Post by: oldskool on February 28, 2010, 09:57:16 PM: STADIUM EVENTS AGAIN. Boy these things sure seem common all of a sudden, you'd think the price would DROP, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO this one is at over $100,000 dollars with almost a day still left!!! WTFOMFG!!!!

Are these people playing a joke? You think someone is really going to pay that.

And I guarantee that top bid is a "sorry, my brother logged onto my account and bid $100K".

Post by: Senshi on March 01, 2010, 02:54:39 AM: It's total bullshit how everyone lists these as "the only sealed one" in existence. That's two in a couple weeks that are both sealed. No one can possibly know the exact number of copies that are sealed/available of any game. It's not like there is a video game census.

What difference does it make? Whoever buys it isn't likely to open it.

The pictures aren't very clear or close enough but with the ones that are up, I cant see the H-seam.

Post by: oldskool on March 01, 2010, 07:24:05 AM: Now there is talk that this one might be a scam. Could be a "re-seal". People even re-seal with the horizontal seam to make it look real, and this guy has not returned people's e-mails asking for close-ups of the seam.

I think the only thing he loves is the obnoxious prices for crappy sealed games.

Post by: RoyVegas on March 02, 2010, 06:35:04 AM: If you read the guys ad for the $14,000 box he says
Quote
I DO NOT sell games covered with writing and stickers
however that box clearly has a sticker with writing on it. In all fairness he did say he doesn't sell "games" covered with writing and stickers, and this is clearly not a game, its a box. It only has one sticker with writing so I guess the quote would be accurate. :-k

Post by: travisahhs on March 02, 2010, 04:55:30 PM: This Stadium Events thing has gotten waaay out of hand. I've only been following it for about 9 days, but i'm pretty sure that it's not gonna be paid for. Some joker got on there, and upped the price on the game, then 2 others followed suit. It's absolutely f*cking retarded. I don't care if only 2000 copies of the original edition of this game was made, it's not worth more than a decent college education, a house, and a car all combined.

but its part of the fun family fitness series! Thats priceless! Theres not enough money in the world to buy that kind of physical health regimen.

yknow whats sad is the buyer probably has a house, a car, and went to college, but is still too dense to realize what theyve done.

Post by: Raizen1984 on March 03, 2010, 04:36:21 AM: I think travis is right. This is a bit much, even for "Crazy Dion"-esque collectors. I'd be very surprised if the winner actually pays out.

EDIT: He didn't; the item's been re-listed.

Post by: Senshi on March 03, 2010, 06:10:02 AM: I don't think I've ever seen anyone put a response to a non-paying bidder at the bottom of an auction like this:

"I'm tired of these joy bidders thats not willing to pay and are playing around do you know this is causing me money to list this up. I will only take serious inquiries and offers only now and will not answer anyone with a yellow star rating. The two highest bidders was little kids that are sitting on their butts with pepperoni face pimples that have no lives. Now if you guys want to really make a offer please email me an offer and i will answer as many questions as possible."

Post by: travisahhs on March 06, 2010, 08:39:38 AM: A collector who believe that he must have the rarest of the rares. LOL I knew he wasn't gonna get 800k for that game. That shit-talking message from him when he relisted the item was priceless. I'm gonna see if I can't stop the process of closing my ebay account to see if I can't sabotage this one. I don't care if it gets banned.

edit - doesn't look like i'm gonna be able to. It only has just under 23 hours left, maybe it won't see much of a hike in bids, as it's only at 10 grand right now.
