289.34 shipped ($26.30 each) for Blazing Lazers, Boxy Boy, Cadash, Devil's Crush, Double Dungeons, Dungeon Explorer, Legendary Axe II, Military Madness, Neutopia, Sinistron, and Super Star Soldier.  A pretty nice group of games to be sure, but not worth anywhere near that much in a lot and sans cases and boxes.

[roflmao]

I was watching that one as well. Great games, but they don't even have cases!

[emu002]

I guess that you're unfamiliar with that game.

[emu002]

its the game you could only get via mail order if you bought another darius game right?

[CrackTiger]

its the game you could only get via mail order if you bought another darius game right?

You had to mail away with proof of purchase from both Darius games, but the price that auction was at when you posted the link was actually about as cheap as it usually goes for online.

Q:  hi, these are the last two games I need to complete my Turbo Grafx collection. Please would you sell them to me for $350? many thanks Jan-14-12

A:   Hi, thanks for your interest in my auctions. Sorry there is now only one day left on the auction, I would prefer not to sell as a "Buy it Now". Cheers anyways for your offer.
 
Q:  Hello, i really need these items... can you do an exception for this time? I live in Italy and till now no problems with pack in the Uk... please let me　know, i can bid high... Jan-14-12

A:   Hi, thanks for your interest in my auction. Yes OK, you can bid on these items. I usually do not ship to Italy as I ship using Royal Mail's Airmail Airsure and this service is not offered to Italy. But as I am planning on shipping these particular items using a different service probably via DHL Courier with full insurance, I will open it up to be shipped to Italy. Thanks 
 

OMG These games might be rarer then Magical Chase lol

[CrackTiger]

WOW, Is this really worth that much to people?

It's still ridiculous, but it makes more sense than the "collector's" prices of games like Magical Chase and Dynastic Hero, which are supposed to be based on rarity.

[NecroPhile]

OMG These games might be rarer then Magical Chase lol

Here's the link for those that missed it: Bikini Girls and Hawaiian Island Girls for $512 shipped.  In terms of the actual number produced they most likely are rarer than M.C., yet they're nowhere near as much fun to play.

Sonofabitch!!!  Some dip shit (user ID: vz614937) bought the boxed Duo in a fancy display table for $1250.

Well I hope he enjoys his card table.

I picture that Duo gasping for air and begging to be let out.

[SMF]

Wow what a moron, Do people really need a box that badly?

You have got to be fucking kidding me!

At least no one bought this "PERFECTLY WORKING" Duo.  I saw this months ago but just wanted to refresh everyone's memory of the stupidity that is on ebay.  Props to the seller if it actually sells though.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-TurboGrafx-CD-TurboDuo-Black-Console-95-GOLD-LEVEL-GRADE-/220930820502?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D180779936469%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5659021819050376298

Its that video game quality guy, he has all sorts of turbo/pce stuff that is WAY over priced just because its "new never opened" and has his own grading.

The Display isn't even included (unless picked up from his house)!

[Bernie]

I have an Ebay account that I dont use anymore.  I should buy it now, and just not pay.  Become a pain in the ass for him, even if only a little while. 

[Keith Courage]

This ebay add is awesome!!!!!!!!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keith-Courage-Alpha-Zones-TurboGrafx-16-Turbo-Grafx-DUO-NEW-RARE-/220934857715?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3370be63f3

OMG FINALLY I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT GAME FOR 10 YEARS NOW. ONLY 109.99 THAT'S A STEAL. Now if only I can get TV Sports Football.

We must be racking up the guest counts on gougers' items.

[MotherGunner]

That's it, we should spam the hell out of this guy, I'm gonna say that $109 is too much of a steal and I would feel bad if I ONLY gave him that amount since it is stupidly rare, then give him a link to other ebay auctions that show many more decent prices but really say "Look, I couldn't even find another one through a simple search! would you PLEASE accept $350 for it? I can paypal you today."  

Make it all sarcastic as fuck.

Who's with me?


