Not Turbo related, but rediculous gouging nonetheless...

Plus no case and 'game disc isn't perfect' (whatever that means) - sounds like a sweet deal!  :lol:

I feel no pity for anyone stupid enough to buy that.

It is suppose to retail at $200. It won't be a limited edition. Its the buyers fault more than the sellers, if they do purchase this ebay item.
Hey, you.

I bought one in the same completeness here a year ago for $30 - $40(?).

I think that they mean the in-game computer voiced descriptions of units. The stats look like they were translated in Google and copy/pasted into the description. "Support Elements Cartridge Save" likely just means you can save your game.

$499 BIN for Cotton (USA)???  #-o

Near mint, but in the photos it looks like someone took a cigarette lighter to the back of the manual.  Second one on eBay this year?  More like 3rd one on eBay this month.  Dumbasses...

You mean the right hand side?  That's normal, as it's an extension of the front cover art and not a plain black strip like most other games.

I am sure "16-bit" has been referenced in this thread many times... "repeat offender" for many years..

Ah.  Thanks for clarifying.  I don't have $499 to blow so I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the inside of Cotton.

Wow, I remember when half his stuff was 20% - 50% higher than the average asking price, but I didn't realize he'd gotten into the gouging competition. :/ Hopefully he isn't power buying Turbo games just to ransome them at gouger prices. :(
