Seller is a complete shitbag too. Begged a guy to come down from $4500 to $3200 on a copy of Magical Chase, only to list and sell it on eBay for $5,000. I know the guy that sold it to him, so this story is 100% fact.

If that's the same Toy Machine as Zero Gamer here, hopefully he isn't leveraging deals here and in other communities just to flip on eBay for profit.


I actually thought this when I first joined, but I found out it wasn't the same guy. sirhcman edited his post, which makes my reply look a little confusing tbh.


Yeah I didn't know 100% one way or the other so I edited the post. I didn't want to spread bad info about toymachine/zero_gamer if it wasn't in fact him. Glad to hear it is not!

Wow, guess I shouldn't have sold my mint bonk III CD a year and a half ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bonk-3-Bonks-Big-Adventure-TurboGrafx-CD-1993-SEALED-/282551048251?epid=61664422&hash=item41c95ad83b:g:sO8AAOSwwvZZVrjw


This isn't even gouging. Just insane bidders.

People were actually paying that much occasionally for CIC copies back then.

The skies the limit for what appears to be a NEW!/sealed copy.

Aww, it's not garbage.  :|

Abused and stupidly overpriced, sure, but it's still a Turbob.  I'm sure chops/steve/etc. could get it bring it back to life, ready to provide hours of obey to a lucky home.

Yeah, it is sad. Hoping the seller doesn't give up on it and just chuck it into the trash. Hoping someone can grab it and bring it back to life.


Also, this part of the description is killing me...  :lol:
