The next time you are in NJ, after I have dropped some rohypnol in your drink...I'll show you "near mint"

You're welcome.

And someone bids...

I asked the seller where they got their freebie from and this is what I got back.
Their other copy is still sealed. Wtf.

Isn't the box set from PCEWorks only $60 or something?

It's €59 so about $67. I know the box with cross and a can of red bull was more but I don't remember it being $300. I emailed tobias, or a staff member at least, to ask for a free copy to prove an albeit useless point and they mailed me back saying if there is still one lying around I can have it free of charge. Gouging is one thing but hawking a freebie like it's the ark of the covenant is pretty lame. Of course I exaggerate slightly.

Not Turbo, but the most shameless intentional gouging I've ever seen. This is a fan project, where a group ripped the content from the CD exclusive Crossed Swords 2 and got it to work as a cart game, with Crossed Swords music used in place of CD tracks. They made a bunch of physical copies, since everyone demanded it, but they were reasonably priced all things considered.

I didn't bother to buy one when I had the chance, because it wasn't worth buying over other games I wanted and it's still a compromised hack of the full version, which I can just play on CD.

This a$$hole bought one with the intent to immediately flip it for maximum profit using maximum hype.

Damn. Flippy LaRue.

Negative Feedback? Since when are eBay sellers able to leave negative feedback again?

[wilykat]

Negative Feedback? Since when are eBay sellers able to leave negative feedback again?

Not since 2008.  Either the seller's a clueless idiot who hadn't tried leaving a neg or he's stating it as a scare tactic to ward off clueless buyer who doesn't know that.
