/vr/ - Retro Games

Why do people do this?

>>1313309
They don't understand how much should be shaved off when it is damaged like that.

saw this last night

Copies of this game normally sell for less than $100.

Craigslist is so silly

>>1313639
>game
You're a funny guy.

>>1313667
What's wrong with that?
There are some pretty damn good games in there and it averages out to just over $6 a game.
Sure, one of us probably won't buy them but to a (dare I say it) reseller, there's probably a profit in there somewhere...

>>1313691
Most of it is shovelware. The actual games are about 250 bucks.

>>1313689
how is this retarded?

>>1313715
80 dollar game can potentially be bought for like 5 bucks.
i know it won't, but it could depending on certain factors

>>1313738
>150$ game
fixed that for you

>>1313309

Mandatory post

>>1313761

>People like this exist

Proof that there is no god.

>>1313761

I don't know which is more sad. This guy or the fact he thinks anyone is going to believe someone paid 750 bucks for it.

>>1313768
>>1313761

>tfw I know it's probably bullshit, but it still nags at me in the back of my mind that maybe he really did sell it for that much

>>1313781

Yeah that's what irks me. There are people out there willing to overpay for that shit

This is only the last 20 ads he has produced. This guy has an individual ad up for EVERY GAME SYSTEM TO EVER EXIST. It's to supposedly help him do Let's Plays on Youtube. And it's always asking for free. I've sent joke emails to this guy asking for like a dollar a game on good and bad titles and he doesn't respond. If it's not free, he will not take them. He has been posting ads like this for about two months now and it's clogging up the site with retarded ads.

It is truly the worst thing I've ever seen. Worse than a reseller.

>>1313919
Send him a pair of free crutches, advising him that he may need them soon.

>>1313697
>Most of it is shovelware
It's not and you're seriously underestimating the value of PSX games. The guy who listed it has it priced a bit on the high side which is why it hasn't sold to a reseller yet but it's not an ourtrageous asking price if there was a person out there who wanted to get a large PSX collection all at once. I'm sure he would take $5-600 if a person didn't seem like a scumbag reseller.

I'm in Columbus too so I've seen that ad before. THIS guy is a scumbag...

>>1313639
I remember when this was first posted
still just as entertaining

>>1313919
Who is this guy? What is his username on youtube?

>>1313309
>I only want half of what it's going for on Amazon! This is a great deal!

>>1313964
Holy shit, do people actually fall for this?

>>1313964
>I will donate them to church groups
It's like the scum's not even trying

Never knew my area was like this.

The worst kind of reseller spammers are the ones who list the prices they'll pay for games, like do they really think people will respond to this stuff?

>>1314032
He forgot to put "btw I'll mark this shit up 400% then sell it."

I can't tell if this guy is smart or hopes nobody else is.

I don't know about Tetris and have no interest, but if someone wants this, I don't know if this is a good deal. Vegas, btw.

>>1314048
>"MUST BE COMPLETE WITH BOX AND MAN"
So the game is considered "complete" if a man comes with it?

I have more, but this is the best/worst i ever saw. You know, the thumbnail jumped right into my face. I couldn't resist to see what crazy stuff the seller wrote, and his other auctions actually looked fine.
The sentence i didn't translated fully was just a "happy holidays" unnecessary long.

>>1314109
A-at least it was only 1 euro?

>>1313309
Is that amazon price new in box, or is he just bulshitting?

>>1314142
Yeah, the lowest reseller buy-it-now prices for a good condition cartridge are between 16-18€ with a few euros shipping cost. But still the weirdest auction i saw, the other ones i have are clearly damaged or very dirty carts described as "good condition" or auctions made by complete retards.

>>1314109

>Zustand: Akzeptabel

Aber sicher doch

what a deal

>>1314635
'serious inquiries' is always the cherry on top.

>>1313761
>Stop jerking off to the pink power ranger

Man I wish there was enough lewd pictures of the pink power ranger out there for me to jerk off to her.

>>1314660
The pink ranger is always the go-to jerk off insult. It's pretty interesting.

>>1313639
>Hurr I have an old game so I'm going to sell it for DA EPIC CASH!!!

I really hate faggots like this.

