asemasterautotechnician should be boycotted by PCEFX!
« on: September 10, 2013, 04:05:53 PM »
http://www.ebay.com/sch/asemasterautotechnician/m.html?item=190896150905&pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2c724c1979&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

I'm sure most of us know of this guy and see his listings on Ebay. For those of you who don't know he guts PCE games for their cases. He then sells them for the same price as a complete game with just the loose game and manual. Then re uses them for Turbo game cases with custom labels and sells the cases for $15 alone!!

I'm sick of seeing this, complete PCE games shouldn't be harvested for their cases! There are alternatives many here have demonstrated to make nice custom cases for your loosies!

It's really not anything new.  People around here have been stripping common games of their cases for a long time to use em as replacement cases.  Did you really think those Sparky labels were just going on original cases to replace old labels?
All is well. :)

Look through his listings though, Its not like hes doing this to like tv sporfs football or some peach boy mahjong game it's good p e games. Then the whole double dipping on selling the case and games separately for gouged prices is just not cool at all.

I call for the Punkiccyborg save our PCE games telle-thon fundraiser!

I can see it now:
cue cheezy ripple fade in and upbeat music
 - - Every year too many PCE games have been stripped of there homes and sentenced to a life in a generic CD, case, or baseball sleeve, for nothing more than profit.   These games must be saved for the greater humanity.  Do you want your children to see a world without a physical copy of hatris to keep thier minds growing.  NO I say NO we can't stand for this.  and this folks is why we need your support, you generous donations will help many losse hueys find thier way back to there orginal casing homes.

 music
 :-"OH! dont mess with our PCE games :-"

fades back to the pce forum

 :D
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Yeah I am suprised anyone actually buys from him.  Prices for just a case are downright nuts.  I admit some of the custom labels are a neat idea, not that they would be difficult or that I would own one.
Games currently in play:
PS3: COD Ghosts
TG16: Boxyboy

14.99 is too much for a case.  I'd be a buyer around three dollars, but thats me
