Ha, thanks. I already have the Hucard. Thought it wouldn’t hurt to put up a WTB but apparently I’ve ruffled some feathers. I have a bounty of $1000 on a great condition manual if anyone has an extra they are looking to unload.

No idea, but the disk release of the new Bubsy game came with a business card and a post card.  You save $20 if you go with Bubsy.  What could possibly go wrong?

I guess the only positive to take away is at least he's saying it's repro. Although I doubt he would if it didn't have the disclaimer on the back.

Ehhh it's shitty all the way around.  Sparky's box was a for fun thing,  all he wanted was for people not to freaking sell it or use it as an accessory for clicks and to sell.  Regardlesss if you point out it's repo or not.  If you can't be human enough to not be a flipper/collector scum,  I don't have much respect for you.  It's not hard to be a decent person to other people.

Oh that guy, I sold him the MC box and a beyond shadow gate map and inlays to help him out back in the day. All went to eBay! Hope he feels good as he has been the only one.

If I have his full address still I should send him a little trophy that says "dick 2017" I have a bunch of little party trophies that would work perfect with some custom stickers. I could send a few to some here as well :P. Hey we could give them out yearly like our very own award show where we vote and crown a real winner. Ha

Ha, ok... Can't help but beg for them "dealz" I think I've asked for a total of like 5 things on here in the 6 years I've been apart of the forums.

I remember you from back when I tried to sell stuff for a friend  in 2014 and was told, "Go f*ck yourself." That's how a Mod should represent himself. I will honestly never get the elitism here. I'm not new to the scene and have been on NA since 2007 and on here since 2011. I don't think throwing out a $1000 offer on a manual is begging for a deal. I also don't need to belittle people on forums to make myself feel big because you know... real life?

There are some cool people here and I've had quite a few good experiences but for a Mod to just be outright aggressive for no reason is just petty. You guys do what you want but remember it's just a forum on the internet and there are probably more important things to direct your anger towards.

This place is toxic.

"For no reason."

Are you retarded?  I've been perfectly clear with the reason for my hostility: because you are a leech.  You have no interest in bettering the community or participating in any meaningful way beyond helping yourself, and we simply don't need people like you.

And $1k for a Magical Chase manual is lowballing compared to what it'd cost to pick one up off ebay (either alone or by buying a game/manual and flipping the loose game).  We both know this; don't act like you're looking to pay "market price".
Title: Re: WTB: Magical Chase Manual
Post by: sonikthehedgehog on November 13, 2017, 09:38:52 AM
Are you retarded?

Ha, seriously man. I'm not going to fight on a forum so this thread can go wherever from here. I just don't conduct myself in an aggressive way to random people. I may have when I was in my teens but now I'm in my early 30's with real life issues to deal with. I wouldn't say, "Go f*ck yourself" to some random and I wouldn't ask, "if they are retarded" because I'm an adult.

Call me a leech if you want... I really don't care. I don't have enough time in the day to throw my 2 cents in on every subject just to gain some credibility on a forum. I will bow out on PCENGINEFX and spend my time elsewhere and both of us (I hope) will be happier people. 

Turboswimbz you're cool.
Sparky you're cool.
All the modders and repair guys are awesome.
Black Tiger You're awesome.
Gex I have no problem with.
There are other people I know I'm missing that I have dealt with and you guys are great too.

Whoever else wants to call me names or whatever... the floor is yours... Necromancer you can ban me if that makes you feel better. Stay positive.

We aren’t saying “go f*ck yourself” to a “random” person, we’re saying it to you. We know enough about you to feel comfortable saying it. We don’t like people who only come here to shop.

We’re not saying it to feel better about ourselves, at least I’m not. I feel really great right now at the moment. If the only reason you know of for criticism is to attack people for the purposes of feeling good about yourself, that’s your f*cking problem. If you can’t take criticism of your acts without feeling like you’re in a “versus” situation, that’s also a shortcoming on your part. What’s actually happening here is that YOU have DONE SOME SHIT that has DISPLEASED some people. If your only response to that is to put your figures in your ears humming “haters haters haters” while explaining that you don’t have time for this because you are in your 30s now you might be somewhat socially stunted because that has nothing to do with anything. If you want to impress with your age/maturity, please don’t do it in a thread that explains you want to pay $1000 for some 30 year old paper. That kinda shit proves with an irresponsible baby you are. A baby with $1000 is still a baby.

People will be judged for their deeds. The internet is not an imaginary place, it’s real. We’re real, you’re kinda real, the games you’ve leached are real, right? When you flip something the money is real, right? When hackers used the internet to steal your SS# and max out a bunch of credit cards, is that real? When a virus travels through the internet and locks your computer down until you pay a ransom, is that real? When Twitter gets a guy elected president, is that real?

