$400 BIN on a TE


Anyone else think this guy is also the same guy from Saint Louis who pretends not to speak English well.
also look at his seller feedback, one of the negatives is from canada/swiss - these guys never quit do they.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

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!

This guy is becoming PLCARDS main competition for overall douche-baggery.

Love this line in the description:
"Splatterhouse is probably the most celebrated and sought-after of all Turbo Grafx games, and this item is of museum quality."

PacIdiot - "I have no particular need or desire to part with this"  
OMG it pains him so much to part with his collection.  Guys he cares about this system so much.  It's okay if he charges outrageous amounts, and makes silly claims.  

PacIdiot - "Over the last 14 years we have shipped games and consoles all over the world." hmmmmm "we" not a reseller at all playing on emotions. What a &$(*&#head.
Making holidays shitty for gamers for 14 years.

Perfect system to play the super rare 85+ quality Cosmic Fantasy 2.  Hurry, though... there's a big 15% discount that expires in 2 days and then the price goes back up to $1,500.  At prices this low, you'd better forget about free shipping, too.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cosmic-Fantasy-2-NEW-VGA-85-VGA-GOLD-/290835676593

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations that no serious collector would even consider, such as this one:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BOXED-Cosmic-Fantasy-2-II-TurboGrafx-CD-Turbo-Duo-RPG-/251207084458
 

So does that mean we should start spamming him with $1 offers?

I think I made a reference to these Cosmic Fantasy 2 and Exile sellers in a soup line pic awhile back.

Funny thing is there was a guy selling NIB copies of both games for... i think... $15 apiece a year or so ago. I bought a copy of both.

now I guess the resellers are hoping that everyone forgot about that guy and are trying to skull-f*ck the market.

Both were up for auction 2-3 weeks ago, sealed. One went for $28, the other $30. They must be hoping for some REALLY short term memory. I was planning on bidding, but forgot to. Oh well.
Hey, you.

There is a sealed air zonk CD on eBay now for $900 BIN. I can't paste the link because iPads are gay, but the sellers description is worth reading.

He says a new one was sold for $558, but then he doubles the price for this listing and it is in worse condition.
