The French seller is surely crazy. My McDonalds collection, if we count with the sending cost, cost 45€ in total. And this dude here believes he can earn 60€ for the two. If interested people look well, they can find the same figures for better prices. Sadly, these have been more common to find in these last years.

Plus that Rayman has a mole on his nose. :P

Anyways, does anyone know much about calling cards featuring a picture of Rayman? Are they fake or something? I bought a used calling card from Singapore like a year or two ago with a picture of the game Rayman Bowling on the front.

I have never heard of the cards, but the fact you bought from Singapore is a red flag- they don't hold the most bootlegs, but they do have a fair amount of them.
It would help if you could post some pictures of them.

Yeah the fact that it was from Singapore is what made me unsure of its authenticity.

Anyways, it looks like my camera needs to be replaced. This is the best I could do.

Hmmm I'm not quite sure if it is a bootleg or not, but just like Eshap said, I tend to avoid purchasing items located in dubious countries.

Saw it, but I think they ask too much.

That's a really weird-looking card- never seen it before. TBH it might actually be authentic, but if it's a relatively unknown company, then they could've just slapped Rayman's mug on there to get a quick buck. Who knows- phone cards aren't a common bootlegged item.

Also, I saw that stand, but I could never pay that much for it. ;u;

Dah, you found that Rayman 1 box! I was going to link it to you ages ago, but I completely forgot and couldn't find the link afterwards. Bit pricey anyway.

If anyone wants the original French version of R2 for PC: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rayman-2-The- ... 43bb6cfe00

The problem is, it does not include the map.

So was there a reason the Rayman statue post was deleted? Someone here was interested in buying it or something?

I was sort of weary about the seller since he had some uncomforting feedback regarding a previous sale of his but I decided to have fun and see if he would actually consider shipping to Canada if I won. Turns out the talks went very well and what not. Since eBay wouldn't let me bid, I had to tell him myself what my max bid was. So this morning I see the auction ended for less than my max bid. However, I did recieve a message from him. And it read as follows: "Hallo, sorrrryyyy sorry, could no longer provide unreachable girlfriend. I am very sorry"

Not exactly sure what that means, but I found it pretty funny. :mrgreen:

Well when we were discussing shipping and what not he actually took a few days to get me the costs and the type of shipping and what not. If there's one thing I've learned, you should always ask sellers why they dont offer international shipping. Sometimes it's simply because the costs are high. If that's the case, I usually tell them I understand the costs will be high but I'm willing to pay etc. That was the case here. So he definitely did understand some. But this morning it's like I was speaking with a whole new person. I didn't think the deal would go through in the first place so that's why I find the whole thing funny.

French are some of the most crazy for shipping. Come on, I paid 10€ for a sending cost from there, and it is an European country. :tssk:

Sending from here to an European country can cost around the same thing (it depends of the weight of course) but only if you ask for economical sending. I usually send by Registered Mail because of speed and assurance in case of loss.

These are the prices for Registered Mail to European destinies:

Up to 20g: 3,07€
From 20g to 50g: 3,50€
From 50g to 100g: 3,75€
From 100g to 250g: 4,75€
From 250g to 500g: 6,25€
From 500g to 1Kg: 8,95€
From 1Kg to 2Kg: 13,25€

La Poste goes much more further in pricing with the Collissimo, not to mention that the International service is bad. I had problems with them thrice, and one of them was loosing a parcel I sent to France and got stuck in Paris. Fortunately the assurance of the CTT gave me the money back from both sending and the content of the parcel.

@Emshomar It was back when I bought the MacDonalds collection of R2. The collection wasn't already cheap but I had to pay extra 10€ just for the sending (That went backwards to France first for some reason).
