Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

[Black Tiger]

Im curious what would be the correct price for Bonk 3? Just in case I spot one and need to know what its really worth?

Taking a note from what forum members here say is important. That message is usually the same from everyone and that is: BE PATIENT!  I bought a game lot on eBay and resold the stuff I didn't want/need here on the forums. My Bonk 3 loosie ended up costing me less than $15. Take your time, Turbo games go up and down in price.

15$!! Holy Shit that is an awesome price....I see a neutopia 2 complete on ebay and put a max bid on it for 100$ and its already at 84$...Your right they do fluctuate...cuz i know i saw one on ebay last month end at 75$..

Do you think 'im getting gouged at 100$ knowing probably i wont win?

$100 would be getting high for a CIB copy depending on condition. What you are bidding on is just a loose card and manual (it came with a plastic insert and cardboard box). If it's not too roughed up, the most you should pay is $50. A local gouging store has it for $60 and they want $140+ for Bonk 3.

Well when i don't win...i will look for better deals to use my gift card on....

Thanks for all the knowledge guys...i'm learning alot bout the various ways games were originally sold...didn't know that neutopia 2 or bonk 3 were just box, card, and manual....

what happened did they get greedy near the end of the run and skimp out on the hucard cases and spine labels?

There are threads about packaging. You should learn what each game came with before considering paying collectors prices for them. Depending on the game, the level of completeness plays a huge role in values.

Glad you still have this as a resource.

If you are even hinting at Roy for price inflation, from my experience, you are ass backward.

That copy of Exile 2 in there looks like the one I bought a couple years ago with sharpie through the UPC on the slipcase.  That was a saddening experience because all the photos of the item had been taken to perfectly hide the defect and then when I mentioned it to the seller after getting the item they feigned ignorance about the whole thing.

The whole "I know nothing" game eh?  Yeah plenty of those in the ebay world.  Sadly a lot of it comes with buying Turbo games.  The way prices are now with Turbo stuff it's hard to not want games you buy to be in great condition.  What's sad about it is the fact that the games are being harder and harder to come by.  When they are it's usually not the best condition but a premium price.

Yep and two+ years going strong of not selling it. Posted many times before.

You'd think he'd reduce his price eventually, or at least post a real photo of the item.

Think this one is going to get out of control?

I'm in.

I'd like to be, but I know it's going to go for way more than I'd be willing to pay. So I'll just sit on the sidelines and watch the chaos... it'll be like watching soccer mom's going nuts over the last "tickle me elmo" at toys r us on black friday
