Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

Frank_fjs · 09/30/2010, 02:07 AM

Yeah, what's up with GameBaz? A lot of their retro console gear is priced in the thousands.

I enquired about getting a Neo Geo console through them, and simply asked for detailed photos of the item that they would send had I purchased. They responded by informing me that they don't keep them in stock/have them on-hand. What they will do is source one for me (I would say they get most of their stuff through Yahoo Japan Auctions) and send that to me.

I really don't like that way of doing business, I want to see the exact item that I will be getting. Especially for the money that I would have been spending.

Just browsin, seeing what the gougers are up to these days... stumbled across this one..

$200 shipped for a TG16 with CD base, but no CDrom? Good grief!

Mathius · 10/02/2010, 02:35 PM

That Turbo is looking a little rough.

This Nintendo set might be worth $80 at the most!

SEALED Moonwalker is a steal at $4999.95! only thing that pisses me off is $50 to ship it from NewYork to Canada!?!?!?! That's the dealbreaker...

Ironically the NES does include free shipping....

Which better include it delivered the next day buy a singing telegram babe that jumps outta a cake on your doorstep....

Plz note my sarcasm guys

Unbelievable people would even waste time posting this shit on Ebay!

What a douche. I hate to tell him, but the only rules that eBay has regarding contacting other members are for spam and threats; no mention is made of mocking asshats.

What is with stores in Hawaii all having similar names? GameSquadStore and now GameStuffStore!

That hat has been floating around for a while.

It's actually the item that made me think maybe you didn't have bad intentions from the start as a gouger. Although the Hudson Music Collection with insert I didn't really want to sell you and only did because your site and dedication to Turbos that you flipped a month later and made an extra $35 on made me think you did have bad intentions and that the hat was just one you missed on. Who knows, I guess who cares...

nat · 10/13/2010, 08:12 PM

What's to say that hat actually has anything to do with the Turbo? Bomberman has been around for years on other consoles... Does that hat have either the NEC, TTi, Turbo or PC Engine logo anywhere on it?

Actually, I bought Roys - and yes, TTi
I remember when they came out, and I believe you could get them in the bomberman color of your choice. (The one on the left is blue, although a very dark blue)

And here's the one that ended with no bids...

So when your item doesn't sell you jack the price up 50% right?

In the links provided by BlueBMW, the first LT ended up selling for $400 when the second (earlier) auction ended unsold starting at $395. Pretty cheap for an LT on eBay.

The LTs look cool, but I just can't see how they're even playable. How are you supposed to practically use the Dpad?

henrycsc · 10/17/2010, 12:24 PM

I just played a couple levels of Super Star Soldier, PC Genjin 2, and Columns.

You can play it, but it is a bit heavy and you have to hold it at an odd angle to clearly see the screen.

....and it's kinda lumpy under your pillow at night.
