nah, he is just telling you that there is no need to point out who the gougers are. It's already obvious that gouging is a very popular activity these days. It doesnt matter if its one guy with one account or some other guy that has 10 different accounts.

There is no conspiracy mate. No point in making lists. Unless you really have some free time, then go ahead, make the list.

Let us see it.

Yea I reallydont see the point in making one. If you come across someone selling Bonks Adventure for $100 and then you see other people selling them for $15 its just common sense to figure out who the gouger is.

You too can buy some "labels" for only $45!

He's down to $30 now - makes ya wonder if he's from this forum.

$30 for a manual  (with FREE added damage!!)  :roll: [-(

That's not as ridiculous as the $300 Bonk 3 manual, but it's still frickin' stupid.

check out this amazing deal!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keith-Courage-Alpha-Zones-TurboGrafx-16-Kiosk-Version-Store-9209-/220952075566?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3371c51d2e



So, if I print out a generic label with an address, slap it onto a Keith Courage Hucard and then scribble something using a sharpie on the back... I can get $260?

My offer for that item would be $2.

It's amazing how these sellers take advantage of Turbo's great collectability and it's great fan base. I mean they dedicate their lives to research and finding rare items etc. The crazy part is, many of them don't even care about these items and are probably surprised that they are selling cardboard boxes and pieces of plastic for hundreds and  thousands. Just a very cold way of looking at it I guess.

It's sad that our love for the NEC consoles and games is used into making random people rich.
