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

[MotherGunner]

There is only one problem... the plan has been laid out on this forum and now the world will know what we are up to.   OPSEC.

Only thing that would suck is eBay fees when you sell an item. I'm not ready to pay for a scam lol.

[tggodfrey]

i already explained how to get around the fees.

Lol o yea you did lol, eBay use to be cool tho when you knew you was buyinga bootlegg and understood what it was you was buying. Now eBays more anal, we could prolly get away with a scam like this a few times but anything fishy eBays mods catch on and start supending acounts. In the long run tho if a game is rare price does drop. (Like baseball cards).

I hope someone from here got that New Adventure Island w/box for $55. I've been looking for this game, with at least the manual, for a decent price forever. I'm gonna scream if it pops up in a week with a ridiculous BIN.

I bought a copy of NAI, on eBay, within the past year, for $18. NAI never struck me as the sort of game you should be waiting around "forever" to find a good deal on.

You and me, both! I used to have this game, and unfortunately sold it during a dark time I like to call "2003". It rarely comes up for what I deem a fair price, and the one before this complete copy sold for over $60, and wasn't in the best condition. If anyone finds any leads, I'd be pleased to hear about it. In the meantime, I continue to play the waiting game...

You gotta be shittin' me!

$127.50 for a complete Raiden, $322 for a complete Legend of Hero Tonma, $154 for an unboxed Soldier Blade, and $152 for a new Lords of Thunder.  To make matters worse, they're self-imposed gouge jobs that started off cheap.

Well, let's just hope the market will fall out from under this retro gaming boom and shake off all the excess spenders. I can only pray.

Two of those appear to be the seller that was suspected of shilling a few days back.

Not that it makes this any better.

I didn't know Turbo collecting was around Neo Geo AES prices.  Who would've guessed? 

[MotherGunner]

What would bring prices down is a slew of fresh bootleg Hucards into the market.  Magical Chase, a Soldier Blade re-run, etc.

I've been casually watching turbo prices on ebay since almost the beginning of ebay. I have been quite shocked about two or three years ago certain items skyrocketed in price and people bought them. That was when the economy was really bad. Now that the economy is slightly better and SLOWLY getting better, you can expect the prices to go up even more in the next year. Some items will double in price for sure. I don't see the prices going down ever.

I would really approve of this! I would buy one. I have never (YET) paid more than $50 for a single game. I am SO surprised china or the mafia has not done this yet, *hint hint, wink wink*. I would love to see some modern day hucard bootlegs but at a cheap price.

They wouldn't be cheap ($100 or more each), as it's a small community and the start up costs would be huge.

[thesteve]

it should be cheap to have some boards made for flash roms.
they wont look stock, but will run.

[MotherGunner]

thesteve, any pics of what you are talking about?  (Curious if it would at least have some Artwork on the card, etc)
