Couldn't help notice the PCE-LT in the related items tab. I'm not familiar with the LT's value, but seeing as how a seller is asking close to $1,000 for it, I'm assuming it might be lower? 
My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

Speaking of stuff being relisted with higher prices, did that one Bonk 3 Manual finally sell?

This one must be a joke right? American version?

Just some a$$hole selling a patched iso on a cdr. I reported it, not that it really matters.

Interestiing, well done because someone without knowlegde that the game was Japan only would had probably wasted a lot of money on a burned ISO.  [-X

O man, That Castlevania must be a American prototype.

It is unfortunate that someone could make the mistake that they think its actually a real game, but its also their fault for not checking/doing any amount of research.

Switchzx's amazing quote -
"I was starting with the hardest to get games first. I realized I was never going to get Magical Chase so gave up on it all, sold up and got out."


Blueraven's quote - "it begins."

Anyone see this listing? Some crazy stuff





Besides the insane price tag, it's rediculiously unorganized. Like even if he is trying to find a legitimate buyer, they have to know what they're buying before they bid

Like there's so much stuff, i'm noticing more and more stuff every time I look.

WTF!?!? Did that seller happen across a lost and forgotten warehouse?

That same lot has been posted for many years, with the hard to view contents with expensive stuff weaved throughout.

It used to be cheaper and it may have been a different seller, since I see this one has no feedback.  Or it could be the same guy and same name I saw posting years ago and he has just never completed a transaction.

It's such a weird listing, the seller hasn't had feedback since 2008. It's so old it doesn't even register as feedback anymore. He's also had an account since 2000. Looks like he added some more pictures since of last night, which still doesn't provide 100% clarity. But I guess it's better than before.

He even added that 32X game, Spiderman Web of Fire. Either that or he just took new pictures.

Yeah, this guy has been posting the same kind of thing for at least the five years off and on.  Personally, I think he is just some troll who gets a kick out of seeing how many people click on his auction given all the keywords and pictures.

Troll for sure.  He had no intent to sell, just showing off in an obscure manner.

I first saw these postings about 5 years ago, when I tried getting the last few LA games I needed he was the only guy on ebay with the games.

I would love for some rich guy to buy this lot some day, for a scientific experiment to see if anything would actually be shipped.

I can't see an intent to sell either - because there is no real offer of "goods" -  he doesn't give any indication of what your 20K is buying.  A simple comment like "you are bidding on what you see in the pictures" would go a long way.

The seller does say that you are only bidding on "what you see in the pictures", which is hilarious because so many random items are scattered and stacked and semi-visible in the photos.

The fact that this has been ongoing auction for several years means that it has delighted/annoyed folks for a long time.
