@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

That might be one of the best deals I have every seen!
Even if it was a good deal, I would not deal with the person, just because of this...

Someone PM Nulltard
That box is in about as nice of condition as i've ever seen... but i wouldn't go a dime over $250 for it.

That guy is a tool and always has phantom bidders on his items. I e-mailed him several times about items that kept pooping up after supposedly being sold. He most likely did this as a joke but none the less he is up there on his prices....

It looks like they used it to scrape wallpaper off a wall.

You guys don't even see the worst parts of these eBay ads.  For me to buy this and have it shipped to Canada it's $10.40 for shipping and $17.60 in import fees.

Noooooooo.  Last time I me someone did that they DID raise the price then it SOLD for that price.

My most recent favorite comes from a brick&mortar store, not the Bay... but I could hardly hold back that laughter at the sight of an $80 price tag on a fatty PS2 with a broken faceplate. This was in a local pawn shop in my area.

Turbo Zone Direct was the company formed after TTi closed its doors.  They took over TTi's service obligations and bought up lots of new old stock for resale.

Jesus fucking christ... I can't believe some sucker actually fucking paid $1560 for this lot.  These instant collectards are fucking driving up prices on anything and everything. When will the madness stop?

I'm going to put a dog turd on ebay and list it as RARE and MINT just to see if it'll break 4-figures too...
You can't put a price on a quick/easy collection that took no amount of research beforehand. Pure win.

Do you really think that lot was really that expensive? Just getting a boxed turbo grafx, booster plus, and duo is more than $700 nowadays.

GoldenWheels

I know I always seem to pay more than anyone here thinks is even a fair deal it seems. Makes me wonder if I'm looking in all the wrong places or if people just don't pay attention to the going rates on stuff.

I wouldn't have paid that amount for that lot (I like building a collection anyway) but I didn't go "OMG THE HORRAH" either. I just kind of shrugged--there's way worse out there.

seieienbu

All things considered, that deal would save the buyer a good deal of money assuming he was going to buy everything there piecemeal.  Cotton goes for up to $400  alone.  Vasteel and Lords of Thunder for around $100.  3 games not even including the system and those three individually sell for over a third of the total price. 

It sucks, but that's TG16 in the year of our lord 2015.

Are you fucking kidding? lol... man... let's break it down with rough ebay price estimates. I'm pulling these out of my ass based on what i've seen actually sell, but feel free to revise as needed. And i'm not even going to touch teh PCE stuff or anything that sells for less than $100.

$600 - CIB Turbo Duo megaminty (with cd issues that could be fixed for <$100)
$200 - CIB TG16
$250 - CIB TurboBrewster+
$100 - 2x CIB TurboSticks
$350 - CIB Soldier Blade
$150 - CIB Aero Blasters
$150 - CIB Super Star Soldier
$150 - CIB Somer Assault
$150 - CIB Air Zonk
$150 - CIB Raiden
$125 - Vasteel
$100 - Lords of Thunder
$100 - CIB Last Alert
$500 - MOTHERFUCKING COTTON!

My math skills indicate this already clears $3000.  There's probably another 1-2k that could be had from the rest of the lot.
Ha! No I wasn't, and I'm certainly not questioning how you value them either.

I wouldn't have paid that for multiple reasons (I don't care for boxes being a big one, so I don't pay anything for them among and have very little knowledge of their addition to the value) so I didn't even really get into valuing it other than a quick eyeball test on the hardware. I thought you were honestly complaining. I know I should expect an 11 on the 10 point sarcasm scale here--I do know better.

(I don't collect the CD stuff so my knowledge there is probably pretty bad as well. That doesn't help)

NecroPhile

I wish I would've seen that auction so I could buy it, separate everything out for resale, and get rich off of nully's BIN prices.
