Bonk 3 CD edition is worth some coin by itself so the whole bundle doesn't look too bad IMO.

You know these are reproductions, right?

Where are you getting bootleg collector pricing from?

[Keith Courage]

the pricing on that is kind of crazy. I saw when that seller had listed it and it didn't appear as if he or she was trying to make a lot of money off of that. The auction started at $50.

This thread!

From reading some of Stardust4ever's post's, he seems to be a very big fan of bootlegs/repros.  So I could see him thinking $300 for 4 bootleg cds being a good deal.

I wasn't aware they were bootlegs. I just made a cursory glance at the auction and noticed that there were a couple games that were pretty desirable. I did not read the fine print, or do a pricecharting search either. I also do not collect for CD systems. The prices the Duos and CDROM add-ons go for is also ludicrus IMO.

Yes, I bought four repros (Magical Chase, Coryoon, Bonk 3, Neutopia I + II)  and a homebrew from turbokon, so sue me already.

And again, I didn't realise they were repros because I didn't examine the auction. Whomever won those got boned pretty hard...

Some sellers who just glom this shit up because $$$$ are starting to not be able to be blamed anymore.

the buyers with no brains or self control are the ones enabling this shitshow anymore.

Everyone's gotta have their shelf candy, and they needed it yesterday.

So, now everyone goes Huerdhdprpry SWIPIN MY VISA AT THE PAYPALS, and buy shit to show off online.

It's hilarious.

and sad.

very sad.

I like when they have denial after you tell them they're a giant bag of dicks for paying 80$ for a loose copy of Bonk.

Would have been funnier if the shrink-wrapped copy sold for less. I have seen that happen before...

[esteban]

Wait... f*ckING PIECE OF SHITE TURRICAN is going for that much (boxed...I'm not talking "sealed")...

[Black Tiger]

Probably helps if you advertise your sealed game auctions on nintendoage.

I didn't click the link when I saw it in his post because I'm not interested in sealed games.  But really, I would think that a forum with a 400 page thread about how price gouging sucks would be the wrong place to advertise a $560 game.

[Necromancer]

It's crazy what some goobers will pay for sealed games, especially for Turbobs that don't use anything special and aren't hard to reseal (not that this one is a suspected reseal, just that it's easy to do in general).

[seieienbu]

The thing I'm most amazed by is how normal garbage like this has become that the guy who posted it didn't even get called out in the "Gauging Much" thread.
