score 1 for the good guys?

[Ninja16608]

No doubt, and I needed these titles, I never thought I would own them. Just glad they didn't go to some dirtbag reseller

[owlnonymous]

For Reals?

:::coughFAKEcough::

[ClodBusted]

I got even paid for taking Magical Cheese from another person's hands.

[Ninja16608]

No not fake, and my shiny duo disturbs you huh nully, don't hate, just masturbate and think of my rarez glossy duo.......... just don't be near it when you finish up.... don't want to have to re buff it lol.. Speaking of that,, some asshat was claiming I said it was rare, I was simply looking to see if anyone had info on it, never claimed it was teh rarz.

[bob]

oh...that was you that fell for that thing on ebay?

[Ninja16608]

No I didn't buy it off Ebay I got it locally and was unsure of it, I have never seen one like it.

[bob]

oh.

[NecroPhile]

Speaking of that,, some asshat was claiming I said it was rare, I was simply looking to see if anyone had info on it, never claimed it was teh rarz.

I have heard of a run of duos that were glossy and very limited. I think I have one,,,can't be 100% but pretty damn sure.

Is 'very limited' not synonymous to 'rare'?

[Ninja16608]

No very limited means just that, Rare can be something that was mass produced but not commonly for sale.

[NecroPhile]

Sure, buddy.

[Ninja16608]

Necro, don't be mad, get glad, and make more friends, maybe you too could run across something like this. you get more flies with sugar :-)

[Medic_wheat]

That is pretty amazing.


Pays to have connections in our hobby. Not everyone cares about value and some are willing to pass along deals to the next.


Super jealous but it seems these went to someone who respect the games first and not the price tages some associate their collectables to be worth.

[NecroPhile]

I'm simply pointing out that you are incorrect.  What about that indicates that I'm mad about anything?

[Ninja16608]

I'm pretty sure I'm not incorrect. Lets look outside NEC, take Nintendo for instance, they have games that were massively produced and cost buku bux because no one wants to let them go, then on the other hand you have games that are really rare and cost next to nothing, Nintendo has a game out right now and as crappy as it is, it's A+ rare and cost 2 dollars because people do not know it's rare "Nintendogs" or some crap like that. So rarity is in the eye of the beholder i guess. As for me I could care less about rare, cost, etc... I collect, I play, I love my systems and when I do have the chance to get "rare" games I don't pass it up.

If you ask me MC is not as rare as some of the other games out there for the system, or other systems, it's the simple fact that people hoard and create a false rarity. Nintendo is doing that very thing right now with these stupid amiibos, producing "limited runs" of certain models, does that mean they are rare?? nope not at all, does it mean people will charge stupid prices for them?, more than likely. Bottom line the word "rare" or "Limited run" really means nothing anymore other than a price tag to some people. There is nothing that can't be had for a good price with patience and time.

If MC is so rare then why when one goes up on the market they are followed by a bunch more? It's people looking for a price point they think they can get, and when they see one go for tons of money they think it's time to cash in. So all in all, its a created state and a load of BS if you ask me, but thats just my 2 cents.

[Ninja16608]

Thanks Medic, I really don't care about what it's worth, to be honest it's worthless to me, it's just plastic and some code that anyone can recreate at any time. Not to mention any emulation of the games can be had for free. To me it's about the ability to play official games on real hardware designed to do so, along with the love of what the Turbografx means to me.

[NecroPhile]

I'm pretty sure I'm not incorrect.

That's cool.  It's hard to trust dictionaries and thesauruses.

Who said anything about price or value?

[Ninja16608]

Again it was not about the price, but the term rarity. I was speaking to Medic's post about the ridiculous pricing. Sorry I didn't quote I have more important things to do, like buy glossy duos and get fake games :-)

[mrhaboobi]

very nice of madboom. 

But that aside should you ever decide that the plastic and code isnt worth much to you then id very much like to take one or two of the cardboard boxes off your hands  

again.. very nice of madboom.. 3 bux each?

[geise]

So,your friends (who seems to be here on the forums) found them at a garage sale in that condition for chump change. After he bought them he just said "here ya go!"?

You know. Something of an acknowledgment.

I doubt madboom wants to comment on this cause it would pretty much prove something he's been trying to disprove since i've noticed him selling on here.

Ok me your theory. I like the gossip.

[o.pwuaioc]

This is so badly obvious a horrible case of trolling, but it's still hilarious. Gotta love them glossy duos! 

[VenomMacbeth]

There's already a thread for bragging about your "scores", teh "what did you buy today" thread.

[Sarumaru]

Guys,.. this is kinda sad. 

[TurboGrafx]

 

[TurboGrafx]

My friend just went to a flea market and got this game for 3 bucks. He just gave the game to me!

[o.pwuaioc]

Psh, my friend gave me a Commodore 65. He found two, and put the other on ebay. With that money, he even bought me a beer. What a pal!

[Ninja16608]

Oh that's right most of you ass hats have no idea that we are real life friends. Meeting on this forum first and then in real life, you guys remember real life right. Like I said they sit nicely on my shelf :-0)

[cr8zykuban0]

damn 3 bucks each? hahdkfkcisvzhskdlwnshxhxkqkbshxuclsjwhxhxj

sorry I got a little excited. but what a deal

[wildfruit]

So I take it these are getting raffled when u done with them right? If they're only worth $3 each they are ripe for raffling.

[mrhaboobi]

Oh that's right most of you ass hats have no idea that we are real life friends. Meeting on this forum first and then in real life, you guys remember real life right. Like I said they sit nicely on my shelf :-0)

would it be rude to ask what your total spend was, cos friends or not no one lets go of a magical chase for $3   The rest of the boxes look so nice too.. a very nice find..

[VenomMacbeth]

Madboom?  Madboom? Anyone?

I want to make a joke about CL Casual Encounters.... just not sure how to work it in here. Dammit.

In any event, 'gratz dude.  Scan dem manuals for me already! NSA fun!

You might be onto something..... There was that CL Rondo of Cum post that circulated in another thread.

Things that make you go hmmmm.

[Bernie]

Damn, nice find!

I'm sorry to be suspicious, but I highly doubt someone would be selling the games (Magical Chase, Bonk 3, Soldier Blade, Legend of Hero Tonma, and Super Star Soldier) you have listed at a yard sale or flea market. If you found one of those games and maybe china warrior, or some sports games then that is fine. So some random dude has just the rare games (most still with their rare out box) and asks just 3 dollars for them? Not to mention the conditions look mint, so the person would know what they had or they would have been beat up.  I am not buying it (and neither did your friend for 3 bucks), sorry.

[TurboGrafx]

Madboom?  Madboom? Anyone?

I am anxiously awaiting his post as well!

[Bernie]

I dunno.  There are certain friends I would do that kind of thing for.  Not saying this is for real or anything, but if I found some games for elcheap like that, there are certain peeps in this very forum I'd pass them off to.

[Bernie]

Hey, lets not forget our very own Sparky giving away Bonk III HuCARD with a repro manual in a raffle a couple years ago.

Word!  That was some nice rafflin'

[TurboGrafx]

I agree that there are some friends that I would hook up with some good games if I could. However, I wouldn't give them over 8000 dollars worth of games for free. Also, speaking of good friends, if he really did give them to you, why did you not give him anything in return (like not even his 3 dollars per game) lol.

All of the raffles and stuff you guys do are great here and are very appreciated. However, giving away a boxed magical chase for free is absurd.

[TurboGrafx]

  you guys are awesome here with giving stuff away!
