That's the same assclown that continually relists the $64k collection.
U.S. Collection: 98% complete    157/161 titles

There's no list in the description, but it looks like it works out to $1000 per game.

I love how he basically said "Just look at the pics, and f*ck you" in the description.

And even by generous ebay pricing that's a $2500 lot of games.

I don't understand the inflation of Turbo games lately. Even when an auction on ebay starts at .99 the price gets way out of control for even some common games.

I bought this same exact game on ebay a year ago for $25 with free shipping.

On the other hand, BINs on the common titles seem to be coming down a bit from what I've seen. True, it's only on loose hueys, but I never was one to fixate on having all my games complete, so when I'm able to start shopping again I might possibly be able to save a few bucks.
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Checking the hundred most recent completed listings just now, only about half the ones that sold had prices that were truly ridiculous and quite a few of the ones that were ludicrously overpriced didn't sell, so things may not be as bad as they look.

begin the bidding war.

set the next price precedent.

prices will not stabilize or decrease until all of the big spenders have a copy, and all of the sellers find their wares aren't moving.

I don't see any super CD dropping any time... ever. I think TG16 has officially entered the crazy realm of Neo Geo collecting.
Hey, you.

Always tough to say it is a "gouge" when people are bidding, but that is a high price.  I haven't seen a boxed copy of that game...  ever?  That is surely the cause.

A copy without the box sold for $80 a few weeks ago.

Did anyone see this BIN? The seller does not list titles bing sold and you can't even see all the titles being sold.
