i was just browsing the FX pages on ebay and i feel it necessary to give you all a little heads up on something. now, i am not one to make a lot of noise about ebay because there are lots of deals there and lots of good people on there trying to get as much as they can- either in the form of money or bargains. but, i just saw something that is just too much for me. there is a seller on there now called cschena who looks as though he/she runs a clean operation. the stuff looks great and there is a guarantee involved with all of their purchases. but those prices are beyond outrageous, and it's not just this seller. japan all-stars - despite the occasional bargain - is a little overpriced also. it OK to buy fro mthese people if you are impatient or desperate to get that game you want/need but i think that with a litle patience, you will save a lot of money. i mean, i just saw BATTLE HEAT for $43 which is insane. Angelique Special for $38 and Team Innocent for $48 is bad. it's bad for this community and it's bad for the FX scene. these games are generally at or under $15. i bought two copies of angelique the other day for $3 each. Graduation II is listed at $42! i've seen it going for $5 for a long time. granted: it's here in japan. but for those of you tempted or who just don't know a lot about what constitutes fair-pricing, my heavens, this is not it and don't think for a moment it's worth it.
it's not everybody!
let me say again -and more clearly- that these are probably 'honest' sellers. their stuff is legit but i know what it's like to try and fill out a collection and assume ebay is indicative of a fair price at times. beware my friends...there be sharks in the FX tank. there, i've said my piece.
