Bahhhhaahahahahaha!
Mine is like the cheapest "complete" copy up right now via minimum bid amount, and it includes free insured shipping with tracking via that minimum bid. It's either that, or go buy this one:

Those are the only other two up, both located in Japan, neither are complete, and for the price they list with shipping, neither will be shipped insured and take twice as long to arrive to any US buyer at their price. So I say have at it cowboy, because I have no intention to sell to you, here or otherwise.
I swear, the stupid petty things people do when no one will reply back to or sell to them on a forum.
Well you did change the price from $44.99 or $42.99 after I posted this so I guess that was good on your part to consider the community in the price decrease...... But still, average selling price on ebay is $15-20
Just trying to keep things real in the gouging thread here, don't want anyone to spend too much for such a common game.

Oh please. How much rope do you need to hang yourself in your goal to supposedly protect the community. Something you so easily forgotten is that I posted anything listed on ebay I would pull for someone here if the price was close to minimum bid. Since then I have pulled down items for members here and sold them to them for that price, or close to, in Forgotten Worlds case. You read the thread, you messaged me about it, so this is not new info to you kiddo. You have zero idea what I am actually doing, what my sales goals are, or whom I am even selling to. You should not be publicly speculating in a attempt to tarnish someone about shit you know nothing about. You have no idea how much I paid for the game originally to begin with. Nor have you factored in any end of auction fees into the final amount if it sales on ebay.
Dont make it out like I am trying to get rich and profit off the game. If I get the current BIN it is set at, I will almost break even. I paid $36 for the game before shipping originally. The end auction fee for the BIN will be $4.30. Shipping with insurance and tracking will be another $4.50 or so. That leaves about $34. This is not even factoring in the paypal fee. At the minimum bid, I will obviously take a larger loss. Thats fine. If it wasn't I would not have put on there a minimum bid
AT ALL. As for the original BIN price, it was adjusted, but not because of you. I adjusted prices on most all of my items, including computer related stuff. I do this often on ebay, as it suits my needs. I did it twice this past week on multiple items.
Concerning game prices, I am still unpacking from my move, so I dont have thousands of hours to research for people in order for them to save 2 bucks when they buy from me because they managed to dig up a link to a worse condition copy that is shipped uninsured via 4 week long international snail mail methods from the Middle of Nowhere, Asia. Due to that on the auctions and in pms I have been taking a quick glance at current listings and sold copies and trying to base prices off of that for the past 2 weeks of sales.
You don't follow my auctions or even have the slightest idea about my selling habits, so all of this is out of your ability to know or understand. You jumped the gun due to petty motivations. It was lame. You want to protect the community big guy, go point fingers at the other sellers selling incomplete copies for as much as mine, if not more. f*ck off already. In your attempt to slander me as a seller you have totally forgotten the goal of this thread, to point out REAL gouging (if you dont know what that means kid, it means
LARGE PROFITS) . My prices are reasonable, and adjustable, and are based on completeness of the item along with condition, and somewhat according to what I originally paid. Anyone who has dealt with me knows that is my selling habit. You have not dealt with me, and I will not sell to you, now, or ever.
As stated in my sales thread here, anyone here is welcome to message me if they want the game for the minimum bid amount. As long as you're not some petty assf*cker like Punknic, or some overly zealous about ultra penny pinching new guy with under 200 post anyway. Some items I will be listing on ebay that are higher profile I may ask for a slight bit more then the minimum bid, but it will be negotiable. Flat out, I am not willing to sell to just anyone here. I dont need the hassle, or the cash bad enough, and outside of my circle of friends, I don't
owe anyone anything as it were, including drastic discounts, so no one here is entitled to shit from me.
It is already more beneficial for me to sell on ebay, not due to huge profits like most of you would think, but simply because I get better records of the income made, I don't have to handle as many messages back and forth, it helps my seller stats which is important for my computer sales, seller protection against scammers, etc. If you are some new guy here with no buyer rep and I don't know who you are, then I probably wont deal with you. If I do reply back and you give me any sort of attitude, then you will get one in return, along with the inability to buy from me on the forum. I don't need your shit, even a inkling of it, nor do I need your money. That is why you don't see me desperately bumping my sales thread.
I was already considering not selling on this forum anymore as is. After that "lets bootleg and re-release other peoples IP" thread and me stating my peace concerning the matter, someone here put someone in Michigan up to buying a computer off me, who then trashed it and stole items out of it, then sent it back, then did a chargeback. It got linked to this forum because they then decided it would be best sending me a email after it was all said and done implicating someone from this forum (they did not say who, it was basically a big "f*ck you, from the folks at PCEFX" type message from the buyers email), its being investigated currently by the proper authorities (Herc knows some of the small details about it, but not everything as I chose to keep a lid on it while it is being investigated). I don't care to punish this forum for the actions of one or two clowns who would stoop so low as to pull shit like that, but for the past few weeks it has really made me reconsider doing any sales here. Punknic and his bullshit are not helping the matter one bit.