>>1313738
If it sells for $5, then it's a $5 game, not an $80 game.

>>1314032
He doesn't seem like a reseller. That's a very specific list of games that doesn't include some very popular resell items.

>>1314141
There's one seller on Amazon selling it NIB for $750. There's also one for $400.

This is what the scratched screen/no battery cover units are going for.

>>1313667

To be fair Megaman Legends 2 on its own is rather expensive.

>>1313981

No idea, it is never posted.

This makes me sad.

>>1313689
Free sleeve, bro

>>1314762
People are selling it for that much NIB? That's fucking insane

>>1313309
Someone here must of messaged him, he changed it to $100. Still overpriced, lol, but some people re just like that.

>>1314635

>>1314842

And this one has me baffled.

>>1314842

I'm no Mega Man fan, but I'm fairly positive that's not the box art I've seen for this game.

>>1314971
>>1314842
X3 is rare, but this...

>>1314971
People on ebay do stuff like that all the time because they hope someone just sees the title of what they want and instantly buy it without reading the rest. Shit there was even a Judge Judy episode where some guy sold a picture of a cell phone for like five hundred dollars.

>>1314974

That's X3's boxart/coverart in the US though.

Might be the glare.

I had this one where it was an image of an auction for the game where the label was ripped off and somebody crudely wrote "Megaman X3" where the label was, selling it for like $80, but I can't find the image anymore.

>>1314983

Nevermind, found it.

>>1312684
>retarded auctions / craigslist thread

>>1313761
>cling-ons
I refuse to believe this guy isn't bullshitting.

thought I could have some fun doing a backlight mod on a gameboy with a broken screen... guess not

>>1313689
Anon, the idea is to use the image to prove other people are retarded.

>>1314980
I saw that episode here fairly recently.

Judge Judy fined her $5,000 since she was obviously scamming the plaintiff.

I love that Judge Judy isn't retarded, in a justice system that clearly is.

>>1315736
>CLASSIC ARCADE MACHINE
>LCD monitor

>>1315728
on judge judy the fines are all "fake" in that the tv show pays them off

Not Craigslist, but my local shop has the stupidest prices I've ever seen. They have a
"rare" games case in which there are some rare games in, but its mostly just popular games like majoras mask and OoT are 59 dollars for just the cart. The most expencive one I remember seeing is Demon's Crest which is rare iirc, but not worth the 129.99 price tag. Needless to say that shit has sat there in the case for as long as I've went there about a year or so. Next time I go I'll try to remember to take some pics to show you guys how stupid this shit is.

>>1313639
at least free shipping

>>1313768
>>1313781
>>1315132

I was the only whop origionally took that screencap.

I can confirm he was trying to sell that on CL for a few weeks before eventually making this ad.

Dont forget the kind of people who live on Long Island. It's a VERY rich part of New York.

>>1316728
Is it becoming a trend now to price Mario/Duck Hunt in the double digits??

Germanfag here.
I got some brandnew OC.
I don't know what the dumbass was thinking when he claimed that newer TVs don't have Scart sockets. (my parents have a samsung from 2011, has RGB-in with an Scart adapter)
Also i don't know WHY he is calling an US SNES a SFC.

>>1317032

What the hell?

I know these are all newer games but this is what I dealt with today...

>>1314635
I don't get it. What's retarded about this one? Other than the spelling.

Have at it. Ill drive and pick it up if you need it.

Meanwhile, in bizarro craigslist...

>>1314060
thats actually pretty cool

if tis for IBM i might take it

Last night I walked into a consignment shop with my friend.

"Do you have any old video game systems?"
"No"
I look up and see a box with a disgusting PS1 in it. I can see it's filth from miles.
$20
Ask her about
"Oh, that's a Sony. The cords aren't included.
And I walk slowly out the door.

speaking of buying old games has anyone used facebook groups to buy stuff? Are they deece? I got some ads on my craigslist for some but dunno if itd be worth it.

>>1314750
>Harvest Moon 64
>Ogre Battle 64
>Bomberman 64: The Second Attack
>Conker's BFD

Those are still worth plenty and are quite often sought by resellers.

>>1314829
Tell him that you will send him some shit if he tells you his YouTube channel so you can watch your items being reviewed.

