Title: FS: US Magical Chase Box + other boxes for trade
Post by: geddon_jt on January 15, 2012, 02:48:04 AM
Dear all,
I am very fortunate to own a complete copy of US Magical Chase. I have owned this game since about 2007 and bought it from a fellow who bought it new upon release in 1993.
Due to financial reasons, and other considerations, I am strongly considering selling the cardboard box to this game. It is too much of a pain to hunt down the other boxes I'm missing and therefore I have come to terms with having a jewel+manual+cart based collection. I will keep the cartridge and manual.
Here is my dilemma. I would like to sell this to a community member rather than ebay it. However, I know how price sensitive people are on this site, and I won't mince words saying that I want a lot of money for this box. If I come right out with a price, I feel there is a pretty good chance I will wind up in that gouging thread and I don't want nor need that. However, I also hate selling threads where people say "make me an offer." So I am torn. In conclusion, I would like to get PMs from those of you who are interested in the item, and then I will perhaps contact you each with my price. I might change my mind on how to go about this but that seems to make the most sense for now.
I will, of course, provide hi-res photos to interested parties. This box is pretty special. It still has the outer shrink-wrap and hangtag on it, but was carefully opened at the very top to remove the game. The plastic inner tray is included. The box is basically in perfect shape with the following "flaws": the flap at the top has minor creasing from being opened to remove the game. Also, on the face of the box toward the bottom right are some marks, that almost look as if someone was writing with a ball point pen on top of the box before it was shrink-wrapped. You can't even see these "indentations" unless you hold it up to the light. The box is kind of wavy/curvy as is typical of all Turbo games released without a jewel case.
Please PM me if you are genuinely interested in this box. No, I am not a reseller, but a Turbo fan since I got one at 10 years old in 1989. So please go easy on the criticism.
I also have many more boxes I haven't yet listed but I may be interested in trading for the last few items I need to complete the US collection. Those items are as follows:
USA NTSC TURBOGRAFX-16/DUO COMPLETE GAMES NEEDED ================================================
Addams Family (CD) Battle Royale Darkwing Duck It Came from the Desert (CD) Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf (CD) JB Harold Murder Club (CD) John Madden Football (Super CD) Somer Assault Sonic Spike Volleyball
Hit the Ice (M) Timeball (J,M) Veigues Tactical Gladiator (C)
Maybe some of you who have the above items can let me know what cardboard boxes you are after and I will let you know if I have them. Thanks everyone! Kind regards, John

Quick update everyone. I have received a LOT of interest and I really appreciate it. I haven't yet responded to any PMs. What I intend to do is give this about another 24 hours and send all interested parties an email with my sale price and photos. This email will be sent simultaneously to all to make it fair. At that point, whatever person is first to offer what I am asking (or if nobody does, the highest offer?) is who I will sell the box to.
Thanks again everyone for your interest. Best regards, John

I'm sure you'll offend, or at least amuse, a lot of people here. I wouldn't worry about it though. Anyone who is enough of a dipshit to pay actual money for a useless cardboard box that does nothing but mimic the same art that is on the case itself obviously is open to the idea of spending way too much money on nothing. Basically, the only people who think its worth anything are the ones who are your potential buyers, so ignore all the a$$holes, such as myself, who consider this sort of deranged materialism totally laughable.

To the OP, thank you for offering it here first versus going to ebay. That is appreciated! As others have said, not all of us see the value in the boxes, but there are collectors with the disposable income to afford such things, so let em have it :D Good luck with the sale!

I for one, see no point in collecting card board boxes considering you could replicate one so easily.
Title: Re: FS: US Magical Chase Box + other boxes for trade
Post by: SignOfZeta on January 15, 2012, 03:34:34 PM
Replicating one is even stupider. It doesn't f*cking do anything. Its only positive characteristic is being %100 legit and real. If its not legit and real its completely pointless.

i think its great that hes prepared to offer it here first and given the number of pms hes said he has had its evidence that plenty of people would pay for a box even if there are a few people that dont see the value, i guess thats what makes the difference between pure collectors and pure players, i like to think i sit somewhere in the middle, where i like to play the games but still want the games complete and mint.. op for the overseas members could you try and make it a decent time for your email, im particularly interested in your list of other boxes.
Title: Re: FS: US Magical Chase Box + other boxes for trade
Post by: SignOfZeta on January 15, 2012, 09:21:10 PM
I'm pretty sure most people are in the middle. I haven't beaten Super Star Soldier on the hardest difficulty, but I'm not going to pay $200 for a cardboard sleeve either.

I have several games complete with their cardboard boxes. I have properly disposed of the boxes in the past by ripping them up, burning them, etc. as I see no "value" in the boxes myself. If lack of room dictates, I will properly dispose of the boxes I have now. If someone is out to collect "mint" then they are not a true OBEY'r. Games are meant for playing, dammit, not sitting around looking pretty. I suppose though that if people have the money to throw away on something so useless, more power to them. [-X

Although there are plenty of collectors out there who want to buy this stuff, I pretty much agree with you here. For instance, why do people care so much about spine cards? When I got game I used to just throw them away as they are annoying and useless pieces of paper, but I know some people are picky about having them so these days I usually tuck them into the instruction booklets in case I decide to sell them one day. But I guess that's what makes them collectable, as most people just toss them (as they used to do with NES boxes, etc.) Missing a manual is a pretty big deal as it has a lot of extra art/info from the game, but I can't see a single thing a spine card adds other than an annoyance.
I guess boxes have nice artwork, but I couldn't see myself spending a lot of money for one. Plus the fact that cardboard is always going to get damaged to a certain extent. That's why I don't bother to look for NES/FC/SNES/SFC games in box as they usually look like crap already, and why I love collecting Master System/Megadrive/Genesis games with their clam-shell boxes that look nice even after two decades of use.

Post by: Mishran on January 16, 2012, 01:13:37 AM
I normally tuck the spine card between the case insert and cd tray. It takes up no real space and I usually tend to forget it's in there. #-o

Yeah, that's a good place to keep it. If it's with the instructions it tends to fall out/get in the way. I should put more of my spine cards in there.

