Do you think the mark up from $17.99 is too much?

I always wonder about those auctions with a number of sold.  Seems like it might behoove some less than honest seller to simply sell a couple to himself to make it seem like that's a reasonable going rate.

At least the four listed in its sold history went for far less than what he's asking now, selling at $53.59, $79.99, $79.99, and $75.59.

Still crazy for such a common game that was inflation proof up till now.

Interesting. And some people like to say "resellers" do not directly affect the inflated cost of games.


I say of course they do as they set the price point. It's only a matter of waiting to see if a buyer accepts that price point as the new standered.


$30 dollar game. Sells all day every day for $30.

Reseller goes and puts his stock of the game at $60.

People buy it. Other resellers see the price has shifted to $60.


$60 becomes the new price for that game.

Until someone somewhere thinks. Hey. Why not $75?

...lol!

Sadder yet, 8 sold. I guess people like smoking butt crack.



Strange that there are a couple of other copies, one of which CIC, that are far less money than this one. I've bought from this seller before and their prices were pretty good (Devils Crush and Alien Crush) so this is sad to see.

If you were to filter out the sold listing for auction only listing, they will always go for less. Some sellers may be only looking at the highest sold listing and checking the current listing to undercut if needed while still much higher than true average market price.

So. Just for my own information. Is the current going rate of $200 plus for a turbo express crazy eBay prices. Or just "the standered".

Pretty much standard: $150 for used one with battery cover and weak sound but works or $200 for recapped and working one.  Don't pay for more than $250 including shipping because it's more into gouging territory.

Original box adds extra. LCD mod is a hit or miss, some people prefer original intact model and some wants bigger, better LCD for playing but properly done 3.5" LCD mod should be good for quite a fair amount.
