He's a joker I'd reckon given there's another listing of Magical Chase at the same time for $5k.

The $100k Magical Chase has been there for months.  It's also been brought up here more than once.  I think it's more of a guy giving the finger to people bragging that he has a copy than a legit cash grab attempt.

It's been posted many times. It's the the eBay equivalent of posting a "taking offers" for sale thread. If you have no idea what something is worth, then you have no business trying to get as much as you can for it.

I heard the guy turned down a $10k offer leaving me to believe that he doesn't have the game or isn't actually selling it.

"This is the US version as you can tell by the UPC code on the back. This is not the Canadian version."

Yet it has a upc sticker covering the original upc on the box and comes with the french translated manual insert.  :lol:

Absolutely no refund? eBay can screw that seller hard.  Buy it for 100k, when it arrives report a defect that wasn't described correctly or accurately. "There's a little scratch on the game connector, it is not mint or near mint as claimed"

If he tries to fight back on not as described claim, he will lose under eBay rule.  The only question is who has $100k to waste and is big enough a dick head to try and make a return for refund on his no-refund rule.

only $2,500, so cheap

Not so bad compared to most posts in this thread. Separately those items would actually sell for half the asking price on eBay.

It's funny how crooked sellers say things like "rare converter" in the title, but when you get down to the very end of the description they finally say that it doesn't really work.

yeah, there's actually good stuff in the bundle - but $2,500 is still pretty crazy! I guess 2X the price is not as dastardly as 4X though :P

The first time that lot of games was listed, it was for $3500.  Then it went down to $3000.  Now it is at $2500.

Just 3 more listings and it'll start to be reasonable.  ...or I guess you could hold out until the BIN of $0 5 listings from now.

Vidpro cards are kinda neat, but not worth more than like maybe $5.
