TG 16 system w/100 games on eBay
« on: November 05, 2008, 05:29:17 AM »
I've seen some systems with games, but I haven't seen one like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbo-Grafx-System-Over-100-Games-Turbografx-MORE_W0QQitemZ360104593453QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item360104593453&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

A little too high for my budget and it doesn't come with the TG16 CD. Great game selection though.

Even with free shipping, that's way overpriced, considering there's only a few legitimately rare/pricey titles in the bunch.  I hope this clown likes paying listing fees for fun, 'cause I doubt he's gonna get any bidders.

I never bothered clicking that link until today, because I figured that how every many hundreds of dollars it was, it was likely overpriced. When I saw the price in the thousands, I checked the list for Magical Chase, then Dynastic Hero, then Bonk 3's... and none of them are included.

I remember the good ole days when the concept of a lot was to offer the buyer a discount to convince them to buy a  bunch of stuff at once, instead of specifically what they were looking for. Today most lots I see ask for a huge premium.

But there's Beyond Shadowgate, Cotton, Dungeon Explorer II, and Might & Magic III!  Dammit, you know it's a steal at that price!  :lol:

 :-"  Um.. You guys failed to mention there is a Best Offer option, it's not a buy it now only. That means it can sell for less than that amount. I mean come on it's 110 games, you don't see that too many places. Also some of those games are quite expensive and new collectors may not be able to afford them right off the start or if they can, may want to choose the one they want if spending that much. I think Magical Chase complete or sealed would go for close to $500, maybe $1000 alone. I see the seller relisted it and added 12 more games also.

Erase your message and repost?? P.S. I can do that to ;)
Magical chase for $500 is crazy, but $1000 would be beyond laughable


Hmmmmmm the seller trying to pimp perhaps??

STILL nowhere near worth that...besides it does have a best offer, but ya think
they'll bite for like $1000 less??   :lol: :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

I always like it when sellers come on here incognito to promote their own shit, defend their price reasons, and toss absurd going rate predictions out there in the hopes they will sucker someone into that. Self created market price hype bull shit scum buckets. I'll laugh hard at the fool who pays a grand for Magical Chase, very very hard I will.

So just who are you cool guys? You aren't selling anything, and you aren't buying anything, so why are you worried about this auction? Apparently games are much cheaper and easier to find where you live, so tell you what, let me give you a list of all the common games like magical chase and you sell them to me for a few $$ each, i will buy all the ones i dont have, all of them. I will pay the prices you say they are worth though, a little bit of nothing. And i want complete games and boxes and all pack ins, no extra price for those. Of course i wont be allowed to buy any of those off you, you are all just full of yourselves, you either dont have any of these games or have no money for anything, so you come on here to say someone elses stuff is priced too high, maybe then they will sell to you for $5 each so your mommy can give you enough allowance to buy them. I never saw so many babies cry in one forum before or act like bad asses when they dont have anything to offer anyone. So put or shut up girls, either fork over all the games i want for dirt or shut the hell up and talk about your own collections or lack thereof, in the meanwhile i will run to the bank to get $20 to buy the ones guys 131 game collection of all super ultra rares that he gave away for no money, i hope he can deal me that good.

Exactly, it's 110 games. The reason you don't see this too many places is because most sellers refuse to sell such a large lot at the severely reduced price that it takes to move something that no collector needs and a reseller would have to recoup enough profit on.

And Magical Chase, whatever it's really worth, isn't even included.

Ok I rarely do this here, but piss off Mr 2 posts trying to act all bad ass.  I personally have a collection at 200 games, 2 much better setups console wise.  I have a lot of games rarer than most in that auction (MANY with boxes).  Oh and btw, my collection is meager compared to  many on here.  So take your "knowledgeable" high and mighty BS elsewhere.  Good way to "join" a community, and then proceed to act like a douche.

This is the reason why places like eBay are flooded with overpriced TG-16 games that never sell. Because people like you try to manipulate the market by buying up all the reasonably priced auctions and then turn around and list them for several times what the average price for them is.

But we see the same rotting Turbo auctions on eBay for weeks, months, even years... that never sell. That's proof that they're overpriced. There was one auction similar to this that sold for a Best Offer price, only for the buyer to relist the games individually for much more than people pay for them. All that happened was the games changed hands from one prospector to another. No Turbo fans or "collector's" bit.

We actually do know where and how to obtain these games for "a little bit of nothing", most people who are actually part of the Turbo community do. This isn't about making money for us, most of us here have a genuine interest in the games themselves.

I actually did buy Magical Chase NEW! and Sealed! locally for $5. I'm keeping it though, because I actually play it. However, if you'd like to put up or shut up, then you can turn your "Best Offer" listing into a Buy-It-Now at the same price, if it's fair (why else would it be set as such?), and prove so by actually selling it.
