Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

I am pretty sure he already did that episode. The one he wants may be for a friend.

Well then it still works out pretty good that the PCE version is still much cheaper.

And much better IMO. I mean, I love how you can have English subtitles and have spoken Japanese in this version of that game.
Anyway, I dunno if this has been posted or not but this idiot still thinks he can sell a brand new turbo duo for $3500 and its "VGA graded"

Actually, Bucci needs it for himself.  He went to play it not too long ago, and the game disc had cracked.     I sent him an image of the game so he could rip some tunes from it.  He had basically already done the play-through for his review, just needed some tunes from the game.  I also suggested that he get the pc engine version, since it is literally the same game, but he actually wants to try and find a US release.  I dunno tho, with the price it is going for now, he may just settle for a pc engine one now.

Chris' disc broke not so long ago. From the collector/nostalgia stand point he would require a US version disc.

Well, from a collector/nostalgia standpoint, he can still hold the case, disc and manual in his hands and look them over. The novelty of playing the game can be remedied by popping in the PCE version.

It's becuase He's shipping it priorty mail internationaly, so even to Canada it's crazy, to the States it's a lot cheaper, but still way to high.

I know but i do have to pay that shipping fee if I want it.  Shipping to Canada kills the deals in 80% of the time.

Shipping from Canada to the USA is cheap. So i don't know why it is so high the other way around.

I shipped a game to Australia for less than 5$ and it is all the around the world.

There are cheaper options, the seller just isn't interested enough to do the homework to include them.

I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe some pro-sellers on eBay have expensive shipping to Canada for one of two reasons;

1) They don't want to ship to Canada and a high price to ship deters Canadians from bidding on their auctions.
2) eBay holds onto the $$$ until the item is received by the Buyer and provides zero protection to the Seller for item shipped into Canada.

International shipping is usually sky high because the cheaper options don't allow for any sort of tracking, meaning the seller is SOL if a buyer decides to f*ck 'em and say it never arrived.

This, this entirely.  Sent a game to Singapore this week.  $5.15 was my total cost first class, shipping it priority international was some $42 if I remember correctly.  And shipping it UPS was $75... I will always remember that one because the guy at the UPS store was fighting with me over shipping it first class as UPS was the superior shipping system and how dare I ship it USPS.  Even after I told him it was a $30 game he was still adamant that I ship it UPS and actually refused my sale.  Had to go to the other side of town to the post office despite the UPS store doing USPS shipments...

I would think he did that because they get money if you ship UPS but if you shipped USPS they're basically wasting their time helping you.  Money was the motivation, not who is actually provides superior shipping.

[turboswimbz]

As FQ said, I don't ship to canada, Becuase I can't be sure it arrives without shipping priority mail, as for some reason I can't get a shipping tracking number for most first class international packages, which means that if the seller brings a case against me I'm shit out of luck.  This also means that my Canadian buyers can't afford to have my items shipped.

I can't believe this.. since when did DE2 US go for $400+???  WTF?  it ended at $460!  That's basically Dynastic Hero territory!
