Not Turbo, but the most shameless intentional gouging I've ever seen. This is a fan project, where a group ripped the content from the CD exclusive Crossed Swords 2 and got it to work as a cart game, with Crossed Swords music used in place of CD tracks. They made a bunch of physical copies, since everyone demanded it, but they were reasonably priced all things considered.

I didn't bother to buy one when I had the chance, because it wasn't worth buying over other games I wanted and it's still a compromised hack of the full version, which I can just play on CD.

This a$$hole bought one with the intent to immediately flip it for maximum profit using maximum hype.

I think he's a cheesehead from Josh's 'hood.

'Tis buyer imposed gouging, caused by the perception of value being skewed by BINs (sold or not), shill bidding, etc.

I posted this in chat, but I saw this listing today:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TurboGrafx-16-2-Controllers-TurboStick-17-Great-Games-More-RARE-EUC-L-K-NR-/391479939531

Is that really a realistic value for that bundle?  I mean like I know Sinistron and Dragon's Curse and maybe Neutopia have some value, but that seems like quite a high selling price.

It's only worthwhile if you're the type of blind new-to-Turbo collector who believes that a loose TG-16 is worth $200.
