That guy is a dick.
Is there enough proof to turn him in?
I doubt e-bay will care or find it in there best interest.  but yeah I think there is more enough on this board alone to be pretty sure he's quite unethical.  I have offered to buy that game from him before, it was listed as a BIN before he had it had it up as an auction, he wouldn't take 45 then either.

0 bids, I wonder why....   I swear, I think some of the TG-16 sellers on ebay think that these things are Neo-Geo games or something.

$11.00 is definitely high but I don't know if its really gouging (especially since it has a lower auction starting price)

He may have changed it. I seem to remember this auction being for multiple games when it was posted.

That Victory Run auction had a BIN of 1100.00 or something like that, so he did change it.  May have been an honest mistake I guess.

$150 for a TG-16, three crap games and no controller and that's the best pic he could bother to use?

I don't get this listing at all.  He's asking $75, but then calling out sealed game collectors and people that use the word RARE all the time?  So he just put it up for show?

From the look of it, he is mocking these forums, or agreeing with them. He makes reference to the seller I was bitching about. (FINAL LISTING!) 

QuoteI will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!
This is what makes me feel like he reads these forums, and is mocking them.

Anyway, this seems like a prank, not a legit listing. It only costs $0.05 to make a joke bullshit listing, which clearly met its intention by pissing one person off. Granted, that particular person has a pretty low threshold for being pissed off.

Quote from: Nulltard on 11/15/2012, 01:18 PMit reminds me of something I might do to poke fun at the gougers whose auctions would be listed alongside mine. If anyone actually was going to pay hundreds or thousands for some BS VGA graded listing, then saw this one, they might reconsider the validity and value of the auction that wasn't posted in jest.

Combined with the fact that there are currently at least 2 auctions on Ebay that poke fun at the gougers, I would suspect that these are the product of one or more forum members who have taken their gouge-venting to the next level and are now mocking gougers on their home turf.
<<whispers>> Ya i agree with ya Nulltard :)

My guess is typo, 71.99 is probably a realistic price.

EDIT: Looking at his other items, I'm not so sure. Looks like he has been smoking some good stuff, or he really sucks at trying to figure out Yen to dollar conversions.

This, however, is ridiculous:

$68 for a list of games!

The SNES version seems to be a bit rare and tends to fetch $80-120 loose from what I've seen.
