Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )

I like his manic shifts in mood and paranoid ideology towards others views regarding himself.

Classic Dave.

Well, off the top, it appears to be void of Turbo gouging...

That said, I have no idea why that game would get bid up so high...

But - look at the guy's feedback - he has been having a lot of issues in the last couple months.  Maybe one of those negatives is trying to fuck him over some how...

Thanks. Non turbo stuff is posted here often.

[NecroPhile]

Two bidders, one with 0 feedback and one with 8 that bid/rebid repeatedly.  Something fishy but to what end?

[NecroPhile]

Why is it always some UK asswipe selling those Turbob emulator discs?

[NightWolve]

Looks like he's in it for the lulz... Who is this humorous fellow I wonder ?

[ToyMachine78]

That was great. I had to contain my laughter here in my cube.

I don't think that game is as clean as the dynastic hero washed in the sink lol

[InfraMan]

That last sideways picture made me lol.

Also, bonus points for mentioning Mappy. I love that weird little game.

[clackattack]

Some pretty ridiculous price gouging over on Amazon also, especially on those TTI titles. You can however score some decent deals on some PCengine imports on there tho.

For you newbs, dealisdead on eBay is a forum member. You'll have to get to know the peeps to figure out which one.

It's galam and IDK why that's supposed to be privileged information.

And after the Xth fake eBay auction the joke wears a little thin IMO.

No more ludicrous or a joke than all the real BINs.   BTW your not a newb.

True, for us, but for a new person just getting into the system and the pricing drama around it, it isn't.

Some butt asking over $90 OBO for Sonic Spike. I think he had a few others as well.

[seieienbu]

Sonic Spike, huh?  How long until Kieth Courage goes for $100?

[bob]

Posting in this thread when there is a "make offer" is kind of a waste of keystrokes.
I find this thread at its best when crazy BINs are listed without the offer button. Too many dimwits are using high BINs with the offer KNOWING the BIN wont sell.
Its actually getting harder to find something worthy of sharing here because everybody wants $10,000 for vigilante.

Lol at the "collector cards". I have like a hundred of them. They were definitely made to cater to collectors.

[munchiaz]

My turbo ever drive can't come soon enough. These prices continue to get crazier and crazier

[NecroPhile]

Because the "make offer" button is never abused, where the seller won't accept anything more than 99% of their BIN price.   Riiiiiight.

meh... it's the spirit of it.  this thread is better with BINs that the dumbasses think would actually sell.
the make offer is too difficult to assume one way or the other what the seller will take.
besides, again, prices are so moronic now, hardly anything is worth posting in this thread now because there arent anymore surprises.  plcards finally won.   

[NecroPhile]

Heh, that's true.  It might be quicker to post deals that aren't ridiculous. 

But for BINs, even those without a "best offer" are often fishing for offers.  Too many asshats use eBay as a convenient place to host descriptions and pics, then they advertise on forums to elicit offers outside of eBay.

[seieienbu]

Every time I've made a "best offer" it's either ignored or counter offered for at most a dollar off.  The last game I made an offer on the counter offer was the BIN price.

I counter offered/annoyed my way into getting Dragon's curse CIC for $35 shipped. Thought it was better than $50+. :3

I usually throw offer after offer at sellers on the evil place just for my own amusement, sometimes they actually play along and I end up getting a decent price out of them. Yeh.

Counter.

I wanted to keep saying counter.

One more...

Counter.

hehe

[jelloslug]

I have gotten some good deals with best offer.  I would say that 80% of the time the seller is an idiot though.

The guy just doesn't know what he is doing. Everything he sells is priced super high! A computer fan was listed at $15.00 when you can buy those for a couple bucks each.

Even his auctions are a jumbled mess of begging for feedback and fake legal mumbo jumbo all formatted in notepad 10 years ago.

I agree. I have as well. Especially from hit Japan when buying multiple items

Victory Run with a crinkly manual for $88 + $100 shipping!

Galaga '90 and Sonic Spike also available for the same price, but do not expect to get combined shipping.

He also has a loose TurboGrafx-16 console for $530 + $100 shipping, if you need something to play the games on.



Literally every Turbo item and the shipping prices are all off by a decimal point.

[NecroPhile]

He must hate you Canadians, as shipping to the US is $4. 

[bob]

judging by his description, hes not moving much from the ask of $1500
I will admit, i have never seen the "revenge" pack-in.

Sparky should make a "bonk's revenge pack-in" sticker that we can all apply to our own boxes and flood e-bay with.  From the looks of it, that is, after all, the only difference between the box in that auction and any other box ever (with the exception of the giant cover-the-whole-box zonk stickered boxes).

Yup, that sticker was slapped on standard box and Bonk's Revenge added to stock TG-16.

I thought you would link to a news blurb or ad from TurboPlay about this! 

https://archives.tg-16.com/turbo_play_0012.htm#p32 (April/May 1992 TurboPlay)



It turns out that not only was this a move to compete with Nintendo and Sega, but an effort to clear some stock before TurboDUO launched in autumn of 1992.

Here's the next issue of TurboPlay (June/July 1992), with news of further slash in price ($69.99 stock TG-16)...

"Poorer condition than boasted. Didn't reply to inquiring emails. High shipping."
"65% exactly as described - Not new."
"Item was not as described,shipped in a empty 6 pack beer carton w/some duct tape"
"Needed better packaging for such an expensive item" (sold for 399.99 btw)

Yeah, thats exactly where I wanna buy those rare minties.
