One of these days we're all going to gather in front of a nasty seller's house bearing torches and pitchforks all the while yelling incoherently. I'm not kidding. Don't forget to dress in your best farming duds.

Sorry, I take any opportunity to post this video:

[NightWolve]

Their best movie.

[seieienbu]

I saw that movie in theaters forever ago.  I was pretty bored throughout the whole thing until the ending when they spent a million dollars traveling around the US beating up people who posted shit on the internet.  At that point I decided the movie was brilliant.

For real? That movie rocked! Up there with Dude, Where's My Car if you ask me.

I too, saw the movie in theaters and thought it was great. Actually, an old couple got up and walked out after like the first 10 mins. That alone was worth the price of admission.

Anyways, back on topic. High prices, gouging, ugh.

[deubeul]

Pretty much everything Kevin Smith did since the first Clerks was brilliant (of its kind).

[seieienbu]

...Jersey Girl?  Zack and Miri?  Zack and Miri in particular felt to me like a guy tried to recapture something he lost in his youth but couldn't quite remember what it was that he lost.

Not Turbo Related, but the listing picture made this one:

I missed these ones 

I was making reference to Clerks I&II, Dogma, Mall rats, Red State, Jay&SB, even Top Cops ...

Yesterday night I started to watch Tusk, it was promising

I didn't think Jersey Girl was horrible...but it was his most "mainstream" movie (in terms of writing, he didn't stray too far), I reckon.

I am not the biggest fan of his POST-Chasing Amy films...they are really inconsistent.

I am glad a guy from Jersey has had some success and is able to voice his "voice" (at least, for some films). But he hasn't won my heart for 17+ years?

Clerks
Chasing Amy

Those are the only two things that hold up.

I love the *concept* of Dogma, but the execution was incredibly rough/inconsistent.

I didn't think Jersey Girl was horrible either. I liked George Carlin in it. But i could take or leave Affleck.

I agree that most stuff post-Chasing Amy is hit or miss. I still like it all to be honest, but i don't love it like i do Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Malrats.

Also, do you not like Malrats? Sure it was a flop, but i still like "Clerks in a mall".

Kevin Smith's original "Jersey Trilogy" is still three of my favorite comedies of all time, especially Clerks and Mallrats during my high school years.

But I definitely agree with Esteban here...

His post Chasing Amy work, Clerks II being kind of an exception, doesn't quite have that same level of intimacy and personal story telling behind it.

But I'll always love his original three films

Comic book men is a pretty funny show even if he is not in it too much....

People are really gouging Cadash nowadays. . .

Such a shame that such a good game for the TG is being gouged to all hell

[jlued686]

Do you listen to Tell 'Em Steve Dave? It's my favorite podcast.

And if you guys haven't checked out Red State, you really should. Great film and very unlike anything Smith's ever done. And then there's Tusk... Holy fuck... I still can't decide if I loved that movie or think it's completely idiotic. Either way, I enjoyed it.

[Mathius]

I always watch Clerks when I need a dose of 90s nostalgia. Wrapping myself up in a blanket made of early-mid 90s grunge era is a fave pastime of mine.

[seieienbu]

I think Mall Rats is my favorite of his movies.  It was a dumb teen movie that I saw in a theater when I was a dumb teen.

This seller has seperated the box and tray from the game and manual. If you buy them both you can have a complete Neutopia II for the low price of $279.90!!

Yeah, splitting up complete games/systems really irks me and it seems like more sellers are doing it.  This seller should have split up the box, tray, game, sleeve and manual all separately for even more profit.

[madboom0522]

He has done that for a few months now...

Watch it...That is the limited edition.....

Look out for anything from this seller... There is a phantom bidder on everyone of his games. Same id on everyone single one. No way that is a coincidence.

There are more than 10 only one does not have this bidder. Every time he listed before he had a reserve and never sold. Now no reserve and the same bidder on all of them save one game?.....

[grache]

I think this guy deserves some sort of award:
$3,999 Ys Book 1&2 NEW FACTORY 'd.
$4,999 Lords of Thunder PRISTINE GOLD LEVEL NEW FACTORY 'd.

and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

P.S.
What's a fair price for Ys Book 1&2?

P.P.S.
If anyone has a copy for sale PM me plz.

I paid $35 (!) for a sealed LoT at a brick and mortar (!!) game store just a few years back.

*sigh* please excuse me. I need to go bang my head against the nearest wall.

That whole "VGA Grading" scam has provided me with so many laughs. Even though I haven't had an active E-Bung account for over a decade, I still check it sometimes just for the lols.

Whoops. I was logged into ebay and accidently hit the one click bid button. Wonder if he will let me retract it.

honestly, im just trying to get my post count up and saw this mega thread..

 i mean i think its pretty ignorant to pay $1200+ for a hucard, that just says GOLD on it, i mean it has no significance outside japan or playability and its not even a cool looking game ? it just has a bee on it ? ..

its almost like if it was magical or something and granted the cardholder instant cool-ness, backstage access at the movie theaters, or willy wonkas chocolate factory.

I would bid on the gold famicom super bomberman cart instead of this one IMHO...

Its nothing personal Necromancer. Someone is now a proud owner of a

"" All-Star Power League 88""
The Price: 178,000 yen (approximately $2,174)

Compared to this one-in-a-million rarity, Time Gal is common as dirt. Power League is a baseball game released by Hudson for the PC Engine. According to the sign that Super Potato affixed to this game, the childrens' comic magazine Coro Coro Comic ran a drawing and gave out just 100 copies of All-Star Power League, which presumably has been altered to feature a lineup of the hottest Japanese baseball players of the late '80s.

With only 100 in existence and only one up for sale, this tiny lump of silicon and plastic is the most expensive game in all of Tokyo. The slip of paper inside the case is the original documentation, which has likely bumped up the price of this copy considerably.

So you managed to figure out why it's so pricey.  Fravo!

Your next task is to learn the definition of 'gouging'.

I found just by chatting with others offering input,insults,ideas & etc, your count will rise and before you know it your count will be fine. No need to force it, as people will see what you post anyway and if its all +1 crap you wont get included in raffles anyway.

It was only a matter of time before this happened.

Even worse is the one site that sold Revival Chase (not the guys that actually made it) selling them separately for $49.75 each with no mention of them being booties.  Those guys can go fuck themselves.

I thought they were selling those boots before the PCE Works set came out. That's at least how I remember it. I could be wrong.

But I still agree it's shitty for them to not mention it's a boot anywhere on the site.
