NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Even funnier that its almost double than my maximum bid.

And yet another insanely priced Dungeon Explorer 2:

I think this one started at $100.00.  I remember seeing it when it was originally posted.  No BIN.

yeah this guy looked into the prices, and the buzz for the system. while he started them at relativly low prices compared to ebay final sales, he knew he was going to get more for his collection.  Some stuff went reasonably though.

even funnier is the "very good" condition.
I can tell even from those crappy pics that the front cover is water damaged to hell and back.

That's far from the highest it's gone in the past....though obviously would have reached higher if not for that atrocious damage.

It is a sucky time when honest sellers are outnumbered by dishonest gougers.

FQ To be completly honest with everyone, that listing would be mine.  eBay made me take out the part about "if anyone told you diffrent than they were shitting you"    




This also was kinda interesting:

Very honest of you to admit it's your auction.  Too bad eBay made you remove the original.  I don't think it was bad at all, in fact I think it was classy.  :D