Post by: esteban on January 16, 2012, 04:22:18 AM
I didn't read this entire thread, but the reason why it's nice to have a box (assuming it is in decent shape) is because it is fun to see how it appeared at retail. I used to keep my NES boxes (back in the 80's), but it took up a lot of space (I stored them separately). Later, I ended up selling all my NES games (sans boxes) to fund 16-bit purchases. Well, I eventually found the old NES boxes, and it was a blast to look at the old NES art. I also realized that I should never had sold the NES games. Oh well.
blah blah blah

Yup games are meant for playing, but as a kid half as much fun as completing the game was just gazing at the boxes and looking at the pictures, especially when i wasnt always able to play as much as a i wanted ( damn parents and school ). Also i liked to keep my games tidy, mint, well looked after, they were my cherished items, i didnt get a new game that often, they were not cheap when i did get a new gamei was played and played and beat it, but it was still looked after, put back in its boxes as they were special items ( i remember getting FF3 and Chrono Trigger for SNES, i played them non stop but i still have them as new as the day i got them in their boxes) . Now i have the same habit, and i like to have my gear mint, i guess its a pride thing.. So the offer to you and others that dont desire the boxes as much as other, is if you have any boxes you do want to get rid of, and they are mint, then i would love to know if you have the last few i want to add to my collection as to me the games deserve to have everything they came with and in as good a condition as i can get them.. doesnt mean they wont be played.. you can look after your gear and enjoy the look of them at the same time..

I occasionally keep spine cards I there is art or text on them that is cool and isn't on the game itself. Examples: Saphhire (PCE) and Capcom versus SNK 2 (DC). Most of the time though I destroy them on principle.

I wonder how much he is expecting to get for it? I aint one to keep boxes myself, so I couldnt see paying a lot. However, I am sure since it is this game, it will be a substantial amount.

Maybe just keep an eye on the "What did you buy today" thread. :D
Yea prolly won't know and that's cool. I know in the past people have paid up to $450 for a mint box. I dnt see the point in a box by it self. But kudos to the seller letting the forum members have first crack at it.

Me neither. I hate boxes for the sole reason that they don't line up with the jewel cases on the shelf.
And yeah, $450 is almost half of what I've paid for my entire collection.

The whole reason to have it would be for resale value. Expect to see a loose MC with a box on ebay in the near future. I have a feeling the OP will make a decent amount of money. I have boxes to my games, but I don't go out of my way to buy a game complete with a box. I did however buy Neutopia complete (almost mint) with a box, but that was because it was only $17 bucks. All my boxed games besides Neutopia, were bought brand new back in the day. I just decided to keep them. The whole reason was cause that's how it was when I bought it. Now I could really care less.

To be fair, Magical Chase is one of those later releases where the cheap bastards skipped the case. The crappy cardboard box is the only "case" you get. So while the box is normally a useless wrapper for the case, if you don't have the box for MC you have a loose MC...which kind of sucks. One more reason to buy the PCE version.

I don't personally care about boxes and I wouldn't pay anywhere near that even for a magical chase box. I don't know if I'd pay that much for a loose copy of the actual game. Anyway, it seems like the guy's been pretty straight up about his intentions, so I can respect that. He came right out and said he wanted a lot of money for it. I don't know if this is worthy of pitch forks and torches. :)

Yeah, f*ck this guy. I was thinking it might want $150 and I was going to rag on whoever paid that much for it.
Also, plus %2 for PayPal fees? How just flat out f*cking greedy can you get? If I sold a useless box for $1250 I'd be willing to eat the %2. Even used car salesmen don't f*ck people that bad.

But what about the CHILDREN! Long live LilGrafx!
You know, I wish someone did in fact went back and remade hucard replicas (with working roms, artwork, boxes etc) along altered labels and disclaimers to flood the market. That would drive down the high prices as well as let younger people enjoy the game on real hardware. Seems like people have done for EVERY system except this one...

Ebay gouging is almost expected now days, but I think this IS WORST then Ebay gouging. The OP writing up a long winded post to come off like he sincerely wants to give a fair price and explains how he doesn't want to 'gouge' the pcefx community. Then tries to discretely offer/gouge a ridiculous price through PMs. Complete BS...[-X
My thoughts EXACTLY!! "Im your friend, here allow me to pat you on the back and distract you, while I shove my dick in your ass." Thats about what his post amounts to if you ask me. He knew he was wrong from the get-go. Doing us a favor?? LOL. What a jerk.

He did say he wanted a lot of money for it, so it shoulda been no surprise. But...
Imagine what kind of turbo/pc engine stuff I could get if I had $1250...
I'll admit $1250 is a little nuts. I don't think I've paid that much for modded my Duo-R and entire collection.

Some of you obviously just PMed me without any genuine interest in the item, just so you could take the time to write me back, tell me to shove the box "up my ass", and post on here what a jackass I am. Really nice.
At the end of the day, there were a lot of interested parties on this item, and you are hurting those people because next time I will think twice about trying to sell a rare item on here. It's easier just to ebay it than listen to this totally childish criticism and whining.
For those of you who wrote me and were gentlemen, I appreciate the interest.

HA!! Who is hurting who here, you moron? Its obviously not us. And yes, I did tell you to shove the box up your ass. Childish? Maybe, but then again so was your weak attempt at trying to hide what you were doing, acting like you were doing this community a favor. If thats the favors you have in reserve fella, I suggest you keep them to yourself. Maybe at the end of the day you did have some interested parties, and guess what? I was interested. Till I realized what you were actually trying to do. I was expecting a couple hundred at most, but damn man... WTF? So, yeah at the end of the day you had people interested. I bet at the end of the day you still have a empty box as well... Dont act like you are the victim here. It is obvious you were trying to victimize us, and it backfired in your face, as it should have. What you are asking for that box is just insane. If you dont like that we dont care for your attempts to assrape us, then by all means go assrape some dumbass on Ebay where you belong.

