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

NecroPhile · 07/02/2013, 04:50 PM

"I can guarantee you there has never been a sealed Godzilla to ever pop up in this condition."

Heh, not even in 1994 or whenever it was these came out?

seieienbu · 07/02/2013, 05:13 PM

A factory sealed copy that (as far as I can tell) isn't sealed? Yeah, there may have never been a version of godzilla with those two things together at once.

bob · 07/02/2013, 05:30 PM

I want godzilla BAD. Damn gougers and dickheads that split the case from game. And NO manual anywhere.

tggodfrey · 07/02/2013, 08:23 PM

Quote from: seieienbu on 07/02/2013, 09:05 AMYou could buy Godzilla CD and the case from that guy for $165. Uh, honestly I don't know how much the game generally goes for, I'd rather it was in one auction or whatever, but that's definitely not the least reasonable thing I've ever heard of...

125.00 tops and thats the ebay going rate!

Quote from: wmacmonagle on 07/02/2013, 04:32 PMI think seller typed too many 9's. It is supposed to be 199.99 =)

Does no one look at their auctions any more? If that's the case, they why doesn't anyone ever put a typo in for Godzilla for $1.99?

That doesn't explain the U.N. Squadron at $500 either. Two zeros as a typo? I don't think so.

I wouldn't pay no more then $180 for the lot. With cases I would go up to $210.

I see, Every case is missing but at least I could use some old CD cases. What are people doing with these cases? I get people tossing SNES and NES boxes as they are card board but the TG16 had some nice cases, so sad.

And $20 each is high IMO. I'd put a $5 price on all the Hu's save MM, which to me is the $10-15 range specially since they be loose. But I would not even need/want any game form that lot...it's like the bottom of the barrel for Hu's, it's only missing Falcon.

Being loose, not even a complete US collection collector would want them...these are gamer copies.

CrackTiger · 07/05/2013, 12:16 PM

Beyond the hefty discount a lot of that size should include, any time you try to sell a bunch of games with many common or undesirable titles, the ones everyone is most likely to have already and are the most difficult to sell individually... let alone a lot that is 95% composed of the least valuable games for a console and the remaining 5% made up of slightly less common games... what you're really selling is a burden. Even for a reseller. So realistically, the asking price for that 24 game lot should be $100.

NecroPhile · 07/05/2013, 12:18 PM

Gah! That Dynastic Hero gives me a sad.

I've wondered that for years when I find loose hu cards. Missing the outer cardboard box? Yeah, fine, but a cd case? Made of hard plastic? That just doesn't make sense to me...

I sent him an offer on the Super Air Zonk he has listed. I offered $250. He declined with a note of "LOL...Last one listed 2006, went for $646". Which I found amusing since I sold one on eBay in Sept. 2010 for $240. I didn't bother responding back to it though.

Here is a good one. VGA graded Pac-Land. You can get it sealed on Ebay for $50 shipped from two other sellers right now, and grade it yourself if your into that thing and still save $400+ I would imagine.

If you wait I bet Pac-Lands come up all the time sealed for $30-40 to further enhance the savings.

QuoteNEC Turbo Grafx 16 System Complete In Box & Original Components GREAT - $225 (Briargate)

To all my TG16 and PC Engine gamers. I am selling one of my TG16 systems from my personal collection. One owner. I have had this since day one. System is used with light surface scratches from normal use. But no damage or cracks. See pics. System comes with original Box, manuals and official NEC turbo pad and official AC and RF adapters. I still play this and yes it works just fine. System comes with box and manual and styrafome shell and the all rare black label "thank you" cardboard that goes with the styrafome. Box is in good condition. See pics. When I got the system from my parents and after a few years of using the box as a carry case I decided to cover the entire box with clear glossy tape. It has kept the box nice and shiny and in one piece.
