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

A cool mug and the proceeds go to Aaron to help fund the forum. 

Thanks for reminding me about the cafepress store.  Just purchased the Turbo Legacy poster.  I had almost forgotten all about it. 

I had forgotten about this awesome item too... probably gonna order one later tonight. It would look fantastic in my gameroom!

Every time I see one, I drool.  I need to get me one before they disappear.

Damn it! I tried to order this poster, but now the website says the page cannot be found?!? Does this mean theyre no longer availible and have run out? Nooooo...

Man, the SS 3.0 case with 2.0 card sold for $65!

Jeez, someone was crazy/stupid enough to buy that? Maybe they had a loose SS 3.0 card and wanted the case/insert? Still overpriced either way, but I'm just trying to figure out why someone would pay that much

Maybe people thought the card is 3.0?  Title was misleading and if people didn't scroll down, they'd never see anything about 2.0 card with 3.0 case and insert.

well it looks like the guy still made it off with the phony listing being sold

Try a different browser.  I had the same issue at first.

Already discussed last week (maybe in this thread). Several people called him out on it and he published the questions and answers, admitting that he realized it's not a 3.0 card. He might've been limited on what eBay would let him edit at that point, since there were already bids on it.

Yes, the best thing he could've done was end the auction and re-list it, but I don't think he was being intentionally phony about it.

Anyone that put a bid in on that listing knew what they were bidding on.  Only a TG collector/reseller would even be looking at the auction.  Still $65 for a case seems crazy to me.

yeah, i'd say you're right there, $65 is crazy or stupid, potentially both.

I agree, no way can that be real...

I just bought a copy of Shockman for $25 from a used video game shop in Australia (Gametraders) that I thought was loose, but they found the case and manual and did not charge me any extra.

[meka]

There's also another Shockman going for the buy it now price of $150: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shockman-TurboGrafx-16-1992-EXTREMELY-RARE-GAME-/140821865500?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20c9a3241c

[FiftyQuid]

I paid $37 for the one I sent Bernie.

[DarkKobold]

Boy, I'm glad I got my copy for $42 a couple months ago. Wish I'd had the foresight to buy Neutopia 2 as well.

There is something freaky going on with video games lately. All prices across the board are spiking, when they usually fall this time of year.

Does some character on the big bang theory collect games or something?
