Looking at his other auctions, I think he has no method of coming up with prices for his stuff.

Agreed, I don't understand why some sellers do this. Just looking for offers I guess, while scaring away 90% of the buyers interested

Not turbo stuff....but equally retarded ebay crap:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/162253451715

So i can pay $60 for a crappy game that doesn't work? Thats amazing. I also love the confusing description:

 "This includes the case, artwork, manual, and game disc with a large amount of scratches. The game does not work, but has no damage so it may be repairable."

Wait say again?? Game disc with a large amount of scratches but has no damage? *head a splode*

Maybe the console being used to test the game was broken? It's still not worth the $60 risk, not sure what that game even sells for

I've seen this before, where a game doesn't have any scratches, but rather it has scratches.

Could be a bad resurfacing job.

UPDATE: I  was reading this thread and scratching my head for the past minute. WHY? Because I had somehow landed on the FIRST PAGE and didn't realize it. I said, "Damn! It's been a long time since ______ has posted, but now he's back!"

Turns out, I have lost the ability recognize the difference between "August 2010" and "August 2017"...

ALSO: 7 years? Damn.

Just browsing around ebay and noticed this: Coryoon currently at £310

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coryoon-PC-Engine-HuCard-Japan-jpn-grafx-duo-r-super-turbo-lt-16-console-core-gt-/332334086762?hash=item4d60a7ba6a:g:w1kAAOSwi8VZRs8o

With a listing note

"I have had to relist this item due to the non-paying winning bidder"

Interesting that I have not seen this listing before.  Taking a look at the other auctions the seller has..... What a surprise ...... Many with

'I have had to relist this item due to the non-paying winning bidder XYX'

I'd think that if you were serious about selling a stack of games for $20,000 that you'd list all of the games in the body of the message.  With no list and without individual pictures of half the games in the first stack indicates to me one of two things.  This guy would quite possibly rip you off and only give you some of the games in that stack, or that this guy either doesn't actually want to sell his stuff and is being forced into it by somebody else and is intentionally making the shadiest auction he can.

"Baby, I tried to sell my games, but they just didn't sell.  Nobody wants them.  That's what they're worth, I'm not going to just GIVE them away!"
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

they cancelled the $20k listing.

now only 8 of the games are available for that incredible low price

That twat has no intention of selling a damn thing on ebay.  It's either lame bragging (look at my rarez!) or a lure for off ebay sales (possibly scams).

Look at his feedback: it's all as a buyer with not a single one from selling.

Yep. I believe this idiot has been outed many times.