If you had made a decent offer no one here would be slamming you here on the forums. $1250 dollars is an insane amount of cash for a cardboard box.

People like this just make me sick, This is why the Turbo is so hard to enjoy. Young people try to get into the Turbo Games and can't cause shit like this turns them off.
It is frustrating. The PCE has always been thought of as an expensive system to collect for...but it really isn't. Most of the best games are less than $20. Shit like this distracts people's attention from a $15 Super Star Solider or $20 Lords of Thunder.

Guy's you should cut him a break the last magical chase sold here complete for $1700 and on eBay for $2k+. Although its seems quite high and it is its not like he completely off the wall. You guys are just pissed off that you thought you could take you loose MC (maybe you already have it) and put it in this box and have a $1500-$2000+ game for pennies on the dollar.
Really if you add up the cost you paid for your loose MC + his fee your probably in the ballpark of what a complete one goes for these days maybe less. If you are not in that ballpark then you probably grossly over paid for your loose copy.
I'm shocked people thought it would go for "a couple hundred" when complete copies are so expensive. i know i was hopeful that the price would be quite lower but i was more wishing that than actually believed that.

O BUT HEY we should thank him for trying to rape us 1st before doing what he should have done from the get go and toss it on ebay.
But what about the CHILDREN! Long live LilGrafx!
You know, I wish someone did in fact went back and remade hucard replicas (with working roms, artwork, boxes etc) along altered labels and disclaimers to flood the market. That would drive down the high prices as well as let younger people enjoy the game on real hardware. Seems like people have done for EVERY system except this one...
I so hope this happens some day. Heres how i see it. I want to play the game on the actual system, and have a nice box to display for my sake. If i want the real version then i'll buy it, bu ti have no issues with repos.

Well, that's the last time I try selling something on this site. It's a shame, as I like the fans to get this stuff, and people who have dealt with me in the past know that I have been more than fair. I have probably given away more Turbo stuff for free than the loudmouths in this thread have in their whole collection, but I'm not going to bother when I'm accused of being a dick for wanting a certain price on what, despite you want to believe, is a very rare, valuable and collectible item.
Those who have contacted me with trade items for my remaining boxes, I look forward to working out great deals with each of you. As you can see from my list on the front page, all I need is a bunch of commons, and I'm happy to trade some of my rare boxes toward some of those items.
This is my last selling post. Grow up, everyone.

That's true complete copies have the game. if you don't already own magical chase loose you should not be trying to buy the box. You should try to buy a complete one and unless your very lucky your going to pay $1700+
The idea behind the sale is for one of us to take one of our loose copy and make it complete. Loose copies go for $500-$800 while the complete copies go for $1700-$2000+.
I got called a moron here but its simple economics 101. The box is what drives the price from $500-$800+ to sometimes $2k+ is nothing but the cardboard box.
What sucks for all of us is were all so crazy about MC that the price got driven up to that point. About 10 years ago I passed on a sealed MC that was going for $600 because I thought it was a ripoff. Now I almost give my first born to get that copy for even 3x that amount. I really hate that this game goes for this much but that the market we live in these days.

The box isn't what drives the price up...people with more $, than common sense do ;)
$600 10 years ago BWAHAHAHAHA it wasn't going for that well after. Sadly people that are so OMG MUST HAVE "desperate" for what is by in large a just above average game (vs MANY other games in the system library) just continue to drive this game to beyond ridiculous amounts.

I'm sure the Big Tymers, the Players, the Grown Ups, will have a hard time buying this but I seriously don't give a shit about US Magical Chase. I'm not jealous. At all. If I wanted it I would have bought it off the shelf at EB where it sat for almost a year before being recalled to the warehouse. I'm not verbally abusing you materialistic f*cks because I covet your shit, I'm abusing you because you ARE shit.
Besides, $1250 is what I paid for my Miata, and it's a lot more fun riding the ass of a supercharged Viper at Waterford Hills than it is staring at a 20 year old cardboard f*cking box. I'm not the one with jacked up priorities.

At the end of the day, its a f*cking game. This isn't some piece of art that is like 100's of years old. The reason this game is so costly is because ass holes who sell it for high prices, and dumb asses who decide to buy it.
So when one person sells it for 1k it becomes a standard and everyone else prices as such. But This is not the place for that. I'm new here, but i have gotten so many good deals, that i refuse to buy high priced shit from ebay/ Even if i really want it, just because it would ruin the TG-16/PCE sale prices even more.
This guy is trying to defend his price by saying it is a rare item, and as such it justifies the price he is asking for. I say f*ck that, again this is not the place for shit like that. a month back BlueBMW sold me a complete copy of castlevania rondo of blood for $60. Now that is one hell of a deal.
I offered him that amount and he said it was fine, but i knew if i offered him less he would have taken it anyway, because he knows how much i wanted to play the game. This guy is out for pure profit, on a forum that is out for enjoyment of the games.

Post by: drsreym on January 19, 2012, 02:30:16 PM
Say what you want my point is you guys are blowing things out of proportion. Unless you guys start selling off you copies of MC at way below market prices the price will only go up more. So unless your volunteering to sell yours off for cheap you should get off your high horse. My bet is the loudest complainers are those who don't even own the game. If they did they would be happy their investment and value has increased and not try to do things to devalue their collection. If the complainers actually own a copy the sell it off at a what you think is a reasonable price as that the only way the market will go down. Supply / Demand.
I hate price gouging as much as the next so the best thing you can do is vote with you dollars and don't buy things that are grossly overpriced.

ITS A BOX, He's asking for MC game price for a box. So let me understand here. So what your saying is the box is worth more then the actual game itself.
The last MC COMPLETE in box game sold on the forums sold for $1700. Your asking $1250 for a box. So if that's the case your saying MC is only worth $450 then.
People are pissed because you came off as a cool guy that wasn't looking to screw us on the forums. In the end your price was just out of the ballpark. Iam one of the few members on the forums that do own MC Manual and game I could care less about a dam box.

