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

[o.pwuaioc]

Sigh.  This is how the gougers win!  Everyone out bidding each other!  When will the madness stop!?

You're right. Let's all pitch in $.25 and just share the thing communally.

[Ninja16608]

Love the description. MORE MINT!!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/310966153090

It's a fake.

You may be right, looking at all the pictures the only ones that are blurry as hell are the ones of the actual card....Hmmmmm Do we have a case of douche baggery here?

[madboom0522]

Hey ninja turtle... Why don't you sell your mint in box copy?......

Being Fake?!?!?!

I'm pretty sure it's a tad blurry because of the sleeve and not because of any trickery.

[Ninja16608]

I'm pretty sure it's a tad blurry because of the sleeve and not because of any trickery.

Might be, I had not even noticed, not sure about anyone else but if I am going to shell out that kinda cash I would want clear pics, and selling it I would want to make sure anyone willing to sped that kinda loot can clearly see it to avoid 100 mails asking do you have clear pics :-) but that's just me.

[pc_kwajalein]

You'd think this guy would at least throw in some actual mints for that price. sheesh.

He should sprinkle Andes Mints all around it.

That along with candy canes, some Wrigley's gum, and a plush doll of Peppermint Patty.


"That's not YOUR auction is it, Chuck?"

[Mzo]

Thought I could get the EMPTY BOX for Dragon's Curse, even if it ended up being a little expensive.  I put down what I think is a ridiculous amount, $45.  Ended at $150.

What the fuck?

[ToyMachine78]

For a fucking box!!!!!??? Must be like that old gouge eBay post for  samurai warrior... "The box is rarer than the game!" WTF!?

[seieienbu]

On the one hand, I'm sure statement about the boxes is true.  On the other hand, who cares?  It's a god-damn box!

[Lochlan]

How many times have you guys seen this box for sale over the past year?  I've seen more copies of Magical Chase and Dynastic Hero than Dragon's Curse boxes.  It's a tough one to find.

[Ninja16608]

I'm on a mission to scan all the boxes... but I give up. All the rares (and many of the commons)... I'm scanning my ass as a placeholder for them.

"ONLY 1 ON EBAY" titles are always hilarious. They're advertising that they're trying to rip you off.

[jelloslug]

I'm on so many missions that I'll never complete any of them.  I'll have to check with sparky to see what he's got. Jello- i remember your thread about finding/scanning the boxes... where's them scans be?  I have this dream of embedding 3d models of the boxes, games, and hardware on DoxPhile kind of like world of war craft does in their armory, but it will probably never happen. I'm just trying to keep up with The Old Rover on number of concurrent projects.

I have several more boxes that I can scan also.  I'm sure between a few of us here we could get 75% of them scanned right now.

The box was originally $51.99 back in early 90's.

Lol

[synbiosfan]

I bought a new one for $50.12

Of course it arrived after I sent my Duo-R off to Turbokon for modding

That's Working Designs for you...  They also planned a special edition with a different picture on the box and a guide.

I wish they had released the guide, I got stuck on a certain part on the box and was unable to finish.  Since there was no "save feature", I had to give up.

[CrackTiger]

"Rarer then game".

As funny as that sounds, they picked one of the least rare Turbo games, box to game ratio-wise. The loose box may even be rarer then sealed MIB copies.

But obviously every game's box is less common that its game.

[dallaspattern]

Hahaha, if I had a nickel for every over priced boxed copy of CF2...

Is this seller on crack?

I litterly bought three months ago two copies of this game not only MIB but SEALED for his buy it now price with free shipping......got them inspected the seal (to my lamen eyes looks legit and not rescaled).

The seller had I think 5 of them for sell. I only bought two because the price was so good.


Only thing that sucks is now I need to find a open copy lol...oh the irony.

It's the obsessive part of me. Also known as collectarditus

If you don't open one of your copies, not only will people think less of you, you will also be a bit of a fuck. Not a lovely evening slow romance turned to intense heat, mind you, but a fuck.

I am sincerely disappointed. . .

I see where you are coming from.  But the second copy is honestly for trade towards a game I have yet to add.

As for the need to open and play a game which is interactive and unlike films passive I get as well.  But this is not a rare game. It is easy enough to find open to play.  In that regard I think a few unopened copies how ever may exist can continue their sealed lives as parts of a collectors well collection.  They if anything are representations of the games fresh. 

If whome ever receives a sealed game new or old desires to leave it sealed that is their choice as at some point the game will pass hands and someone will open it....even if it is just time that unbinds it creating a unsealed game that if anything if very ready to be played with....a per verbal virgin game...

Now if I were to go and blah grade these sealed games thus removing the choice of anyone ever opening and playing them that I think would be a step to far removed from what gaming is.  The simple act of enjoying the game. Be it to beat it compelte it or master it with the next high score has always been my attraction to gaming since I first owned an Atari and would play with my father........

As long as you're not VGA grading them I have no problem.  Buying games for trade bait isn't so bad.  There's people here that do that with big game lots.  Just don't expect to get much from a sealed copy of CF2.  That's about as common as they come for CD games.

[esteban]

Mmmmmm.... per verbal virgins. Thems the best kind!  With each word spoken that cherry reseals itself, and not just proverbally. I'm talking literally, holmes. It's like bubble wrap city all the poppin' you can do with a per verbal virgin.

The perpetual virgin...this is an intriguing concept.

It is, absolutely, a rare breed.

Speaking of virgins, I vividly remember an apostle of yore who was fond of asking anyone within earshot, "Mary, Mary—why you buggin'?"

As I thought...it being a common game that is....

Firstly, arrrright...

Secondly.... just open one of your two sealed copies...if you actually intend to play the damn thing, don't buy another, that's pretty... yeah....

Thirrrdly, having a sealed copy for trade bait, I guess can be a thing... I guess. blah.

Fourrrthly, The is/isn't rare factor shouldn't really be a thing. The fact is that you said you were going to maybe purchase an open copy of a game that you have twice, sealed, instead of simply opening one. Eff.

FIVE5 mai daddy gawt me into gaming on an atari 5200 which had been out for a thousand years by the point I was playing it. Haunted by Empire Strikes Back and ET to this day. Effffff. Thankfully an NES was purchased shortly after, but then again my big bro was a butthole NES hog. So... yeah.
