What the heck, he says it is NEW even though it has scratches, supposedly his cat did it.. :shock:

This guy is nuts.
Part of me wants ebay to ban BIN and require all auctions to start at 0.99 USD.


Yeah because all the good deals that can be had on items not related to some video game platform is a bad thing.............
It would be the nuclear option. BIN definitely has value on many products but it's an option being abused by the neckbeards in the collecting community.

I'm not saying that there aren't actual "new" things on ebay, but I swear that word in the item description is irrelevant to the item's actual condition and whether or not it's actually been used.
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

I was gonna post this, I email him asking him what's up with the price, that these could be purchases for around 80$ shipped brand new and this is his response,

Yes you can,some resellers buy them for $15.00 and sale them for $80

My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

You're the one that took shots at Romney's sons for no good reason and you probably don't even know their names, an attack that is as if you can't find rich democrats and their kids. You're still gloating that he won, in here?

I didn't gloat. Their names are not worth knowing...I said nothing bout democrats or republicans...your the one who made that connection.

Anyways what I was saying is that I'm not expecting to find magical chase...I'm not even looking for it there...and its not worth the price that the ones can afford it buy it for.