The anger and name calling in this thread is really disturbing...is this really a mature gaming community forum or some schoolyard full of kids? Are people really this upset over the price he's offering the Magical Chase box for? No one is forcing any of you to buy anything from him so why get so upset? I'm not gonna justify his price for just the box, but Magical Chase is a rare game and the box is probably the hardest part to find for a complete copy. That might not mean anything to some of you but for collectors a lot of people are looking for it. Personally I would never pay that for just the box, but it's his property and he can charge what he wants for it. Its up to people to decide if they wanna pay that price for it and its really none of anyone's business who buys it and for what price. If you do don't like what he's offering just say no thanks and move along. Obviously if no one pays the amount he's asking for on here or ebay he'll lower the price.
Honestly I don't really care one way or the other, I've never had any problems with anyone on this forum, but since my names been brought up by someone who seems butt hurt over something I thought I'd give my 2 cents.

Not really any more rare than many of the late release caseless games.
The whole "acting like kids", whining about whats said...seriously it's gotten to be old hat around here. It has been noted for ages that if you want Ebay prices, GO TO EBAY. This is a fairly tight knit community for a niche (more than most) system. People can/have/will get called out over ridiculous prices (hell even the OP posted that he KNEW it would happen, then complains when it does....derp). Same as anything else, if it bothers you oh well, people here have always had an issue with people gouging....and that won't change.

What Nec said. I remember getting called out over my big lot sale and I don't recall acting like a little bitch about it. Instead after my vacation I came back and split it up eventually. And even after I posted prices for the games being individually sold, I gave some guys deals and took even more off the top. I understood people had a problem with the "lot" itself so I manned up and did right by these guys. That's why I did not sell anything from my lot on ebay knowing that I could have "probably" gotten more. I'm sure that left me just soooo butthurt*.. =)

If someone wants to be vocal against someone's prices whatever, but calling people "dick" or "shit" is taking things a little too far. There's no need to stoop to those immature levels on a classic gaming forum where you'd think most if not all posters are adults.

I know this isn't going to win me any friends, but for the most part I agree with this. Again, I wouldn't pay $1250 for a box. I wouldn't pay $125 for a box either. The guy was straight up though, he said clearly he wanted a shit ton of money, and that's exactly what he asked for.

I don't come on the site for 2 days and the place blows up....
I will say I was expecting the box to be offered in the $500 range, and the $1,250 was pretty shocking. Even if we are using ebay as the price setter, this doesn't make any sense?
If the last complete Magical Chase sold for $2,000, and if the loose game sells for $800... figure the manual must be worth... $400? So logic would dictate that even at ebay prices the box is $800? Keep in mind, on ebay the seller is paying a 15% fee, so then the true net profit in selling the box is $680? The nice guy first post made me think that you'd be giving the forum a bit of a discount, which should've maxed out your offer at about $600, again, this is using the already crazy ebay prices as a metric.
So in the end... this is pretty f*cked and it really doesn't make any sense. Unless, you assume that the price of the game has appreciated 100% over the last 3 months since the last copy sold? How come when I watch Kramer he doesn't tell me to invest in Magical Chase, it seems like treasuries are hardly the safest investment and gold can't even appreciate at this rate.

Any links to back that up? When I bought mine is was $500 card only so I don't know how far back your reaching.
you paid $500 for it loose? Wow.
That's like a house payment.
No he didn't say he paid $500 he said that's what they were going for at the time he bought his. He paid Thibaut's asking price of (around) $1700. WTF ever...but more power to him. He just can't read what I said.

up until the early to mid 2000's you could order the manual from tzd.com for $3. so that's a price increase of 13,000.00% from the old price. Kramer should have recommended the manual. talk about a nasty price there.

Who is this guy?
I spend a little bit more money on games than I should, and generally I am a little bit more accepting of higher prices than most... but it seems that rather than posting here you'd benefit more by jerking off and looking at pictures of money?

Are people really this upset over the price he's offering the Magical Chase box for?
Price is just partially why I'm upset. He can ask what ever price he wants, but it's the way he came about doing it that really sets me off. :evil: Posting a long winded spiel about not gouging and wanting to offer it here first and then thinks he's doing the whole pcefx community a favor by asking a ridiculous price.
No kidding. At first he seemed like he was all, "This is a great community. I want to give you guys first crack at this box." but he was really just giving us first crack at PAYING MORE FOR A f*ckING MC BOX THAT ANYONE HAS EVER PAID IN HISTORY. Wow, that's a lot, man! Its not every day we get offers like this. What a pal!
He only didn't want to go to eBay because he didn't want to pay the sellers fees, which is pretty f*cking cheeeeeeeeap considering how much profit is being made here.

Opportunity plus instinct equals profit. Anything worth doing is worth doing for money. A Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all. Never place friendship above profit. A wise man can hear profit in the wind. Nothing is more important than your health--except for your money. Profit is its own reward. The riskier the road, the greater the profit. The flimsier the product, the higher the price. The justification for profit is profit.

Hey geddon_jt! You knew this sort of thing was going to happen here. You could tell with your first post, but yet you figured you'd try anyways. It also seems that you have been over at the neo-geo.com froums for forever. I also see Tonk is in your friends list. That's great! Here's a question. If you have an AES Metal Slug game in complete condition but just want to sell the case for...lets say...$1500 (oh cause it's such a "rare item) how do you think the lovely community over there would react to it...especially Tonk? You'd probably get reamed worse over there by your loving community. Just go to ebay, put a BIN up for your box and have a nice day.

$500 for a box is "WTF are f*cking kidding me money :lol:"....but if the OP offered it up at that he would of been as cool as a penquin's turd with the forums.
$1200 for a box is "WTF are f*cking kidding me money :lol:" The OP offered it up at that and now he is the forum whipping post.

The idea behind the sale is for one of us to take one of our loose copy and make it complete. Loose copies go for $500-$800 while the complete copies go for $1700-$2000+.
True, that's what it goes for on eBay. You'll notice that this is not eBay.

