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

[Mathius]

I played Hagane on my SD2SNES cart, and even though it's from our beloved Hudson Soft I didn't find the game very engaging.

I'm surprised that you found Hagane not to be engaging. The gameplay is so on point! Nothing feels cheap, rather all the challenges of the game feel perfectly executed. Once you master a certain level, it feels great and you'll consistently be able to beat it. What didn't you like about it?

I talk about atmosphere in games all the f*cking time. The game's backgrounds, music, and level design just weren't as full of spirit as they could've been. So, in essence I thought the game's atmosphere was a little shallow thanks mainly to it's uninspired level design.

I agree the artstyle may be a bit lacking, but the gameplay is too good and carries the rest of the game. The tight controls feel awesome once mastered - flipping around, jumping off enemies heads, dodging. Feels like executing a combo. The somber ending of the game ends up fitting the art style also

How much eBay cares:

if only people had principles and stopped supporting this gougers/speculators/dealers

Ok.. I understand I am a bit new around here but I decided to check out ebay and a few other sites that list games for the TG16/Duo and I was literally blown away by the pricing of some select games.

I may enjoy the games on this console but in all honesty.... Who in their right mind would pay over $100 for a video game? The most I ever paid was when Phantasy Star 4 came out at the local Electronics Boutique for $90. I had that game day one.

Other than that I have never paid more than $50 for a game. Even the new consoles I wait till the prices drop below $50.

But I digress. I thought I could grab a few games from my past that I knew I missed out on but looks like I will just be burning some discs it seems. I may have some old systems but I never collected anything from/for them. Guess most of my gear is collectible now. Glad I have something to fall back on in another 30yrs'ish when I retire.

The majority of titles can be had for less than $100, especially when it comes to PCE games.  And look on the bright side: at least the pricey games will maintain worth, whereas a $50 game on a modern console will likely be worth $5 a couple years later.

Well, looking back over what is listed you are right. I think it was just a bit of sticker shock for me.

I think I am content with what I have and feel no need to purchase anything listed there. I am just glad I am able to experience what I do have

Just got a message from eBay, that I thought would be of interest. I pulled out specific parts. There is often the question here of "Why doesn't eBay punish people for continually listing and relisting absurd, above market BINs?" Well, it appears instead of ignoring it, they are pushing sellers to list BINs, and actually encourage it.

... Adjustments to monthly allotments of free listings. eBay will update the monthly allotments of free listings*—zero insertion fees—for both eBay Stores subscribers and sellers without an eBay Store...

... A $1 special duration feature fee per listing for sellers who choose 1- or 3-day auction-style listings. Charging this fee will help discourage the use of shorter durations where they are least successful...

... Consider listing fixed price more often, especially for items that have a clear market value or when you know the price you want for your item. List auction-style for premium items when the value may fluctuate, when price is unknown, or when there is intense buyer demand for a limited item....

Its really been like that for years since retro gaming collecting has become the "hip" thing to do. You think overpriced Turbo games are bad, look at the Neo Geo AES games! There are some that regularly go over the $1,000 mark and beyond whereas Turbo games you have maybe 2 or 3 that are over that mark.

Counting for inflation, that's like $140 2015 dollars plus tax.

You probably couldn't have picked a better game to drop 90 bucks on at the time.  PS IV was incredible!  Imagine being one of the poor fools who picked up some lame N64 game for 90 bucks when it came out?  Superman 64 anyone?
