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

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Yeah I was gonna say, that guy isn't a power seller or top rated seller, so he has to be paying some auction fees of some type, just giving money away hoping for a few big sales. The same thing happens with vintage computer parts too on there. People will list old parts at crazy prices and just keep relisting them for months on end at quadruple their worth, like a Voodoo 2 8meg card for 200 bucks.

It does not cost anything to re-list items that don't sell.

Not true.

* Both the original listing and the relisting must be in auction-style format. Fixed price, Classified Ad, and Real Estate listing formats aren't eligible for relisting credits.

I stand corrected.

5 Operation Wolf (the superb arcade classic! that demands high prices in auctions and major bidding wars as this title hardly ever surfaces on the retro games market)

Please Note: some of the games are rare and alone invite high prices in previously watched auctions alone (i.e. Super Match Tennis, Operation Wolf etc.) without the console itself, hence this is a great setup that's ready to go and a good selection of rare and top games to get your collection started.

When I last searched Ebay Worldwide it was the only one of its type with a collection of games and UK ready to go with all leads etc. There is one other PC Engine in white in Japan and it is currently listed for £653.88 (it is new and comes without any game HU Cards, hence I'd like to think its fair to say this is a good auction I'm offering here).

For every seller that people give the benefit of doubt to, like maybe it's just a mislisting or they don't know any better, there's douchebags like this who write you a detailed essay on how far they will go to decieve potential buyers.

soop: you missed the line about the rare and priceless control pad.

Can't you get white PC Engines for like $30? This guy deserves any flaming coming his way.

Seems like this guy is trying to pass off a PC Engine Duo as the American console...

I think he's just a moron and doesn't know shit about what he has.  I mean, he can't be too knowledgeable describing the Arcade Card Duo as "Duo Hucard (PCE-AC1) for save games".

Man, I thought the one for $59 was bad.  

I had to send the guy a message;

Hello, I was just curious how you justified the price of this item when identical items are selling, on average, for $30.

Believe it or not, I have seen them go higher than this.

The Seller responded;

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  There was an error when I inputted the price.

The new price?  $59.

what the hell.
I paid $30 for my copy, and the seller threw in sega classics collection on ps2.
Though I will say, it was pretty regular in price until Spida1a's review of the game, then it shot up.
