FS: US Magical Chase Box + other boxes for trade

[Arkhan]

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.

lol, in PCE land, you're either with us, or you are dickshit!

[MotherGunner]

No links.  Seriously, the other guys here can corroborate it or correct me.  It's what I remember.

Either way I don't care...  I don't need convincing.

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.

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.

Yes.

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.

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.

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.

[drsreym]

figure the manual must be worth...  $400? 

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.   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.

[nectarsis]

Yes.

Nat paid like $165(ish) for a huey+manual not 2-3 years ago..FROM EBAY.  So you honestly think the box alone is worth so much more by itself?

Once Aetherbyte secures this hucard technology better,

I think we should make a community reprint of Magical Chase.
