Why would this Duo-R cost $1000? I thought I've read that they generally go for a couple hundred. Any ideas?

ceti_alpha posted this in another thread and I have no idea why anyone would think they could sell that for $1,000 bucks.

This thing has been for sale for months. Maybe even a year.

Some of the veteran members here might remember a thread about this from a long time ago. At the time I think we decided it must have been a typo. Seeing as how it's still up for sale, and still $1,000, I've changed my mind. This is definitely a case of your everyday scumbag seller.

That's nothing, check this out:

Step aside, Magical Chase, there's a new holy grail!

Hahahahaha, that's got to be a typo.

If you scroll down, you can see the game hasn't even been tested or verified to work! Priceless.

Holy crap! It's not even brand new, let alone come with the cardboard case! Usually people only charge ridiculous amounts of money for games like this if they are sealed. At least the shipping is reasonable.

I agree with nat and think it's a typo, probably meant to be $7.99.

Actually I think it's a dudette judging by her username "patricia". That would explain some things  .

I don't even think my amazing advertisment skills can save this one.

This sweet ass Duo-R is 96% new, so it's well worth the asking price.  I mean, hey, it's only 4% away from being brand spanking new.  What more can one ask for, other than an honest price?  This fine seller also has a 'free' game available.  Ahhh, ya gotta love those crazy HK sellers.

[nat]

When free is equivalent to $3.99 to you, it's no surprise a Duo suddenly is worth $1,000.

I guess....It just seems steep, but I guess if you reeeeally need to have your Duo-R to be close to new then I guess go for it. It just seems like a big leap from $150 to $250 to $1000.

If the currency was Hong Kong dollars instead of US Dollars it would be a lot more reasonable...

I guess.... it's called sarcasm.  Did you not read the sentence immediately following the two sentences quoted?

Hahaha!!! It's funny. I love sarcasm. I actually have to reign my sarcasm in a lot of the time, but sometimes on message boards like these I fail to grasp even the most obvious sarcasm of others.  hehe. Sorry Necromancer.  I guess that's why emoticons are so useful.
