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

[Necromancer]

I don't see a problem with that shockman auction.. It was a low starting price with no reserve... Bidders know what their getting into and how much their bidding. If they spent too much its on them.

Self inflicted gouging is still gouging - the blame just gets shifted to the other side of the table.

Not TG/PCE related but did you guys catch this?
A sealed Stadium Events for NES for $500,000:

Hmm, a four bedroom house or a crappy NES sports game? Tough call.

Only a VGA 75 rating?  Shit, I'd snap it up at that price if it was at least an 85.

As in "85% new" ?

Why of course.  Nothing but the best!  


At first I though this $90 copy of Wizardry I & II was a ripoff, but then I noticed it was teh rarez 90% English version.  A steal at any price!

[SuperPlay]

90% English version :@)

I saw a half-melted SNES that was for sale at a thrift store. Looked like it had been under a Burger King heat lamp. They wanted $50 complete

$90? Its already 90% english (as with the other wizardry games for the pce)! Good grief, this video game quality guy, and powered up games are just insane with their pricing! Someone needs to put em in their place! To top things off, he won't even go down on parasol stars complete:

Offered him $30 and got ignored. Lame.

Lol yea I know that seller I tried to get a game off him a year ago I think, I think Cyber-Core he was askng $20 I offered $15 got turned down then just to be an ass I offered $19 and he accepted it lol. Maybe if you offered $40 he would say yes lol.

Even $30 might've been too much for Parasol Stars.

[BigusSchmuck]

You are probably right, but I paid $20 for the loosey of it, I was hoping to get the complete one and raffle off the loosey here. Might just create a wanted thread for it... At any rate, something needs to be done about these gougers and about you can do is buy your pceware here.

Damn, that was a good deal!

[Arkhan]

I want to go buy a few sealed, overpriced games and film myself unsealing them and accidentally ripping boxes

[blueraven]

There was some guy that used to film himself destroying video games for shock value that someone posted here awhile back.

My reaction was basically; If you're that much of a f*cking loser and that's the only way you can get attention, then your sucking at life.

Does anyone know why he did that?

[esteban]

Why did he smash games? To get attention. And, it worked.
