With the US version of Exile: Wicked Phenomenom in there which sells for $80-100 bucks by itself, that surely was a steal.

Almost as much as Nemo's SuperGrafx that i regret passing up!

Kudo's to anyone here that picked it up.

That'd be me! I had to scoop up a supergrafx for that. I also snagged sparky's loosey goosy DaiMakaimura INSTANTLY. I know a deal when I see one.

Somebody got a sweet deal.  Gratz if it was someone here!

Sooner or later I'm gonna have to read through the pc engine software bible to figure out which PCE games I can play... I want to avoid the ones that can't be played easily without knowing Japanese... but I know there are some pretty awesome ones that are playable and never made it over to the US.  (drac-x being one of my favs that instantly comes to mind.)

What a bargain!  I would've loved to get that, just so I could resell it all with BINs at three to five times the going rate.  :twisted:

So I can fix it and resell it all with BINs at 0.9 to 1.1 times the going rate.  :wink:

Hang in there little buddy.  Another 188 posts and Kattare might cut you a deal on a piece of his PCE stash!

Be that as it may, there's a big difference between a person being rude/unfriendly and a person that's actively attempting to screw others.  Intimating that kattare is an innocent pariah is just foolish.

Besides, do you honestly expect us to hold our tongues when a person does something shitty?  You started the thread where kattare was dragged over the coals, so unless you only approve of mocking others when there's little chance that they'll hear, it's quite hypocritical of you to whine over kattare being called out.

You're right there is a difference between the two.  Where there isn't a difference is that just like overpricing, bad attitudes can also be detrimental to the community.  I never said they were the same, I said they were both detrimental. 

Intimating that kattare is an innocent pariah is just foolish.

Noone claimed he was innocent, he clearly stated his intentions.  My analogy with the puppy was poor (as puppies would be considered innocent I guess).  My intention was to insinuate that some people just enjoy conflict on here.  I never shy away from conflict myself, but I tend to do it more defensively then offensively.

Besides, do you honestly expect us to hold our tongues when a person does something shitty?  You started the thread where kattare was dragged over the coals, so unless you only approve of mocking others when there's little chance that they'll hear, it's quite hypocritical of you to whine over kattare being called out.
Of course I don't expect you to hold your tongue.  It's your right to voice your opinion, that's what forums are for right?  There is however a difference between having a civil discussion, voicing your opinion and turning things into a pissing match.  Examples are in your heartfelt and caring reply that says I'm whining, hypocritical and my statements are foolish.

As far as me starting the thread?  That guy was charging more than 10 times the going rate.  Kattare may have been over pricing sure but I wouldn't group him with the guy I started the thread over.
