quick search reveals these two beauties at only more than £100 of similar ones listed right next to them

I don't even understand what these things are?  Is there a console in the box?  Why the hell would anyone give a shit about a brown cardboard box?  If you collect boxes, you collect them so that they can be displayed them.  Why would I want this ugly piece of shit anywhere near my gaming shelf?
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

"Very rare to find one on eBay in perfect working condition"

Reality: it's very rare to find one on eBay that isn't brand new and in perfect working condition.

If you scrolled down, you'd see he shows what's inside, though I agree it was pretty dumb to put the image of a brown cardboard box first... Both links are the same, that modded PAL TurboGrafx-16 with Blazing Lasers as a pack-in game.

Anyhow, this is profiteering because the source is an online store that still has them in stock for only £64.90.

http://Consolegoods.co.uk
http://www.robwebb1.plus.com/pce/pce.htm - (The first item in this link)

The other modded ones are out of stock, though. Checking further, yeah, the eBay links are of the same basic one which is in stock (nothing special, like a RGB or region mod with what they're selling).

I'm looking on ebay at prices for games that I'd like to have the English versions of (RPG's mostly) and it's pretty disheartening. I knew some were awful (Dungeon Explorer 2) but I had no idea some of these were so high (Beyond Shadowgate, Might & Magic III, Exile 2) I guess supply just does not meet demand on these. Price does seem excessive though.
