SLAP CHOP!!!

Bernie · 03/02/2011, 08:08 AM

I guess the big question is, what are you looking to get for this game? I used to have it years ago, and been looking to get it again. Just with the ebay prices.. ugh.. So, what are ya looking to get for it? Cuz, I would be interested in it.

PM me.

enix2093 · 03/02/2011, 08:38 AM

I looked around and those ebay prices aren't far away from the ones on racketboy (the only place I could find with solid pricing), so considering that article is from last year I'd say there's amazingly non-insane.

How about $255 shipped?

Bernie · 03/02/2011, 09:05 AM

I will pass. Thanks anyway.

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/02/2011, 10:11 AM

I sold my *near mint* game to a guy at the Midwest Gaming Classic for $100. I purchased it as part of a 2 SCD's for $69.99 from TZD, so I felt like a shit just selling it and making that much profit.

If you want $255 you might as well pop the beast on freakin' eBay man.

With that said I'll take it off your hands for $100.

NecroPhile · 03/02/2011, 12:57 PM

Eat shit and go to eBay. You're an utter fool for thinking we'd want to pay you a premium over the already ridiculous eBay gouge jobs - at least there you'd have to pay their fees and the buyer would get some protection.

Sparky · 03/02/2011, 03:03 PM

Yes that is way to high... i paid no more than $100 for mine as well and its in sweet shape...
Have you posted this game on any other forums you visit, any offers? i bet when you tell them the price they hit the road.

Sorry, but your getting hit over the head with the big reality stick... It f@cking hurts but its the truth as harsh as it comes out sometimes.

shubibiman · 03/02/2011, 04:08 PM

I got mine on ebay for just 65$ and that was 2 years ago. 255$ is just ridiculous.

VestCunt · 03/02/2011, 04:09 PM

Your references, pictures, and detailed description are all very nice, but you'd do well to rethink your pricing. Most members here help each other out and are very quick to criticize any perceived price gouging (in fact, we have a perpetual thread about it). A lot of new, often well-intended, sellers show up thinking the prices they've seen on ebay are an accurate guideline and they tend to get run out of town pretty damn fast.

I bought a complete w/poster copy for $80 sometime around 2007 and that was on ebay. You could probably get over a hundred now, even on these forums. Accept reasonable offers and you'll find a warmer welcome and good deals returned in the future (like free Sapphire reprints). Stick to the ebay mindset you might as well move along.

TheClash603 · 03/02/2011, 07:29 PM

I paid $60 for my copy recently, but it came without a poster. I'd be willing to pay $20ish for that damn poster alone...

nat · 03/02/2011, 07:56 PM

I bought mine for $70, but it also was without a poster. I don't think the poster makes it worth an additional $150, however.

enix2093 · 03/02/2011, 08:09 PM

Wow, thanks to all of you for shitting on me and accusing me of gouging on a game that I openly admitted that I have no clue on the value. I based my price off of the only two sources I had, but if you guys would rather be dicks than be civil, I won't bother lowering the price for any of you and I'll just take it elsewhere and sell it for less. Maybe before shitting all over me, if you bothered to look my links (which I took down now) you'd see I've always sold rare items for the going price or less...but that's fine. I'll take the rest of my collection elsewhere.

Way to welcome a new user.

Listen bud, everyone with one exception was perfectly nice in pointing out your high asking price. No one shit on your thread, but with that kind of attitude we're better off without you. See ya!

VestCunt · 03/02/2011, 09:17 PM

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.

enix2093 · 03/02/2011, 09:22 PM

No, I crossed everything out because you guys acted like total fuckfaces about it...and I left my references behind on pricing because it's fucking 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.

PunkCryborg · 03/02/2011, 09:26 PM

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.

enix2093 · 03/02/2011, 09:34 PM

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.

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 · 03/02/2011, 10:31 PM

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.

Tatsujin · 03/02/2011, 10:32 PM

enix2093 · 03/02/2011, 10:36 PM

You guys may have percieved me as a hit-n-run, or one-post-hero, or fucking 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.

Sparky · 03/02/2011, 10:40 PM

Why did you come over here to sell anyway? when it sounds like you have other forums you go to and have great feedback on, so go sell it there for the price you want or go to ebay if you want top dollar.

We are a community of Tg16/Pce gamers and collectors, we are not out to rip you off either, all we have done is told you what we have paid for the game...(with a few extra words here and there

) you paid to much for your game.. dont get all bitter.

PS: you could have asked man what we thought was a fair price.

I agree, it would be better to have some better guidelines for new sellers, if nothing else to give warning about the anti-ebay attitude here. As far as a price guide, I'm not sure the best way to go about such a thing. Maybe a wiki style chart where anyone who's purchased a particular game could add what they paid so we can get a more real world non-ebay price for things.

I'm just one guy here, and I too was a noob (just last summer infact) so I hate to see someone step into a pile of shit with their first foot through the door. I am sorry you got bombed on right away. Hopefully if you do decide to get back into Turbo / PCE stuff you'll come back. There really are a lot of good folks here. And if you ever need a system repaired, there's a whole team of very talented techie people here too!

I do have other places to go, and I am selling at them...is that so hard to believe? I came here to expand my selling base. More prospective buyers = more chances of selling...hurrrr. Did I really need to explain that? I did put it on ebay, and I matched the retarded pricing there too, lol. I'm not gonna hide it. I jacked the price up to $275 and slapped it on ebay for a $0.05 listing fee. Maybe some sucker will bite. If not, I'll sell it elsewhere at a more reasonable price since I have recently been schooled (see posts #1-10).

I'm pretty much done selling here. I don't need a fucking internet shitstorm in every sale thread - it's not worth the effort. I just want the money when I sell...not the heartache and pcenginefx veterans' drama. The last time I was at a forum with this many angry women, it was the rock band forums over at harmonix.

We can play pot vs kettle all day, but the fact is that this forum has a very highly toxic environment for new users. You guys can sit around sucking each others' cocks all day and scare off all the fresh pussy if you want - that's fine. Doesn't bother me much. but if you want a growing "community" (as the image at the top of every page states), then you can't run off everyone who makes a pricing mistake or stupid post.

Oh, I know "it's the internet" is an easy out for all of you, but not everyone is internet hardened...and you're gonna end up just having your little click here, where cockwranglers like Necromancer pop into a new sale thread instantly and pull out their mangled e-cocks for everyone to see. Yay you. But good luck on anyone else coming here if you're gonna jump down their shit as soon as they show up and call them little bitches when they leave because they don't want to deal with your mental home bullshit.

Look when "it ends up like this." Besides 1 post, the first what almost 10 posts were fairly cordial, after that he went on some ultra insulting tirade (which is the usual for gougers/fast buck/"1 and dones" around here, what do you expect, people to kiss his ass after that?

No nectarsis, I meant the thread in general. Not just us at him. I dont understand why he went on the cursing tyrant at all. Anyway, I guess he just got pissed. I dunno. Seems maybe all he wanted was to throw curses and name call. I actually sent him a message offering him 150.00, which I felt was reasonable. And, my PM was very cordial. According to the link he referenced us to, I am in the range. I see he has posted it on ebay, for a huge mark-up tho. If it doesnt sell, maybe he will consider my offer.
