http://gamebank-web.com/ec/store.asp?code_syosai=431547 is making me want to order from this place and blow way too much money

It looks suspiciously like the Genesis 3 but it's probably half hollow inside like my pirate Famicom.

The people at XINGA are scam artists. Try adding a GBA screwdriver to your cart, about $3.99, and weighing next to nothing. Hit checkout. Extra $5 Mystery Fee is added. Then calculate shipping for a 1 ounce package from HK to the US .... $25 for 1 week delivery? What!?! Then it will add a Credit Card fee even if you don't use a credit card.. for a grand total of about $39.

They're just hoping no one will doublecheck these things before hitting the Submit Order button, but there's PLENTY of time to spot this copulate with the 45 minutes it takes to submit an order. gg Xinga.

Plus their site appears to be hosted on a 2400 bps modem on Saturn. Many of their images are even stolen from other sites (i.e. "TAKING THE PICTURES...") ... I would never expect anything ordered from this site to arrive.

Actually, xingas prices are very nice, alhough shipping's a killer. The only thing I don't like is how slow their server is.

I think it's like this for shipping, it's ~$20 for the first kilo, and then $10 a kilo after that.
Not too bad if you're ordering a lot of small things, but for the larger things it's kinda bad.

Yeah, I checked Gamebank's policies and they say 1000 yen ($10) shipping on any size order, or free if you order more than 30000 (about $300) worth of stuff. The only reason I'd order from Gamebank is because they're in Japan, where the laws against dicking people are pretty rough. So I wouldn't be too worried about not getting the stuff. Then again, if they knew what I was buying, they'd be like "Why are you buying from a site that calls itself super-shady?" If anyone is seriously interested in any of the stuff on that site (that isn't too expensive or heavy) I wouldn't mind getting it and shipping it back to the USA... but it'd be fairly costly probably to get it there within any decent amount of time

who's ganno?
anyways, the people who ordered from me got them only around a week after I recieved the items.

Gamebank's URL is http://gamebank-web.com/gamebank_main2.html. I'm not sure I'll be making an order from there, but if I do, I wouldn't mind sharing the shipping costs a bit more.