To be fair, this isn't really a good analogy. Loose Neo Geo games don't come up for sale very often. The only ones I usually see are the ones that came in cardboard boxes in Japan only for the first year. When someone is selling an AES game they don't even bother to specify "complete" since its assumed that it was adult owned its entire life and since the cases are so nice, who (aside from NGF) would ever thrown one away or accidentally damage it?
Its probably not unrealistic to say that most copies of US MC are loose at this point, making the box much more rare than the game.

Take a look at geddon_jt's post history: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=4096;sa=showPosts
From his first post in 2008, all this guy has ever done is scrounge around for his precious collection. He's never argued with us about graphics, debated system specs, shouted at someone in Fighting Street, or asked for game play advice...nope, just "c'mon guys! help me complete my collection!"
He's caught flak for price gouging before and he's a ryovegas sympathizer.
Great guy.

The fuss about the amount he's asking is missing the point - speculators like to charge insane prices and sometimes they even get them. But why not go straight to ebay? The lip service to the community combined with the premium price, the 2% paypal fee, and "please-don't-bitch-at-me" preamble adds up to a steaming pile. The undisclosed price/PM system wad doomed to fail and Geddon should have known better.
Take it to ebay and suck up the fees. Stay out of our world and we'll stay out of yours.

You just kinda figure it out after awhile.
I know BigMoney Vegas ignores me since he stopped replying to my jabs, and doesn't show up like beetlejuice if *I* mention his name. His ignoring me means I won the war.
I know Supreme Retardo ignored me because, hes a retardocrybaby, and stopped replying to me making an ass of him. He said this forum uses swear words and we're all mean. Piss on him.
the other one is useless Gravis Zero's troll account that is probably actually banned on here. He's a tool. Who cares.

Post by: Black Tiger on February 06, 2012, 02:59:21 PM
COMPLETE copies have what matters...oh I don't know...THE GAME maybe??
That's true complete copies have the game. if you don't already own magical chase loose you should not be trying to buy the box. You should try to buy a complete one and unless your very lucky your going to pay $1700+
The idea behind the sale is for one of us to take one of our loose copy and make it complete. Loose copies go for $500-$800 while the complete copies go for $1700-$2000+.
I got called a moron here but its simple economics 101. The box is what drives the price from $500-$800+ to sometimes $2k+ is nothing but the cardboard box.
What sucks for all of us is were all so crazy about MC that the price got driven up to that point. About 10 years ago I passed on a sealed MC that was going for $600 because I thought it was a ripoff. Now I almost give my first born to get that copy for even 3x that amount. I really hate that this game goes for this much but that the market we live in these days.
Say what you want my point is you guys are blowing things out of proportion. Unless you guys start selling off you copies of MC at way below market prices the price will only go up more. So unless your volunteering to sell yours off for cheap you should get off your high horse. My bet is the loudest complainers are those who don't even own the game. If they did they would be happy their investment and value has increased and not try to do things to devalue their collection. If the complainers actually own a copy the sell it off at a what you think is a reasonable price as that the only way the market will go down. Supply / Demand.
I hate price gouging as much as the next so the best thing you can do is vote with you dollars and don't buy things that are grossly overpriced.
You are using custom logic to price a lone cardboard box, based on sales of every combination... except the lone box. If you're got links to regular complete sales of the lone box itself going for $1000+, then your point is valid. But even the figures you stated for the loose game and complete with manual aren't the average, you're only citing the very top end of asking prices which fail to sell more often than they actually do sell.
Unfortunately, too many people like you don't understand how the market works and are blind to low sales or non-sales, instead only focusing on top end sales and asking prices. You recommended voting with our dollars. That's exactly what people are doing each time a gouged item fails to sell and is more of sign of true market value than the rare rich/in-debt person who impulse buys an object simply to plug a whole in a "complete set" collection. If you want an up to date example, just look at this box which failed to sell $1250. If it was fair market value, even if a few people bitched about it, several people would have tried to snatch it up.

Yeah, I caught onto it when it was around 15 pages and it grew so f*cking fast it took me until it was 60 pages before I was current.
Basically, if you are familiar with NGF then you might want to go for it, if you aren't, then don't waste your time. It takes a encyclopedic level of NGF knowledge to even begin to grasp. It has AMAZING payoff though.

Back in the late 90's I was told to stay clear of NGF and for good reason. That thread is hands down the best thread in the history of the internet. NGF got what they deserved. I have a couple friends that were taken for a ride by them. TonK is the man. The best part is that there's still stuff in the works. As for this thread I laughed when it first started. I knew what it was going to become. I still am surprised that this guy selling the box is a friend of Tonk. Plus, last I check geddon_jt was a mod at Neo-Geo.com. I guess since he's not "scamming" it's ok to price gouge over here. I don't see that much of a difference between the two.

I will admit that I skipped half of the posts and probably read the rest a couple times to 'get it', but I got through it with little NG knowledge. Definitely a tiring read, but yes, the payoff was quite epic.

Just wow. However, someone did have a great point on about page 3 - why don't we make bootleg Hu Cards of US magical chase and drive the price down? I'm guessing the simplest way would be to get a bunch of cheap copies of Wonder Momo, write some eeeproms and somehow get the picture printed on the card (no idea how to do that though).

You could ask a moderator to look the crap up if you are that concerned. They should just make it public so you can find out who on the forum is a pussysandyvagjoeredifer.
Maybe you should ask a mod who it is....

No, someone incorrectly spelled his name either earlier in this thread, or in another thread in the last few days, and he still caught it. He must still religiously read the forums but just not post unless someone besmirches his good name. Why he isn't banned is beyond me. It must be for the comic relief.

You forgot:
Started thread about how people were gouging on eBay, which became very popular and useful, then was revealed to be a gigantic gouger himself and like a total lying pussy deleted said thread depriving the forum of valuable info in that thread including proof of his own dicketry.
Sold LE copy of Insanity sent directly to him by Arkhan for stupid price on eBay while copies were still avaible from Arkhan, essentially pulling a Ticketmaster on Arkham (ie: reaping profits when none are earned or deserved).
Continues to post here for no other reason than to say, "What?" and act like he never did any wrong in, apparently, an effort to repair his rep.
Worships money and profit above ethics honesty and morality, even by the standards of capitalist America.
Perhaps the worst of all: Unrepentantly plays 4:3 Turbo games on LCDs in 16:9 stretched mode.

