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

[johnnykonami]

I owned Cotton years ago, traded it away for something else (I don't remember what) and it saddens me to see its worth now.  I don't really regret my decision as I wasn't a big fan of the game (hence why I traded it), but even if I still owned it today I probably wouldn't sell it now.  Maybe I would trade it for some other hard to get Turbo/PCE games.

Is this the same one which has been posted many times here or is someone using that old rotting unsold listing as a sign that the manual is priceless?

I have no idea if someone posted it before.. I was just looking around and saw it.. Actually, now that I think about it.. It might have been myself that posted this manual ridiculousness before..... i just get so upset when I see it...

Different toolbag.  This one's a $150 CD version, the one that's been up since the beginning of time is a huey version for $300, and there's a third up for $175 (huey).  Rarez!!!!

I keep sending PM's to ebay sellers that simply say..."you're silly"

[bob]

not so much a "gouge" based on the # of bids.  but more stupidity?

Is there really $1100 here???

[Necromancer]

Crazy.  An average of $26.50 each is quite high considering there's nothing all that rare or pricey in the lot.  You could probably do just as good (or far better if you're patient) buying 'em individually.

right, I would say these 5...

Ys III
Neutopia II
Lords of Thunder
Dragon Slayer
Parasol Stars

Would give the biggest challenge to find each for under $30, and a couple of them probably could be done with patience.  The others certainly don't justify $900+

thats way off price. Like you said there are about 5 games there are a bit up there in price. Thats about it though

If anyone wants to PayPal me $1100 USD for these 42 games I'd gladly give them up.

If you only shop eBay, 26.50 isn't that rediculous for a turbo game. I can't find turbo games around here outside of a retail setting, where you would pay the same if not more than eBay.

The only place I can get games is through this forum or eBay. In regards to the list above, I haven't seen Neutopia 2, Ys  3 or LOT sell CIB anywhere(even here) close to $30!

It is when it's something like Vigilante, Alien Crush, Side Arms, Blazing Lazers, Keith Courage, etc.  It's even worse when it's part of a big lot.

I spotted a Turbob in the wild while shopping for x-mas gifts.  'Twas a loose TV Sports Football for a $2.95, which I kinda regret not buying (raffle bait).

there is a Sonic Spike and Andre Panza (both CIC, no box) and decent shape for $15 each at a local gouge shop.  I was surprised they weren't asking $50 each.
I talked to one of the dopes working there once and asked how often they get TG stuff.
One kid had to ask the other because he never heard of it.  Mind you, this is a shop where 90% of sales come from old video games and MtG cards.  Drives me crazy when idiots work at these places and can't even talk intelligently about the products they are raping people for.
Anyway, the other kid basically said..."HA HA, that stuff is super rare and impossible to find, never comes in here."
About a year ago, they had a Duo packaged with Takin it to the Hoop, WC Baseball, and Sidearms (all loose).  The huey door was missing, console all scratched up, and the little clear window on the CD cover was missing too.  $300 and the kid working said "it might have issues".

$2200 for a Turbo Express, you say?

"
There might be a few generic adapters out there that say they are compatible with the Turbo Express, but you would be crazy to use anything other than the part made for the unit!

Again, everything is in perfect shape and you never have to purchase batteries for this unit!"

Why, with all the money I'll save on batteries this deal probably MAKES money!

Why does Exile 1 remain so cheap? Is it that common?

I got mine factory sealed with the big CD sticker on it way back in 2006.

They made more copies than there are Turbo CD-ROMs. There may actually be more copies of Exile or CF2 than Keith Courage floating around.
