Ah yeah, I guess that isn't really "gouging"--but this seems like the de facto thread for discussing high prices.  Obviously you have no problem with the Dynastic Hero he sold you for $150 ;)
You noticed that too? I was very upset when I saw that... hope somebody deserving got it at least ](*,)

All my games have massive vent holes.  It's funny how much they breathe when you remove the cellophane completely.  :)

Quote from: wolfman on 02/27/2014, 01:31 PMThis one sells the same lot 3 times. Just moved the boxes around so that it would look different on first view:

That same seller has been selling shitloads of sealed games over the last year.  If i recall correctly, he keeps making new usernames (his feedback on the last account or 2 started to slip), so he makes a new one and starts over.  Wish I could recall his old usernames. Also, they are the same games but one auction lists Blazing Lazers as opened and NOT sealed.
All is well. :)

So is he selling those 9 games, getting the money, then not sending it out?  They're not super rare, but 9 sealed games for $11 each doesn't seem a terribly bad deal to me...
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

Can somebody check this auction and tell me what you see for a shipping price?
When I look, it says $11.90.  I PM'd the seller and asked him if that was to ship it overnight because 12 for a huey is crazy.
He responded and said it's set at $6 and he doesn't know why I see $11.90.

I see the shipping price is $10.50 for expedited shipping.

ok, he must have it on some kind of "calculated shipping" based on zip code and not realize it.

He is mistaken - the only way to get $6.50 is if you have a St Louis zip code.  The price varies by zip code, for Canada it is $20 plus $12 in brokerage...

Right, so when he looks at it, Ebay recognizes his zip code as St Louis (duh!) and displays $6.50.
what a dolt.  But I want a loose 1943, and it doesn't come up often from a USA seller.  But I'm not willing to go $37 even if I win the $25 bid.

(cue BlackTiger with a long list of dirt cheap USA sold listings...  :D)

Wolfie, i'm not complaining but I have seen that quite a few times from your posts.  Are you posting from a mobile device?  This...

* Nulltard points around from within the quoted text

This happens to me, too, from time to time when I post from my phone. I think smartphones are dumb when it comes to cursor placement.

Anyway, that concludes the contribution of my $0.02

yes, it was from my cell phone. however the other times when I posted it didn´t happen. it shows up on my browser...the window is so small that i sometimes don´t see, where my cursor is...

I don't know what's wrong with that seller, but Salamander doesn't even have any kind of wacky range in selling prices. It sells consistently and often on eBay for $20 - $20 complete.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=pc+engine+salamander&_sop=15


Must be one of those "collectards" who glanced at asking prices of results that included various versions of salamander and just based it around one of the higher ones.

OK, either I am going crazy, or I really did see a complete copy of Magical Chase on Ebay for $9,999 yesterday night.  Meant to post it here today, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Lochlan

That's because it sold (I think).  I also had the French instructions insert and it was in super nice condition.  Still not worth ten grand but there you have it.

It didn't sell. It mysteriously ended like the other listing did a few months back. I'm sure a side deal was met.

It sold.
I offered a zillion and he accepted.

Hey... that is one of our guys here isn't it?  Why gouge it?
Yeah, its him.  Appears he's sold more than one at that price.  Sad that one of us would do that.....  :(  I dont know whether I should be happy people want to pay that much for a Homebrew, or sad that one of our own would stoop so low to gouge it like that.  Not as high as the other one, but still....  I dunno..  Maybe I shouldnt have an opinion on this.  MAYBE, we do need another pressing.  I dunno.