>>1314109
You could always get a shitty sports game and use that as a replacement cart.

>>1314985
Why do people always circle acceptable, like it's some sort of insult? It's the lowest rating you can put on ebay.

>>1315748
> I remember seeing is Demon's Crest which is rare iirc

Really?, i got Demon's Crest in a flea market for 5 bucks, and the game looks almost new

i guess i was lucky

>>1317820
Depending on how long ago that was, you were probably just really lucky.

>>1317839

3 or 4 years ago, i didn't know it was a rare game

>>1317032
>BORTAL BOMBAT

>>1317032
>Bortal Bombat II

Giggling like a schoolgirl.

>>1317859
Its always been rare, but at that time it was generally a $15-20 game.

As soon as the whole story about it generating negative sales for capcom started becoming more widespread, it shot up to $80.

>>1313964
>It's not and you're seriously underestimating the value of PSX games.
Nah, I wouldn't go that far. There aren't a lot of PSX games worth above $20.

>>1314635
I wonder if the type of reseller who write like this are brain damaged. Why else would you write like this?

>>1317869

I've read something about it after i bought the game

apparently, more people were returning the game than buying it, how is that even possible?

>>1317949
Muh christian values.

Parents were returning the game more than they were buying it at that point in time.

Can't tell if retarded or not. I mean it looks like it's in mint condition but €200 / $270?

>>1317859
mfw I bought Demons crest for 75 dollars on amazon no less then 4 months ago

>>1313738
>80 dollar game

fuck you, it spent almost 3 years in clearance racks for $15 a pop and nobody wanted it.

Don't get ripped off! And don't buy these from me: Buy them direct from Best Electronics for only $17 plus shipping. BE AWARE: the guy who's selling these for close to $40 elsewhere on eBay is buying them from Best Electronics (google them) for $17 a piece, calling them "extremely rare", suggesting they're in short supply, and then marking them up over 100% to sell here on eBay.

>So don't get ripped off like I did! Buy them from me (if you must) with the convenience of eBay or - better yet - buy them direct from Bradley over at Best Electronics for only $17 plus shipping*.

Fucking suggesting that the buyers DON'T buy from him for their own good. This is just heartwarming.

To get a little off topic, is columbus just a fucking mecca for retrofags? If so, who out of you lot will I be seeing at CORGS?

I am fucking RAGING at some of these.

Whew... calm down Anon...
Dang it, I wanted to relax and go to bed nice and peacefully.

thanks to this thread i now know i made a great investment in demons crest. got it for 25$ at a local shop that seems to want to make money but cant be bothered to look up prices. though i did get an earthbound cart there for 90$ and they apparently sold their ninja gaiden trilogy for 115$

>>1318858
in addition i got a copy of sunset riders for 30$

>>1318862
and persona 1 for 40$, though it does have a crack on the front cover

>>1318867
but the greatest thing i have found there is this.
boxed never been turned on all documentation, but the outer box had a tear on it, check that price tag. i can only assume someone had a big cunt of an ex-girlfriend or lived in a bad neighborhood,

>>1319030
But that's not a bot, you idiot. That's somebody auto bidding because their limit was higher than the current bidder.

If I put down 1000 dollars right off the bat, ebay will bid for me up to 1000. Other people's bids won't even be accepted, because mine will always be higher

>>1319042
And by the looks of it, it was just one person trying to see just how much that one user's bid limit was. With those small increments, that is.

>>1317087
>25 games
there's only 24 pictured

>>1313738
I know this isn't 'retro' retro but I grabbed a copy of dark spire for 5 dollars (complete, typically a 70 dollar game last time I checked). Just picked up Infinite Space for 30 (60 dollar game complete).

Just got to hit the right place at the right time.

Hell, I started my collection getting just about every NES/SNES classic for 100 USD. Castlevania 1-3, dragon warrior 1-4, just about every SNES RPG that matters, both systems, etc (a good 80 games or so).

>>1318867
That's a rip off. We sell it in store for 30, complete.

It's a horrible game. But it doesn't stop me from having two copies.