Yeah, I made a thread called Gouging Much? one day over a guy selling a boxed Turbo for like $2500. Not just over inflated but unrealistic. I thought it was funny. I wasn't "revealed" like I was some eBay reseller in hiding, as your trying to make it sound. Besides, who needs proof of my dicketry, I clearly have stated what I've done several times and never tried to hide it.
Why did I delete alot of my posts? Alot of my posts were shit all over by people jumping into a swarm of anger. People stating things that weren't true and new ppl believing it and jumping on the bandwagon. Kinda like Jibbajaba there, taking stabs at me here and there (when I do actually post) even though he says it's hard to tell what happened.
Sold LE copy of Insanity sent directly to him by Arkhan for stupid price on eBay while copies were still avaible from Arkhan, essentially pulling a Ticketmaster on Arkham (ie: reaping profits when none are earned or deserved).
Yup, sold a signed copy of Ark's 1 of 20 limited release for a high price on eBay. I sold all of my games for high prices, never said I didn't. As for Ark's stock (Ticketmaster comment), when I listed it for sale, I had no idea he had any more for sale. I didn't call Ark and ask him what his current stock for sale was. NOONE knew he had any of those limited ones left until he saw I was selling it on eBay. He listed what he had left over on Ebay because he was pissed at me overpricing it and they flew off his shelves and were all sold out in less than a day. So noone knew he had them other than Ark, yet apparently I'm supposed to know what his current stock of a limited game he only made 20 of was. Uh no.
Worships money and profit above ethics honesty and morality, even by the standards of capitalist America.
That's sure stretching it.
1 Buys up games on eBay he wanted as a kid. 2 Finds PCEFX while searching the net. 3 Starts off first post here about Magical Chase. (forum oops) 4 Collected sealed games. (forum oops) 5 Made a WTB thread for games I was missing. 6 Wanted all my games complete with boxes. (forum oops to some) 7 Posts regularly and talks in shoutbox (when it was here) 8 Is referred to Digitpress.com to possibly find Magical Chase. 9 Buys Magical Chase (loose) on another forum for cheap ($225). 10 Posts thread on Digitpress once again asking for just the Magical Chase manual. 11 Guy who sold me the first MC offers me a second MC w/manual for cheap again, I buy it. ($275) 12 Don't need the first loosie MC so sell it on eBay for $400. (people go apeshit over it here) 13 Make a website with pics to show what different Turbo items, what pack-ins came with games, odds and ends, what came boxed, what didn't, what came with trays and what not. What complete boxed systems looked like. We even figured out there were 3 variations of Ys which noone had known before (thought it was helpful, some others did too however some loudmouths crapped all over the thread I made about it saying I was just showing off and it was worthless as a resourse) 14 Keep posting on the forums. 15 Buy up more games I need and complete my collection and update my turbo website. 16 Buy a complete turbo collection (in 1 auction) on eBay. It had been posted several times for a huge price and the guys poor english and wording made everyone stay away from it. I ended up getting all US huCards for $850. I swapped out all the manuals and Hucards with ones from my collection and only kept what was in the best condition. Then resold the worse set on eBay for a profit, improving the condition of my collection while flipping it for a profit. (forum members hated this as I made a profit and had 3 Magical Chases pass through my hands in months that were all resold but 1) 17 Collections done but odds and ends I pick up here and there. 18 Priorites changed and decided to buy a house. Market was low, interest rates were at an all time low. Decided for some fast easy cash, to sell my Turbo collection to settle loose ends to be able to buy a house. 19 Sell collection on mostly eBay, where most of it was bought, for high prices. (forum goes into an extreme rampage) Some items did sell to forum members, those people just don't mention it here ever. One Magical Chase was sold to a forum member, the 3 girls games noone can find was also, Bonk 3 CD and Bonk 3 Hu went to a member among many more. 20 Deleted threads (as people were so angry the truth didn't exist, just rage and all threads I made were shit all over.) 20 Mainly stop posting but still pop in once in awhile to see any new Turbo info. Read threads, occasionally see someone taking a stab at me and reply.
Thats what happened if you take out peoples attitudes and rants of calling me immoral, unethical and dishonest. Its rather funny Zeta. I didn't lie, I didn't cheat, I didn't steal, I didn't rip anyone off. I sold my stuff.
Me posting a reply to a comment about myself is just as predictable as when I do, Zeta, Ark and Vestcoat are sure to follow.

Roy can't hear me because hes a queef and put me on ignore.
but, he had a copy of the CD-R ones, hand made by me.
AND
the signed copy, which is the public-release one, with some silver scribbles from a sharpee.
and, a soundtrack. a CD-R one. I can make those all day, every day.
So basically he overcharged for some bullshit I made with a lightscribe drive, a silver marker, and some shit I printed at Kinkos.
Lets not leave out how he was worried I wouldn't even SELL him any. He whined about it to windy way back
then was like OH COOL BRO YOURE GONA SELL TO ME? COO. IM A COLLECTOR, I LOVE THIS STUFF. THX BRO
and lets not leave out that army-footage where he defended the actions of the army in that one video where they shoot the f*ck out of people from a chopper or whatever. That's a funny one to bring back up, because recently, there was a show with army people who were THERE, on foot, at the scene, also talking about how f*ckED UP IT WAS.
Roy was a firefighter or some shit in the army. He wasn't a real soldier. His opinion of the armed forces is for the f*ckin birds.
oh and he bragged in shoutbox about how he paid his ex-wife/gf/whatever to blow him because she needed money. Classy!
and lets not forget, he told me to come to Las Vegas to fight him, or something idiotic like that, cause him big tuff internetwarrior.
and he made fun of a bunch of forum members here, claiming they were jealous that he had games they didn't. This includes Nectarsis, who he pals around with. Two faced much? trolololo.
when shit hit the fan here, and on other forums, he deleted the thread showing his true-fail, to cover his tracks and save face on other forums. Courageous.
It's funny, "oh hurhruhr i had some turbo fests with my new friends" is basically destroyed by "oh , uhuhrr,I profiteered off a homebrew effort, because I am a big money baller like that"
and in the end, all he could say negatively about me was that I rollerskate, and implied that it makes me a fagler.
We will know if RoyVegas is just here to be a jackoff if I am suddenly ignored by one less member: Him.
He's all like

