Whelp, looks like Neutopia II is officially out of my price range.  Good thing I bought a TED over black friday.

Those buyers all have full blown AIDS. Not HIV but full blooown AIDS. I'm sorry I wish it was something less serious.

Consolidation auction?

"ADULT COLLECTOR-OWNED"?

The rarer version of Chase HQ?

What is all this nonsense?

[wildfruit]

Does this mean I shouldn't have raffled off the kunt fu? In 10 years time will it be worth as much as a house? Woe is me.

He probably had those items listed separately, worked out a deal with a buyer on all of them, and made a new BIN listing just for that buyer to keep everything within eBay rules.

The rest is BS.

[ChuChu Flamingo]

I always get a chuckle out of "Adult-collector" owned. It doesn't mean shit.

Four figures for a Soldier Blade with beat up manual? I think I paid $89 for mine last year. It didn't have manual, but still... Not like this one has the cardboard or plastic tray with it, or even a donor jewel case with repro label.

EDIT: Didn't read listing. Apparently there was more stuff in there...

[bob]

so this sold, for an offer i assume (HOPE!).
but that sound you probably heard was the collective orgasmic sigh of nintendoage.

You've got to be kidding me..
Boxes only??!! For that much??

[Black Tiger]

Is that like $100 per box?

[seieienbu]

31 boxes for $3500.  I wonder if the buyer didn't read the auction and assumed he was getting a bunch of games...?

[gex]

They all look to be in really good condition too. So it was probably an over the top collectard that justified the insane price tag.

I like cardboard as much as the next guy, it's cool having the original box. But I think it's safe to say that normal people would never pay this type of premium. It's precedented Ebay sales like this that are ruining even owning TG16 boxes. I've found a lot of my stuff wild, or gotten for free buying other stuff from sellers. But it's getting to the point where the cardboard for a game like Hero Tonma could land me a huge PCE trade. Like it's becoming "so valuable on eBay" I could trade with some crazed box collector and get all of his best PCE games, and run away like a bandit.