>>1318646
He is the protector of vidya eBay deserves...
He is a watchful guardian...

these kind of threads make me wonder, and ask all of you, do you think the price bubble for retro games will ever burst? If so, how long do you think it'll take?

We'd buy that in as defective where I work. Considering you can get nice, not scratched to hell screen original gameboys for ten bucks around here...

I remember when one of these sold for $100. That's right, there's a human being on this planet that paid $100 for a piece of white cardboard.

>>1326487
The original Gameboy is worthless. It's defective by design. Even in the early 90s you couldn't find a used one without bad pixels. I threw the two that I've owned right in the trash.

>>1326745
must have been himself or someone just filthy rich

I'm surprised he doesn't want to buy Starcraft 64 for $10 as well.

>>1326745
Get on rarityguide.com and compare Earthbound's loose price vs. the complete in box price

>I know you want $3,000 for that nice pristine muscle car

>I'll give you $500
I know he's a reseller but seriously, fond memories of a game that you bought back in 1998 for $3 off of a friend doesn't mean that over 15 years later, you're entitled to buy it around the same price. Do people not know about this shit called inflation, supply and demand and just fuck man?

>>1327054
rarityguide is shit for prices. Price Charting is way better, but even then people bitch that eBay is the only way to gauge a price. Even though PC has a tab to show completed auctions for loose, complete and new prices.

>>1317071
>>1317861
>>1317867
I would guess its because MK series is forbidden in Germany

>>1328581
Alas, you would just be poking a great bear
There's no reasoning with these people

>>1312684
Reminds me of my gameboy I gave away, the plastic screen cover fell off as well.

>>1313309
I gave this guy a piece of my mind and attached a snippet of the amazon page clearly showing what that shit is worth.

He dropped his price to 100 but shit that's still too much.

>>1328857
This is true. They never change their views on what is worth what, because right or wrong it would make them look stupid.

But I e-mail them anyways because this shit pisses me off. And usually, since I know I can't change their minds on price, I tell them I'm interested. I go to google maps, get a good layout of their province and request to "meet up" with them to check out the item.

80% of the time they show up, too bad I'm never there.

>>1328581
I've thought about doing a Youtube channel where I call them and ask how they came to that price. I could see some of them getting pissed.

>but there's other sites where it goes for a lot less, besides you wouldn't shop at Target only, you'd shop for a better deal

I put some stuff on Craigslist and got an email from someone who was trying to bullshit me. Said I shouldn't use eBay to price stuff, which I didn't anyway. Then tried to nitpick things that I already had in the listing.

I've been searching craigslist for a good Sony CRT/PVM for my Super Nintendo. I came across this (sorry if a little off topic):

Ad said "I paid $4500 for this in TV in 2005. I am only asking $2500 for it"

$2500 for his 9 year old, used HD TV... that you can buy a similar model right now NEW at BestBuy for about a $1000....

>>1328930
Does it haves Monitor out?
Haven't see a tv with that feature since 2006.
I hear is prohibited by the US gob. so you don't pirate a thing.
I frankly doubt you find a tv with that feature in 2014 at bestbuy

Kinda sounds like a version of the /vr/ reseller olympics

>>1314032

I like how /vr/ always complains about how things are too expensive and how people shouldn't be paying 200 dollars for a game and when you see a person trying to buy games for a "fair" price, they get labeled reseller scum.

Watching how irrational /vr/ gets over their video games is hilarious.

Here's another sample of resellers spamming

Kinda ironic the things this guy says in the ad...

>>1329712

>even buys the original black consoles nobody wants

I don't get this part. Why would nobody want the original N64s? Do they have some technical defect?

>>1329709
There's nothing wrong with someone buying games like CBFD, etc. for cheap as long as said games aren't being bought for the sole purpose of immediately being flipped and marked up on some shitty ebay store, which sadly is what happens to around 85% of those kinds of CL transactions.

Is a GBA SP AGS-101 worth it for ~40€?

Things to consider:
The AGS-101 is extremely rare in my country and relatively rare in the EU.
I could get an AGS-001 for half the price.
I could get a DS Lite for just a little more.
I am extremely poor at the moment.

just look at anything on ebay that's been vga rated.

