Membership has its privileges.. the "F@ck EBAY Club" card

[Tatsujin]

shiet, what's going on in here?

[Shrapnoid]

I'm not quite sure but, would you give-up 20.00 for a loose Aero Blasters in nice condition?

[Mathius]

I am not sure what Aero Blasters is worth these days. I wouldn't give that much for a loosey goosey though. Wait for a deal here.

[Sadler]

I like Aero Blasters. It's one of the better looking chip games out there and is lots of fun. Even that hated pompeyparsons has it for cheaper.

[PunkCryborg]

aeroblasters is only $20 complete usually

[Shrapnoid]

Okay. Just wanted some advice. I'll hold off in the hopes that a better deal will come along.

[Shrapnoid]

What is considered decent prices when it comes to buying boxes? Someone has boxes for sale but, he doesn't know what they're worth and wants me to make an offer but, I don't know what to offer without risking going over the limit.

Any ideas?

[Sparky]

boxes are hard to gauge... to some i bet there worth $10-$20 a piece depending on the game but for me there $2-$5 maybe $10 for that odd sweet ass game... but i dont collect boxes so what do i know  Shrap maybe ask this question on the main forum as its a good one man.

Okay. Just thought I'd run it by you guys first so, I don't risk breaking the club rules.
Now that you mention it, anything over 5 does sound a bit much unless it's 100% mint and you have a place to keep it where it isn't in danger of getting crushed.

[bartre]

the latest turboview finally got me more interested in the game, what's a good price for cadash with the case and manual, US version?

[NecroPhile]

I'd say $20-30, depending on condition and whether it's on or off eBay.

[Shrapnoid]

Well, if you want to help keep the gouging rates down, I wouldn't go over 20 for just good condition, maybe bump it up to 25 for great condition and 30 for near mint and so on but, still even that may be considered over paying to some.
Try waiting a little longer for someone else to post their opinion before you make your choice.

[bartre]

well, I haven't had any real luck selling my spare boxes here,
I think I'm going to have to pop them on ebay as a lot.
personally, I'd like to list them as an auction.
just checking here first, are there any problems with that?

Odd, my boxes flew off of here...though it was awhile ago.

You might have more luck with them on ebay and besides, pay day is still a ways off for me and I don't think I could really give you what you'd want for them anyway so, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you try to keep the prices reasonable based on the condition of each box.

You could post the link to your old thread here and then ask everyone what they think would be too low or too high and then go from there.

[bartre]

yeah, that's what i thought.
if i were to add a buy it now option, what would be fair?

[Shrapnoid]

I don't know. Ask Sparky.

[tggodfrey]

out of curiousity what quality control is there against members here selling things at ebay prices?

For example a well established member tried to sell me JPN DH opened and used as a game should be for 50.00 when its on ebay for 50.00 sealed.  I dont remember who it was and it doesnt matter at this point.  Just curious?

Terry

[Sparky]

look your taking an oath when ya sign up for this club and if someone is not going to follow it then we need to know.

Price gouging and over spending will not be tolerated and there will be consequences, and there has been in the past. Let us know about offences and will be happy to decide on punishment as a group (if there part of the club of coarse)

[Mathius]

I did some pretty hefty spending at MGC a few weeks ago. In an effort to obey (get it? OBEY!) the rules I'll post prices paid if need be. Keep in mind they won't be exact as I bought in bulk to receive better deals.

[Sparky]

bah...pm me if ya want mathius but this club is really geared towards ebay and its fuckery.

Ah okay. Good point.  I wanted to play by example.

Assuming that you're talking about Dynastic Hero, $50 for a sealed Japanese copy is a rip-off.  $50 for an open copy is highway robbery.

[Sparky]

It has been awhile... New members are always welcome

[thesteve]

cadash loose i think i payed about $12

[Ceti Alpha]

I was going through my Sparky box of goodness and noticed that I have somehow misplaced my eBay card.

[Sparky]

Ceti!!!! Sorry man I will send out a new card to you..  And new Members still wanted
Thinking of other Xmas goodies for our members this year

[PunkCryborg]

Still a proud member, thanks sparky! Ive noticed a lot of pro gouging and too much collecting/not enough gaming so i challenge newer members to.sign up and get down to playing their turbos and not just looking at them on a shelf.

[Marll]

Still a proud member. Ebay prices are fucking stupid these days. Local ads don't come up with much either, so probably time to hit up a couple local game shops on my lunch breaks to see what's up.

