« on: April 22, 2014, 04:39:39 PM »
so this seller seems to have all the titles everyone is missing (bonk 3 cd and terraforming) but man the prices are crazy high, i tried out the best offer on terraforming just to see what he came back with.....i threw up $450 for the first offer and he said $950 so i just declined as its obvious he's trying to milk someone and its not gonna be me. so heres the link and wanted to know if anyone here knew who it was..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bonk-3-Bonks-Big-Adventure-TurboGrafx-CD-1993-/111333626250?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item19ec00518a

$2000 for two games?? I love both of those titles but holy hell! I want the rare games as much as the next dude/dudette, but for the prices these games are going for nowadays.... I'll have to pass. I'm definitely going to look into getting an everdrive to play these rare titles on my system.

You might have some difficulty playing CD titles on an everdrive...
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.

Same seller is asking $300 for Flash Hiders, which is a easy to find $15 game.  Gouging to the extreme.

He's describing that as MIB/complete but looks like it's missing the spine card.
Does that make it in-complete?

I know that guy from other sites - he has been around since the 90's on the innernets, but not as a seller.

He might be having some need for cash right now, but those prices are banayonaise...  (aside from DE II).

LOL! $300 Flash Hiders  $4 off Rakuten.  What's sad is the people actually spending the money, only to just gouge it for more down the road.

CD burners work well for that problem.

How about $150 for Space Harrier II?

I haven't really had the time to research everdrives yet, but thanks for the heads up!  :D

I know these are hard to come by for the TG16, however, this seller is going overboard with the prices.
