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

esteban · 04/02/2017, 07:26 AM

These responses are amazing. Not one, not two...but three entertaining responses that just get better and better: "Believe it or not, I genuinely care about people..." so can I send you some free CDRs?

I reported all of his shit last night and it looks like it is gone now... there is a first.

Or,

Gynt just told him that he was evil...

God confirmed for OBEYING the pc engine.

Okay that was funnier than anything I could have thought up.

Psycho Punch · 04/02/2017, 09:49 AM

And God saw every bootleg CDR that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

Shai Halud was displeased.

Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of Him.
May His passage cleanse the world..... of profiteer scum.

"Seriously GOD did some amazing stuff last night for me."
The fact that he brings up God is a dead giveaway that he knows he's a piece of shit for doing this and is desperate for positive attention that says otherwise.

Tell him you spoke to God and he's definitely going to Hell.

Hah.

Tell him you will start speaking in Tongues and just mash the keyboard. rtewkljhgfdsdsafdsfdsajhfdsa

Okay this was a $100 game last I knew. What the heck happened?

seieienbu · 04/04/2017, 02:19 AM

Sigh. The game and Granzort are the two titles that interest me in a Supergrafx console. Obviously I should've jumped on it years ago but either way, that price is straight up ridiculous.

MisterCrash · 04/04/2017, 07:42 AM

I completed my SuperGrafx collection late last year. My copy of Aldynes cost me 13,500 yen (with a beat up cardboard sleeve), and my copy of 1941 cost me 19,900 yen (without the sleeve). I honestly feel that I got a pretty good deal on both of them given market prices.

But yeah, $300+ for Aldynes seems pretty excessive. I can see a copy for 14,000 yen from an online store in Japan, and you can probably save a good 20-30% by finding a copy on YJA.

Hitjapan gonna hitjapan. Especially on anything higher end.

CrackTiger · 04/04/2017, 11:15 AM

The pricier SuperGrafx gamrs demand a premium when they have the cardboard, just like TurboChips.

deubeul · 04/04/2017, 11:32 AM

I bought Aldynes with the cardboard less than 60€ 3 years ago, it was the usual asked price then.

TheClash603 · 04/04/2017, 01:51 PM

My annual tax return splurge last year was SuperGrafx games. I purchased 1941, Daimakaimura, Aldynes, and Granzort for less than 1941 sells by itself one year later. I can't figure this shit out.

And that shitbag set a reserve price.

And those idiots bidding like crazy.

And Fudoh being venerated on the shmups forums.

That shit starts to really get on my nerves.

Can't fix stupid apparently. Just burn a cdr...

I still think it's neato but would be better 4:3, and $750 seems rather steep.

I want to believe it's a joke listing, but there is an awful lot of Nintendo tards out there.

If I buy it, do I receive a receipt receipt?

Warbucks · 05/02/2017, 12:14 PM

That's a first.. Auction for just the receipt.

Hmmm... maybe if I win this auction for cheap, I can use the receipt to return my NES Classic.

munchiaz · 05/02/2017, 02:03 PM

god i hope thats a joke. But you know theres some tard out there contemplating buying it for completeness sake

Gentlegamer · 05/02/2017, 03:38 PM

NoSexGex · 05/02/2017, 03:42 PM

I've never seen something like this for sale before. I've heard of collectors finding original receipts for their old games and think they're cool, but i've never thought of them being worth $$

Would be funny to start chaining those.

"Receipt of a receipt of a receipt of an original NES purchase receipt. Includes the receipt of the receipt. $25 shipped".

Time to buy a dot matrix receipt printer and old thermal paper.

pc_kwajalein · 05/02/2017, 09:34 PM

I wish I was wealthy enough to spend money on a scrap of paper that clearly shows someone else spent money.

hahahahahaha
I know the guy who bought this! He was sending me pictures asking if it's a good buy. I think they agreed on $6,000. Guy who bought it runs booths and sells a lot at conventions

I think his game plan is to keep what he wants/resell everything else to break even. So just your every day lot lizard

Warbucks · 05/05/2017, 10:28 AM

I imagine he'll be selling everything at inflated prices. From what I've seen, some of these people walk into swap meets just loaded. And except to drop big money and walk out with cool stuff. Not realistically looking at what's an appropriate amount to spend.

It was actually $6,500 he spent btw, like 6K wasn't bad enough right

mitsuman · 05/15/2017, 09:51 AM

Not really a gouging story, but more of the opposite.

So I put my Turbob collection up on a local gaming FB group. Not for sale, just to show off a little.
Now, it is nothing remarkable. A PCE Duo with region switch from Keith Courage, a multi tap, 5 controllers, and 13 games.

I had someone ask me if I'd be willing to sell. I told him to make me an offer. So he says he did some "research" online and found bundles like mine on Ebay for $200-$250...

I told him if he is finding things like that on eBay, to go ahead and buy those instead.

NecroPhile · 05/15/2017, 11:26 AM

Heh. An attempted reverse gouge.

Yeah, I leaned that reply years ago from dealing with buying and selling car parts. There was always one person who would pull the "Well, I can find that for $XX all day long on (eBay, local forum, online..).

Gypsy · 05/15/2017, 02:42 PM

I actually did it before awhile back when someone made me an offer on a game I wasn't even looking to sell as well. They said well it's $x.xx at Gamestop. I was like okay go buy it from Gamestop and good luck finding one complete or at all...
