This thread is for auctions on turbo items where the seller just creates a bad listing. It's not about gouging, it's just about people that take photos with their thumb in the photo, half their living room in the photo, or a description that is completely unreadable.
Here is the first example; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blazing-Lazers-TurboGrafx-16-1989-in-original-jewel-case-/110959363096?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item19d5b18418
One word - ZOOM. Every camera with a lens has a zoom for a reason. Use it!

A little. Too obvious?

If you squint you can see that there is a game floating in that badly shimmed "cappuccino foam" counter top...

OK, I'm not sure where to talk about this particular auction so I'll start the discussion in this thread.... Here is the auction link....

I'm not going to bash on the seller, but he states that the "rare Turbo-DuoTap" had to be custom ordered from Hudson and they were hand made. Did Hudson ever offer this? It kinda sounds like something Turbo Zone Direct might have done. Correct me if I am wrong, but all that is needed to make one of these is a screwdriver? Just take each tap apart and swap cables and re assemble right?
Also, his copy of Dungeon Explorer 2 looks a little odd. Has anyone ever seen that particular instruction book art for it? Looks like a burned/home made copy to me.
-
@Flare65 - Glad you asked this because I was wondering the very same thing. I've never heard anyone mention this before. Custom ordered from Hudson Soft? Why would they do this? There's no money in it for them.
-
Custom ordered my arse, that's a DIY job.
-
I sort of vaguely remember TZD selling some kind of cable swapped item, maybe it was this? Maybe it was TG-16 pads with Duo leads on them? Maybe I imagined this?
Anyway, I sure wish eBay would bring back insertion fees. The starting bid on that lot is $850. The starting bid Seems ridiculous to me.
-

It's been a while since I last posted here, but every so often I skim through posts here to see what's new for sale, whether Mysterious song was ever finished, etc.
I can confirm, TZD did sell these types of taps. They were sold in their catalog as, "Reverse Duo Taps" and "Reverse Turbo Taps". One allowed 5 Duo controllers on a TG-16 system, the other 5 TG-16 controllers on a DUO/PCE system.
They were featured for sell in many catalogs, but in the late 90's or so, as stock depleted, they left their catalog.
I also recall the awesome deal, of 5 controllers, and a tap. You could order either the TG16 combo pack, or the DUO combo pack. It was something crazy cheap (Considering todays prices for new stuff), $50 or so for 5 controllers and a tap. It was sold as the, "Bomberman Party Pack" or something to that effect.
.
-
Yeah TZD sold them and also early on when they sold SF II Champ if you ordered a 6 button pad and requested it they would change out the cord on that also. As far as the rest of the auction goes, does the seller even once mention if the CD system still works or not? Its hard to tell...
-
Seller claims Neutopia 2 game only is included in this lot, but the flash from his camera left such a horrible glare on the loose game, its hard to tell WHAT it is! Neutopia 2... or... Keith Courage? Why would they post that horrible picture? Take another one, you lazy ass!

It is Neutopia 2. I can tell from the artwork. But it is indeed a terrible photo.

I actually have one of these! won it in a lot with 5 turbo duo pads/turbo duo/ and Gate of thunder disk! kinda neat.

These listing are what inspired me to create this thread. I'm not sure what the seller was trying to accomplish here. Either way, I know there was some PhotoShop cutting going on. The end result is still terribly bad.

Looks like he is scanning them on a flatbed scanner.

Ah, that makes sense. Why go to that trouble? If you just have the card and there is nothing wrong with it just grab an image off Google.

