The WCIV DVD version!!!
Hurrah for me!
If you want, Starkey and Delance ,you could come to my home to watch the DVD movies!

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Huzzah, big party at Ghost's house, with supermodels, chorizos, empandas and the mighty choripan.

 

[Filler]

And numerous Australian stereotypes!

 

[Delance]

Thanks for the offer, but I already have WCIV DVD. It's cool to hear with full surround sound and a TV. If you can set up this with your comp, it's well worth it!

Congrats, but I'm confused:

You paid $20 to "win" something?...

 

[Starkey]

If he paid 20 pesos, that´s almost a gift. If I´m correct, 20 pesos = 6 dollars.

Hey Ghost thanks for the invitation. I´ll let you know when I finally make my long-delayed trip to Argentina.

It was an auction, he won an auction.

 

[IPhoenixI]

Yeah not bad

 

[Starkey]

There´s WC life in Brazil and Argentina outside Ebay, people:

(only Brazilian auction sites below):

SWC for 3DO - CD only, no box

WC3 for Playstation

WC4 PC

Divide all R$ prices by 3 to get the approximate US$ value.

 

[Ghost]

Yeah, it´s like 7 dollars.
I arranged with the guy so i will pick the DVD the friday,
I will have a ''WC Sunday'', re watch WCA, the DVD and if i have time WCM
WOOT!!!!

Now there is a WC4DVD auction,in mint conditions, 15 US$ aprox.!

Multiply by 3 you mean.

 

[Ghost]

Wait
If something cost 30 R$ that means 10 US$ not 90 US$

Hmmm. I don't see a reason to be that optimistic about the Real.

I know.
I just have a hard time reconciling the word "win" with the idea of paying money.

And Starkey: Pesos?...The linked page contained the figure "$20". Last I checked, that meant 20 bucks US

And Delance/Eder: that "multiply by 3", "no, divide by 3" bit reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch:

"Sir you must understand that Simmons has a tendency to multiply things by 10. So when he says the bed is 30 ft long by 60 ft long, it is in fact, 3 ft by 6 ft long....etc. etc. ..."
(Hilarious skit, BTW; you should check it out.)

And Ghost: What's all this Argentina talk? I thought you were from Brazil, no?...

When I get packages, which is about once or twice a week, I've already forgotton what they might be or that I paid for them. It's like Christmas every week with all my ebay winnings.

No Padawan, guess that you never

me

 

[Preacher]

Actually, I did profile you before, but I guess I forgot. Sorry.

So, y'all natively speak Spanish or Portugues' down there?...

 

[Ghost]

Spanish, the only South American country where Portuguese is the main languague spoken is Brazil.
