That "ASE" guy has been selling Turbo stuff on eBay for five years at least, perhaps longer. I bought a game off him once in 2005 or earlier and somehow he got my home phone number (from Paypal? not sure) and called me like two minutes after I completed paying out for the auction. It was really creepy. I never bought from him again.

I've bought 3 or 4 things from that ASE guy as well, but they were honestly very standard transactions...no creepy phone calls, and I felt the prices were fair.

But that was like five years ago. Maybe he's changed.

Yeah, I have my Sparky labels still sitting on my desk here at work, and the Magical Chase sticker looks WAY better than that guy's.

 :shock:

What was the call about? Was there even a good reason to call? That's just strange.

I don't remember exactly. It was something along the lines of him wanting to "make contact" with his customers and assure me that I'd receive the "best service possible." Don't get me wrong-- the item was in perfect condition and he shipped extremely fast. The call was very off-putting though.

I'm not the kind of guy that cares about "making contact" with sellers on eBay.

What about the over-the-hill cougar that used to sell TG stuff?  She was hot stuff. :lol: :^o

I guess you can commend the guy for going the extra mile in customer service, but you'd think an email would do the trick. heh

I didn't know Sarah Palin sold TG stuff.  85% new is quite a bit generous.
