Magical Chase Waiting List

[SMF]

The sad truth is someone will get bashed on here for asking $1500 for Magical Chase but in a private message a forum member will buy it and won't say a word and the thread will dissapear....Till the next 1 comes to sell

I have been checking that online place, but I just feel it would be nice to buy (trade haha!) from someone here...

I guess thats the ugly side of business.

You are so right. So many people want it they will pay high prices. The thing is not only the seller gets a verbal beatdown for selling it at a high price, the buyer gets mocked and insulted for paying over what some would consider a reasonable price. So instead of posting, a lot of quiet PM's go on. I wouldn't doubt that maybe some of the people that give the verbal lashings might be ones that offer or in the past have purchased like that. Personally I think the game is way over priced. Yes, i know you can get a PCE version a lot cheaper with a case. But for some they want the set and every collector has their standards.

I received one of those silent PMs a couple years ago.  The guy seemed to mistake me for someone who was actively looking for MC, as I hadn't put the word out for some time.  He said he had multiple copies and didn't seem too interested in either my hefty trade bait or my working-class-income offers.  He also never got back to me with references.  Caveat emptor.

I've had a few people I've never heard of ask me to sell them my copy. I think that most of the secret PM chatting is done by people who never post and only join to try to get a few deals.

O I agree on that, I seen people join the forums create a WTB THREAD and get what they want and never sow up on here again. Reason why I'm all for not selling to new members until they get active in the community. That why the real die hards have a shot at enjoyng some great games at a reasonable price and we don't get scamed by a ebayer looking to get a good game for $8 and it showing up on ebay for $40.

Yeah, I can see that happening a lot. It's called human nature. Not just in the example you brought up, it's like that in anything.

The worst over pay I ever did on one was when a guy at a Funco-Land store told me his roommate had Sinistron (This was many years ago) and I started badgering him about asking the guy if he'd take this amount or that amount.

Needless to say, I got played for $40.00 and ended up with just the game in a cracked case with a missing stabilizer.

I knew even back then, I'd over payed but, at the time was under the impression that the game was ultra rare.

What year was that? That's not a bad price for an uncommon used game that wasn't sold in Canada. I would have had to import it bitd, the same as any PC Engine game. If it was after the Turbo line was discontinued, but before eBay took off, it still would have been hard to find in the wild.

Talking to me or someone else? You didn't quote so, I'm uncertain.

he is just asking you what year was that in.

btw, damn, Funco Land. You brought back so many memories. I havent heard that name in years.

What is considered fair price varies from person to person. The more money a person has to throw around, the more the "fair" price tends to rise. For example, one individual may find $300 for a near mint copy of Might and Magic 3 to be gouging while the next guy figures it a good price for a game that is very difficult to locate. Money talk and bullshit walks, remember?

I'd rather buy one for $60.

Haha that didn't last long.
