Heh, that guy is a right douche.
As for the Terraforming, one of the bidders driving up the price has 'private' feedback. Shill bidder?
Probably. But what is that game worth? Is there any estimate on the number of copies sold? I had a copy back in the day..wish I still did.
If I were to tell you 500 or 500,000, what would you reference that with?
I'm often interested in how many copies a lot of turbo games were printed/sold. For no other reason then curiosity. I have a deep interest in the history of the video game business, so these numbers always intrigue me. Oh well.
I am too. Unfortunately, the moment a number is quoted, gougers and gullible collectors alike will use it to justify limitless collector prices. It literally becomes limited edition to those people (who have taken over the Turbo market).
But separate from that, whatever the exact numbers of any game sold or produced are, it is meaningless when it comes to "rarity". No one knows what the legitimate demand is, so the number if current copies in existence only fuels imagination. With so many resellers sitting on stacks of the same rarer Turbo games, Magical Chase and Dynastic Hero could each be more common than Bonk's Adventure for all we know. They control the "fair market value" either way.
