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

That is a beautiful system.

Too bad she is in that hands of a greedy slime-ball.

I wouldn't say the music is as good as Gates or Lords, but it definitely deserves honorable mention in the sidescrolling shoot 'em up TG-SCD Soundtrack hall of fame!!

Thanks for the link TStar

Is it just me or do the bosses look a little on the basic & easy side? hahah.
On the other hand, the backgrounds are beautiful to look at, and the music is above average for sure, stage 4 is very relaxing, mellow

It ain't just you. Most of the bosses are pretty boring; the first one is the best, what with blowing away his skull and gradually destroying his brains.

Just get the import. You can find it pretty cheap. Just ignore asshats on ebay thinking it's as rare as the US version.

Mathius · 10/28/2010, 12:47 AM

Buyer claims it's real. But, is it?

The peel away strip is in the right place in the 2nd one, but for $1000 he can shove it up his ass diagonally.

BlueBMW · 10/28/2010, 09:51 AM

Looks like someone bought the first one.. the seller also changed his description to state that it was NOT a care4data bootleg. Hard to say lol.

Considering he had the care4data bootleg for sale also (I bought it for $30 shipped), I would assume he compared them to see the differences between the real deal and the bootleg.

BlueBMW · 11/03/2010, 09:05 PM

This whole VG grading system is bad news for us gamers for sure.... Just a way for people to squeeze more money out of games that will never get played.

Frank_fjs · 11/04/2010, 07:55 AM

Two auctions worth noting.

This one isn't exactly gouging as such as it contains a lot of bang for buck, it's just a lot of $$$ in one hit:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PC-ENGINE-INCREIBLE-LOTE-179-JUEGOS-JAPONESES-Y-IFU-30-/260687344400?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item3cb22d3310#ht_500wt_1156

This one would be nice for a hardcore Sega fan:

geise · 11/04/2010, 01:59 PM

Looking at those PCE games, there's no way that lot is even worth that.

Quote from: geise on 11/04/2010, 01:59 PMLooking at those PCE games, there's no way that lot is even worth that.

That works out to an average of $7.62 each, which ain't that bad but ain't a steal either (especially as a lot).

$201 for Flash Hiders and Victory Run. Deal!

henrycsc · 11/04/2010, 05:32 PM

Yeah, looked like PC Denjin was far and away the most valuable game in the lot. Most mediocre lot of that size I think I've seen, unless I missed something.

NecroPhile · 11/12/2010, 12:29 PM

So much fail in this one. Someone ought to teach this numbfuck the difference between 'new' and 'like new condition'.

Marll · 11/12/2010, 01:58 PM

HAHHAA, my buddies and I were just laughing about that one. So obiviously NOT new it makes my eyes bleed to look at that listing.

And even if it WAS all new, sealed in boxes complete....still wouldn't be worth that much.

hoobs88 · 11/12/2010, 02:02 PM

I wonder if the ebay certificates are included

Frank_fjs · 11/12/2010, 08:41 PM

Wow, so putting consoles and hardware into a baggy make them new huh!?

Here's one along the same lines. It's a Mega Drive console being sold for $300 US as a new system.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Sega-Mega-Drive-Genesis-System-Japanese-Console-New-/170559277029?pt=Video_Games&hash=item27b62007e5#ht_2547wt_1139

1 - It's an Asian version Mega Drive, not Japanese.
2 - It CLEARLY isn't NEW! The controller is from an American Genesis for $%$@ suck, the adapter & video cables are used and not in baggy and the console has just been placed in a baggy, it's still used.

Here's another fun one. A Game Cube, that's right a Game Cube, with a starting bid of $399 and a BIN of $600.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110610649524#ht_1350wt_1139

I like how the box is for a platinum gamecube, the controllers are indigo, and the console itself is black.... all he needs now is something spice orange and it'll be perfect!

At least the console actually looks new in that one, albeit way overpriced. Was actually pretty cool looking at those pics.

With the slip case, it'd go for over $100 on ebay, but $90 is about right for a copy sans slip case.

OldMan · 11/16/2010, 10:23 AM

Check closer Nec. That's a slipcover with no game....

And Ark's question was whether or not a complete game goes for such a high price, to which I was responding that it does.

OldMan · 11/16/2010, 12:53 PM

Sorry Nec. I misread your post. Thought you were talking about the e-bay'd game. Guess the nearness in prices confused me. Think someone will buy it thinking there's a game there, too ? <lol>

csgx1 · 11/16/2010, 10:34 PM

US TG-16 3.0 System Card $199.95. Quote from seller: "This card is used with the US TurboGrafx CD System, it turns it into a Turbo DUO..." At that price you can practically buy a Duo system.

Frank_fjs · 11/16/2010, 10:39 PM

Wow, I have heard that the US system cards are rare but that is a ridiculous price. As you mention, one could easily buy a Duo console for that price.

No wonder his eBay username is "happiestsellerever!"

Colossus1574 · 11/17/2010, 12:01 AM

If the guy was more smart and less "happy" he woulda said "helps play the huge awesome library of Japanese PCE games" instead of yay, it turns into a poorman's duo. (no offense to the non-duo guys out there, i'm a suitcase PCE owner myself

)

Mathius · 11/17/2010, 12:17 AM

I paid only $56 for my SSC just last year. Stupid gougers!

Marll · 11/17/2010, 01:17 PM

Glad I got my SSC when it was released! I also bought the Arcade Card Pro years ago for a good price along with a Purple Barney the same week. Got the Barney for a song, $30 shipped.

It has but it's stupid enough to warrant reposting. For teh lulz, of course.

Anyone care for 27 new copies of Youkai Dochuki? They'll only set you back $444.50 ($16.46 each), nevermind that I just bought a mint copy for all of $5.

Not interested, eh? Then maybe you'd like this $249.99 sealed copy of Algunos. You can get complete copies for $25 or so, but shrinkwrap easily increases its value by a factor of ten, so buy! BUY! BUY!!
