Oh look, now people think Cotton is worth $500. Thanks a lot, MadGear/16-Bit!

What you're doing is planting seeds for later inflation.  You know it's not going to sell and people will scoff, but when they see it suddenly become "no longer available" they'll start to wonder what if it really sold for $500. Then all you need is a couple months of scarcity before people get desperate and $500 becomes the new price. You're trying to make Cotton the next runaway witch on the inflation broomstick.

$203 shipped for a sealed copy of John Madden Duo CD Football.  :|

The strange thing is what appears to be a 110 euro price tag on it; what's this thing doing in Europe and why does this guy think it's worth $60 extra?

Are you saying that this game should be going for $140ish?

I was just looking at the auction.  I didn't know Megaman was released for the PCE so I was considering buying it and then looked at the price.  WTF?!

That game is supposed to be free and it is an nes port. Bonknuts from the forums here did the work on it. http://pcedev.wordpress.com/downloads-and-links/

Well, this is where it came from:

http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/

And he still has 'em for sale at 49 EUR which = $63 USD. "RARE" indeed... But yeah, he took Bonknuts' free port work, pressed CDs and threw 'em up for sale. Same guy that did the Sapphire bootlegs.

Lord no!  I meant why are they (a store) trying to get 50% more on eBay than what they presumably sell it for locally (assuming that sticker is theirs).

Yep and BlueBMW gave away 3490875908723450987608792345087+1 of those for free.  Granted I think they were lose copies, but still. 

I also :lol: at the John Madden price.  Thank you people that never cared about the Turbo.

Well well well.....  Look at what we have here..  As for the above eBay item for that insane asking price, I messaged the seller..  Here is what I sent..

Quote
You do realize, that I sold this very game to you a few months back, with a very detailed description letting the buyer know is was not a legit release, AND was a CDr game, not a pressed CD.  If you do not remove this listing or at the very least give a more detailed description, I will be reporting this to eBay.  It is unfair for you to try and take advantage of someone that is ignorant of the item in question.  Also, this is not a RARE game, the item can be bought for WAY less than your insane Buy It Now price.  http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/  


I thought the name sounded familiar when I clicked on the auction, he just bought this from me towards the end of the summer, and paid about what I paid when I bought it directly from anime4ever.
