TurboGrafx-16 CES Display

I was just gonna post about that, I guess it's confirmed that the seller was indeed shill bidding the hell out of that.

Yeah, i was the second bidder and he sent me a second chance offer right away.  he said the winning bidder was in France and he refused to ship it there.  Yeah right

[oldskool]

I smell a bunch of bull shit.

[henrycsc]

so, do you guys think he has like 10 of these "one of a kind"  LOL
I thought it would have been steep at $200... I made an offer of $175 and it was declined immediately.  It's a neat item, but I would rather spend that kind of dough on something else.

[Arkhan]

I put up 400$ for it.  It would be a neat display thing to have some other Turbo/PCE stuff surround....

but hell If I am paying 1000$ for something I am just going to stare at.  There aren't even boobies!




It's a whole bunch of shenanigans.   Though, the France story might be true if Thibaut or someone over there won it.

[Thibaut]

I ask the seller before the end of the auction if he can send the parcel to France. He said yes. Then I win the auction, and now he wants to cancel it.
I am the first bidder, I pay the shipping costs, I pay all with Paypal and he wants to cancel the sell. I don´t understand.

[henrycsc]

That is a load Thibault.  If you confirmed with the seller that he was ok shipping outside the country, he should be required to honor that.  What's this world coming to?

Arkhan - Unlike a skin mag, it appears the pages are thick and able to take a splash.

That's why it is worth more than $400 without boobies.

I revised that for you

Too bad Valis 3  isn't included in that display. It's priceless.

Too bad, there was a brand new one of those still in box a few months ago that sold for $250 I think.  I was talking to the guy and said if he didnt get what he had the reserve set for (the $250) I'd give him $200 for it.  Im surprised this one went for so much since its used.

It's all in the timing.  I can tell you if I had seen that last one I would have picked it up in a heartbeat but I didn't even know it was there.  This auction seemed to have people talking about it and drew a lot of potential buyers.  It did go for alot more than I think it would originally, actually the second time it sold was more than I expected to also.  I was figuring it would go somewhere in the $600 range.

I wonder who got it the second time it sold.

Some desert-dwelling gun-nut, I 'spect.
