Hi there, if interest still exists and if there are people out there with Draco's and Casablanca's i'd be glad to share thoughts with you in the group i started a few weeks ago! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Draco-Casablanca/?yguid=345414320
I just hope this isn't considered a show-off.. :-) Strangely enough, nobody seems to have visited!

Well, folks, i'm actually glad you haven't seen what i have seen a couple of weeks ago on the Austrian ebay! I'm saying this, because you would 've been as depressed as i have! There came around the "chance of a lifetime", really! This guy sells a couple of Draco cubes, and a tower, plus all the extra paraphernalia you could imagine of! And i says OMFG! I'm gonna hit this one! Allas, shipping was beyond just forbidding...
Even though he stated shipping within EU would be around 220,00€, when i asked for more details, he said: i don't ship to your country, you gotta find your own courrier! (mind you, the auction claimed Shipping:Worldwide)
So, i started searching for the right courier. To better understand the size of the whole whatchamacall it, it measured 100x100x160cm, and weighted 150kgs!!! Most wouldn't deal with a set like that, and only one of the well-known couriers would do it, for the special price of 2700€.
That ended the dream for me as you can understand...
Although the auction ended rather cheap (ultra-cheap i would say), and i was prepared to spend up to maybe 1000€, the whole deal would simply take off!
And now, hopefully you'll still have some time to browse through this deal until it's erased from the "bay" by clicking here: http://cgi.ebay.at/Macro-System-Draco-Cube-Amiga-Videoschnittsystem-V-Lab-/220685592107
Warning: not for the faint-hearted! I'm sure Draco lovers will understand my feelings after this... :(
