:lol:  In Columbia, SC I believe 4 years ago I walked into this import games store called Software Seconds.  They had Terraforming for $100.  Then I thought they were out of their minds.  I think HenrySC probably bought that copy and the rest of the decent turbo stuff.  So ridiculous how it's gotten.

The guy posting the rares is a video game publisher.... He got a fair amount of them for free.... However he has been getting big money for them already... They are all mint most in the boxes. Air zonk cd went for $850 in less than 6 hours...  Look at where cotton is....

Didn't he start 'em all at a buck?  Since his description is pretty straightforward and not filled with BS stories about its worth, blame the bidders.

Yeah. He has what looks like high-ish BINs, but that's just the BIN, no idea what the reserve is. And the BIN isn't far off from what some of those have gone for recently.

Wow! since when did Cotton become so expensive?

Looks like it became that expensive at May-21-14 22:01:55 PDT, when someone offered to pay at least $605.99.

Didn't Terraforming go for $750 a few weeks back? Super Air Zonk as well? I ain't saying that's chump change.

Sparky could have deprived this seller of $900, and eBay of $100, by keeping a cheaper set of labels on eBay at all times. That would be the true "f*ck you" to eBay, and people overpricing shitty labels. 


Ya man your right, I don't know what to say.. Sure I could sell these on eBay but it feels wrong to me, I don't want to deal with the instant collectors or maybe ebay resellers over there, you take the time to join a forum like this there should be advantages (( points to me )) :)

At the end of the day, its your business. Plus, I doubt eBay would really care about losing that $100. They make so much money off sales, its absurd.
Hey, you.
