check again your Sound Blaster 16 ISA sound cards description 😉

thx, glad to see someone is "awake" here 😁

I would like one of the Terratecs (and maybe a GUS, since I am a big GUS fan and I only have an ACE), but I am having a problem with PayPal... They do not accept any of my 2 cards, because some security number is not printed on their back. I'll have to sort it out with my banks.
😉 In the meantime, I'll try to enlist the help of a friend who has valid eBay and PayPal accounts.

You know you can make a bank transfer too?
I just provide you with my IBAN and BIC/SWIFT code
I don't know how it is in Romania but if you have access to your bank service thru internet you can easily do the bank transfer there as you pay a bill or transfer cash to someones account in Romania 😀

Of course we can do bank transfers. Sincerely, I do not know the postal fees from Sweden to other EU countries (the same for all EU countries, or depending on distance?).
Make me an offer I can't refuse 😁 and then we'll talk about cash transfers and postage stuff.
I am certain about a Terratec, and if you make me a good offer about a GUS PnP I'll take one of those too.

😐 Now i know why PayPal does not accept my cards. I did not activated a service called 3D Secure for any of them... Bugger..
Anyway, I placed a bid on one of the Terratec cards (or you selling them both to the highest bidder?)

Selling both to the highest bidder...you get both cards in the same auction 😀

I managed to link one of my cards to my PayPal account (after I activated 3D Secure thingie). But it will take several days before my account shows the recent activity (the $2.50 PP withdrawal) so I can confirm that card with PP.
Hope by monday everything will be ok ( 😁 in the event I win the auction).

Tough luck... Somebody with more eBay experience than me snatched them right under my nose. At least I hope he will use them, and not re-sell them at exorbitant prices, the lucky bastard. 😒

Right - back in early Dec. I was tried waiting until the last few seconds to bid on Cassandra Galleries (PC game) on ebay, and it didn't have a Buy It Now button next to it, but even thou I bidded my best, the same thing happened to me - someone else bidded the game right out from under my nose (and eyes)! But hopefully I'll get myself a nice copy of Cassandra Galleries one of these days (just as I got Celtica) - and Fillosaurus will get the stuff he's been wanting too!
