Parting out a TurboGrafx 16 CD System, Accessories, Games etc.

I found this forum because I had a TG-CD that was slow to load games and found a lot of good info here.   This is a cool place indeed. Thanks for looking!

Hi Kevin welcome to PCEngineFX.  I actually met you at CGE, might not remember, was talking to you about CTCW and Game Gavel before the show actually started, and I was the guy behind the booth running the Game Stations.  Anyways, good luck with the sales.

Dude $60 for a tg16 ac adapter... Really??? 

Way to give back to the community bro

[MotherGunner]

Kevin, Zeta reacted that way because the community on these forums frown on people who join for the specific purpose of selling their stuff without having established themselves as contributing members first.  It's an unwritten rule.  To add insult to injury, people come here with their outrageous ebay-style gouging prices.  After, they just leave an never come back.

I suggest you start over, introduce yourself on the general forum, start a few topics, participate in a few, and after you establish yourself as a regular, try again.

Hope this helps...

Last time I checked, America was a free country.  This website is American is it not!?  I have not disrespected anyone, yet people have disrespected me.  Everyone has an opinion, if you don't like my prices, don't buy my stuff.  I have every right to join this message board and post whatever and where I please. Just because I have not right away posted things in different sections should not mean I deserve to be told what to do and talked down to.  I have had very little free time to participate in any video game discussions, even though I love video games.  Why?  I've been working 2 jobs, and taking care of / raising money for my mother who has been dying from cancer, and infact passed away yesterday morning.  So that is why I am focused on only selling right now.  I bet you feel good about yourself now...  Time to get off your holier than though high horse, and step down from the podium.

I wouldn't mind getting that tgcd ac adapter but you'll have to make me a MUCH better deal on it.

[KevInCal]

I do my auctions dutch style, which means I start high and if they dont sell I lower the price.......  I don't see what the problem is with my price on the tgcd ac, it's in the ballpark of what they sell for on ebay...  Each and every item I list on ebay, I research what they sell for to come up with my price.  The problem is, at video game forums, most people know what stuff is worth and hardly ever want to pay full price, especially these days with the bad economy and almost everyone struggling with money problems.  Everyone is looking for a steal, so someone like me who sells things at market value, I get a lot of people butt hurt that I won't give them a steal.  It's because I am not desperate for money because I am smart with my money.   So I can sit on things for a long time.  I must be doing something right because I am a Power Seller on ebay and making good money, and have plenty of happy customers.  Look at my feedback.

I always do, 'cause I'm f*cking awesome.

You first.

I don't see what the problem is with my price on the tgcd ac, it's in the ballpark of what they sell for on ebay... Each and every item I list on ebay, I research what they sell for to come up with my price. 

Based on what - the one that's been relisted over and over again for $60?  When you can get the whole shebang for $150 or a CD with AC for $100, you're clearly too high on your plain ol' AC adapter.

The problem is, at video game forums, most people know what stuff is worth...

That's right, we do know what stuff is worth.  You're AC adapter is overpriced; get over it.

It's because I am not desperate for money because I am smart with my money.   So I can sit on things for a long time.  I must be doing something right because I am a Power Seller on ebay and making good money, and have plenty of happy customers.  Look at my feedback.

So you're here to spam your ebay 'job', eh?  Good for you, but it looks like Zeta and M.G. hit the nail squarely on its head.

[Mathius]

I am sorry about your mother, I truly am. But we, the Turbografx.Pc Engine community, have been burned way too many times by price gouging and greed. It's only natural for some of us to come out and defend it. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

[KevInCal]

Thanks

But it's not my fault if people pay too much for things on ebay...  Why should I sell something for less money when I can sell it for more money!?  That doesn't make any sense.  There's a difference between being nice and being stupid.  Besides I've given plenty of people great deals on things over the years.  I don't just sell on ebay, I've sold at a lot of game forums etc.  There's a good reason my prices are at the upper level these days, which I explained in my earlier post about my mom...  What would any of you do if your mom were dying and couldn't work and needed money!?!? It's hard enough to supports ones self these days...  Anyway, I'm just tired of people at gaming forums slamming me for no good reason.  All I am is a nice and honest guy selling some gaming stuff.  You know what I do if I think someones prices are a little bit too much for me?  I don't buy from them and I move on, and look for the next deal.  I don't hassle them like many do me.
