someone called him out on it. They said you can get one for about 120 on ebay.

But I'm honestly surprised how someone could be retarded enough to ask for 500 for something that isn't exactly that rare to begin with.

Last time I participated in one of these threads I ended up finding a 3G PS Vita with a carry case, a 32GB card, and a copy of Rayman Origins for $150. The anons in that thread convinced me to buy it and it ended up being a great purchase. I'll see what I can find this time.

This is pretty interesting. It could probably be converted into a Star Wars cabinet pretty easily, but I think it was originally Road Rage, and it'd be kind of shitty to alter it. Seller is asking for $650 which unfortunately is too rich for my blood, and I'd have no-where to put it.

If each item was priced for retail it would probably be worth about $175, but the point of lots is they contain undervalued items because everything must go, and fast, and in that regard it's definitely not worth $175. I'd be interested in that SNES and that's about it.

Free market. If they're free to sell it for 500 then I am free to warn people that there are better deals elsewhere. Hence the price rightfully moves to its equillibrium point. All's fair in the market mate.

Lately I've been playing Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. I know it's a PSP game but I got it for like $3 during a sale. It's kind of annoying that they force you to play the 3D remake of Rondo of Blood to unlock the original version and Symphony of the Night instead of having them right from the start, but it's not bad.

My favorite game for the system right now is Muramasa. Once I beat it I'm going to pick up Dragon's Crown and eventually Odin Sphere. The PS4 version of Gravity Rush is way better than the Vita one, but the Vita one is still a very impressive game in its own right and I had lots of fun playing it.

op of the earthbound posts here
in the description he says that he put the board from gemfire into the earthbound cartridge and im assuming he did so because maybe the cartridge broke for gemfire and he thought earthbound was some cheap garbage game. from what i can tell from the pictures, the earthbound cartridge looks like the real deal and ive even emailed him asking if it was a repro or not but ive gotten no response yet

I just looked up gemfire on Jewbay and despite the fact that it was released on 3 different systems its still a $30-$50 game for some unknown reason. I hope they are just having a ruse at earthbound because if they actually didn't know the value of earthbound thats kind of sad but also funny.
