"Mint" condition TG Secrets book for $35.  Just ignore that mint corner crease.

Maybe by 'mint' they mean 'rubbed vigorously with a thin mint (girl scout cookie)'.

Clearly a storage locker seller...but than again look at the other deals available from the seller

Super Volley = $30
Boxy Boy = $30
Turican = $95
SPlatterhouse = $55

I assume they are just fishing for high best offers - or people who don't know anything to BIN. and magically everything they have is ultra rare...
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Wasn't that the guy that was selling a bunch of porn not too long ago also?

He had Turrican around $45 buy it now and I sent in a best offer of $25 to see what he would counter me at. He declined and raised the buy it now to $95. I lol'd.
All is well. :)

I offered him a Hamilton.  Any bets on him raising the BIN even higher?

Well this is priced to move. [$424.64]

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bonk-3-Bonks-Big-Adventure-TurboGrafx-16-TG-16-Turbo-Duo-Complete-w-Box-/221231586284


Your link led me to do a search on the game to see what's going on lately (wanted to see if good ole megahit79 had just the manual up for $300+) though my linky below isn't for the NEC platform... Suffice to say, it's not looking good for Bonk out there as this fine gentleman is hoping to fetch $414.95 for the NES version of "Bonk's Adventure," cart-only (another seller simultaneously asking for $264.95 doesn't faze him):

One day left, hurry!!!
