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

I went to a used game shop in Austin a bit ago and they had many in case copies of Kieth Courage.  They were $2 and I figured "$2 is worth an original case" so I picked them up.  I checked just now, and one actually had a tab in it.  I took the sticker off and don't recall doing that for any other games so apparently some copies have said tab.

Is it an original orange sticker on the case? Not a repro  sticker?

My perspective may be skewed with my own early TG-16 anecdotes...but I've only seen no-tab Keith Courage jewel cases.

Then again, it doesn't make any sense for someone to "repro" a Keith Courage...so I guess I must be wrong.

Ha!

Who are the morons buying these? http://www.ebay.com/csc/privatesectorgoods/m.html?LH_Complete=1&_ipg=200&_since=15&_sop=13&_rdc=1



Maybe he makes them.  Converted a bunch of Keith Courage cases.


I asked who the morons are BUYING them! Also I think most (if not all) KC cases did not have the tab


Yeah, I'm 90% sure all Keith cases are the same as PCE ones, it was only later US titles that came with the little clear holder tab thingy.

They're similar to PCE cases, but I don't think any PCE games had the glue dot.

The PCE cases had little foam pieces. The actual case for Keith Courage/PCE games is a much better case than the standard Turbo case with the clip. The PCE case mold was actually made for the case and the quality of the part shows it: no mold marks on the inside and a nice texture on the back.  The Turbo case mold was a recycled standard CD jewel case that was repurposed to make the Turbo cases.  You can see this where the raised pieces that hold the card in place were machined in after the fact and how the back of the case is smooth and shiny like a normal jewel case finish would be.  It was always odd to me that NEC spent all that money to retool the hucard case just for the Turbo market.

I was looking for an Intellivision game on eBay which recently sold for $65 CIB. All the current CIB copies are super overpriced, but there was one loose incomplete copy for $45. It was an auction only and I didn't bid because it's overpriced and described as kinda working.

I just saw that after it failed to sell, the seller immediately relisted it for $60. :P I wonder how high it will get as they continue to relist it for more?

I'm surprised eBay has not been on that. They are pretty specific about auctions noting the correct condition. Brand new that is not.