He wanted to show off the grime in the little grippy area?
-
The mail order store I bought SFII' from bitd also offered Duo/PCE/Turbo cord swapping. Nec and TTi never did. TZD might have, but that's like saying the only way to get a Turbo game in a bubble envelope through the mail bitd was "factory direct".
-
looks more like he used a scanner to scan the game, and didn't bother cropping the actual item from the white/empty space.
-
I've noticed that seller's pictures before when I was purchasing some GB games. Especially for those, there is the tiniest little GB game in the corner. Apparently he hasn't heard of the 'crop' button.
Or he's an evil genius and his odd way of doing pictures is actually getting him more sales.
My guess would be the former, but who knows.
-
piehole69 just put up a bunch of listings. Could someone please tell me why sellers won't answer questions? I want to see a photo of one of his listing and I get this if I try to contact him;
"We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."
The description is a one liner that could mean anything, but I can't ask questions? Why do Sellers sell this way? Laziness? Why wouldn't they want more people interested to drive up the price?
-
Upside down pics. Really? #-o

And a $15 value on the 'professional' custom case. :lol:
-
Ebay conventions I hate:
*"Professionally cleaned." What the hell does this mean? Did they send it to the "Doc" of fix-a-system-plus fame? Did they take the cart to an Authorized Nintendo Repair Center?
*"This listed has ended because the item is no longer available." Words can't begin to describe my contempt for pussies that cancel auctions to sell privately.
*"like new" loose carts + stock pictures. Ebay condition criteria should be abundantly clear to everyone by now. I don't care how glossy that label is, if it's loose, it must be graded as "acceptable."
*Sellers that speak in the first person plural: "sorry, but we're out of stock" or "sorry, we made a mistake." Sure, this is believable when the seller's feedback is in the tens of thousands and they have hundreds of items listed at any given time, but most of this deceitful, responsibility-abdicating gobbledygook comes from idiots with a dozen games for sale. I refuse to believe that a seller with less feedback then me has a team of employees and a serious business.

@vestcoat - How do you feel about people using the word "collection" for an auction like this;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Grafx-16-Collection-Must-See-/110960376538?pt=Video_Games&hash=item19d5c0fada
Hello, this is my entire Turbo Grafx-16 collection. 1- consoles, 2 games.
He makes it sound enormous. :D

That's OK. This is the part that cooks my noodle:I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE LISTING AT ANT TIME.
At least it's not an auction.
-
Find the ones that say "New Other". It could refer to a game that taken from a box but otherwise unplayed. It could refer to a new video card pulled from a system that was unused. It is being used by lots of people to sell stuff they reconditioned and attract them to there auction with the word "NEW".

-

Yeah, I couldn't even figure that part out.
"Lot of 5 others lots"
Then in the description it lists two games and states;
"make me an offer for all 10 games."
:lol:
On top of that he shows pictures of near perfect boxes, but the listings are for hu cards only. So I'm guessing he just posted the first Google images that come up in a search.

Since they are located in Quebec, perhaps French is their primary language?
Still better overall English writing than this-
pac land pac man
yo bro
hu cards only - all my games work and are in great condition.
no manuauls or case hu cards and sleeve only - i have other games listed as well , make me offer .
Looks like he is scanning them on a flatbed scanner.
Ah, that makes sense. Why go to that trouble? If you just have the card and there is nothing wrong with it just grab an image off Google.
They are making the effort to show the actual item for sale. People leave negative feedback over cheap games when they aren't in the condition conjured by their imagination, based on a brief description. A picture of the actual item for sale helps prevent losing a refund claim.

This was my message;
You stole an image from the most popular TurboGrafx reviewer on the internet - spida1. Be ashamed of yourself.
You write back;
That guys a goof and he has a gay youtube channel. so that makes him the bigggest reviewer... get real
Now I've never met spida1, but I'm positive he's not a f*ckwad like yourself. Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt I'm still sure spida1 isn't as big a dick as you. I'm absolutely certain he's never used a cereal box for anything other than cereal.

I'm so confused about what happened in this thread, haha.
I'm new here and some of the comments I've seen here aren't exactly the most...inviting.
I'm hoping this is an exception and not the norm.

Hey sadikyo, this is a pretty cool place. Canada is just a troll who needs to be banned. Most people here are very cool and laid-back.

ASIDE: fiftyquid, this is a great idea for a thread. I hope it flourishes (it should, because there is no shortage of incompetent listings/descriptions in this glorious kosmos).
-
*"This listed has ended because the item is no longer available." Words can't begin to describe my contempt for pussies that cancel auctions to sell privately.
That is eBay's catch-all for any item that ends early for any reason (private sale, auction got reported and pulled down, seller banned, etc.) and not always a seller cancelling the auction to sell privately.
I share your contempt though.

