Beyond Shadowgate - how much is it worth?

[wilykat]

Worth nothing.  Some years ago one local Big Lot store had a batch of NOS games out.  99 cents each.  I cleaned out everything they had on TG-16 stuff and still sitting on oh about 40 cases of Beyond Shadowgate.  Each case holds a dozen I think.

Not CD-R but same ballpark.  I was a huge Turbo fan and used to have a decent collection but a trip to Japan about 8 years ago convinced me all the systems and games I had weren't worth as much as I thought.  It was so plentiful up there.  Dracula X was like 2000 yen used and had multiple copies.  There were stacks of used Pc-engine Super CD systems.  So when my DUO conked out and I didn't know you could repair it, I started selling the games that had remakes.  (For example Dracula X came out on PSP). Games like Beyond Shadowgate, I held onto until I knew I could play it again.

Jokes, brought to you by the dick of DoxPhile, you know who you are

Hmmm, another one of the "What's it worth?" threads. There should be some kind of rule that you can't post in the sales section without first posting 50 posts elsewhere first. Might help weed this annoyance out.

How much is my copy of Gunboat worth? it's loose and might not be completely white, but it's been sitting at the bottom of a box in a stinky gym sock making it a one of a kind copy! It's R@R3Z!

Well he became a friend bc he found me through Craigslist.  I already sold him a bunch on stuff for fair prices.  I enjoy living vicariously through him as he devotes a huge part of life to going out and collecting these things. 

You set your sights high!

Something like that might be a good way to scare them of... 
can accounts be locked from creating topics in the buy/sell thread
until user have enough posts :

i think i remember seeing something like that on some forums..

Did he ask for a picture of you charging a JO crystal by any chance?

You know... I have kind of taken the JO crystal thing and run with it. But ot was HailingTheThings who introduced us to the JO crystal phenomenon, and Galam who associated it with DoxPhile.

Let us take a moment to appreciate the HTT/Galam power couple for bringing this joy to our lives.

If I wouldn't have posted the og cl ad, I'm sure someone else would have eventually. hehe

It doesn't matter if a minimum post count for various sections is added to the rules, since new members never read them.

Too many people make their first post in one of the trade sections with comments like "Hey homos! Anyone kno where I can buy cheep Jap games or download free isos!!!!??"

Most raffles are spammed by new members who can't be bothered to even read the few sentences in the opening post which detail minimum post counts to enter. When told they don't qualify, many act offended and/or state their intention to sidestep the technicality by padding their post count, because of "all the raffles".

[T2KFreeker]

Yeah, I know all of this too. It's why I stopped with the raffles. I got tired of wading through all the junk. I understand enthusiasm for your, ahem, hobby and allo, but I'd rather the stuff go to long standing members of the community. That's where the heart and soul of any forum and group lies...it is what it is, I suppose. I may have a raffle or two coming here soon though. Only time and circumstance will tell.

Next Beyond Shadowgate raffle I am jumping into though. I miss the game...

I go to Gamedude quite often. The only time I have ever seen a Beyond Shadowgate there was when I worked there over 20 years ago. Just saying. They are only an hour from me, so yeah. Just funny how about 10 years ago, Gamedude was the scourge of the Retro Gaming world due to the silver stickers on the games and the overpricing. Now, because prices are so out of control on evilBay, they are so cool because they are so far below "Markeyt Value"....

Gamedude is cool. If you think the price lists are neat, you really need to see the store. Easily the most awesome game store in Southern California.

He missed my favorite:  Post buy/sell stuff in PC-FX section.

I'll give him bonus points for using four different IP addresses thus far.

All I can find on craigslist is women who want my email to send spam to.

Cool lucky you get all the ladies! This is the new reason to on craigslist!

[in99flames]

Beyond shadowgate huh....does it come with smegma? That is a guaranteed sale if so.

The difference between ebay and "buddy buddy" prices these days is very small. Go to ebay, look up how much these are selling for at highest price. Then list it BUYITNOW for like $1 less of that price. You are not required to sell your games for cheap prices.
