wolfman, you really need to figure out the quote thing.  Putting what you're saying in the middle of an old quote makes it look horrible. Post what you want to say BELOW the quote brackets
All is well. :)

That's nothing, he's also selling a PCE Duo with substitute AC adaptor, mismatched pads and Dracula X for $1000:

Is it common for those Super CD Rom add-ons to fade like that?

side topic:
Can somebody check this auction and tell me what you see for a shipping price?
When I look, it says $11.90.  I PM'd the seller and asked him if that was to ship it overnight because 12 for a huey is crazy.
He responded and said it's set at $6 and he doesn't know why I see $11.90.

ok, he must have it on some kind of "calculated shipping" based on zip code and not realize it.
thanks Bklyn.

He is mistaken - the only way to get $6.50 is if you have a St Louis zip code.  The price varies by zip code, for Canada it is $20 plus $12 in brokerage...

Right, so when he looks at it, Ebay recognizes his zip code as St Louis (duh!) and displays $6.50.
what a dolt.  But I want a loose 1943, and it doesn't come up often from a USA seller.  But I'm not willing to go $37 even if I win the $25 bid.

(cue BlackTiger with a long list of dirt cheap USA sold listings...  :D)

He started it at 200. I'm surprised it got bid up that high.
Personally, I have no problems with this seller.  :D

Galam got it, and hes an awesome member of this forum. I know if he some day decides to sell it, it will be sold here at a fair price

Ah yeah, I guess that isn't really "gouging"--but this seems like the de facto thread for discussing high prices.  Obviously you have no problem with the Dynastic Hero he sold you for $150 ;)

You noticed that too? I was very upset when I saw that... hope somebody deserving got it at least ](*,)

Nuycccce!
