What a f*cking douchebag! http://www.ebay.com/itm/290814084215?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649
I don't get this listing at all.  He's asking $75, but then calling out sealed game collectors and people that use the word RARE all the time?  So he just put it up for show?

From the look of it, he is mocking these forums, or agreeing with them. He makes reference to the seller I was bitching about. (FINAL LISTING!)

I will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!


This is what makes me feel like he reads these forums, and is mocking them.

Anyway, this seems like a prank, not a legit listing. It only costs $0.05 to make a joke bullshit listing, which clearly met its intention by pissing one person off. Granted, that particular person has a pretty low threshold for being pissed off.

I can’t stress again how rare this game is, just walk into some Wal-Mart store and try to find it...YOU WONT.  Wal-Mart has everything including hillbilly hookers.....Just ask my neighbor, I think he lives there but you sure as hell wont find the almighty Keith there

I am only listing this once so you better jump all over it because once the auction is over; I am just going to list it again with another final listing threat!

one of you space cadets sitting in your basement will buy it and I will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!

it reminds me of something I might do to poke fun at the gougers whose auctions would be listed alongside mine. If anyone actually was going to pay hundreds or thousands for some BS VGA graded listing, then saw this one, they might reconsider the validity and value of the auction that wasn't posted in jest.

Combined with the fact that there are currently at least 2 auctions on Ebay that poke fun at the gougers, I would suspect that these are the product of one or more forum members who have taken their gouge-venting to the next level and are now mocking gougers on their home turf.

<<whispers>> Ya i agree with ya nullity :)

A typo or a new high?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-PC-ENGINE-SUPERCD-ROM2-CASTLEVANIA-AKUMAJO-DRACULA-X-Japan-1210-/261115346977?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccbb00021



My guess is typo, 71.99 is probably a realistic price.

EDIT: Looking at his other items, I'm not so sure. Looks like he has been smoking some good stuff, or he really sucks at trying to figure out Yen to dollar conversions.

This, however, is ridiculous:

$68 for a list of games!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/List-of-Turbografx-16-Games-/390498848417?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item5aeb8b8ea1

Sounds like the seller prints out wikipedia articles, and sells it.

This one takes the cake:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/List-of-Turbografx-16-Games-/390498848417?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item5aeb8b8ea1

"High Quality Content from Wikipedia Articles" because we all know, if it's on Wikipedia, it has to be accurate.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

$6,000 for dracula X?!? [yeah it's the SNES copy, but still are these as rare as the PC-Engine SUPER CD-ROM2 version?]

Drac x for pce is definitely not rare, it's just expensive because everyone with a pce ever wants/has a copy

The SNES version seems to be a bit rare and tends to fetch $80-120 loose from what I've seen.