>>1330010
I wonder why it's not 100

>>1314032

A ridiculous price, but it's understandable why it happened. Kinda. I don't know how many of those "not for resale" copies there are out there. Probably not enough to warrant that price, but eh.

>I don't know how many of those "not for resale" copies there are out there.
I don't have a specific figure, but here's a reasonable claim to make: you will never see one of those in person in your life. Knowing how promo copies are produced and distributed but not knowing the specifics about MM promos, I would guess anywhere from 500-1000 were made being very generous.
I can honestly see $1200~ as the going price for it given the current inflated state of the retro bubble. Otherwise, easily $300 I would say. Easily.

>>1330992
> why you posted this here
He posted it to annoy you. Did it work?
The extremely high sale price on a rare game is a direct reflection of the artificial inflation generated by the "retarded" eBay and Craigslist market. Relevant to the thread.

>>1317102
>gcube 90 bucks
>cant remember snes price but it was high too

>>1328982
Yea, I did because I was texting a pic of it to my friend who sells stuff on craigslist alot so we could have a laugh.
I apologize that I reused the same pic here rather than re-taking a screenshot. I didn't realize you need a hi-res image for your autistic masturbatory needs.

No?

>looking at Saturn stuff on amazon

Is this because of the Saturn's quick death outside of Japan or is the retro game market in the US just getting this fucking absurd?

>>1331115
A little of both.

Shit. Some real scamming potential here. How hard would it be to manufacture a passable Earthbound cart?

>>1314660
The Ranger or her actress?

Not everyone was a rich kid, get over it.

>>1330842
Its not really a record store. They sell other stuff. I consider it a record store, they do celebrate record store day every year.

>>1317087
I've always wanted to try that Tamagotchi Wii game.

Of course, I wouldn't buy that lot for it.

Fucking auto-bid, it can be frustrating

>>1330985
It's neat enough to warrant maybe $100.
The only thing that I would pay more for would be the entire booth that they had at Blockbuster that printed out Pokémon Snap stickers.

>>1331191
The Ranger with the actress in the suit.

>>1329914
I like the AGS-001 better because I can buy junk ones for really goddamn cheap and use the parts for mods.

>>1332725

>jealousy intensifies

didn't realise there was already a thread.

This guy is always trying to sell random gaming shit for a lot. He has an OG Xbox with 2 games, av/power cords, but no controller and the front buttons are missing for $30. He had/has a box of random shit that looks like it may be worth $20. Wants $75 for it and "well worth the price" His friend is making Assassin Creed bags for $100. I don't even fucking know anymore.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

>>1335302
just looked at this seller's other items, I want to vomit.

>>1335302
>Smash Brothers
So he's greedy, a liar, AND stupid.

>>1335302
Dat filename
Alas, greed will also be the downfall of the resellers and the retro bubble, I forsee it

I wrote for Gamesniped for a while before the site went on hiatus, you would not believe the shit I saw on a daily basis:

>all these VGA-graded games with their carts stripped bare, PCBs and EPROM chips left to bake in the UV light, tagged as "85+ GRADE WUBWUB A+ QUARITY PLS PAY $200"
>fucking 5th grade art projects designed to look like Mario or Sonic, "ONE OF A KIND FIGURE!!" acting like they've produced fine art and asking $100+ for it

And that's just /vr/ related stuff. You have no idea how many BORDERLANDS EPIC LOOT CHEST WUBWUB 420XD SUPER RARE, $200 listings I have to sift through

>be on facebook gaming group
>woman posts a picture of 10 game and watches she has had since childhood asking how much they are worth.
>at least 6 reseller scum private message her offering $50-$100 for the lot saying they aren't worth very much.

I posted links to completed ebay listings showing that the lot would be worth close to $1000.

I was banned from the page.

>>1335345

The point where is healthy for the market to encourage reselling (to inventivise preservation) has come to an end and it is now time to slaughter the resellers. The best way we can do this is by holding up all progress in the economy. So we can inform new people that they're sitting on a gold mine who have gold mines so that resellers have to pay a gold mine to get it and then won't be able to turn a profit because nobody's going to buy the gold mine + markup.

Slowly but surely all the resource book with the market and move on to ruin the other things because they don't want to work for an honest days dollar instead wanna live off the buying and selling of others. They all need to get a fucking job.

