The Keith Courage and Ziploc baggie auctions are indeed from fellow members; word on the street is that they're in it for teh lulz.

Let's hope it doesn't end like the last lulz...  I think the "market price" of Dynastic Hero got doubled...

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

Fixed.

I think that's almost double what the last copy of the booby game sold for on ebay. 


Boxed, complete copy of Neutopia II for a measly $247 shipped. 

[geise]

Well I better get my complete Neutopia II ready for sale since every copy ever is worth that price now.

geise when you put yours up on eBay create it with a BIN for $246 shipped.  That should piss off the $247 guy.

that place is like 10 minutes from me. direct marketing? it's a freaking warehouse that buys crap that others can't get rid of . . . . like said book.

I was curious to find out what the deal was with those worthless books.  Here is what I found out:
The publisher has an automated program to grab wikipedia articles and automatically edit them into a "book".  The publisher software then gets the proper ISBN number and then here is the scammy part:  The books are only printed on a "on demand" basis so someone has to actually order them before they will be printed.  People then request the books through a public or university library and the automatic systems in place there buys them (from Amazon).  After a publisher sells a certain number of books through Amazon they will start automatically stocking physical copies of the book.  That is what has happened and now Amazon has caught on and has dumped the worthless books off to a company that buys overstocked stuff.  Unfortunately the new owner of the books has no idea that they are worthless and will probably just dump them off on another company in a year or so.

Read the description... Wow

[Necromancer]

That's pretty scuffed up for something only used once or twice..... how does the system get wear and tear while stored in a box?

That's what I was saying, and how does the handle rip after being in storage for so long

[Necromancer]

I can see the outside of the box getting jacked up from being shuffled around on the shelf, though obviously not if it was stored inside another box.

Clearly, the seller participates in XTREME GAMING and played TG-16 whilst scaling a frozen cliff.
