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

[CrackTiger]

That's not even the final price of the GSP scam. The higher the bid the higher they charge and even if you BIN, it often adds an additional pricey charge. I don't know how Revenue Canada hasn't charged eBay with fraud yet.

Shipping:
$17.35 International Priority Shipping to Canada  via the Global Shipping Program

Just throw a fucking stamp on it!

Canadian shipping on Ebay is just laughable. I save money by having my friends intercept parcels from the states, and just forward it to me lol. So it gets shipped twice and it's still somehow cheaper

Why would anyone reprint the US manual but JP back insert for a US game?  I guess he couldn't find a scan for the US back.

Not Turbob but this listing is ridiculous:
www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-5200-System-Console-Complete-in-Box-Tested-Working-MUST-READ-DESCRIPTION-/152470078706

Writing this description causes me GREAT pain because when I was testing the system (which was brand new), I dropped it, shattering the plastic that holds the controllers as well as the front plate (see pics). The system was PRISTINE, still having the brand new scratch protector film (the pink thingys) in tact on one controller and the console. Despite having broken those two pieces, which can be replaced from parts from another console, the system works great and is otherwise in near-mint condition. I still believe this is one of the nicest 5200's I've ever seen, and to anyone that has a spare system to replaces those busted pieces, it'll be a perfect addition to their collection.

Price tag, a mere $400 as of posting.

awesome ebay user name too.  so fitting.

[GoldenWheels]

Yep, you can find those two broken pieces (though one of either, if not both, is broken on virtually every other 5200 as well) after paying 400$ for the one butterfingers dropped, or you can just buy a decent one for far less in the first place.

Jesus.

Collectard drops console, wants to flip it so he can get another one in pristine condition.

Who lists a car without listing the mileage?

[mitsuman]

I want that! Not bad enough to drop $1,500. But maybe if it was around $100, and it worked. That Nissan Pulsar GTi-R Rally Car body is awesome!

That dude's feedback (both received and left for others) is shit!  He has left 7 negatives of 21 feedback left for others.. . I wouldn't buy from him and I wouldn't sell to him either...

[Alt-Nintega]

pathetic.

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172556122922

And another example of an idiot seller charging for shipping when the price of the game is ridiculously exaggerated.

I don't know what world you are you living in these days son, but 100 bucks for turbo games are normal prices. Stop complaining like a little girl.

*looks at post count*

*wonders when he got into turbo*

post count is determining factor how long someone has been playing NEC consoles?

Do yourself a favor, go fuck yourself.

[Alt-Nintega]

BTW most of us here are collectards to some degree, we love and play our games and we worry about condition and boxes. A lot.

This is what this idiot actually meant to say.

Seems like a copy of Super HuCard... which has a message on boot warning about overpriced "reproduction" discs.

I wasn't too familiar with this either BITD (I never used it and I didn't follow any discussions about it when it was being developed), but it was an example of an early "proof of concept" by one of our own tech gurus.

This project stopped because it was just a proof of concept and each ROM had to be manually configured (coding skills required).

Somebody will punch me for not remembering who implemented the idea (Bonknuts?), but it basically comes down to this:

A few CD-ROM games boot up HuCARD ROMs (Neo Nectaris can boot Nectaris, the 3-in-1/4-in-1 Gate of Thunder can boot Bonk 1 & 2 & Bomberman)...so, if you manually configure a HuCARD's ROM to run at specific memory addresses (and no unorthodox techniques/mappers are being used by the HuCARD ROM), you can get some games working.

The caveat is that this requires programming skills, each game must be manually configured to work, and not all HuCARD ROMs are viable candidates.

For example, I don't think SFII' (mappers) would work on this without extensive coding.

Response 1:
I'll take it down if you really think I'm being evil but not everyone has the ability to get these games from the internet and I've had several people thank me so much. Do you think I'm being evil? What about the people that can't do this for themselves and honestly thank me over and over? Will you consider their perspective? If you really think I'm being evil I'll take it down?

Response 2:
Hey, I wasn t trying to be an asshole or smartass, I really wanted your honest opinion. I ve got a great friend I met from on here and we are great friends, and my hand to GOD I asked him earlier if he wanted me to teach him how to do it and he said no I d rather pay you I know how hard that stuff can be and I always get frustrated and pull my hair out. And FYI I send all of my customers free games and DVD movies about video games totally out of the blue. I promise you it s not entirely money based. I really genuinely try to help people enjoy these games for fractions of the cost. Like Keio for Sega cd, it s over a 1000$ on eBay, so most people will never get to play that game. Believe it or not I genuinely care about other people but I ll give you my word, if you honestly think I m wrong after hearing my side of the story. I ll take it down right now. Will you answer as honestly as possible and give me your opinion after speaking to me?

Response 3:
You collect for the Duo? I m in a such a good mood today I ll send you a package. Seriously GOD did some amazing stuff last night for me. Send me your address and I ll mail you out a package today. I really am one good guys bro. Send me your name and address and if you collect for Duo, Sega cd, and Dreamcast, but you gotta hurry if you want me to ship today. Other than that it ll be Monday

I have not responded to him yet.

[HailingTheThings]

"...and my hand to GOD.."

"Seriously GOD did some amazing stuff last night for me."

The fact that he brings up God is a dead giveaway that he knows he's a piece of shit for doing this and is desperate for positive attention that says otherwise.

Tell him you spoke to God and he's definitely going to Hell.

Hah.

[Emerald Rocker]

The proper reply is one sentence:

"Yes, I genuinely think it is wrong."

If he's a man of his word, then he'll take down the listing

[seieienbu]

The proper reply is one sentence:

Follow that with "See Romans 13:1" if you want to argue his point about god.  If he wants to bring religion into why it's okay to pirate games, then you might as well quote some scripture at him.

[esteban]

These responses are amazing. Not one, not two...but three entertaining responses that just get better and better: "Believe it or not, I genuinely care about people..." so can I send you some free CDRs?
