What a fuckin' twat. Is Lords of Thunder even remotely rare?

Quote from: BlackandBlue on 11/22/2010, 08:08 AMHow about this asshat and his "new" turbografx and games in "collectors bags". What would a TG16 and 9 run of the mill games cost you? How about $1679! I hope this has not been posted yet. Too many ridiculous people to keep track of.
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!!

No Idea if Lords is rare for the SegaCD....but this guy sure is trying to JUSTIFY the price by saying games are the next big collectible things in the world...shit, I wonder why he didn't list Pogs and wtf were they called Beanie Bears or some shit in the equation as well?!?!?! (not to mention the cover art for Duo version BLOWS AWAY that shitty SegaCD cover, the dude looks like he's from Sparta!!!)

Alcunos, i sold one (as mint as an opened copy can be) on Ebay 3 years ago for a whopping $27.....so ya NecroPhile i think your factor of 10 formula sounds about right

$25 for an 'Express antenna makes me giggle; $60 for the same thing makes me want to club a baby seal.

Regardless of price, why bother? Analogue TV signals will soon be a thing of the past, rendering that antenna completely useless.

That's reality here in the States.

Not gauging on Ebay per se but the HardOff I visited today had some wack gauging prices too.

Everyone's favorite WonderMomo was selling for 600 yen here. that is too expensive given its toilet paper status.. though the huey is a bit too hard for the arse. lol

Looking through his other items, most of his stuff is quite cheap. Why on earth he's priced a control pad at $70 is beyond me.

and i like how he listed it under 2 headings it's NOT! um...hello? Coregraphx and PC Engine might be a little more appropriate.....

"90% Complete Import Library of ACD Games and SCD Games requiring the ACD enhancement."

Triple fail - obviously the price, plus there are zero SCD games that require an Arcade Card, and he only has 4/12 of the ACD titles and 13/19 of the SCD/ACD titles (17/31 total or 55%). He has a loosey goosey Bonk 3 though, so I guess that makes it a steal.

Hold on now, this auction CANNOT be purchase by just anyone!...Auction states, "For the serious collector only". That's a shame, I'm only a casual collector and haven't made "serious collector" status yet.

Rules are rules, I have to pass. It really should say, "For suckers that don't know video game values only".

nat · 12/07/2010, 09:37 PM

I'm.... speechless. It's fucking video games. This guy has got to be kidding.

BlueBMW · 12/07/2010, 10:13 PM

Lol, I like how that guy claims its a "complete Turbo Duo collection" I would read Turbo Duo as being US, and PC Engine Duo as be Japanese. He's made a hybrid of the two to get a "complete" collection. Notice how most of the top dollar US games are included in that auction but are the PC engine copies?

Yeesh.

A nice starter collection (especially with the Legendary Axe II t-shirt), but definitely not worth the $2000 asking price.

Yeah, that is definitely a nice starter collection. But $2000?

NecroPhile · 12/17/2010, 10:40 AM

Another clown with a VGA graded game - $149.99 for Bonk's Adventure. He probably bought a copy like this one and figured he could quintuple his money by having it graded by those worthless meat sacks.

Marll · 12/17/2010, 11:22 AM

That VGA graded crap just makes me angry LOL. So stupid. I don't care what shape it's in, Bonk's Adventure is NOT worth $150, let alone the Exile 2 I think I saw floating around for about $500 or so...

Sparky · 12/17/2010, 09:59 PM

No clue. like the "8.5" sealed OMG RA3R copy of Ordyne for $150.

Those guys are totally full of shit.

NecroPhile · 12/21/2010, 04:14 PM

Short bus rider wants $300 for a factory sealed copy of Splatterhouse; notice that he mentions a VGA grade in the description, yet he can't be bothered to take any pictures.

Mathius · 12/21/2010, 06:52 PM

Remember, NecroPhile, these new breed of eBay gougers (secretly disguised as retro-gamers) can't put these pure, untouched pieces of gaming history on film. These games have only been touched by the hand of God, and as such would be fatal if viewed by our impure eyes.

henrycsc · 12/21/2010, 08:23 PM

Not gouging, but I saw this. I was wondering if anyone knew the history of this or about the artist Doug Walker or the "Video Game Confession" referred to.

That's That Guy With Glasses, who does intraweb funnies; and while it's a neat sketch, it ain't worth anywhere near that much to me. Hell, even if it was original artwork from game development I still wouldn't be willing to pay that much for a piece of paper.

I didn't think those looked like Sparky's labels. And I think we all know that Sparky wouldn't sell his on ebay.

Wasn't implying that at all. I meant to convey that I thought this guy bought them off of you only to turn around and attempt to profit off your work. Not sure where the disconnect is. Never said this was you. =)
