Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

[crazydean]

Lol. Just took a look at the most expensive video games on ebay and it's hilarious. Somebody thought it a good idea to VGA grade a NES prototype.

Also, who doesn't need 1000 Super Famicom consoles?

uh, honestly?  $9.50 shipped is a pretty good price for a Super Famicom imo...

[crazydean]

$9.50 is a good price for a SFC, but I can't imagine ordering 1000 of them at a time. Even as a business, who would want that much hassle?

Did you see the winning price of the Dracula X bootleg??

I don't know if I want to laugh or cry, maybe both.

What a shame.

I remember putting this in my watch history because sometimes I like to see how high things get, but when you posted the final price I was like hawt dayum!!! Most likely what the others are saying is that it is shill bidding, but sometimes there is that one idiot who has more money than sense.  It is still unfortunate, for what it is happening to Rondo of Blood

I can't even imagine there would be 1000 people in the US who would want a SFC, even at that price after you factor in domestic shipping.  You also need to assume some percentage of them would be broken in some way as well, and unless there is a test cart to run a hardware analysis on the system the testing alone to ensure working status would take a loooong time.

Auction # 262091918737

Yet another pce works disc only, different seller.  There was a bootleg rondo x disc yesterday, but it has already been pulled.

Oh, and i dont mind sitting on the other purchase just to neg him.  My account is in good standing and it takes quite a few unpaid item strikes to get suspended.  I sell on a business account for a company, and theres tons of non paying bidders every month.  Ebay doesnt care to address the problem since it is a seller problem.

Fake game is fake.

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Yeah he admits its a "copied version" in the auction lol. 

[Necromancer]

What a twat.

And will ebay do anything about it?  f*ck NO!  I hope they eventually get raped by the goverats for knowingly allowing fakes to be sold.

It's times like these I wish I could post on the auction page with links to the ISO, CD-Rs, and Sharpie.

lol the fake copy costs more than the real copy used to cost when the game first came out.

this hobby has hit rock bottom 

[neopolss]

Fortunately his fake did get pulled.  Now there is a "repro" beyond shadowgate pce memories edition up for auction.  Is "repro" the magic word for dodging the dreaded bootleg label?
