Has anyone managed to read this entire eBay description?

Once again this thread belongs in the "Gouging Thread".

but....that is the worst 3 "paragraphs" I have ever had the misfortune of reading. This gouger belongs in the "Gouging Hall of Shame".

this is another of his listings
it seems fair to good http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-TurboExpress-Black-Handheld-Turbografx-System-Games-/180962570805?pt=Video_Games&hash=item2a2235b235

Yeah I think this guy has a hard time writing/speaking english maybe,  Really been looking at his auctions this morning - seems like he's more or less honest maybe?, clearly basing all his pricing on e-bay.  then going like 50-60% less to try to get people bidding on it on some items.  But then his other items are a little crazy?  He has three new turbografx16 systems listed at 165.00 , 175.00 and 550.00. 

I'm starting to fall alsleep as well.

I never meant it to be a gouge discussion, it just turned into one.  The starting bid was $0.00 which I can't classify as a gouge.  All the gouge talk came afterwards. 

Sorry to make you read those paragraphs.

Didn't he set a Reserve price? He may as well just made it a BIN.

Folks, he has to repair his roof.

That's his story for selling TG-16 stuff now, anyway.

I tried to read it, and I kept getting Mr.Chow's voice in my head.

He did, but no one knows what it is yet.  We're guessing it's in the $300 range, but no one is certain.

I skipped over parts but it still gave me a headache. I'm still trying to figure out his definition of 'new'. . .

[esadajr]

bad engrish. This has to be a scam.

[turboswimbz]

I wasn't try to comment on the gouging or not, just that his stuff is all over the board and I can't tell what the hell he means in any of his listings???  He might be a bit crazy?  maybe his roof leak is over his bed and he's been water torturing himself?

[Flare65]

That guy's description is cryptic, at best.  It certainly reads like he's hiding something.
Flare, every time I see a post of yours, I want to see Cool World again.  Last time I saw it, it was newly released in the theaters.

Lol....I've never seen it!  I always wanted to as it was kinda like Roger rabbit and I loved that one.

Ok, back on topic....

I'm betting that the system doesn't work.  Too many unknowns as he is too afraid to touch the damn thing without gloves!

[esadajr]

I just placed a bid for $400.00 and that still does not meet the reserve price.

[turboswimbz]

$400 that sucks.  I guess he is charging per letter in his description . . . has anyone checked on FQ?  I wonder if he ever recovered from the boredom?

[esadajr]

Someone offered more than I and still the reserve hasn't been met