Well, criticism of you is also real and your response to it shows what a clueless person you are. I’d like to blame Nintendo Age but really that place is just a drain pan for the sort of people who were already made perfectly for it by previous things that shaped their personality, like family members who were totally amoral vessels like used car salesman or bankers or ad men, trust fund kids, or anyone else who has to turn off their morality to live in what they believe is “the real world”. Being trapped in a pit and being fed only Fun Dip and Egg Nog would do it to you also, probably. There’s probabky a bunch of ways to make one of you.

One last word: we are not elitist, we are elite. Elitism isn’t a problem if you can back it up. Only hacks acting Elitist is a problem. Like people who think they can buy their way into understanding.

Then I tried to participate in some threads but was turned away by the negativity. Go check out my my posts from 2012-13 just a terrible  guy all around on these forums.

Also, love you calling me out in the other thread for only knowing dollar signs and buzz words and being a noob. Again, you just got me figured out.

I just don’t feel the need to rip into people on the internet (I know I’m in the minority) I see you’re in the Ypsilanti/Midland area. If you ever want to get a coffee and talk games or tell me to f*ck off just let me know I’m not that far away.

Christmas came early?? If the seller goes outside eBay and accepts a lower bid, maybe he'll accept something closer to your offer. I kind of like the rental stamp on it lol, kind of want it. But a starting bid of 2K just for the manual is ludicrous. Even if it is OBO

Couple of protips for ya, friend...

1. In general, anything regarding MC is gonna raise ire. Everyone knows that it's overpriced tosh.
2. Talking about how much money you have to throw at something is gonna raise more ire. People willing to throw a shitload of cash at something only encourages the current trend of bullshit price gouging. In essence, you are contributing to the problem. Laying it bare on the forum like this ain't gonna do ya no favors, and veteran forumites like Necromancer are gonna call ya out for it.

This place isn't toxic, it just has an extremely low tolerance for shitty price inflation, and anyone contributing to this greedy trend isn't going to be very welcomed here. People here care more about playing the games than about collecting them as trophies. If you just want to collect then fine, but you're not likely to find many accepting forumites here with that kind of mindset.

Just sayin'.

Now, now, there's no need to lie;  there wasn't any real negativity until you tried to sell a bunch of uncommon games for well above sold ebay averages.  Even in your opening "no no" trade post, nobody attacked you for the post or had anything negative to say other than you not responding to PMs, and that's hardly an unwarranted attack (or even much of an attack at all).

If you don't understand why anyone would mind you spending years buying stuff off the forum for presumably less than ebay prices and then trying to get max dollar when you have something to sell yourself, we can't help you.  You've been blinded by your selfish greed.

Hey, I actually get what you are saying and I have no problem with how you put it.

I like to play games. I get together with friends and we either play something from my collection (even if it’s rare or expensive) or play pinball (which honestly has taken over in terms of what I enjoy playing at my house) Me and my best friend for the last 6 years have been going through every NES game I have alphabetically and playing them (Some Games for much longer than others.)

I have some everdrives but I prefer to play physical copies. I mean we’ve all had roms on our computers back in the day but just preferred to have physical copies. 

When I got into collecting heavily everything was cheap so I was never in it for the money and my collecting slowed as prices climbed. I have just accepted that as time has gone on so have the prices and there are a couple things I just want to finish up. So, the question is Do I wait and hope prices go down or because I have the means right now do I finish my set? I’ve chosen to finish my set. Who knows when/if prices will go down.

So, when you are looking for something that doesn’t pop up every day you kind of hit up every avenue you can. I can understand how this rubs people the wrong way.

Also, in regards to the for sale post from 3 or 4 years ago... As I said then I was doing it for a friend. This was a guy whose Father in Law was a hoarder (Mostly all video games) and had died. The mom was in a house that was in rough shape due to the hoarding. They needed money for the mother in law to fix up the house because obviously the Father in Law has spent most of their money on his hoarding (also, boarded tons of glassware) This guy was trying to sell all of these games for about 2k on Craigslist. I’m sure this will keep your torches lit but I offered to tell him the value of everything and help him sell it and not take advantage of him (so selfish) He had no idea what he had. I did not take a cut of any money he made. He did let me have some games (That I told him the value of at the time) for helping him out. I listed his stuff up on the forums and he collected payment and shipped. Everything from those original forum posts was sold. We made his Mother in Law the money she needed to fix up her house and get back on her feet and I felt pretty good about it. It honestly was just fun going through all the boxes as they kept cleaning out the house. I helped out someone and I made a friend.

It’s funny because he had a Magical Chase Manual that I told him to sell on EBay and a Dynastic Hero that I also told him to sell on EBay (The last 2 things I needed). I should’ve offered to buy them but I was at a different point in my life.

So, I guess light those torches up. I won’t continue to try to defend myself because it’s honestly not worth it and you can believe my story or not... Just thought it would make for a good read. I’m sure some people are mad that I told the guy the value of his games but would it have been better to just buy everything up from him and lie? I probably could of made 50k off the guy but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did that to someone. I also could’ve walked out of his garage with that manual and he would’ve never known the difference. I won’t speak for everyone but what would you guys do in that situation?

