What a dickhead and his auto decline when you give him a best offer. Spam him with 1 dollar offers guys!



That's a $150 game tops. ...and that's pushing it.

Funny you should say that, that was my first offer and then I started spamming him with $1 offers.

I put in a offer of $1000. Got auto declined. Irritating. I wants a Laseractive!


It's not just a Laseractive, it is a NEC branded Laseractive. So much obey in one package, he basically got himself a license to gouge!

lol but really, not even tossing in Magical Chase and Bonk 3 CD in the pack to get to that absurd price.



obey??  eh....  That doesn't give him a license to gouge.

By the way is it licence or license? I saw both of them in different covers of Licen(c/s)e To Kill, I am confused.

If that plcards guy is a member here, then I apologize in advance for calling you out, but I bought a copy of Sinistron from him a year or two ago. He had one blurry photo but listed the game as Very Good. It came to me looking like junk. Worn, scratched Turbochip and scuffed/frayed manual. It played fine, so I didn't return it, but I pointed out to him that he should be more careful with his descriptions in the future.

He gave me some ration of crap about how I was being too picky and then bizarrely asked me to return the game, for which he was going to refund my money and send me some other game, for free. It was unexpected and out of the blue after he was giving me such a hard time for being dissatisfied, so I became wary and declined. What a weirdo. I don't buy from him anymore.
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

I bought from him a year ago.  I had an almost identical problem.  Same refund scenario was offered.  Like I'm going to send something back from Canada.  It's not worth my time or money.

Here's another one;

$1600 starting bin.  But it's NEW!  NEW!  Never taken out of the box!  You are liar!  People are nuts.  This auction is a kaleidoscope of colours.  eBay should fine people for auctions that look like HTML webpages from 1990.

So out of curiosity i noticed after this that pl-ass has best offers on his items. So i wanted to see what would happen if i best offered soething reasonable. 25 for a game listed at 28 with free shipping. It was auto declined.  So i sent another, who cares if i spend a few buck more on a game i want to play? Although condtion looked okay but not great.
 Long story short...26 on a 28 dollar item was auto declined. What a pile of horse manure this guy is.  Why even have an offer button?

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!

Do I spot a sparky label in there as well?

I don't think so.  Sparky's labels are black (not white) beyond the curved color tab, these look to have a too small radius on the tab, and Bonk 3 is the wrong color.

Yea, I looked closer at the other pictures and they appear to be the ones available of less quality else where

Man... $500.  I could even justify $100, but it's just a nylon bag.  Very nice condition, but c'mon.  What happened to auctions on an auction website?  eBay is so flawed.

Why even have an offer button?

Increases the likelihood that some jackass will just hit the buy it now button. If people see offers made on the item, some idiots will buy it now so they'll get it instead of the folks making the offers.

Or it could be so you can offer him more for it than the asking price? :P
