FOR SALE: Steaming Pile

[vestcoat]

   Well, this guy has reveled his true colors.  I was civil but it looks like he didn't even read my post. 

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, acting as if they're not really trying to rip us off and that they don't just know any better.  Maybe immediately jumping down their throat really is the right thing to do.  And then he crosses everything out as if we missed out on a good deal.

No, I crossed everything out because you guys acted like total f*ckfaces about it...and I left my references behind on pricing because it's f*cking true, dickwad.  I only have two sources I found for pricing.  Show me somewhere else that it's listed with a price and I'd have considered adjusting.

Am I supposed to take your word when you offer me $100 for a game I clearly see listed and selling for $200+?  I mean, really?

Values on shit change.  Panzer Dragoon Saga was $40 when I bought it, but then skyrocketed to over $250...not my fault.  Should I turn it for $40 because that's what I bought PDS for a couple years ago?

If you guys must know, I bought this for $160 a couple years back, so I could only assume it went up in value as it got older and more obscure.

The guy selling the Dynastic Hero a couple of months ago also referred to the Racketboy "omg rare $$$" thread on Racketboy as one of his price guides.

I didn't make racketboy prices, and I don't usually go by pricing on ebay either.  I have nowhere else to get pricing on this game...and I'm not about to take the word of people who are making offers for it.  "Oh yeah, this game totally goes for like #25.  I'll offer $20..hurrrr."  Usually my pricing comes from the lowest prices I can find...being that ebay and racketboy were the only references I could find on the net, I priced accordingly.

Its too bad there isn't a free price guide somewhere out there other than VGPC and they just use amazon and ebay for pricing averages.

lol, and the first reply was exactly the same from Necromancer and turboStar gave the same sob story like he did here.  I'm beginning to think you guys are all on f*cking repeat mode.

What you see is what you don't get...

I'm not gonna lie I laughed at that, now the picture of what will never be ours just sits there to taunt us.

I was just getting at how that page probably causes more problems than anything.

[enix2093]

Well, maybe you guys should make a public page here that has a price listing...that may solve your problems with a$$holes like me showing up with only ebay and racketboy, and it would save Necromancer the trouble of having to pull his e-penis out and turboStar from slitting his wrists over the guilt of selling games at higher prices than he paid.

[hizaygizirlz]

I can't speak for everyone, but I do all my thinking with my E-Penis, thats why the government won't let me have a facebook page.

[enix2093]

I think I'm just gonna go post in other areas and give up on selling to you elitist [sic] f*cks, lol.

I am sorry for the harsh welcome you received.  Its just that high prices are kind of a sore spot here.  If you have any interest in Turbo / PC engine gaming, there is a wealth of information and lots of passion to be found here.

Honestly, we have been actively discussing a solution to this problem concerning new users and sale threads.  I'm not sure the exact solution yet, but we are working on it.

I guess I can boil it down to this... the active members on this site are unusually passionate about these systems (the PCE and TG etc)  The recent artificial inflation of PCE/TG pricing as a result of ebay gougery (high BIN prices feeding even higher BIN prices) is very frustrating to us.  These are games we love, and we'd like others to be able to enjoy them.  When we see people buying just to scalp them for more money, it hurts.  We'd like to see this stuff stay affordable to those who want to buy and play them.  Too many times we've had new people come in here, post a for sale thread with high prices and leave.  None of us mind paying reasonable prices on this stuff (and honestly, a lot of people here have the funds to do it!) but we're all pretty anti ebay / high prices.

Best of luck to you in selling your game.  Hopefully you will get a fair price (maybe a bit more than you paid a few years ago) and hopefully whoever buys it does not turn right around a put it on ebay for a rediculous BIN price

I thought you were gone already. What are you still doing here?

[enix2093]

I don't know...tell me.  I wouldn't want to say the wrong thing and set off the TG-bomb.  Derp.

Anyways, I used to be huge into TG/PCE/FX shit back when I lived in Japan.  I've kind of been out of the NEC loop for the past 3 years, so since I had no other pricing points to go off of, I figured what I used would have been semi-acceptable since there's really nothing else to reference.

I like how you guys shit all over ebay but then don't have any other resources available on any of the big NEC sites like this...just seems kind of counter-productive to me if you hate noobs and you hate new sellers and hate ebay prices, etc.   You would think someone would make a pricing list and make it a sticky in the selling forums...that was new users/sellers would have SOMETHING to reference before setting you up the bomb.

Damn, he really can insult. Give him his due.

[enix2093]

You guys may have percieved me as a hit-n-run, or one-post-hero, or f*cking noob, or someone who was about to just pussy out from the site over one post....that's not the case.  But I stick to my guns and I'm not selling it here even if I do turn it for $100 elsewhere.  The shitty attitude I recieved doesn't warrant a reward, so that's over and done.

That doesn't mean I'm gonna just disappear from a perfectly good forum for NEC discussion.  I just think I'll take my overpriced wares elsewhere and make maximum profit.
