...it seems like it's a general issue with the Lemon site - probably not the best page for it to redirect everyone to though, but hey - I'm guessing the Lemon mods are sick of getting emails from 'suspended' users! - Sorry guys!  ;)

...at least I know it's not just me....   :)

Phew!

:)

I honestly can't think why, so I'm hoping it's an automated over-eager script...

If not, then I'd sincerely like to know what I did, to so easily be demoted from a helpful and friendly loooong-term Lemon user, to **SUSPENDED**, in a heartbeat?

Ah well, I'm sure it'll get sorted, and in the meantime this is mainly for the benefit of my fellow forum users who ordered stuff from me.   I've posted it all out today, barring one order from Australia, with a question mark over the delivery address, as advised by the buyer...

Thanks again to all who have ordered, and hopefully a mod from Lemon will contact me to enlighten me on why I've become a Lemon Outcast!...

Cheers All!

...I've managed to list another 130 or so titles/items so far - Please feel free to have a look around!  :)

PS - I have some other title's, eg. "Rocky's Boots" and "Peter Beardsley's (Disk)" to name just two, and I know that these in particular are rare, but not exactly how much they're worth - so at present I can't list titles like these, for a) fear of offending people, and b) fear of shooting myself in the foot, price-wise!...

As always, if you're looking for something that has not yet been listed, I may have it, so might be worth popping me an email in the meantime, as I'm realistically not going to be able to list a lot of stuff very quickly unless I can sort some kind of bulk lister out...  :(

Well, I've only touched the tip of the iceberg, so will try to crack on with more listings over the week (still another 100 or so more titles photographed, but not yet listed), and many, many more to photograph...

NOTE! - If you're a casual gamer just nipping over to the Cavern, with a view to getting back into your retro fix, or just looking to grab some games you loved back in the day - if you think a particular title may look expensive, please be aware that certain packaging versions / disk versions of a game are MUCH rarer, and so command higher prices - if in doubt, please ask, as I may well have the normal price, regular release version of the item you might be looking at!  :)

All the best!

Den.

....more to list tomorrow, but it's slow going amending all of the photo's and listing items one by one - the bulk lister doesn't work easily for unique items, which is pretty much every one of my listings, due to photographing each one....  :(

Also added a "NEW" category - anything I list in the next few weeks will appear in here (and ONLY new things I've listed appear in here), and it's clickable from the HOME page!  :)
All the best!

Well, photographed 100+ items, photographing more and will upload them to the store tonight!

Got several unusual / rarer games to add in amongst this lot, 2 x boxed C64 modems (1 with receipt!), nice condition music maker keyboard, etc...

PS - Woke up this morning to some more orders! - Thanks guys!

Den

At last I'm seeing some visitors, so I'm really pleased it's starting to attract interest!

Thanks to all of you who paid a visit, and more importantly, bought some stuff!

I know I don't have a *huge* amount of stuff listed at this point, so I'll be photographing a LOAD of stuff over the weekend, and over the next week or so, I'm hoping to double what I've got listed! -

Special thanks must go to my fellow Lemoner's at Lemon 64 for coming over and supporting me!:-

...and massive thanks to Frank Gasking, over at Games That Weren't, for the linking and credits sharing for this great result:-

Once again, thanks to all of you!

PS - as it's pretty much required these days, I've also created a Facebook page for the Cavern, so feel free to nip over and suggest any links of interest, ideas for the store, etc, or just to say hello!:-

Oh yeah, and it'll soon have some 'cavern-like' graphics, at last!...  ;)

All the best!

Loads of shipping destinations added now guys!

PS - Please note that EVERY item I sell is weighed on a high-precision weighing scale, and that weight is added to the database, so you ONLY pay the EXACT shipping costs I get charged, for the EXACT combined weight in grams, of your items - this I think you'll agree is a 100% fair rate for shipping!

As all calculations are based on Royal Mail's prices, if I find any instances where the auto-calculated shipping costs would actually be cheaper for you via another carrier (for example a large or heavy bulk buy!), then I will of course check into alternative tracked options, and give you a shout before I ship, to see if you'd prefer that, and if so I'll refund the difference!

...Whew!...

Well, it took all weekend, but I've so far added:-

USA

Australia

Rest Of World  (This is for all countries not specified above, that Royal Mail charge as "World Zone 1")

As before, as each country has to have ALL of the rates added manually, per weight bracket, 250gm steps up to 2kg, this takes AGES! - if you'd like to purchase, and are in Europe, but your country has not yet been added, then please drop me a line, and I'll add it as soon as I get your email!

All the best!

Japster.

I've so far added "Rest Of World", "France", "Germany", and "Norway", and will be adding the rest of the main European countries this weekend...

As each country has to have ALL of the rates added manually, if you'd like to purchase, and are in Europe, but your country has not yet been added, then please drop me a line, and I'll add it as soon as I get your email!

Please also note that the prices I have put in are JUST for airmail postage, and that I will get proof of posting for all purchases sent, to cover myself.  If you would rather have a signed-for delivery, Royal Mail charges a whopping £5.30 on top for this, so I will see if I can place it as an extra service that can be selected if desired.  (Failing this, you can email me at the time of purchase, and I'll take a separate payment for it, then send it this way?)...

I've done this so that the postage fees are kept as low as I can manage, so please understand that I'm NOT a shop, just a collector, and as such I have no access to cheap signed-for services (or cheaper postage, for that matter  :(   ).

Therefore, the best advice I can give is that if you order larger amounts, then:-

   a) it's normally cheaper broken down per item to post, and...

   b) it's then probably worth paying the £5.30 signed for amount...

Of course, for the rarer/more expensive items I have for sale, it's probably worth adding "International Signed For" anyway, and on this note, please read below:-

If any overseas buyers/visitors are here, what I've realised I can do is take an order from you, and refund the difference once I've found out the postage costs to your corner of the world?

I'm the first to admit that this isn't ideal, but at least it gives my overseas buyers a chance to painlessly purchase items, and rest assured I WILL refund any difference immediately after finding out the ACTUAL, real-world postage cost...

Alternatively, I'm toying with the idea of shipping NOT being included in the initial purchase/payment, then I can calculate it once you complete your purchases, and get back to you with the exact costs from Royal Mail/Courier, to get your package to you securely?

Again, my apologies, but I'm talking to a brick wall as far as getting my host to simplify/automate the none-US / UK shipping rates creation for the site...  :(

Thanks for stopping by, and take care!
