What Did You Pay?

[BlueBMW]

Ive sold a few games recently to forum peeps.  Though my prices were probably too low.  If I remember right this is what I sold and how much I sold em for.

Cotton (US) $150
Beyond Shadowgate $150
Godzilla (US) $80

This thread reminds me...

What was the story again, about that guy who sold his Magical Chase to someone on this forum, for a cheaper than ebay price, and that person then months later sold it on ebay for profit?

I recall a lot of mess about that. and laughter.

I forgot about that... This was years ago, before 2010, I'm pretty sure.

Those are great prices, and honestly if it's to forum peeps that all good as long as people don't resell them on ebay.  I hate when that happens and have seen it A LOT on the Neo boards.

Im pretty certain the Beyond Shadowgate wont be resold.  I cant remember who I sold the other two to... So who knows on them.  Ive got the pc engine versions of the other two and usually if I want to play Cotton Ill play it on the x68000 (though it is a little different)  I think the PC engine version of Godzilla is more playable.  US version seemed to have difficulty balance issues.

I don't have this game, but I recall Necro mentioning something about a trivia game (in-between rounds)? that was broken/missing in the North American version....or something like that.

It's all very vague...

Without the missing trivia game it's hopeless trying to unlock all of the (like 30?) different playable variants of Godzilla from every film.

Not so long ago at all. This summary glosses over many of the details:

Roy showed up and shoveled out the money for an entire U.S. collection in a very short amount of time.
He asks "where can I find Magical Chase?"  Someone refers him to Digitpress.  A couple weeks later we hear "hooray!  I bought TWO copies from a dude on digitpress for $200 (+/-) each!  Thanks guys!"
Shortly thereafter, he lists one on ebay BIN for $450.
Then the hypocrite starts the infamous "gouging much" thread so he can bitch about similar parasites who double their money.
Then he starts a thread called "TurboGrafx Collectors' Reference" or somesuch. It's nothing but bragging pictures of his collection, but enough to make him believe he's providing a community service (a belief not even he held too strongly, as he deleted it as soon as he cashed out and sold everything).
So he sells his collection and the other MC for even more, attempts to profit on another man's work reselling Insanity, and deletes the 30-page "gouging much" to cover his tracks when the evidence against him becomes overwhelming.

Since then he hangs around to bask in his infamy and pretend he's still interested in the system he doesn't own. Nat dares him to leave, he dares Nat to ban him, and nothing happens.  It is my hope that someday RV and Professorson will attempt a craigslist transaction, at which point the universe will implode and there will be only darkness...and peace.

For the next year and a half or so after saying he had left the forum and asking to have his account deleted, he continued to pop in with trolling posts, often posting the same photo of himself posing in front of a TV displaying Magical Chase, with a grin on his face and either two middle fingers ot thumbs up (same difference). Just to make sure that no one confused his intentions. Even after his born again PCE experience and newly reformed identity, he still reposted that photo once or twice that I've seen.

Wow. WTF? Okay, I didn't know just how bad RoyVegas really was/is. Now that I have the whole picture, I know to steer clear. Anyone have his current ebay id, saw a it a while back, but have since forgotten. Want to make sure I don't buy anything from him.

I bought your copy of Cotton, no intention of reselling it.

[Elder]

That's good info to know.  I'll be sure not to buy stuff off that user.

Personally everything I bought on these forums will stay in my collection.  I'm honored people even gave me such good deals.

Sweet!    But really its yours so do with it as you please.  If it comes time to sell it just do like I did and offer it to these forum peeps.

Wow, I remember the Gouging Much ebay thread, I had no idea about the drama surrounding it. I haven't been a regular here, I just remember coming back months later and seeing the new ebay thread (RIP gouging much).

That POS was exactly what the thread itself was about.

JajjajJajjajjaja!


ALSO, I never thought if this before, but was "2x4" the moniker RoyVegas used at magicengine forums? Obviously, I don't even know if he had an account there, I'm just remembering that 2x4 used the Splatterhouse avatar.

Time to change avatar.
