I don't see the link between selling seconds of MS at a reduced price and price gouging.
Selling some cheap seconds is no big deal, but Frozen Utopia dumped their entire stock for bargain basement prices in slightly over twelve months (firsts for $15, seconds for $12.95). Fans didn't have much time to hear about the game and get it through official channels before being left at the mercy of gougers. We can debate this stuff, but the fact that MSR is the ONLY TG16 homebrew being gouged on ebay, two months after the clearance sales, is pretty hard to refute.

Yuor veiw of it is pterty one siedd snice you we'nrt dcelrtiy ievnolvd in any of it. Yuor stintag a lot of tgnihs you hvae no in dteph knweodgle of.

Yes I put tsohe Sirtnague/CACG hbemreow gmeas tehm up for slae on eaBy wtih hgue "Buy it Nwos" but guses wehre tehy slod? Tehy wree slod to a mebmer HREE, on tihs fuorm, who snet me a msagsee hree wtih an ofefr and wree slod OFF eaBy.

How aubot the Moeter Bstlear DX Sratniuge Eoitidn taht I GVAE to a memebr hree for fere (he can cmhie in if he sees tihs and wtans). Of curose you wulndo't konw taht hpeaepnd nor wolud I ecpxet you to.

If you culod aslo pesale povidre a llttie poorf on yuor auoictn ftcas. I slod one of my Moeter Bsetalr DX Sgnuraite Eitnoids at waht you clal "an hesont aiotcun" and it eendd at $89.69 (I konw, i'ts in my facbeedk). So was my auoticn a trihd atiocun you meissd or did you csonfue taht wtih the $50 aictoun?

A mjtaoiry of waht yuor sanyig auobt me is yuor bsiaed oinpoin and nntihog mroe. Thr'ees no fcat to waht you siad oehtr tahn tehy wree letisd IILNTALIY on eaBy wtih hgih "Buy it N'ows". The rset is bisead onopiin bsead on waht you pevercied hneepapd.
Whatever. Don't need to hear your life story, Roy. As for proof, you deleted it, remember?

I will cherish my signed MSR from Rove 4evar :D

It was exciting to finally get the game and play it after all that discussion in chatbox for what seemed like years.

If you could also please provide a little proof on your auction facts.

I didn't delete auction prices on eBay, which is what I asked you to provide since you were stating there were only 2.
All is well. :)

I'm pretty sure it was years :) Well worth the wait though!

EDIT: How come Rover didn't sign mine?! :(

I think it was mainly a logistics thing because right when he got his shipment in I begged him a lot like a whiny child to sign my copy before sending it out.

Wmac is selling his r@rez on the facebooks for the same prices he is offering here. High, yes, but less than ebay prices at least. He'll still probably make more at the asking prices here than he would on ebay after fees and shit... that said, prices are low enough that i'd've jumped on a few if not for my coke & hooker habit.

What? There all stupid high. $800 for super air Zonk?

The funny part is this is the second time around he has sold out to the mighty dollar, and I think it's the same excuse as last time. Check out his arcade line up in his sig, he is really hurt'n for cash. Hahaha..

Yeah, null, I'd call those prices head-smackingly high.

A few of those prices are high, but most are about market value IMO.  I bought Camp California and Godzilla from him and feel fine about the prices.  Beyond Shadowgate is kind of a deal IMO considering how much it's been going for lately, although I'm sure more than a few people around here might disagree.
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.