Edit:  This was my message to him

"Wow, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this auction.  I would have never imagined in a million years that I would be able to find this ULTRA OMG RARE game on eBay, but thanks to GOOD persons such as yourself my dreams have come true.  I even did a search to confirm that no other deal is better than yours and I have found ZERO deals.  Look!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keith-Courage-Alpha-Zones-Turbo-Grafx-16-Complete-/350498858338?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item519b5c2562

It would honestly NOT feel right to only pay you $109 for this epic open but OMG RARE copy.  Would you PLEASE humbly accept $350 for it?  I can pay you ASAP.  Thanks again for allowing me to witness auction greatness...  "

Powered up games is just as bad, he wouldn't take $30 for a CIB with manual Parasol Stars setup.

We should just report his ass to the ebay authorities over and over again. ^^

DUDE THAT WAS EPIC, You kind sir are AWESOME.

[Bernie]

Here was my question to him:  Are you mentally retarded?  Noone in their right mind is going to buy this game at that price.  Its the pack in game for petes sake man.

[NecroPhile]

Are you mentally retarded?  Noone in their right mind is going to buy this game at that price.  Its the pack in game for petes sake man. 

But it comes in a baggie!  That's easy worth an extra Benjamin, ain't it?

[NightWolve]

Wow, that's ridiculous, but I sure as hell would be jealous if he actually does manage to find someone dumb enough to buy it at that price (Unless this is his first time posting an item at such an outrageous price, I would guess he's [occasionally] succeeded in the past, no?). Oh look, he added "Official Turbo Zone Direct Close-Out Sale" underneath the description making it all "official-ly" looking... Heh-heh.

[BigusSchmuck]

Shall we spam him now? ^^

[MotherGunner]

Spam away if you want.  I said my piece.

[futureman2000]

I was looking through that guy's (Video_game_quality) completed listings- it's a fun read, especially if you order it as price > high to low. A wasteland of unpurchased, overpriced, **Graded!** stuff.

[alexsduo]

Can anyone remember if KC was sealed? 

That picture of the manual shows some wear...

Someone with balls should buy it now. Receive it, and then dispute "Brand New: An item that has never been opened or removed from the manufacturer's sealing (if applicable). Item is in original shrink wrap (if applicable). See the seller's listing for full details."

and then ebay will give you a refund, and most of the time you just get to keep it (or sometimes, as I have read on "the internetz" you are http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57352627-93/paypal-dispute-ends-in-destruction-of-violin/ required to destroy it, skepticalness ensues.)

If you get to keep it, put it back on ebay for $350, and list it as "like new" very slight creasing, best copy on ebay, uber rare, drool"

win.

[Sadler]

Pretty sure keith courage was never sealed.

[alexsduo]

I was thinking that too.... His is not, but I kinda thought it could have been..

Oh, what do I know, we had a tg-16 back in the day, and I played the hell out of KC, and maybe 3 years ago, I found out there was a comic in it!!!!!!!!!!

[Sadler]

I was actually just thinking about that. I don't even remember the comic!

Either way though, the guy's fucking retarded. If it weren't for his other listings I'd think it was a joke.

[Mathius]

I think this is the same guy that got hounded over at Sega-16.com for selling resealed games as "sealed", "never opened".

He wins the Nintega Dingleberry Award for Excellence in Retardedness.

[Sadler]

Anyone know what the deal is with ebay seller Ninja Castle? He has tons of new TG16 stuff and prices that at least I don't mind. Did he get some significant portion of red frog's stuff?

[MotherGunner]

I was actually just thinking about that. I don't even remember the comic!

Either way though, the guy's fucking retarded. If it weren't for his other listings I'd think it was a joke.

If you want just the comic you can find that easily on eBay now.

[alexsduo]

Oh, I got that a while ago... (comic)

Ninja Castle is sick, I bought some sealed games, but I am scared to open them...

Meh, I'm not huge on Keith Courage, nor am I a completist. I'm alright with seeing scans for now.

Unless you have another copy, rip that shit open! You bought it, might as well play it!
