What is the going rate for Cotton, anyway?

~ $80 for the japanese version, you can switch the language to english and keep the voice acting. Unless you're a "serious" collector skip the domestic release.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-MIGHT-AND-MAGIC-III-3-Turbografx-16-CD-Turbo-Duo-Game-COMPLETE-US-/141014592453?autorefresh=true
Almost $300 with buy it now. Even better:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEYOND-SHADOWGATE-Turbografx-16-CD-Turbo-Duo-Game-COMPLETE-US-MINT-/130946090626?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1e7cfec682
Same Seller, $449.94 Gotta love these prices.




That's the guy that won this auction:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Duo-System-Turbo-Grafx-16-Collection-/271220012484?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3f25f8f5c4&nma=true&si=JusnbTZuukq3aPCLtyDRnsDnMdA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#ht_1394wt_1399

I sent him an offer on the Super Air Zonk he has listed. I offered $250.  He declined with a note of "LOL...Last one listed 2006, went for $646".  Which I found amusing since I sold one on eBay in Sept. 2010 for $240. I didn't bother responding back to it though.
All is well. :)

I don't understand resellers that lurk on eBay.  I wish I had the free time these guys have.  What an utterly stupid way to make minimal cash with maximum effort.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

Esadajr, is that an ultra-obscure reference to the MTV commercial for their short-lived show, "The Idiot Box"? The one where the clown was going to run over Alex Winter's head?

Yeah, those prices are ridiculous.  What's also really annoying is the bright neon green backdrop in every picture.   I guess it makes it easy to skip over his auctions whenever I see that bright green color.

But on the bright side, this douche is the front runner of the plcards award.

So I consider this a gouge.  The auction is for Godzilla (disc only);
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Godzilla-TurboGrafxCD-1993-Disc-Only-/130951372149

But low and behold the same seller has the case and manual for sale as well;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Godzilla-TurboGrafxCD-1993-Case-And-Art-Only-/130951372362

So this guy is splitting up a game with the hopes of getting more money for it.  Moron.

I don't think he even has the manual. It's just the back artwork.
Another douche trying to obtain a full Turbo collection.  119/146 so far.  Got a long way to go. Half way there. Hit the 100 mark. ich bein ein obeyer
