We laugh and think nah, he'll never find a sucker for that, but I remember the guy that sold that clear plastic cartridge bag for, what was it, $20-$30 or something... :/

Wait...did he actually sell it? I know he was attempting to sell it...

:)
I thought I remember it being sold.

Christopher Brown?  Or the fact that they were all sent to Indiana and are now being sold from Canada?

What's the deal with the labels?  Somebody from here?

I have to buy an issue or two myself to fill in some holes where I think there were delivery problems, it kills me it will have someone else's name on those issues.

CA in this case is California I think.

The name on the magazines, however, belongs to a revered member. Makes me sad to see these on the bay for megabux, because I'm sure they were sold for a fair price by him originally.

Can't imagine someone will spring $700 just for magazines and some books.  At least I hope not...

About as dumb as someone spending $$$ for a card board box.

The labels are easy enough to peel off. Pm me if you want my super secret top secret technique.

Oh I wouldn't risk doing that!  I still have to see which ones I'm missing, it's only 1 or 2 I think.

Hunh?  The system is included, just no pack in game.  Still too high though...

The auction page definitely states "Located in Canada".

Not eBay but gouging related.  In Disc Replay in Flint, MI they had a couple TG-16 games in case with manual: Darkwing Duck and Cadash. Their price?  $150 each.  Cadash is probably 1/3 on eBay (and still too much) but Darkwing Duck WTF?? Why so expensive?

(sorry for bad picture, cheap shit cell phone camera)

They had another rare gem and someone with a bad case of tourette syndrome was hitting the keypad too many times:

I don't care for "Not for Resale" variation but there's about 2 9's too many somewhere to the left of decimal point.

If that is the gray version, that is actually pretty much the going rate for that cart. Its hard to tell from the photo.
Hey, you.