[CGQuarterly]

Proud member here, too.  I don't think I've bought a single Turbob on eBay since joining.  Bid on some stuff with eSnipe, but haven't won anything.  Prices are just getting silly.

Agreed. The prices are getting so bat-shit insane that it's starting to make me go bat-shit insane. It's like this site is a tiny (TINY!) island in a see of greed.

[DildoKKKobold]

How is Necromancer still on this list? He spent $3,2600 on Magical Chase.

[OldSchoolGamer]

Holy fuckballs how did I miss this!? I must be slipping in my old age . Been outa the game for a bit but im back! I hate egay...always have. I dont sell on there and best yet rarely ever buy from there. I come back after some time away and I see prices now and it makes me want to  . How the fuck did everything triple in price in a year something!!!! Now I am trying to rebuild my turbo collection and shits so damn high...fuck these god damn hipsters and people that only are into gaming for the $$. Its about the FUN OF THE GAME!

Anywho i'd love to sign up if I can!  Good seeing ya again Sparks!

[NecroPhile]

So that's what earned me my Gold Fucking Star!

that's kinda why i like it here.
i'm so glad i've got *most* of the TG stuff I want already, mostly via this place right here.

starting to doubt i'm ever  getting a US Valis III.

[KnightWarrior]

I don't like ebay for games, Even Turbo and SNES Stuff

[Sparky]

OSG I have your address and will send out your card with your laser disc, have not forgot.
And the rest of you f eBay fuckers I will announce a gift for you guys on November 1st and like NecroPhile said I am handing out gold star member cards as well to some long time members

[bartre]

you should send out some "1 year coins"
staying away from ebay like my business professor has to stay away from booze.

[BigusSchmuck]

You should have a f@ck amazon too while you are at it. Amazon turbo prices are almost identical to Ebay prices. Might have to join this elite group someday...

Perhaps I am. Plox explain.

[NecroPhile]

I do not own a copy of Magical Chase, nor would I ever spend $3,2600 (or whatever crazy sum you were trying to type) on a game.  Duh.

$3,200 was the price it sold for recently on ebay. Your post, when I saw it, did not seem sarcastic, it seemed quite genuine that you were happy to get it for less than your $4,000 bid.

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=12933.msg255874#msg255874

How you'd expect people to get that post was sarcastic is beyond me.

EDIT: Wow, I did hellishly mistype. It was $3,206, not $3,2600, which is apparently a rare version of the atari 2600.

[Sparky]

DarkKobold you are one serious dude, i think a lot of people knew he was joking, but whatever now ya know.

That's where actually looking around/trying to learn/acclimate to a place is SO much better than flailing around damn near out the gate  ;)

[NecroPhile]

For someone that claims to know me so well (about how I spend all my time attacking others and have never sold or given anything away here), you'd think you'd have recognized that for the obvious sarcasm that it was and that there's no way that I'd bought that M.C.  I guess you don't know me quite as well as you thought, eh?

[Firebomber7]

I guess I can join... but I've never bought or sold on eBay in my life.

[vxbinaca]

Ebays been a mixed bag...

I got fucked over on one Turbo game (Keith Courage) on eBay. Seller said complete, wasn't complete. No hucard sleeve or comic that came with the game. Had make an offer, started at 7, he worked me to 10 saying it was complete. It wasn't. When haggleing deal, wouldn't take "it's a pack-in title, it came with every TG" as an excuse. I should have paid $5 shipped honestly. Had a glue spot holding card to case, cleaned up and put on replacement sleeve.

On the other hand, I got a cheap lot of 2 games and Tennekoe Bank for $7 shipped from HK. They're used but it's not that bad.



I'd rather shop here honestly. I just got a white PCE/Tennokoe 2 and controller from Mishran. Which was a hell of a lot easier and cheaper than eBay.

I come fresh from the SNES/Super Famicom world, where games like Milons Secert Castle 2 are like $140 cib. Even Zelda 3 is getting up there these daysand it's one of the most common games on the system.

[Mathius]

Yeah KC is a $5 game at the most.

FYI-That glue in the case under the Hu Card was supposed to be there.

[vxbinaca]

I know, I just put the sleeve there and cleaned the residue off the HuCard. It's still there actually.

[VestCunt]

Sounds like you didn't know the game had a comic when you bought it.