Not Craiglist but a similar site had an R4 going for about 275 euros, I really hope no one brought it.

>>1335345
I don't understand. Don't you people want cheaper prices? Why are you encouraging her to sell it for that much?

>>1335420
How much do you think those resellers would sell it all for?

>>1335420
i would prefer the woman to get market value for her cherished childhood items than some greedy reseller.

>>1335420
Only a person who actually wants to play them would buy, as the price makes markup impossible. The transaction would benefit the seller and buyer this way, bypassing the harmful middleman.

Is there anything more cancerous to collecting them eBay resellers? They give All real sellers (physical and online) bad info on prices and clog up searches.

>>1319030
Do you even know how to use ebay?

Not retro, but this guy's selling the complete .hack games (ps2) for $85
Deal or no?

>>1337278

Quarantine is worth about $90 complete, sooooo

>>1335183
That's a decent price for the Super Nintendo.

>>1337278
Absolutely. Even if you average them all together, you're paying $21 or so for each game, and you'll never find one of them cheaper for that by itself. And like another guy said, Quarantine is worth the price by itself.

>>1335324
I feel for you, fellow /vr/trooper
You've likely seen things that would scar a normal man for life

At this point, I'm not even sure if this is exorbitant ebay pricing or a deal

>>1319079
I know im replying to an old post but its not terrible! It's pretty fun imo

Something I'd found a while back.

>>1340183
Has to be either a troll ad, or a reseller asking to be lowballed

>>1339904
Considering how many busted units are making the rounds, probably not a deal.

>>1313667
>tfw this is in my city

This guy has been spamming craigslist everyday with this ad.

>>1340491
Spam him back with reqs for $5 only.

>>1340502
I'm honestly surprised they didn't throw in "ULTRA RARE GOLD CART."

>>1340449
Just tell the scum you can buy the exact same set on ebay for at most half that price

>Really nice offer
>Seedy as fuck neighborhood

Really interested, should I take it? It's 60 bucks for the lot and includes Virtua Cop and Warcraft II (which I didn't even know came on Sega Saturn)

>>1340580

Shit sorry forgot pic

>>1317980
if it sells for 80 dollars, than its an 80 dollar game. good luck finding a clearance bin that still has earthbounds inside.

>>1325992
its not a contest buddy, cause all you won was an afternoon by yourself with a tv screen and a false sense of prideover a fucking video game you didn't make.

>>1317980
Nobody wanted it then, which is why it's rare now.

Meanwhile everyone wanted Super Mario World, which is why it's common as muck now.

See how that works?

>>1326748
The original has the best sound to it -- warmer, more powerful bass. And it's really not hard to take care of one.

>>1340581

I'd take it, but have a few friends drive with you there.

this motherfucker has been trying to sell this DS case for over a year... opinions ?

>>1326748
Those lines are the easiest thing to fix.

You have no idea how many gameboys i have been given for free because people thought they were broken.

All i had to do for most of them was heat up the screen connector or adjust the contrast wheel (yes people are that dumb)

>>1340491
Call the number and, in an incredibly thick Greek accent, ask for the Nintendo Zelda, but if he talks about this offer, say you're talking about something else.

See how long you can keep him in circles.

As un-portable as it is, Lynx would like to have a word.

>>1340825
This might be fun, but it should be someone from that area, presumably the Providence or Rhode Island.

I don't think anyone who can spare more than 1700 bucks would be dumb enough to buy these.

>>1340983
Does the Lynx play nintendo games?

yeah, didnt think so.

So when the hell are N64 games going to go back down in price? I don't want to pay $30 for another copy of Mario Kart 64.

>>1341806
Like the SNES, N64 prices are likely at their peak right now.
After a while, they should eventually drop and regulate while the GCN stuff is slowly starting to rise in price

Ummm....this much...for a generic rf cable?...

What...the...fuck...

>>1346738
Where I live, a single Game & Watch would go for about that exact price. How much are you willing to pay for this lot?

>>1345001
sonic 3 cart isnt even plugged in, yeah that seems totally legit

>>1341065
Even better, it has Atari games and better graphical effects than even SNES was trying out.

