Utter bullshit.

Looks like an auction that started at $0.01. Unless it was full of shill bids, I guess that's a legit price.

Mysterious Song gouging. In their defence they might not know they're a second pressing.

Mysterious Song for $75 starting bid.


Or he knows and wants to cash in before the reprints start shipping.  But Rover has a listing too, so I doubt he's gonna find any suckers.

The seller of that game is a member here and had to sell most of their collection to cover medical issues. Good guy, has sold most of his higher priced games already....
Titles to complete... Caught them all....

Think that was the same guy who sold Magical Chase and had a Thread here about. Said he would try to scan the manual. Guess he forgot. Meh.

Was Blazing Lazers ever sold sealed in case only? Maybe in Europe?

That was probably pulled from a PAL Turbobgrafx box.

Blazing Lazers cic $175 BIN

There are multiple sealed copies on eBay for less.  I don't understand how this could have occurred.  I'm genuinely curious to know what this person was thinking.

And you gotta love this choice quote from the auction:
Quote
hardly used was more of a collection
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.

Probably a stupid Q considering how many pages and fans THIS thread has but is there a thread for GOOD found ebay deals?

I got a CIC Bravoman for 22$ the other night. I was pretty happy with that.
