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

[KingofGames]

Clearly not enough cash to represent Soldier Blade.

Those luxury 2$ bills are worth more than Soldier Blade.

[KingofGames]

Pretty sure that isn't the case!

[GameFreak]

This thread is killing my cell phone battery. LoL.

If a pigeon farts in Africa, one can be sure KG will post an response here.

[KingofGames]

You have my undivided attention.

[roflmao]

[Sparky]

holyshit.

2$ bills are raer as fuck

I know.  I want to collect them because I've been familiar with two dollar bills for over ten years and they're part of my childhood, but I got them as part of a lot and whenever I look at them I just see a pile of money and I don't even know if I'll be interested in two dollar bills in five years and my Dad doesn't play with his two dollar bills anymore and if I had an unlimited supply of two dollar bills I would keep them. Anyway, it's not like I'm selling legal tender, I'm selling luxury collectible legal tender.

Hahaha.. Nice vesty......It's just to easy with this guy, the more KingOfGames posts the more of an gouging dick he comes off as.

I will take OrangeAmy over this guy any day, at least Amy was honest out of the gate about his eBay lovin, but honesty is the Canadian way (( fellow Canuck pose)). Even though he committed forum suicide with his first post.

[OrangeArmy]

Thanks Sparky, Vest hit the nail on the head when he said I've been stewing and internalizing being (indirectly) called an Idiot on here for over a year for some of the prices i've payed so I guess I'm the one who's butt hurt

I have no regrets about winning any of those auctions. The Turbo has a special place in my heart and it's worth more to me to have complete, good condition titles. Selling this stuff for a profit is not even a question. These games are for playing and sharing the TG experience with friends and family.

Has anyone spotted any rare turbografx items for auction lately? I'm talking about stuff that doesn't show up often (or ever).

[tggodfrey]

M&M III (USA) has shown up a few times.  High price as well.  One guy had like 5 copies of Godzilla (USA) and was selling them at 150.00 each

Tonma has been up there for a few weeks now at 130.00
Shockman complete was there as well

LAST DH sold for 400.00 by Pompei Parsons
Last Terraforming sold went for 150.00, I think a member here bought it but I cant be positive.

A little while back, two retail TG16 Jamma arcade units were sold on ebay.  The first went for around $100, the second around $400 lol.  Glad I got the $100 one  Not sure how rare they are exactly, but you hardly ever see them.

Hahaha... Ya now where's the $80 controller

[NecroPhile]

Only $300 (free shipping!) for a region modded PAL TurboGrafx!  appropriate power supply not included

No?  Perhaps you'd rather snag a copy of Hero Tonma for a mere $196.99 (HuCARD and manual only). 

[Arkhan Asylum]

The description says it has a built in CD!


and the seller says he putteded in a switch to read all games!

WOO!

[SMF]

Man and here I was gonna buy it. But jack rabbit had to put stickers on it :-( o well ill keep looking to get ripped off I guess.

[PikachuWarrior]

Stickers make anything more personable!

[Samurai Ghost]

Clearly not enough cash to represent Soldier Blade.

Obviously.  Now please get out of this thread if you can't stay on topic.

You know someone is hardcore when they can name drop "Capcom" and "NES".

I think we have hit a new high with dungeon explorer 2:

The best part is the stock image.

What? You don't trust me?

[PikachuWarrior]

Stock images don't matter much. Just the description/feedback matter the most. You can always file a complaint/claim later on if it ends up not turning out as described.

When its coming to things like this, yes they do matter much.

Funny, he had no takers on craigslist so he tossed it up on ebay.

1 day left its at $965.

Seems really high unless I'm missing something.

[kamiboy]

10 a game seems like a fair enough average if you are just getting into TC collecting and want to go for a complete collection.

What you save in terms of time, hassle and individual shipping makes it more than worth it.

I happened upon a mini version of this with a local collector ridding himself of all his SNES games just as I was starting to get interested in older titles. To this day I kick myself daily for not buying every single game he was selling. I was too green to realize what I was passing on at the time.

I got most of them though, at an aberage of 40, and they were all stuff I would have paid much meatier premiums for on eBay. Glad I found that guy.

