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

[Alt-Nintega1]

[Necromancer]

You don't like it?  Then get the f*ck out and start your own thread about how there's no such thing as gouging.

How many times must I say this?!?

No thanks. Until someone with authority actually speaks, I'll continue to point out the stupidity of terms like "self-gouging," and the blatant hypocrisy in this thread. Last I checked, you weren't king of this forum, and general forum etiquette does not say that "the topic starter gets to dictate exactly what is posted in an open thread." You sound like a petulant child, and because he isn't getting his way, will pack up his toys and take them home so the other children can't play with them. Stop acting like you own this thread, because you don't. 

Also, I think it is necessary for a sane voice to be in here, because there seems to be a handful of users that can only can cuss and name call at newbies, which is not good for any forum. I doubt the actual moderators and owners want the old timers constantly screaming at new members of the community, scaring them off.

nullity, don't worry, this juvenile "MY THREAD MY THREAD" activity is not an indicator of normal activity here, and I've had some great interactions with people here who don't act this way. Not surprisingly, the handful of users who piss and moan about "gougers" are also the ones jumping on every deal, and not offering any of their own.

dude you are 100% right. Don't worry about the clowns in this thread. This is the place for them to bitch and moan because they can't have certain games. I sell Turbob games on ebay for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars and I am proud of it.

I even have the same people from this thread actually buy my games for crazy money because they can't and never will find these games anywhere else.

Necromancer, you are a piece of shit. GTFO please. We are sick and tired of your whining you bitch!


Ebay is the best place to find video games, period! Your stupid local stores have garbage and your dumbarse flea market trips are worthless because you find a turbo game there like what? once a year if you are lucky?

I hope Ebay prices keep going up, this is what makes video games collectables. If everything was dirt cheap then there would be no such thing as collecting.

This thread is f*ckin fail!!!! 

You know you're doing good when you've got ninnypants on your side.

I have seen the awesomeness of FiftyQuid, turboswimzz, professorprofessorson, you, and etc. I have not seen this from Vestcoat or Necromancer. I've only seen them on the assault. I've not been here extremely long, so in the past, they may have been very generous. However, I don't believe previous generosity should enable carte blanche to attack people you disagree with.  

Sorry you weren't aware of my sales. And again, don't throw the first stone when you've done nothing.

This conversation started because I defended a seller who ended his auction EARLY, to sell LOWER, and STILL he was called a gouger, simply because people didn't like the price others are bidding. The only defense put forward was "We have a f*ck EBAY club." Oh, and DarkKobold sucks was the other defense.

Hey idiot: I didn't disagree with you. You're right - Bardoly was taking a fairly extreme stance. All I said is that adults don't need a self-righteous lecture on the definition of "price". Then you hurled accusations of stinginess and I pointed out that you suck. Good times.

I'm not denying there are legitimate gougers. However, calling anyone who posts an auction for a rare game a gouger is just misdirected anger.

I like you Sparky, you seem like a genuinely nice guy. I don't like the concept of your club. It inspires hostility towards any person who uses ebay, for either selling or buying. It also removes any chance of legitimate debate, as it gives an "Us vs. them" mentality, which just exacerbates this hostility.

you read into things way to much man as people are generally speaking here even read the rules of the f-ebay club, You can use ebay if you have common sense, and i think one of those comments taht stirred you up came from BigusSchmuck and he is not even a member of the f-ebay club. You sound like lawyer.

Am I wrong for thinking paying $200+ is too much for a game? Its just my opinion and thats it. You can laugh and hoot at me all you want, but even in the 90s when I saw a $200 price tag on Neo Geo games I thought even back then that was extreme. This thread has been derailed enough for one day I think.

DK is perfectly welcome to take his army of supporters and pontificate in a new thread where he can tell me to GTFO. In an effort to bury the hatchet, I'll even offer some subject titles that may appeal to him:
*Reseller Public Relations Think Tank
*The TurboGrafx: a Return on Your Investment
*Exploiting Communities for the Free Market
*The Mythology of Market Manipulation
*Is This a Good Deal?
*Help Me Fix My Stuff.
*Dungeon Explorer II: is it awesome or is it awesome? We think it's ALL THREE.
*The Meaning of "Price": a Closer Look.

I LOLed.  Quite a bit, actually.

Oh god, I don't need people like this defending me...

Why not?  He only said what you're thinking...

Yeah sorry Nintega someone called out TurboKid as you before you even made a single post. Funny stuff though. I don't think anyone is paying you top dollar for any of your scratched up dirty loose hu cards. You're just jealous cause you aren't in our special club!

I would def like to start repop'ing games.  Most of us here agree we just want to play it not really collect it.  Unfortunately I dont know how to go about it.