This guy has had a few listings up before. Selling a bunch of games, using default pic (no photos), and a vague description.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soldier-Blade-TurboGrafx-16-WITH-BOX-/320998275634?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item4abcfcfa32
I guess he just wants us to trust the VERY GOOD he's used as reference. Oh, and you can't (at least I can't) contact him.

I really don't understand why people don't take just a few minutes to make a more detailed listing. As the seller, you are trying to make the most amount of money, but so many sellers throw something up like:
"mario for nes no manual paypal only plz"
Like they are on the subway and making a quick listing before they forget or something. It is really odd. And I understand if you have 1,000 listings, but it really surprises me when it is someone with just a few listings.
Course, we now have the whole "ebay mobile" thing, which encourages it, so I don't know.
I guess not everyone is a marketing expert, but some of it seems like common sense...
-
Common sense seems to be a rarity today. Every year I look at taking a night course at my local college and I wholeheartedly expect to see Common Sense 101 listed there.
-
The problem is - anyone who actually had to resort to taking that class.....would probably fail, haha.
-
Course, we now have the whole "ebay mobile" thing, which encourages it
Yeah, I've noticed that too, so many thoughtless listings end with the little note about it being posted with eBay mobile.
What strikes me as odd is that the crappy listings are the ones that seem to sell fast or get bid on to high amounts.
-
Honestly, how many of us really need to know what Mario is? The reason I believe so many auctions are started like that, is because people assume we already know what the hell it it. :) And, they would be correct, for the most part... I mainly just wanna know its condition and all. More is always better, but not so much required.

I definitely agree, some of the listings don't require a lot of detail. For listings where the seller is selling a box though, I definitely would want to see what condition the box was before dropping $100 (if I collected boxes). I don't see box collectors being attracted to a listing like this. Especially without a 'contact seller' option. Well, I cannot contact the seller. Perhaps it's just blocked for Canadian buyers.
-
I'm honestly surprised to see an unsold copy of Soldier Blade with the box and manual for only $140. Other copies have fetched much higher prices.
The vague description is adequate in this case. The common problem with condition ratings isn't beat-up junk listed as "very good", it's incomplete items. Sellers don't realize the higher categories have to be complete and they try to pass off loose carts as "mint" just because the label is glossy. In the case of this Soldier Blade listing, the seller specifically states that the box and manual are included, so the "very good" grade should be an accurate indication of the items' condition. He also has perfect feedback.
Taking a gamble on poorly-described items with stock pictures is really the best way to not get gouged these days. I bought DE2 for $17 BIN in '07 because a seller didn't take pictures. It had been listed for over a day and nobody had the guts to buy a game without a picture.
Especially without a 'contact seller' option. Well, I cannot contact the seller. Perhaps it's just blocked for Canadian buyers.
I think ebay switched it so you have to click "ask a question" and then goto "contact seller" at the bottom of a list of stock answers.
-
I tried the Ask Seller. It just brings me to the same disclaimer. Maybe it is a region thing?
Here's one... You can actually see the cement block wall in the background. Seems to me like he rooted around in his basement after seeing Turbo games fetching a pretty penny on eBay. He even took the pictures on his washing machine. The air freshener is a nice touch. :)

let's me ask a question through ebay on those?????? Did you remember to hit ask a question, then press a sub topic, then click NO THIS DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION, I'd like to contact the seller?????? yeah it takes like nine steps now.
-
Yeah, these are the exact step I took. After all this I get a red warning saying "The Seller says piss off". So then I go back pick another bullet point with the hopes of maybe finding a loophole and actually contacting the seller. The only way I'm able to get around it is to send the Seller my question through the eBay Mobile App on my phone.
-
I went to e-bay to check out about the region thing and you can set it up tell Internationals to "piss off" I'm guessing he has it set to only accept questions from those in the US

I am registered on the US site - even though I am in Canada, and I can get through to contact the seller. Try logging on the .com site and see if it works from there...

I originally signed up on the .ca site years ago. I quickly learned that going to .com was best for searches, but my registration was already with .ca. I haven't visited .ca for years now. I default to .com.
I don't mind using my phone to contact sellers, it's just a pain in the ass because I usually try through my computer first.

