But it comes with a remote holy grail.

I want one of these bad boys. Think they'll take 1% of the asking price.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

(s)hit Japan should be inducted into the gougers hall of shame.

They can be so frustrating to deal with.  Buying controllers off them is a complete gamble.  They tend to rate them all B, whether they're near mint or completely worn out.  I got banned from them after claiming a partial refund.  Even though I never gave them any negs and spent shit tons with them.

Vic Ireland sold this game to me personally and was kind enough to sign it.

So now I'm flipping it for hundreds of dollars.

I'm surprised he didn't VGA it.

But then I think it's VGA policy on grading that a signed game actually LOWERS its value, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe a bad time to mention I have a few Metal Gear Solid things signed by Kojima & Shinkawa.

I thought it was signed by rarebucky. Does that mean my signed Sega Genesis by Tom Kalinske is worth billions?

I was just trying to point out the only "policy" I know of regarding signatures and value influence. Which is a little weird when you think about it. There are lots of ways folks have verified signatures on things in the past, musicians, artists, actors etc. Some game designers do signings like the MGS stuff I have signed, but I guess that it's tough enough to verify most people's signatures that VGA would rather not bother trying. They actually lower the value because it's written on.

Now I'm never planning to sell my signed MGS3... but it's awfully funny to me that something they ought to be able to verify, they treat as damage because they don't even want to try. It's weird enough seeing rarebucky try to sell something he doesn't have wrapped up in a VGA case.

Looks like they are literally trying to sell a lot of homebrew for twice what they sell for direct.

So who is Billy Goins?


EDIT: just look at his other items and he's selling a used copy of one of those brand new $50 -$70 HuCard converters for $135 (but it does include a $3 game).

Wmac

So after pulling the gouged homebrew from his sales thread he's now just trying to rip someone off on eBay?
