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

[GameFreak]

it was $2500 than $1200 now it's $450. Closer to reasonable, but not quite. I'll bet it sells at that price though. http://cgi.ebay.com/TURBO-GRAFX-CD-SYSTEM-BOXED-W-5-GAMES-valis-3-rare-/320716339966?pt=Video_Games&hash=item4aac2efafe

NICE - the auction even has an embedded music track.  A sure seller!

Nectarsis-
...to buy the system or just play some games with him? 

Actually 450 isn't too bad but I wouldnt touch it at that price myself. I've seen the boxed versions go for 350- 500+ easily.

What does he mean when he says in description ... "most people don't even know they came boxed".
WTF? How else would you sell them? In a plastic bag from the factory? that makes NO sense. hahahaa

I thought they came in big plastic bubbles? Man.

I thought NEC hand delivered them to your doorstep, and setup was included in the price...

Loading a flash cart with games and selling it seems kinda,.........well I'll let you decide. http://cgi.ebay.com/16-Turbo-Grafx-16-games-Neo-Team-/280699991816?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item415b05f708

Kinda useless without the writer thingy, unless you already have one for some other flashcart.  He's not gouging though since it started off cheap, but it sure as shit does not work on a Game Boy Advance.

[GameFreak]

Yeah but if I had one Bonk3 Rom and a bunch of flash carts, Im sure I could make money off of one rom and I would still have bonk3 in the end. It's like loading an mp3 player with music and selling it. I'll bet it sells for almost as much as bonk3.

Yeah there is no way to put more roms on there without the cable. Also I think that has an internal battery (right?) so all the games go Ka-Puff when the battery dies.

Gameboy advance WTF?

Dunno if it has a battery or not, but I -think- they used flash chips (re-programmable eeproms), so I doubt the games go 'Ka-Pufff'

Gameboy advance WTF?

The end that goes into the writer has a GBA pin setup. So of course, he thinks it works in one <lol>

And yeah, I think that's pretty close to having a peg-leg... :0

[roflmao]

I don't think there's anything close about it.  It's pretty blatant.  I'd be surprised if this doesn't get pulled.

But what do I know?

[nat]

Yeah, doesn't this violate all sorts of eBay polices? I mean, they don't even allow region switches for chrissake.

[Lum]

Likely. My SNES import adapter got pulled... I was lucky enough to buy on ebay, an NES powerpak and a Japanese Saturn the listing says is CD-R modded. Hope these work right when they arrive.

Speaking of ebay I'd noticed there are more copies of Stadium Events for sale than Turbografx CD drives now. When the heck did that attachment suddenly become so difficult to acquire? Only like a year or two ago IIRC you could at least find broken ones from time to time. I guess it doesn't matter for me though.

[Necromancer]

It's certainly against eBay's rules, but I don't have a problem with it; it's obviously a flash cart and labeled as such, so anyone that bids it high for the preloaded ROMs deserves a swift kick to the pills.

Linky - $7.50 for a f*cking copy of Might & Magic III's map/list.  Report it now, for all the good it'll do.
