Dumb Buyers

He started it out at 99 cents, so it's hard to say he's a gouger.  The buyer, on the other hand, self-gouged himself but good.

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.

Based on the ridiculous asking price, the eBay auction linked earlier was a steal! I know it's a free market and sellers can ask whatever they want, but come on...

I just bought Browning for 6$ on fleabay.

I'm so happy I can finally qualify for this thread.

It might be worth it. It provides $6 worth of musical entertainment. Plus, there is the game itself.

True, the music is pretty good and the tiny bit of what I'll call 'animation' to start was pretty good.

I looked through the manual before playing and I'm like "5 levels? I can beat this." I made it to level 2, and the control is such a shitstorm of non-responsiveness (and why is the gun SO SLOW?) I doubt I can ever get past it.

Still...6$. I'm always going to find it hard to pass on anything PC Engine for 6$ so long as it's not a digital comic/mah jong/rpg.

Whoa, someone bought a CIB Air Zonk for over $499 BIN, and then one sold for $479 BIN...huh ok so a air zonk box only is now worth $350 supposedly lol?

To be fair, that one was obviously due for a jump.  I started collecting TG16 CIB back in May and was happy to pay $250 for it.  I saw Jackie Chan / Darkwing Duck selling in the $450-$700 range and thought, wow how stupid is that.  They aren't even TG16 exclusives and the NES versions are much cheaper.

So then you take a game like Air Zonk that is a TG16 exclusive and routinely pops up in the "must buy" game discussions for the platform?  I was wondering why it was so cheap and now price is making more "sense", at least speaking relatively to other games in the library.

Why so bitter?  Seller started it at 0.99 and it sold for what it sold for.  You can hate the buyer for being overzealous but that's not the seller's fault.  More power to him if he got paid.

You do realize Darkwing Duck on TG-16 and NES share in name and Disney license only? They are not even close to the same game and were developed by different studios!

I knew they were different and thought I read that the NES version was "better", but I'm not familiar enough to argue it.  Either way, platform exclusive titles tend to pull higher prices than multi-platform ones, hence why Air Zonk being half price of DD or Jackie Chan didn't make a lot of sense.

There is a lot more that goes into prices than just console exclusives. By your logic Tricky Kick should be an "expensive" game or at least priced competitively with Air Zonk...

I told him that a couple months ago when he made the same ignorant claim, but apparently it didn't sink in.
