And this guy doesn't ship to PO Boxes. Lame. I guess its better than $100 that this usually goes for...

No box. For $80 you're not missing anything.

Homemade label looks familiar. Is someone here gouging with Sparky materials? Saying a Keith Courage case, or worse, a punched-out jewel case, is worth $15 isn't cool.

[Sparky]

Hahaha.. Not my label as the colour is f@cked and since he values the custom case as $15 it has to have come from this guy... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHOCKMAN-TURBO-GRAFX-16-CUSTOM-CASE-ONLY-Very-COOL-/310420426411?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48467fceab

Edit: but thanks for the concern man (( high five))

Be patient.  I've found two for under $70 with the box.  You should be able to find one without the box for $50-$60 at the most.

Even before I was a regular on these forums I tried to talk him down to like $5 with the best offer and got turned down every time. That's probably why he doesn't have that option anymore. At any rate, I rather go with Sparky's cases and labels any day.

NAI didn't originally ship with a case?  Anyone care to explain, as this is new to me.

NAI shipped in a plastic tray insert, not the jewel case that the earlier games came in.

There were a quite a few that didn't come with cases, mostly later releases:

So the game still came with a box then.  I thought he meant they were shipped loose or something.  Isn't it priced just average, then?  $100 complete, $80 with fake case/no box?

Edit:  Oh, and thanks for the informative link!

Average on Ebay yes. I could have gotten the game last year at the Retro Gaming Convention in Portland Oregon for half that if I knew this was going to happen. Oh well, since when did Neutopia fetch such a high price?

No, that one's high even for ebay. A CIB copy auctioned for $73 last week.

As an untouched BIN, it's not fetching a high price.

Shill bidding at its finest?

Several of the high bidders sure look like shills to me...

[Sadler]

Bitched about Terraforming in chat earlier today. I haven't seen a US copy for somewhere around a year, and in the past few weeks there have been 3 for sale—two of which I'm pretty sure are the same copy.

Sort of Sadler. 

2 were for sale.  PLCards (known reseller) is chasing this game.  He is bidding to 200.00 and stopping.  There is a possible Shill bidding here and if so I will get a second chance offer to my alternate ID which there is no way I will accept.   

There are about 13-15 people watching these auctions.  So far I have a list of 6 specific ID's.

I was watching it just to see how high it would go (no intent to bid, as I knew it would jump out of my price range), however, I never expected it to go over $500! Thats just insane! Oddly enough, the other copy that was being auctioned ended suddenly with days left to go...

[Bernie]

I'm the high bidder............
