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

[NightWolve]

Ah, I see, the usual problem/con that much more power is lost to national/local governments over distant federalist/global ones.

The pros are certainly the convenience of traveling country to country in Europe and not having to exchange currency to engage in commerce.

But yeah, there's a whole pro/con to a global currency idea, I don't think I'm for it for the most part, but it's something I'd have to really examine more.

When I went to Greece a few times I got burned because they switched to EURO and before that Americans could have a good/easy time given the exchange rate and bringing USD to buy/exchange for the former Greek Drachma... Your buying power during a vacation was extended, but then it went the other way with the EURO, and so they lost tourism/business at some level.

Even shady power sellers who use generic pics list Bonk 3 for only $500 or so.

What's crazy is that this is one of the legit "rarest" Turbo games, far more rare than Magical Chase. But the relatively common HuCard version has climbed up in price from $40 to hundreds of dollars while the CD game has stayed at relatively the same price the entire time.

What's up with Turboexpress and GT?  Seems nowday they are going for over $300 recapped and there's a couple with box for $500.  It seems like the price doubled since I got my TE a year ago.  Kayne effect?

The Kayne Effect?

Is that when you are playing your TE and some random douchebag runs up, swipes it and starts ranting about how Beyonce deserves to play Turbo?

It's when Kanye West announces to the world that he's the biggest Turbo fan of all-time(!) and that the name of his upcoming album is "TurboGrafx-16".

I don't remember this being posted before, but hopefully this Sapphire bootleg disc for $130 isn't one of the freebees from the forum:

Yeah he had dozens of games for that number.  Bonk 3, Might and Magic III, and Addams Family were all $120

well this is gross.  asking at least 100 over value even if the box wasn't sent through the sewer.

The pro-gouging essay in the description is gross. You can hear his smug voice and feel his facial expression while typing it, emanate across the internet.