Um... The "limited" game was for the peeps here on pceenginefx. They were done by request. The only difference between that and the regular game was the limited ones were signed/numbered.
And, since the minimum press run was 500, he had (has) lots of copies left. And he still signs them, if you ask. Ask nicely, and he might sign it with a personalized message, too.
I don't think he was pissed about the e-bay resale, so much as the fact that you wanted a low-numbered, personalized version -with the intent- of e-baying it. Made it look like you took advantage of everyone here being nice guys, just to make a buck.

I take stabs at you because, although I wasn't here during your "hey day", you're obviously nothing more than a troll at this point who makes regular periodic returns to PCFX just to stir the shit pot a little bit and remind all of the old-timers why they hate you so much. It would be so easy to just say "f*ck those people" and walk away, but you can't because your immature little boy attitude won't allow you to.
You sold your Turbo collection long ago, so it's safe to say that you don't continue to read the forums here because you give a shit about Turbo games. The only possible motivation you could have for coming back here is to check and see if people are talking about you, and the only time you ever post is in response to that. Any sane, mentally healthy person wouldn't give a shit. But you do. What does that say about you?

Wrong, wrong and wrong. There were 20 copies he made on lightscribe discs that he took to a show that were numbered and signed that he wanted to sell at the show. Same game was on it, but it's not the same version he was selling to everyone else. He hadn't even had it pressed yet.
I didn't ask for any low number disc as you say, I didn't even ask for a numbered disc at all... I asked to buy ONE copy of the regular game and he offered me all of the different versions. I didn't go seeking them all out with the intention of reselling them. I asked for 1 regular copy, he offered me 5 or 6 different versions and I bought them. Theres a difference there.

As I've already said too, I can't go back and read all of the deets. You deleted them to save face elsewhere, like we've stated already.

You got a preorder copy (by preordering), a regular copy like everyone else, and a CCAG copy. All in the spirit of being an actual collector, which you are obviously not.
That's it. How could you get two signed preorder copies to sell at a later date? You only preordered one time. and how could you get two of the CDR'd CCAG copies?
and it still doesn't change the fact that you sold on ebay the Preorder Copy AND the CCAG (#/20) copy.
It's still hilarious that you even come here. You already stated multiple times that once you got your collection, you were outta here, and that you only exist here to stir the pot.
Do you think anyone here really gives a f*ck about YOUR opinion on your shit?
not really.
EDIT: It's also hilarious that you had 3 posts while I was out eating, including one to say "you lose"
That really helps your cause.
Noone gives a f*ck about you or what you think, and are probably doing something productive, unlike you, who is just sitting and watching this thread to go HUHUHUH I WIN.
Also, I don't need others. The last time there was a blowout, it was mostly just me against you, and I did pretty good there. I'm not the forum exile that everyone makes fun of for being a f*ckin toolbag.
There aren't running jokes about anything shitty I've done to the community either.
WHO LOSE? NOT ME.

Wrong! Both sold to Taibaut... Maybe they were up on eBay at one point, but they didn't sell there.
See my point, oh great and wise Ark, you have no damn clue what even happened. Yet here you sit, throwing out my name every once in a while. Angry and fuming over things, you don't even know. You sir, are brilliant.
C'mon Ark, ships sinking, better get to the low blows or just give up.

Once again, you're admitting what you say isn't fully accurate. WTG!
once again, you do not comprehend that you DELETED THE INFORMATION . Sue me. Some irrelevant details aren't consistent. Noone but you gives a f*ck.

First off, its THIBAUT. hurhruhrurh GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, BRO.
So you put them on ebay, the listings ended (via you ending them, not by a sale), and then you sold them to Thibaut. OK then. You sold them for >real worth, admitted to it repeatedly over the span of the blowout, and sure don't deny it here...
You just now reveal something like this (or maybe not, its hard to tell since you torched your history here), whereas every time in the past, when it was stated that you put them on ebay, you just went with it. It doesnt matter anyway, Thibaut likely saw the listings and contacted you, and you sold them. Who cares where you sold them. The point is that you did, for stupid prices.

Fuming over what. Prove me wrong. How much did you sell them for then? Again, what do the details of WHERE you sold these copies at really matter? You sold them for hiked up prices despite playing yourself off as a collector. You coulda sold them on f*cking Craigslist instead, who cares. You did it. Minor details like that in which NOONE will ever have straight, ever, because you deleted all posts about it, are irrelevant to the end result.
Duhrrrr.

Give up on what? You are only making yourself look worse here. You're currently being laughed at by the real community here. You will forever be Roy "BigMoney" Vegas, the biggest douche the forums ever had.
I'd put your crap as worse than Nintega, only because you screwed people over. All Nintega did was annoy people on end, like a wacko.
Quote

Didn't think I needed to record phone conversations with a PCE member in order to prove something at a later date.
Also, lets point out again, that you come back time and time again to "defend yourself" and go "hah I win", etc. You fall for the f*cking bait everytime. You do realize, this happens so the new members here can witness your stupid return, and see first hand just why we make fun of you, right? its like clockwork. New members arrive, ask what the big deal is, we mention your name, and like some Harry Potter bullshit, you show up and demonstrate, so they know why we don't like you.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. There were 20 copies he made on lightscribe discs that he took to a show that were numbered and signed that he wanted to sell at the show. Same game was on it, but it's not the same version he was selling to everyone else. He hadn't even had it pressed yet.
He made those the night before the show solely because the pressed versions hadn't shipped yet. Ask Rover about the problems with getting them pressed. BTW, they were the same version. Maybe you mean edition?
Quote
I didn't ask for any low number disc as you say, I didn't even ask for a numbered disc at all.
That's not what I remember. Too bad I deleted my AIM logs from that far back. I do remember that discussion clearly., though. I was very pissed at Arkhan for selling -my- #1 copy. He responded that someone was bugging him about getting the lowest # possible. So he gave me a #0 disc.
Quote
I didn't go seeking them all out with the intention of reselling them.
Maybe not. But...
Quote
5 or 6 different versions and I bought them. Theres a difference there.
...It sure looks like you were trying for a complete set, knowing it would fetch more $$. I doubt you even bothered to play the game. Can't sell them as 'new' if they've been played....

