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

[tpivette]

DE2 was a $150 game on ebay just a few months ago. Then suddenly, for reasons unknown, its auctions seemed to end at double that price.

I wasn't gonna pay $150 for it a few months ago... now theres NO chance I'll ever own that game

Mine was bid up to ~$150 in July - I notice that one of the bidders on mine doubled his max for this $460 one... can't tell who the other players are though.

  Jeez, I just saw what DE2 ended at this morning, and I'm amazed and disgusted.  Some idiot obviously just HAD TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!1!

Unless he has two boxes this is a case to be brought before eBay.

Could be shenanigans but the new auction states:

Up for auction the box and manual to arguably the rarest system of all time the turbo duo Nec turbo 16 grafx!! Box has some creases and ware and paint I would say a 6 out of 10 but everyone's opinion is different I'm by no way qualified to grade this. I did my best to picture imperfections if you want more pictures or any questions feel free to ask! Happy bidding! One More time No System!!! Just the box!!!! BOX ONLY!!! Impulse buy at the last minute before reading has caused me to relist the item.

I know i saw that.  I call shenanigans.  He bids his own auction up with alt ID then bases the new price off that giving you the impression its worth it but the last buyer flaked out.

I had no idea that was what the Duo was actually called. Even NEC couldn't get the name right.

a member here is bidding on it so it would be wise for future ebay sales to not start a bidding war.  The fact its at 200.00 is already discusting.

So..., how many members here are looking to get this game?  (and are willing to pay $150+ for it?)

Just curious.  I'm also curious as to how good of a game this is.  In other words, should I be bidding on this too?