But of course, since AVGN and other YouTube "journalists" ripped on it, it's now cool to hate it.

>>1339904
You can get one new in the box from warehouses at $225, and games can be pretty cheap on Ebay of all places.

I cant believe this shit.

You americunts dont even know how cheap you get.

here in finland everything retro related is almost double the price to these "high" prices you talking.

and i just wanted sum retro;__;

>>1346871
>Everything retro here is stupidly cheap.
I can go now and buy a gameboy and games for it for 20 or 30 bucks.

Sadly, in this day and age, it seems online stores such as eBay have gained a quasi-monopoly on retro game prices

>>1347046
Yeah, in my experience, small dogs tend to be Sega fans when it comes to retro games

Earthbound isn't rare. You can find it everywhere. There's just high demand for it now.

>>1314032

Haha good luck with that

Not a video game, but related to retro Pokemon.

Why?

It makes me upset that this is pretty much ebay prices so it's reasonable to ask this price although it's not reasonable to pay it

Do you think this will work?

>>1350203
Short answer: Most likely not

Long answer: Almost all EB sellers on eBay are dead-set on squeezing as much money out of buyers as they can. IF they do counter-offer you, they'll 99% likely offer a few bucks less than their BiN price it boggles my fucking mind, why even have the offer option, then!?!?

>>1350892
I was surprised, I offered 60% of what they were asking for a DC fishing rod and they told me 75% was the lowest they could go with free shipping. I woulda took it, but I found one cheaper elsewhere.

>>1323864
okay
a) that's money they were fully willing to spend anyway
b) that doesn't work until you outbid them, dummy, they end up paying the lowest of their auto-bids

unless you outbid them successfully, but then you run the risk of having to pay

you're very dumb

>>1314109
>Condition: acceptable

>>1350917
What a steal!

I've seen C64 selling for 150$. Just C64 with ac adapter and C2N.
Fun thing that it found a buyer because we almost had no C64 in ex-USSR, and people just don't know how cheated they were.

>>1348446
First Edition Base Set is rare, but not $9000 rare. $1000 would be a far more reason able price...

Just passing by to ask a question...
How much is supposed to be a Zelda: Link to the Past PAL version?

Because ebay is full of fucking retarded prices.

And what PAL versions are in english?
Is NOE english? Is ESP english? Or is it only UKV that is in english? This shit is fucking confusing.

>>1351139
Wait, weren't those extremely popular in Eastern Europe?

I've been e-mailing back and forth with this guy about his "right" to sell reproductions of games. He's a complete moron.

>>1355182
Why not just report him? Not just report him to eBay, but report him to Nintendo.

I personally wouldn't care about someone selling reproduction carts if they were advertised as such reasonably priced. Guys like this, however, are just asking to get ratted out.

>>1355214
If he were selling more than one cart it may be worth it. What really gets me are all of the reproduction boxes and manuals that sell for 20 dollars or more.

>>1355182
Is selling reproductions wrong? I've bought a couple from ebay.

>>1355250
>US $210.00
>not labeled as a reproduction

In this case? Very much so.

>>1355250
It's an unauthorized copy and hack of a real game, counterfeits, replicas and bootlegs are against Ebay policy, so yup!
I don't remember what Mato himself said about people selling his translation(s) for profit like the seller is doing, that might be an issue too.

shit man, then my N64 collection must be worth like 1000 dollars. IT HAS BOXES!

>>1337278
If it has everything including the dvds its a fucking steal. Quarantine alone is around 95 average.

Not retro, but just found this failure of a scalper

thats a fucking sweet ass deal, I coughed up $200 on buying all of them individually.

>>1335302
This guy put them in a dishwasher to clean them?

>>1353356
Not really. 1st edition packs go for 100-200.

3-6k would be more reasonable.

>>1329914
The 101 has a lower refresh rate than the 001, so keep that in mind if you play lots of sidescrollers.

EAST SI-IDE!

Man, the fucking phrase "Great for collectors" pisses me off, what a effing bad excuse for "Duh, this is worth 90$".
One time a guy tried to sell me Mario Bros 3 for 40$, he kept saying "Its a classic" like it means it worths a million.
