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

[Necromancer]

So should I be reporting the "Magical Chase" item? I am so confused! 

But of course.  Everyone knows that Hudson used up all their gold on huey contacts, so the real Grails were made of sterling silver.

Fake Ys is fake. Only a moron would think this cd-r copy was real...

I added a photo of my original for comparison. Huh, I didn't know CD-Rs of this were already in circulation.

And the eBay Feka:

It must be a silver printable CDr, because there is some "rainbow" on the eBay pic...

Here are my copies of Ys IV and Dracula X, side by side with the english translations, burned on silver printable CDr's...

Remove the pickle from your cornhole, necro, and the hamster too.

Some people just can't stand it when they're wrong.

You left in the apostrophes.  Nooooo!!!

Of course!

Actually - I scanned the JP disc and created the new "label" over it as a layer in Photoshop...  I hemmed and hawed about the apostrophes and decided that they were as good as canon.

To me, the apostrophe is a minor character in the Ys storyline, which appears at random, causing outrage, confusion and mirth...

Ha!  I love it.  I bet he's in the secret lab in the developers room.

“There is used, really used, and then there is this somewhere far beyond that”   

I love that honesty, but I also love the fact that I can buy a warranty!

[Black Tiger]

Does the warranty only pay out if the box condition improves?

Judging by the copy it's a joke (?). Honestly I can't even tell any more.

No shipping to Canada...

I got scammed by something similar once, which wasn't intended as a joke. The guy was attempting to use clever wording to fool people into believing that they were bidding on a complete vhs set of the He-Man/MotU series. Except that he was too dumb to word it in any kind of ambiguous way and the description literally said that it was what bidders were looking for. So when I got a few sheets of paper with an episode list in the mail, along with a Spanish copy of the live action film, I was able to win a claim through eBay. But this was the days of snail mail money orders, so the whole thing took months.

This happened on a episode of Judge Judy

[toymachine78]

Ha! Shoulda guessed. Didn't really know where you reside. I'm surprised you didn't plug DoxPhile in the listing lol

[Gentlegamer]

Please tell me you photoshopped "Magical Chase" onto that pic and fools are bidding on it.

Null, You're my hero for the week.
