But $440.00 is totaly madness if you ask me! I'm a simple guy with a simple job and a simple salary I could'nt pay that kind of money for ONE game even if I wanted too!!!
Bidding over 100-150.00 for any game is out of the question as far as I'm concerned.

The troubling thing is that people will actually say that because it went for $440 last week, that a BIN that is more than half again as much is somehow a good price. This is how these prices get so out of control so quicky. Why not double the price? Tripple! It its worth $1000, it must be worth $2000, right?

This game is, what, 16 years old? And for the first 13-14 years of its uber rare existance it was less than $100. Now, all of the sudden $777 is fair?

And all this while the JP version is like...$35 or something. For the extra $750 you could actually hire a translator to play through the whole game with you, and then you wouldn't be at home by yourself all day.

Yeah, I don't see how Game Squad stays in business. I guess a lot of people are dumb enough to pay $999 for a Turbo Duo.

I hate how Game Squad uses that stupid white tile counter for all his pictures too.   Anytime I see that I stay away.

Ditto!

I have even tried to communicate and work with that dude to make me some kind of a deal (this was back when I was a Turbo n00b). Even Pat at Pompey Parsons will work with you if you ask. He's the guy who set me up with my Turbo-CD.:)

Pretty nice lot there... it'd probably do pretty good if he'd just start it at $0.99 no reserve
