I'm pretty sure that's another typo pricing and is supposed to be $45. Even as oblivious as eBay Vasteel buyers have been recently, trusting either crooked or oblivious sellers as to the completeness of Turbo games.

Loose System 3 card for only $200-

Well yeah, with the case it'd go for at least $1k.  Let's be realistic here, that's 80%off just because there's no plastic case to go with it!
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

Nobody buy this. I can tell when I see a system I worked on or owned before. When I sell these myself I let them go for around $200-$225. Definitely not the $499 he is asking for it.

Man… Do people not have morals any more?  Just thinking of purchasing something for cheap and flipping it for more makes me feel like I have to take a shower.

From the looks of the PCE yes I did the modifications on that one as well. Guess I missed that one.

It would be different if the guy used them for a bit and then just decided he no longer wanted them so he could buy something else. However asking over double what it is worth is kind of shady.

The same dude is trying to sell it on CL too http://cosprings.craigslist.org/vgm/4187082534.html

I wonder if it's the same guy trying to sell his Neo Geo Collection: http://cosprings.craigslist.org/vgm/4182080158.html

That's the kind of douche that gives Neo Geo enthusiasts a bad name.

I'm tempted to send him fake offers. I'm sure he's looking for some ridiculous amount of money for what amounts to a bunch of AES commons. Who would sell that on CL anyway?
