Don't worry - I'm sure Gamestop with invent a new grading scale that will unify us all!

OHHHHHHH snap.  gamestopers U-night-ite.   Yo, let's go down to the mall and pick this shizzzzzzz up!
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

This is non turbo related (and this is the same guy who posted a $300 bonk 3 manual) but this is seriously lame:

I mean seriously, who does he think hes kidding? No one on their right mind would by that for $300 let alone $3 except maybe for their little kids and even then thats iffy.

Jackie Chan for 80.00?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jackie-Chans-Action-Kung-Fu-TurboGrafx-16-1992-/140844456120?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20cafbd8b8

Ys Book 1 & 2 for 2500.00

I REALLY REALLY HATE VGQ.  THEY PUT THIER OWN GRADE ON S*^T, NOT EVEN VGA, THEN MARK THE HELL UP OUT OF IT.  THEIR CLAIM TO BE ABLE TO GRADE, "WE'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS SINCE THE LATE 80's"  HMM MSOUNDS LIKE MOST OF US HERE, hell many of you are more qualified,  From what I've learned here we could have SeymoreOnion, or maybe bluebmw, make up some acrlyic cases and have sparky make some nice labels on freezer bags and start the PCENGINEFX grading scale. 


LMAO....breathe buddy.....breathe!

MC auction is not looking too good for you tggodfrey, bidding is stagnant, but there is bound to be a last hour surge.
Ending at 1am, kind of an off time which doesn't help his chances.

Yeah I think I lost this round!

Damn close, winning bid $3,206.99

Knowing very well it was just the box, here is my exchange...

Dear egamers_store7574,
Wait, this is just for the box???


Response:
Yep, the last box sold for $300 without documents and without original styrofoam, and the one before that sold for over $500 with original sytrofoam but with out documents.  Yes those were only boxes for the systems, as they are much more rare and collectible than the systems themselves.- egamers_store7574

My Response to this:
"more rare and collectible than the systems themselves."

Really?  If I put a turbo cd in the box, what will happen?
Since I keep my eye on turbo auctions every once in a while, I recently saw some dolt actually pay $45+ for a Turbo CD power supply only.  I thougt the person asking that much was crazy, but I guess there's a match for everybody.  This stuff must be getting really hard to come by.


(this seller is the one who sold the power supply with a starting bid of $45)

Cotton just sold for $230. Didn't realize it was fetching so much now. Not exactly "gouging" I guess since it had multiple bids to get there, but, wow.

I've had a few email exchanges with this guy through my regular mail account.  He absolutely refuses to ship to Canada.  Something about PayPal won't cover the Seller if the item is lost.  Last time I checked, PayPal never covered an item that was lost so I don't know what the hell he is talking about.

$230 for Cotton is dumb.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.
