I hope nobody wanted this Might and Magic III

[bob]

So,
I didn't REALLY mean for this to happen...BUT MM3 was posted on Ebay today for something like a $350 BIN.
Ebay description:
It's late release in October of 1993 in the US saw to it that this release would be rather scarce.
Considering this game has been released on a handful of other platforms, this is pretty much a pure collector's piece.


As a sarcastic joke, I sent him this...

Dear onemansjunksanothermanstreasure,
HAHA!  "Scarcity" must be exploited. Im glad you listed this so high. Im not sure if you are familiar with turbografx clowns, but they will throw money at anything. Especially the late releases. You should put this for $500 and i bet you would get it.  The elite attitude is so aggravating.  Obviously, you have seen what these games go for, good luck!

THEN, I get this...

Dear galam,
I conferred with a friend of mine and he agreed with you... I have since raised my price! THANKS!

And he raised it to a $555 BIN.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I don't feel bad because if anybody was going to pay $350, they deserved this.

----------------------UPDATED---------------------
Apparently, the conversation continues:


Dear galam,
I already have 5 watchers

Dear onemansjunksanothermanstreasure,
the only thing that's going to hurt you is that you don't have real photos.  people don't like to drop $500 on a "stock" photo.
your description states no scratches, but wear to the manual/map and not being able to see it will deter people.

Dear galam,
I know I will probably post some pics later...
What I have going strong is not another one listed!
-onemansjunksanothermanstreasure


Dear onemansjunksanothermanstreasure,
I would get rid of the "stock" description too.  You need to put "RARE" in the title, this is how people search for these games.
Also call out..."Only One on Ebay" if you can fit it

Dear galam,
Ultra Rare

Dear onemansjunksanothermanstreasure,
You would be surprised...it's drives sales.  "Hard to Find", "CIC" (complete in case) "Mint" are all buzz words for these games.
You should also call out that it's a USA release and not the PC Engine version.  All the USA turbografx games have Japan counterparts which are generally cheaper since they made a lot more.  The only one that I heard is more scarce in Japan is Beyond Shadowgate.  If you ever see the PC Engine version, pick it up and list it immediately.

Drop the zero and I'll be right on it.

[MrFlutterPie]

What an idiot lol

Also who lists a game for $550 and doesn't take the time to take an actual pic of the game.

Even the collectards aren't going to drop that kind of cash without seeing the  real item lol.

[HailingTheThings]

Dick. Should have set the BIN to $66dix

such this. :3

[jtucci31]

Lol'd at that eBay username, Jesus Christ. This is hilarious. I've seen some crazy prices on turbo games on the bay recently. Someone wanted almost $200 for Blazing Lazers...what?

[nodtveidt]

This has me laughing out loud.

[MrFlutterPie]

I think the best ebay username was "Turbo's Hits" but due to ebay's formatting it became TurbosHits

[johnnymad]

The problem is if this item sells for this price, the next joker who finds one in his basement will list it for this price and that's where it will stay.

You should ask for a consulting commission of the final sale.

[johnnymad]

I think he's having a little too much fun with the seller. And yeah, you should totally get commission on the sale.

[MrBroadway]

Tell him he needs to get it VGA-graded, then he can sell it for $555666777.

[HailingTheThings]

Oh, you guys. :3

[NightWolve]

Wow. Good going, galam!

You really made eBay a better place, didn't ya, galam ?

Thanks, galam!

[MrBroadway]

He did kinda sorta apologize, a little bit, maybe, not really.