[nectarsis]

Thems the breaks. I don't HAVE to do that any longer, but it's hard to break away from that logic when you've used it for years. Every time I see Soldier Blade sitting on my shelf, I feel guilty. I see a stack of cash. I absolutely do not need to sell it, but I know I won't play it nearly enough to justify having it sit there looking pretty. I can put the $200+ to better use and still play the game on my Wii if I ever feel the urge.

I swore I heard it was a $400 game??

*with $12 shipping LMAO*

The auction is still running, so the final price remains to be seen. Will it be less funny if it is bid up to $400?

Obviously a LOT less funny (even though someone  screwed themselves)

[JapanTokei]

Reading these posts between kingofgamer vs Arkhan is hilarious... And making me late for work!!  Gotta run..  Haha.  Arkhan go easy on the guy with your China-Warrior punches!!  Lol. Poor bastard is just trying to make 10 bucks flipping games without realizing time and inflation makes money mean shit compared to pce goodness.

[KingofGames]

Yeah, I'll have to settle on $255 and the ability to still play the game from my Wii. Life sucks!

Hahaha.. Now as an outcast on these forums, you bet it sucks for ya.

[KingofGames]

If I promise to stop making money on EBay, can we be besties?

Release the polar bears from their igloo prisons ;)

[Obfuscate]

I get a kick outta people that put that much effort in flipping a few games. If they put that effort into something that actually pays well they wouldn't have to worry about trying to sell their games.

Kinda reminds me of the fools that drive around my neighborhood the night before recycling pick up, to fish bottles and cans out of the bins. Even if they were walking/biking instead of wasting gas, I can't imagine that even a part-time minimum wage job wouldn't pay better. Not to mention that what they're doing is illegal.

[KingofGames]

You'd be surprised how much money (in so many different forms) is just waiting to be scooped up by the handful. In February, I bought a random lot of Magic the Gathering cards from a local thrift shop for $10. I know absolutely nothing about the game, but I figured it would be a good learning experience. Well, for those in the know, they ended up being 3rd edition revised and included 17 dual land cards. I sold those 17 cards to a local comic shop for $500 cash (convertible to 1.5x store credit). After picking some solid gaming items they had, I ended up with around $800. The owner of the shop was appreciative and quite excited that I brought the cards to him. I've had a handful of experiences like this one in the past year alone.

[SuperPlay]

$10 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I need the Dual land cards to complete my 3rd edition revised card set.

Nice find :@)

[KingofGames]

From the top of my head, I remember there being 4x plateau, 3x badlands, 2x Savannah, 1x Tropical Island. Can't remember the rest ATM.

[420GOAT]

YOURE running out of good mojo, sell some shit cheap or donate/raffle, or else youll hit a dry spell.

[NecroPhile]

Here's a couple winners: $125 for World Sports Competition (sans box and sleeve) or $150 for PCE Cotton.  Teh rarez are worth monies!

[jperryss]

I need the Dual land cards to complete my 3rd edition revised card set.

Well that sucks, I had 4X of each of the green multilands until I finally dumped everything on eBay a couple years ago. I'd played from 95-98 (started right when Revised came out) and stopped when they started putting out too many sets. All green deck except for 4 lightning bolts, 4 fireballs, and a Fork or two (can't remember if it was restricted at the time) and of course 4 of the red/green multilands. Not a murder deck, but a fun one.

At one point I had all but 5 cards in the entire green set from Unlimited up to Ice Age, including all the side sets (Legends, etc). When I sold it all my best payout was a black-border Berserk that I got $95 for. Can't even count how many games I won with that card.

I have friends that play now and there is so much extra gimmicks and crap on the cards now. I feel like an old fart looking at 'em now.

[VestCunt]

Further derailing, dork bragging...

I played Magic starting with Beta in '93 until about '98. I got Time Walk in one of my first six booster packs. I had a beta Jet, an unlimited Ruby, a set of 40 dual lands, every blue card from Beta to Alliances, a Dark set, and most of Arabian Nights. Highlights were my first-turn Juzam Djinn in a tournament and my blue Time Walk/Stasis/Regrowth "lock" deck.

Punk rock eventually saved my life and dumped those fucking cards.

Not really gouging, but the typo + "14 sold" is funny.
