Two were auctioned within a week of each other a few months ago. IIRC, one went for over a hundred and the other for $70-80.

Nice find! Wow, he's really going against the tide, $3 bucks to start for everything he got a hold of. I'm tempted to grab Blazing Lasers, I kinda would like an original as somewhat of a game collector, but since I plan to buy KRIKzz's upcoming HuFlashCard, I wanna spend the money there. Anyway, cool guy though.


This persons auctions are coming up to the end point.  Some of them are still at reasonable prices, but I'm suspecting a bit of shillery going on here...

I knew the prices would end up at the standard "buy it now" PRICES.

I don't think bidders are reading the fine print in his ads.  I contacted him about the "codes" written inside the manuals.  He told me a majority of them have writing on the back of the manual, but the writing is very neatly done as if almost typed.  I'm sure there are some deals to be had here, but some bidders that skipped over the auction descriptions quickly are going to be disappointed if they have severe OCD.

Too bad we cant coordinate our bids so we dont fight over the same stuff. But I guess thats kind of hard in a public forum that potential scammers would take advantage of.

I hate ebay all the time with games.  It's that evil necessity for impatient gamers wanting score something they usually think is only ever seen on ebay.  With the going trend the past 3 years with turbo it's really just going to get worse.

I threw a $12 bid at Boxyboy with no expectations of winning it.  Then I received an email from eBay showing the winning bid by me for $11.28.  Ugh!  What was I thinking?  Looks like I might default on payment though.  I had spoken to the seller about his $15 shipping to Canada.  He said "I'll combine shipping to get it as cheap as possible. I just put $15.00 on there because I didn't want to calculate the postage. I figured $15.00 would cover one disk anywhere."  Then the invoice arrived with $15 for shipping.  #-o  

I sent him a message.

This one had a starting bid of .99 with a Buy it Now for $399.99.  I bid a dollar to get the BIN out of there.
dumb ass.

And to have some fun, i sent him this question...

Is the CD in the picture a part of the auction?  If so, you should mention it.  That's a really rare game you have there.  Some sellers are asking over $100 for that one.

Ha!  Awesome!

This one has to win for worst eBay auction photo and description ever.  Putz.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TurboGrafx-16-with-CD-Player-/180922547772?pt=Video_Games&hash=item2a1fd2fe3c

$899 BIN for TG+CD and Vasteel?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-TurboGrafx-CD-TurboDuo-Black-Console-NTSC-/170873416245?pt=Video_Games&hash=item27c8d96a35

Oh wait... Cosmic Fantasy 2 is in there to justify the price...What is the TG16 version of Vasteel worth?  $900 seems like a lot to me.  $40 for the TG-16, $100 for the 3.0 card, maybe a $100 for the CD and docking base???