I will go and try to find the manual somewhere else and I’m cool with that. It’s honestly not something I just have to have.

It honestly was just fun going through all the boxes as they kept cleaning out the house. I helped out someone and I made a friend.

Every time someone gets shit after trying to take advantage of the forum, they come up with some sob story explaining why it's okay to gouge.  Whether it's true or not, your story isn't special and it doesn't excuse your actions.

I’m sure some people are mad that I told the guy the value of his games but would it have been better to just buy everything up from him and lie? I probably could of made 50k off the guy but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did that to someone. I also could’ve walked out of his garage with that manual and he would’ve never known the difference. I won’t speak for everyone but what would you guys do in that situation?

You don't know this forum at all if you think any of us would've lied about those game's values, bought 'em cheap to flip, or stolen anything.  Personally, I would've suggested he sell each separately on ebay with good pics, accurate descriptions, and 99 cent starting prices.

Ha, I really don't care who believes me on the story and at the time I didn't think I was gouging. As some people said some were high and some were low. I kept lowering prices as things didn't sell.

Wasn't trying to call out the forum. Was honestly asking what someone else might do in that situation. (A fun hypothetical) As far as the Ebay thing goes he was awful at listing things. I thought it would be easier for him if I listed them in the forums and it was. Seriously his Ebay listings were all lower case titles and no descriptions. He was a bit older than me and had didn't have an Ebay account when we met,

My hope is that all the guys here who have $10,000 collections manage to leave them all to the same scene and keep them off eBay forever. As has been mentioned, a lot of us bought these games at $50 or less new and could cash in big time at any minute but have held off. I’d like to hold off until the market collapses completely and everything is worthless like it was before.

Cash Ruins Everything Around Me. It certainly doesn’t help this forum. The more valuable the games get the more carpetbagger scum show up circling around us like basic cable vultures.

It would be a trivial thing to modify my will to including raffling off all my NEC shit to PCEFX forum goers with more than 5000 posts. Maybe we need a thread for that...granted, I sold most of my US stuff or traded it away back when the JP stuff was expensive so it’s a bit easier for me to give it up but...I’ll be f*cking DEAD, and I’m not planning on making that transition for decades...

I am with ya zeta, I do hope the market collapses and watch the cold sweats start on the big spenders and gougers. I might not play my stuff as often as I would like but I appreciate what I have and see value in the fond kid memories of always wanting this system, seeing ads in flyers and cutting them out like playboy centerfolds :P and now owning pretty much all I ever wanted in the TG16 wet dream aisle. When I die I will leave it all to my kids and I want you all to come to cover my coffin in sparky labels and send me off proper :).

I was kind of hoping that the influx of repros would drive values down but it didn't seem to help at all.

Christmas came early?? If the seller goes outside eBay and accepts a lower bid, maybe he'll accept something closer to your offer. I kind of like the rental stamp on it lol, kind of want it. But a starting bid of 2K just for the manual is ludicrous. Even if it is OBO

I saw that same manual a year ago for $800 at a retro game show.  Some time later, I saw a guy make his "haul" post on a facebook group including that manual and a bunch of other stuff.  This manual is kinda fun because you can track it to some degree.

OP has nothing at all to be ashamed of. The market is the market. I'm not telling anyone anything they don't already know by saying the supply is low for these late run games and there are people out there that want them.....which means the price goes up to these ridiculous amounts. Mind you no way in hell i'd ever pay these amounts but low supply + demand = $$$$. Why should games be any different?

Do coin collectors get this much flack for not spending their mint rare 1943 pennies at face value?

If a collector walked into a pawn shop and asked for a double eagle out of the blue, for 10-20% off market value, they would get a ton of shit.  Over the years this has happened here repeatedly to people who don't care much other than to make money or earn shelf candy.  You've been here long enough to see one or two I'm sure. 

I'm not saying the OP did anything wrong per say,  but when you are looking for the rarest of items, know there is only a small chance anyone has one, and aren't an active member other than to buy/see/trade, people here are going to say something about it.  probably a bit unfair at times, but justified most of the time.

No one is saying that supply and demand aren't affecting the price or that the price is wrong, just that most of us, like you, won't pay it.  (Although I would argue there are more MC than some other late games out there and that the supply is somewhat exaggerated by E-bay and the internet culture of youtube/twitch/amazon/ etc.)

You must have reading comprehension problems.

Nobody really gives a f*ck about OP paying "market value" for the manual; the ire comes from him trying to buy for LESS than current "market value" but when he has something to sell he wants MORE.  It has been (and always will be) about him being a greedy leech that only cares about himself and giving zero f*cks for the community.

I'm surprised Sonik hasn't made a deal with the guy who has his manual posted on eBay. They're both NA users and seem pretty likeminded. Surely by now the seller has come to the conclusion that his BIN price isn't realistic. It's been almost 2 months now I think? Or maybe he's waiting for tax season or something. I've had NA sellers in the past tell me they'll wait until this time of year to sell.