I hope the mods do love it, people are allowed to say as they wish, yet I'm not supposed to have a voice?
You're allowed to have a voice. This is not a public arena, however. That's why we have mods. (If it were a public area, you would not have to sign up for access). Even if it were, there are some things that are out of line. But if you want to tempt the mods just so you can whine about being unfairly banned, go ahead.
Quote
Are they really attempts to justify myself? I say what happened, it's the other people that inject a bunch of b/s into it.. I don't deny it, I've said it over and over. People just can't seem to keep on track with the facts, they're to busy being angry. Oh well.
Or your version of the facts, anyway. Funny how those keep changing...And of course, no one can go back and check what was said when because you deleted the posts. Someone who knows they are right doesn't need to keep trying to prove it Roy. Let it go.
Quote
you can't get your details right without going back and reading it all.. That makes anything you say credible.
More credible than someone who doesn't check their facts, anyway.

Yeah, and lets not even forget,
these are unsealed discs that I wrote on with a f*ckin marker.
We could make all kinds of stupid editions. It's mostly useless.
I have copy X here.
I sent the preorders out in the order they came in at, but from what I remember, Roy just had to have a lower ## than Windancer. There were only preorder #s to people who preordered and paid.
or something goony and useless.
Things you don't keep too much track of when you assume all the preorder people are legit and aren't going to do something stupid.
Really, Copy 0 is better than all the preorders since I wrote 0 down before I did the preorder batch. Computer programmers start counting from 0! :) There are really 31 copies in the 30 preorder set. Suckers. :3
Lesson learned in that regard. Even your most loyal "supporters" may turn out to be dicks.
Super Edit:
Duh, I can check PayPal
"This payment is for the 2 Signed copies of the CCAG exclusive discs you made. If you could sign them and put CCAG Exclusive Copy on the manual that would be great! Thanks!"
Guess Roy DID buy 2 of the CCAG discs. f*ck if I honestly keep track of who bought those worthless CD-R copies.
Note that he requested signatures. Now I know why. Seedy little dick.
"This is for the unsigned copy we discussed. Please ship it carefully with the other ones I have previously ordered from you. Thanks!"
Who f*ckin knows what copy this is. I am assuming this is the plain jane, Insanity public copy.
and then there is the Preorder Copy that came thru Paypal. just one.
So Roy got:
2 CCAG CD-R Specials, requested to be signed, for obvious reasons now. 1 Regular Copy 1 Preorder to be sold at a later date, complete with a light scribed CD-R soundtrack
Thats what I can see in PayPal.
And, the reason I offered these CCAG copies to Roy, is because he presented himself as a collector of PCE, complete with his site to show the library. Shame on me for falling for it. I thought he was about the preservation and collection of Turbob, and had learned from his dickheaded shit he pulled prevously.
I know if I were a collector, and someone offered CD-R copies that only existed in a small number, I'd gladly buy one and keep it forever.
Even Emerald Rocker didn't sell his CCAG copy. The reason HE has one, is because he wanted a cheaper copy than the real 30$ one, probably because he used an emulator and doesn't care about CD-R issues.

If noone cares, why are you posting still? Here you are posting detail after detail but other times saying details don't matter. Which is it? Do they matter or don't they? If noone want's to read it, hit ignore or don't read it. If you think I'll show up if you mention me. Then don't? Would seem common sense.

I think the true fact of it all is that Ark's supremely got a hard-on for me. He loves to hate me, hense bringing me up over and over thinking I'll eventually catch one and reply. Well, here I am Ark, apparently you missed me. Happy?

I don't think you'll show up. I *know* you will. SPECIFIC details in your regard don't matter. Much like this example
"The murderer shot and killed 6 people with a Beretta." when really, it wasn't a beretta.
STILL SHOT AND KILLED 6 PEOPLE.
lets translate this to your case
"The dipshit sold the games for idiotic prices on eBay and backstabbed a community" when really it wasn't on eBay.
If you still don't get this, you are dumb.

You are like Nintega. You are brought up as a joke. I thought you had me on ignore, so why in the f*ck would I think you'd catch a remark and reply, really? Plus I make fun of you on a shoutbox that you don't even visit and have no way to view. So, uh, duhr? You're just a shitty punchline.
You are generally brought up by people so that you inevitably arrive and show your true colors to the newbies.
Why do I have to keep repeating myself? I already said this shit like 48 times in this thread.

Yes, it was exactly the point I've been trying to get across for going on what like 5 hours now. The Clue-investigation details are not too important when the end results the same.
eBay / PMs. Beretta / Ruger.
Same. f*cking. Concept.
You'd get this by now if you weren't so busy not reading anything, and looking for which snippet of a quote you can most-readily make some stupid retort at.
What you refer to as childish, taunting, sniveling, bitching, is hilarious. POT MEET KETTLE.
We could go examine it all again. OH wait. We can't. You deleted it, because you're a pussy, and can't fess up to your fail.

You used and betrayed people to make money in a pitifully selfish act. But, in your defense, you haven't done anything millions of a$$holes do on and off eBay everyday. Welcome to the world we live in folks. :roll:
I don't pass judgement based off of other folks feelings and claims and I don't really know you, so until you try andf screw me over personally, I have nothing against you. Doubt anything you say can ever make you welcomed here again, however. You already torched the bridge... perhaps its time to move on dude.
