LOL, oops. That is crazy. Now I really wanna know who these crazies are.

Shills or nutty guys that'll pay $275ish for a cardboard box.  I vote for the former.

Even this will come down some.  I remember last year there was a really nice Shockman (not sealed) that went for 220+ in the box, which was nuts but even by current ebay standards that was way high.

This was just the case of two wacko's viewing losing the auction as a shot at their pride I think, or as mentioned earlier driving up the price, like somebody is sitting on 12 boxed Sinistron's and they wanna put one out every two months something dumb like that.

I've seen Psychosis go for under $40.  Cyber-Core at $26 is pretty good if it's in box.

The thing is, shilling up an item does you no good if there isn't a serious bidder at the top. Otherwise, you are stuck with the sellers fees for an item you didn't actually sell. (Yes, there is a work-around).

It does plenty of good as 'proof' of what a game is supposedly worth when it is relisted.

Exactly... That free market has its flaws eh? :P

Haha, 3.0 system case and insert... but a 2.0 card

Wonder if hes really ignorant to that fact, or is this just another attempt by an ebay Turbo seller to rip ignorant buyers off?

99.9% positive feedback with 11,000+ so I'd guess it's an honest mistake and that he just doesn't know.

I can't believe Ys Books I & II + Ys Book III just sold for nearly $100  :cry:  ](*,)
That sold?!  It's been relisted over 6 times!  What a waste of money.  Good games, but that's too much $$$.

Quoting myself.  The Seller has not modified the listing title.  How do I report this?  I don't see the proper field in any of the drop down lists.

Quoting yourself is the first sign of madness.

see where the "Description" and "shipping and payments" tabs are below the top image of the card?  Follow over to the right, and you should see a link to report.

I've sent him a polite message too.

This store is about 15 minutes from my house. I've only been there once, probably 2-3 years ago. They were primarily old vinyl, comics, etc.
