Not sure if anyone seen this or posted..  But check it out.  I got excited, until I read the fine print...  ugh

Yeah, thats a great one :lol:

Best ones are those that show the WHOLE package and then claim "but without XXX from the picture, again you do NOT bid on the CONTENT". Haha, yeah sure dude.

Relisted at a mere $70 for a case/manual?  Sweet!

That's kind of annoying.  I picked up a Super System Card loose a few years ago.  I'd like to own a case but not for infinity dollars.  Stupid ebay douchebags.

While System 3.1 card prices were still the same on eBay, I bought mine complete for $80'ish. The manual has some creases, but it just looks like a regular played copy of a game.

This loser dared to put Turbo in their name and is now gouging off the rest of their "collection".

Probably the crook from my area moved to Ontario. They were selling the "rare" HuCard converter for an outrageous price (along with other items in this seller's shop).

The only shipping option they allow within Canada for their $50 Vasteel map is $20. So you can buy the map alone for double what the game often sells for.

What is the "vent hole" mentioned in the description?

Small hole(s) in the shrink wrap to let the air out when it was sealed.

All my games have massive vent holes.  It's funny how much they breathe when you remove the cellophane completely.  :)

Apparently $500 for a half-complete copy is the new going rate for Beyond Shadowgate?  Yeesh.
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.