I sent this seller a polite message telling him that one just like his sold recently for under $200.00, so he needs to lower his price and that this game didn't come with a case, so the case with the game is just a Keith Courage case with the sticker peeled off. I guess we'll see what happens...

How about this gem:

Extremely rare you wont find this game anywhere
Except that you can in fact find it somewhere, like in his auction.
not even online.
Then how is the auction online possible? Suddenly I hear the Twilight Zone music playing.

LOL i did the same thing...actually asked him to take better pictures of the case and manual
-
Well, he responded to me quite politely and dropped his starting bid to $190.00, which is at least in the realm of possibility. I would bet that it probably will sell now.

Wow. You guys actually talked someone down.

oh god, i've seen some bad paint jobs before, but oh my god.
there is probably a way to save that, but idk if it's really worth it, y'know?
maybe just have someone competent do another custom paint job.

I bet the guy that painted that system used to work as the designer for the art on TG16 boxes.
In other words, he is awesome.

I figure you'd actually just make up a vat of acetone, and soak it for a few days. To be honest, I don't know how acetone or other paint thinners affect plastic. But I'm sure with some research, you could take off the paint via a chemical method, instead of a brute force method.
Or you could put it in a house of horrors for Halloween. Scariest thing ever for a turbo fan.

My favourite part of that is the disclaimer:
(Air Zonk is not a sticker)
Which could be taken 2 ways:
(Air Zonk is not a sticker - yes, I am that good)
or
(Air Zonk is not a sticker - no, you will not be able to just peel it off and be done with it)
-
You could probably have someone sand blast it. That'd be the easiest method.

acetone will eat the ABS too, I tried this once in the lab. Why remove it? just use it as primer and spray it black again. Although I'd still e haunted knowing it's under there.

Yeah that guy is ridiculous and here he says: "This is a very limited time offer auction, don't miss out on this great deal, Priced as one lot, will not be separated."
He's been relisting this lot for months. The price did come down, though, originally they wanted like $64,000+ for it.

Another fun one.
•This auction is for Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. This game is a rare classic that ever single person in the US must own and it’s so RARE that everyone can! I can’t stress again how rare this game is, just walk into some Wal-Mart store and try to find it...YOU WONT. Wal-Mart has everything including hillbilly hookers.....Just ask my neighbor, I think he lives there but you sure as hell wont find the almighty Keith there. Just look at all the other auctions on eBay, they all tell you how rare it is, ITS RARE because we say so and you have to trust that because you read it on the internet.
This game is so darn rare that the original owner didn’t open it. Either he knew how rare it would be someday or frankly he was aware of just what kind of craptastic display of how this game utilized all of 12 colors out of the available 512 the Turbo Grafx had. You’re no collector unless you have a new unwrapped stack of games you can’t play sitting around. Keith Courage was known for ultra fast game play, accurate and precise controls and drop dead gorgeous color spectrum that only a pallet of 12 colors can provide. Trust me on this, after all you’re only going to buy it and let it sit on a shelf, you won’t know the difference!
I am only listing this once so you better jump all over it because once the auction is over; I am just going to list it again with another final listing threat! You wont see this game on eBay, it only sells once are twice a year. All those other auctions are just inferior. Get the real collectable here and just think of it like this, after this sits on a shelf collecting dust for the next 10 years and isn’t worth the plastic it’s made out of, you can turn around and sell it as an investment and put the kid you think is yours through junior college. Collecting games make you as cool as you want to be on the interwebz, get all over this game because it’s definitely a rare collectors item.
I might VGA grade this game and if I do....watch out its going to be worth millions and don’t you worry.....one of you space cadets sitting in your basement will buy it and I will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!

Plus, I love that game "Hu Card"

If he could power it up, would he say its not working? Doesnt work too well with the game upside down.

I think he put the Game upside down on purpose to try and trow of bidders and make it seem he don't know what he's doing.. I bet it don't work

0 feedback. I'm sure it'll sell though.

