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

[Bernie]

Dear jimilee2012,

Hello again (thanks for all your purchases from us on ebay and on our store site). Yeah, I get some funny comments on this listing. But I am not sure I want to sell it, so I actually keep raising the price. I at one time had it listed at $350, and the highest offer option on it. Highest offer ranged from $30 to $250, that I still turned down, because minimum wanted was $300.

It is the only one I have seen ever listed, so I am not looking to unload it for cheap.

The response I got from them on the Gate of Thunder auction.

Can I use the "R" word here???  Whatever, I'm going to...what a Retard!!

Maybe something they added later once word got out?

I honestly don't know for sure.  I do know that the card does exist and I've only seen it twice and I lost both auctions quite awhile back.  Main thing i remember is at the top of the card it said "Surprise!!!!!!" with wording underneath it.  I've been looking since my last post to try to find a picture on the net but no luck.  Maybe someone else here has one.. Then again, maybe a thread about it might be more beneficial rather than randomly coming across it in this thread.

Ok I admitted! =)

I snapped that Bonk 3 Cd and won $224 BONK 3 CIB  it is in my collection now!..

I haven't seen enough Bonk 3 CD sales to know where this belongs:

Bonk 3 CD - Complete in Jewel case with manual for $299.00 shipped


Maybe this actually belonged in the good deal thread?  I don't really know what the going price has been, since it pops up so rarely.

I saw it right after it was posted, and I did think about it, since it's one of the few remaining TurboGrafx-16 CD games which I don't have, but someone went ahead and jumped on it.

This is even worse than the ebay auction.

I uh...  was a casual observer of this Terraforming auction.  Quite stunned myself.  Sad day for Turbo lovers.

Likewise... I was in utter disbelief that it went for that much

I have this card. i can snap up a picture if you guys would like. It says Suprise! and talks about the free hidden game then gives you the code to access it.
