Awesome Steve, I know you'll quickly nurse it back to health with screen mod to boot.

Bernie · 01/23/2012, 04:16 PM

This posting is classic - "Yes it is new. I did test it at one point probably about ten years ago." So i guess it's not new...

Not even free shipping with the BIN... geez

HAHA!! A overpriced NEW Duo thats not exactly new, plus a retarded seller that doesnt even know what region it is.... What moron...

thesteve · 01/23/2012, 07:11 PM

just sent him a msg
"do note that these systems were available in NTSC and PAL.
PAL being a major modification of the system, and somewhat difficult to reverse.
also note most failures of these systems are shelf failures, meaning if it hasnt been tested in ten years test it again."

djolof · 01/23/2012, 07:31 PM

Hahaha! Nicely done! Waiting for him to update his listing info on ebay...

Dear steve_the,

Thanks for the info. It's NTSC for sure and I guess I should fire it up for a few seconds. I'll update the page accordingly. Thanks again! -Jake

96.2 feedback rating? Even it were just $75.00, I wouldn't bite. People with scores that low usually have a lot of complaints against them.

Yes. By ebay gouging standards we're all filthy rich! Since rich people get so many freebies on things just from the status of being rich, these jokers should be contacting *us* to offer this stuff up for free or for an autograph.

Well, technically it has been refurbished and improved. So, that part is ok. Price is a little on the high side however.

Not exactly gouging (under $20 wow), but I"m surprised that there are new copies of Panic Bomber still floating around.Thought about buying a few and holding a raffle for the hell of it once my tax returns come in...

That same seller had that collection for sale last year for what seemed like forever, same description and everything. Guess he stil has it, altho I cannot for the life of me see why... lmao.

Sadler · 01/30/2012, 11:40 AM

Magical Chase. $4900. Last sealed copy in the world. (No I don't think it's the last sealed copy and even it was, $4900?!)

$4900 ...... Shipping is only $3.49 though ;0)

CrackTiger · 01/30/2012, 03:29 PM

Isn't that half as much as the last sealed copy was asking for and about what the last unsealed copy was asking?

What a bargin, if he was asking $5000 then I would be pissed. Seriously someone needs their head checked.

MotherGunner · 01/30/2012, 03:49 PM

With that kind of money, I could buy a second car...

alexsduo · 01/30/2012, 07:54 PM

15 for a sealed pce game aint too bad..

I love looking on ebay for stupid shit, like electronics chargers, ipods, etc. And all the time I see someone selling a $5000 ipod, like this moron. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-80gb-ipod-classic-5G-5th-WARRANTY-BLACK-GOOD-SCREEN-/130617399608?pt=Other_MP3_Players&hash=item1e69675938. Maybe it is a good idea, as then every other thing you have for sale is "cheap", and also dumb people buy shit by accident a bunch too...

I thought the last sealed copy sold for $2600.

I am fairly certain I have met that guy. For those in the Chicagoland area, there is a flea-market of sorts in Palatine. It is a shady little place, but I enjoy going there from time to time. There is a dedicated vintage video game seller, which actually has a lot of stuff... The prices are not great, but that is to be expected. I remember asking if they had said game, and he said that he did. I think he said he had a sealed copy, of which I want to have no part of, but I wanted a loosey goosey to play. There were random people with all kinds of stuff, I did see some snes games like a year ago (probably not still there

He did say it was "perhaps" the last copy..

Samurai Ghost · 01/31/2012, 09:20 PM

Didn't someone sell a sealed copy of MC on here for $600 a while back? To me that's a much more reasonable price for a game, but even then I'd rather pick up an LT ...

I think D-Lite was asking $600 for a sealed one, but that was several years ago (I want to say 2006 but might be wrong). Obviously the price has gone up since then.

Thats sooo fucked up. Someone here is selling that too. WTF!! Sent this to the seller.
"Yes, I have a question.. Whats your screenname over at pcefx.com so I can call you out in the forums. You should be ashamed of yourself gouging people like that, for a 25.00 game and a 10.00 OST. Arkhan is gonna have a fit, and I hope noone is stupid enough to actually buy this."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

SMF · 02/03/2012, 12:38 AM

I think if we find out who did it they should be banned from the forums.

roflmao · 02/03/2012, 12:54 AM

And banned from buying anything from the F@ck eBay gang. I wouldn't sell to this guy if I knew who it was.

Unless, of course, it's Ark himself trying to make his stuff more valuable to collectors. In that case, good on ya!

MotherGunner · 02/03/2012, 02:45 AM

I sold to someone from here from "Elizabethtown, PA" But I deleted my pm's. Crap. That really sucks, he straight up added the soundtrack too.

Vecanti · 02/03/2012, 04:07 AM

I wonder if Ark kept a list of who all the games went to so he can track the #s? ;) Either way I'm never selling mine.

Mishran · 02/03/2012, 04:37 AM

Elizabethtown, PA isnt but a couple hour drive from me. Find out who it is and I'll go teach him a lesson.

SMF · 02/03/2012, 04:50 AM

Someone could always buy it now not pay and post the addy on the forums so we all could send hateful snail mail. Just really pisses me off that someone would do this to a forum member and could still be pretending that hes all about F@CK EBAY.

jperryss · 02/03/2012, 07:13 AM

Stupid question: Is Insanity still available direct? If so, maybe Ark could spam eBay with Buy-It-Now listings and effectively bury this guy.

Yes it is.

Or he should just post the same exact thing labeled "1/30" for like 20 bucks less than the asking price of the other one. Then even hardcore collectorz couldn't justify it.

Considering I have COPY X at my house, and 300 copies or something left, I should just sign a ton of them and write random numbers on them and sell them for 20$ a piece.

When I get home, I just might do it. I'll release a ton of 25/30 copies.

I'll find out who did it once I skim Paypal for the 25th jackass to send me 30$

Once I get a chance, I'm going to report it TEH EBAYS so they get removed.

EDIT: I found out who it is. PayPal + Ebay ID + stupid person using real name as user name = easy.

Daniel Barry, you're on my list.

Seriously though, the guy should know better then to mess with Ark. Plus trying to screw a TG16 homebrewer? How low can you get? I mean, trying to sell MEGA RAREZ for insane prices is nothing new, but trying to make money off of someone's hard work directly like this is shameful really.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/03/2012, 10:49 AM

Jokes on him. It's not new and unplayed.

I play every copy before I mail it. Sucker.
