That twat has no intention of selling a damn thing on ebay. It's either lame bragging (look at my rarez!) or a lure for off ebay sales (possibly scams).

Look at his feedback: it's all as a buyer with not a single one from selling.

Yep. I believe this idiot has been outed many times.

It's back up to $20k again. Can't imagine being so pathetic that bragging on eBay seems reasonable.

seieienbu · 08/18/2017, 06:04 PM

I love that he put that misleading picture back in. ...not that it's worth $20k even if it was all of those games.

This is the first time this has ever happen since I have been selling them back around 2006.
Just surprised and disappointed, I guess it was bound to happen.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened more frequently honestly.

I wanna punch a moose in the face every time I see an Atlantean/Mysterious Song sold on eBay for a ridiculous markup

Some people like the benefit of being able to fully inspect the condition of something instead of an online listing. Some people have a budget to buy stuff like this in person for a con outing.

Personally, I never got the draw. Every time I go to an anime convention I see all sorts of overpriced stuff and I groan watching the people spend $20 on something than costs like $5 or less if you know where to look. If I see something I like at a con, I normally take a picture and research/buy it later when I get home.

I do the same. I'm actually more inclined to purchase something off of ebay if I'm in a location where I see whatever for a much larger price than the going rate. I may be doing this out of spite for people trying to profiteer off the hobby in a super lazy way; it's hard to be sure. In this particular case, I think these prices are completely ridiculous and deserve to be scoffed at.

He should at least be competitive with eBay BIN listings, as he's way over a lot of them..

Clicked the thread to see the responses then caught a glipse of the loose Deep Blue for $40. I missed that last time. That's the most outrageous thing in there imo.

I love that you mentioned that, because I uttered that price outloud to Johnpv and shook my head: "Only $40 for a loose Deep Blue."

Insanity.

For a loose Deep Blue that's insane. Must have just priced quickly after he saw a listing on eBay for $40?

The Hero Tonma isn't even close to being realistic either. Our boi JBeebs has his CIB on eBay now for 1.4KUSD, and it looks to be in similar condition. Pricing an item $1,100 higher to a similar eBay BIN is just ridiculous. Especially considering the eBay/Paypal fees JB would have to pay IF it even sold for his asking price.

Like where did he even come up with $2,500 lol, I would genuinely like to know. Has one ever sold for that in the sad price history of Hero Tonma CIB? I can ever so slightly understand pricing Deep blue @40 just because of other idoits, but this genuinely has me at a loss. Where did he get $2,500USD from? Why not $5,400? Or how about $14,500? There's parameters here to work with, but the sellers greed is blinding.

CrackTiger · 09/12/2017, 07:12 PM

Guys like that are making the "fair market" prices slowly inflate by creating an artificial short supply by sitting on all of the games they're hording.

And eventually, possibly, the "fair market" price reaches the seller's asking price at which point the market decided that $2500 for Tonma was a real thing! Thanks, resellers.

I certainly can't see purposefully paying more at a con. Definitely agree, why support it.

xcrement5x · 09/15/2017, 04:59 PM

I also wonder if con sellers price stuff higher because they know people are more likely to haggle too.

That may well be the case but I can't imagine $2500 Legend of Tonma being haggled down to sub-ebay levels under any circumstance.

Napoli · 09/15/2017, 08:30 PM

You would think with them saving on PayPal and eBay fees the dealers would price their games a little lower.

Gypsy · 09/16/2017, 09:30 AM

They see people that already paid to get into the con as having rape my wallet signs on.

hmmmmmmm ..... Some of the higher prices are to deter those that at both cons and in-store would come in and wipe them out to flip them. Some items are not meant to be sold but are there more as LOOK we have rare games. etc. Some are just because eventually, someone may buy it, to show off to everyone at the Con. I remember similar practices by the vendors for football and baseball cards before the crash.

Hey wait a minute, I live in Kentucky..................but I do live in the CITY!! Not in the hills or country. So that might make a difference. Right?

I wonder if this guy has the plastic wrap to go with that. It would make it more authentic.

I wish I felt this was extreme, but this is the third one I've seen in the last 48 hours going for 600 shipped with the case in decent condition. and I'm not sure it's that far out there considering . . .

I mean a fair price seems to be 400 - 500 normally.

in99flames · 09/22/2017, 01:04 AM

I have to agree....sadly its not too far out of whack. The suitcase and turbo with dock and cd unit(presumably working) can go for 300+. Add in a turbo tap, more controllers, an oem power cord...manuals....yea between 400 and 500 isnt that unreasonable unfortunately. I have that setup. I have a US system card 3.0 CIC as well. I cant believe how much the US version of that sells for. Its just too pricey.
