Sweet, brand new games....interesting, It matches the current stock at TZD EXACTLY, game for game.
Someone give this dude a curby.
Buying up TZD stock and burning out one of our last/best resources for the Turbo community to be sold on ebay.....

I wouldn't be too worried yet, it would take a lot of money to clean TZD out and it looks like the seller purchased them slowly because he has both Loom (which sold out a year ago) and Legendary Axe (which they made available perhaps two months ago).

That's happening all over eBay. I've noticed the same phenomenon with Saturn games. Owners of eBay stores are the most frequent bidders on "normal" auctions, which they then turn around and try to resell at a 50-100% markup with BIN. Seems like the majority of game listings are by eBay stores now rather than individuals selling off their games.

Yeah ebay just raised prices on ebay stores, but I think they need to do it again since it's too cheap for those a$$holes to just let overpriced stuff sit for months and months.

They know that they can get away with it because most stores have decided to stop Retro Gaming, which sucks ass. I am tired of the overpriced games anymore. It just makes me mad.

Considering TZD's prices (ie: not low by any means) and notoriety, I really don't think its possible to buy out thier inventory and sell it on eBay for a profit. If this is what this guy is trying to do, he's sure to lose money.

Also, TZD has had the same dwindling selection for like...twelve years or something, so if you missed something you sure had your chance. I don't know of any store anywhere that has had the same game on the same shelf for that long.

...OK, maybe NCS's stock of Slime World for MD, but that's it.

I talked with TZD and they said that one guy bought every game selction in quantities of 2.

Sounds like a "Collector" with a capital "C": one game to keep sealed and and one to open and play.
