I wonder if they are one and the same with http://www.ncsxshop.com/

I use to shop from them years ago and personally never had issues with them. Clearly they gouging on that particular item.

Anyone else think this guy is also the same guy from Saint Louis who pretends not to speak English well.
also look at his seller feedback, one of the negatives is from canada/swiss - these guys never quit do they.

OMG it pains him so much to part with his collection. Guys he cares about this system so much. It's okay if he charges outrageous amounts, and makes silly claims.

Funny thing is there was a guy selling NIB copies of both games for... i think... $15 apiece a year or so ago. I bought a copy of both.

now I guess the resellers are hoping that everyone forgot about that guy and are trying to skull-fuck the market.

Both were up for auction 2-3 weeks ago, sealed. One went for $28, the other $30. They must be hoping for some REALLY short term memory. I was planning on bidding, but forgot to. Oh well.

plcards back up to his old tricks again..bought the game for $40 via BIN, tried reselling it but when he couldn't flip for a profit he used his mult account to make sure he didn't lose money..

FYI: He is now using a new name to shill bid his stuff up but I haven't figured it out yet.. the ebay hidden name is n***n (137). I guess after he was outed last time he changed names and smartly he isn't leaving himself shill feedback anymore so to cover his tracks.

All of the bidding history on that account is to plcards own auctions (copy and paste link, hyperlink doesnt work):

Shill bidding has begun on the below auction auction. plcards is using his other name (cars856) to jack up price. cars856 is currently the high bidder. I recommend all my compatriots in this thread report the item for shill bidding!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Dynastic-Hero-TurboGrafx-16-Complete-TG-TG16-Turbo-Duo-/140866196637?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20cc47949d

Report item here: http://ocs.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportItemMember&items=140866196637&seller=plcards&active=1&state=1

Category: Listing practices
Reason for Report: Fraudulent listing activities
Detailed Reason: Seller is using other accounts to inflate item price

Where do you see cars856? I see 5***5 as the highest bidder. c*****6 is nowhere to be seen.

You can't see it but if you look at other auctions cars856 has won off plcards you can conclude it.

c****6 would not be what his hidden name is on there. cars856 name is hidden with 5***5. My name is sirhcman on ebay and when I make a bid mine is hidden with the following: i***a

plcards name is hidden on bids with c***d

If you look at this item (http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=120995198405) you can see that plcards sold it to 5***5. If you look at plcards feedback (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=plcards&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560&rt=nc&iid=140866196637&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller) you can see it matches to the second item which was won by cars856

cars856 has been bidding on rc vehicles, football cards, and turbo games all being sold by plcards. Of cars856 bids over the past 30 days 84% of them have been to plcards account. With these factors, the 5***5 hidden name, the feedback for i****a being the same as cars856 it is stands to reason that it is one in the same.

plcards sold baby formula to cars856 even.. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=140806008209
August 28th feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=cars856&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers

Lastly cars856 "sold" a fatboy front fender on ebay to plcards. It would be a lot of amazing coincidences if this wasn't shill bidding. Second item on the following link: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=cars856&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller

Be aware that plcards also opened up this account tp60000 and has started buying and selling under that name as well. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=tp60000&ftab=AllFeedback&rt=nc

At the very least it could be 2 people working together but my suspicion it is one person. You can have two different names/addresses tied to each account and can even proxy or spoof your ip to make sure one isn't the same as the other. Either way it is shill bidding in my opinion and I believe the auction I spoke about prior should be reported.

Hopefully all the gibberish above makes sense. If you guys don't approve that this should be in the ebay gouging thread I will delete, I just feel it my duty to help the thread rid ebay of this shill bidding crap on our beloved turbos.

It would be the nuclear option. BIN definitely has value on many products but it's an option being abused by the neckbeards in the collecting community.
