Title: Looking for Beyond Shadowgate.
Post by: T2KFreeker on August 03, 2006, 08:44:11 PM
Okay, I just wanted to post that I am looking for this game, but am really not looking to overpay for it for $100.00. Let me know all!

I wish you gl and hope you find it for a good price, the ones on ebay always go min $100 up to like $200 -- stupid crazy turbo collectors with money. (I wish I could be one.  ;(  :p

No shit. The thing is that they try and make it look like it is the most rare game on the system, when in actuallity, it really isn't as rare as it looks. There are planty of games on the Turbo CD and Duo that have a much lower print run, and some of them are really good games as well.

Yah I got my Drac X for a decent price ($100) or so a while ago and I'd say on average a Drac X w/o spine on ebay goes for ~$125 or so.  Well look at this shit I saw happen on ebay the other day:

It's always that collette bowles guy too, him and simonlogan or w/e his name is.  They've been going around jacking up all the prices, starting to really piss me off.  They just push the little guys without as much money around, who I'm sure are just as dedicated collectors you know.  I mean they jacked up the price of the last 2 copies of godzilla (US version) that showed up on ebay so much it was just dumb, decided to just grab a $100 BIN because of it out of frustration.  And ofc while it's worth that much to me (wanted it since I first learned it existed around age 10), I always like to find good deals you know.  I mean I've never added it up but my tg16/pce collection has to be worth at least $1k more than I bought all the stuff for (at least if i resold it on ebay).  /meh

OMFG dude, another drac x came on ebay and instantly that colletebowles sob is bidding on it again.  Shit.  How many does he f*cking need!? If he wants a bidding war, I'm going to give it to that bitch, not that I'm going to go so high I'd win it but gd I'm going to make him pay for it even more this time.  Stupid f*cker, I'm so sick of it.  :evil:

Too bad ebay didn't have a better way of tracking people who use multiple accounts to bid their items up.  I'd love to see some of these a$$holes get it in the ass when they're caught bidding their own stuff up.

That 2nd Drac X is already up to $233 and it has over 2 and a half days left..... I'm really glad I found all my really rare games before these jackasses showed up, really making ebay prices spiral out of control.  So dumb...

Yeah, that is why I am trying, very unsuccessfully, to find the game here! :cry:
