-i games :lol:

Make ISOs of your games, and upload it to some sites where there's CDi games to download (and i know one site, PM me if you want to know).

not me, but I was also outbid on an auction:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0386946171
The auction included Solar Crusade and Le Teleportaschtroumpf.
This second game (with smurfs) is one of the few games that I don't have in my collection. Anybody here that has won the auction? Maybe willing to sell the smurf game?