VGA kind of f*cked up in grading that item, since it was clearly a pack-in with the console, never available with that sticker on its own. They graded "part" of a complete set. So much for being an "authority." Maybe I'm just being nit-picky. But if I were to pay a ridiculous premium on a sealed item, I'd not want something that is noticeably incomplete.

There are tons of things in this guys auctions that I'm sure people would love to point out. What I'm curious about though is the game case. So in this guys wonderful grading system he made up, shouldn't the fact that this game not being in an original case have anyting to with it's grading? If I'm not mistaken, the only US Turbo game that came with the case, and have a clipless case, was Keith Courage.

As pointed out when this auction of yours was posted about on PCEFX.com, this game is not complete in its box. You are missing the original plastic tray that held the game. Until you offer it with the tray, it will not be complete.
- professorprofessorson
Dear professorprofessorson,
I presume you respond with even greater zeal to those who sell as complete without boxes? I received no email when I sold a game without a sleeve.
- pacfamily
Dear pacfamily,
The point being, you're going on about how it is complete in your auction details, and its not. Get your crap straight.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
-
Heh, well, his Splatterhouse shirt is still available at least lol.
-
Brag about getting away with selling incomplete 'complete' items and tell a prospective buyer to f*ck off? What a charmer.
-
I just sent "PACFAMILY" a question about a CIB NES game he has listed. I already got a response and I replied again.
I will post the conversation in a bit...
-
I have 2 modern Splatterhouse promotional T-shirts when I worked at Blockbuster for free. I asked my manger if I could have one and she said yes. Few weeks later she said I could have the other one since it was taking up room and they weren't going to use it.
That old school one looks sweet I must admit but $80 starting bid? No thanks.
-
So here is my conversation so far with PACFAMILY. I reached out to him about a boxed "complete" NES game. Now mind you, I understand that some people don't care about the inserts to consider a game complete, but I needed some leg to stand on in order to contact him...
Dear pacfamily,
Hi, I see your description states "Complete", however, I don't see the inserts (poster, ads, etc.) in the picture. I assume they are there if this is truly complete. Lots of sellers state an item is complete when it isn't. I understand, it happens a lot when people that don't truly collect video games think these things are complete.
thanks

Dear dealisdead,
I've spoken with many leading collectors in the world over the years, and know personally owners of some of the biggest online and offline retro gaming stores in America.
It is widely accepted, if not universally accepted, that an NES game as I've presented it in this auction is "complete."
You are entitled to your is dissenting opinion, but it is ONLY your opinion, and I don't appreciate your cocksure attitude that your opinion is fact. Or your implication that I don't truly collect video games and so don't know what I am doing. No matter who you are, chances are that I have more experience in my pinky than you have in your totality.
Do your complete games include shrink wrap ? No? Then by your logic they are not complete.
I don't understand the purpose of your email; please vent your frustrations with collecting standards elsewhere. You're from Rhode Island? Most people from that fine state are more reasonable.
- pacfamily
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Um...ok. I was just asking about the additional items that would consider it complete. Why are you so defensive?
No need to "puff your chest" about talking to leading collectors the world over and having more experience in your pinky, blah blah.
There are thousands of sellers on ebay with misrepresenting information about what's in their auctions. How often do people use the term "RARE" or "Museum Quality" in the titles? If you are so entrenched in the scene, I'm sure you have come across this as well and roll your eyes.
I have nothing to vent about collecting standards at all, so I'm not quite sure what you meant by that.
To answer your question about shrink wrap, no, it doesn't qualify as "complete", I would consider that "sealed".
And as for your final comment, no, people in RI are certainly not "more reasonable" than me. This state is a dump with a bunch of lazy unemployed crack heads.
-dealisdead
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I only called out "museum quality" because that is what he had in the title of the splatterhouse shirt.
Awaiting response...

Ha yeah the guy is highly defensive. Leads me to believe he must get a lot of messages from people questioning him about this stuff and ragging on him for false advertisement.

look what mom packed for lunch... she must be hittin' the sauce again lol :shock:
You know, I was hesitant to post about this guy, but I guess I will do so. Awhile back I listed a auction for Sini for a copy of Dragon Slayer and Dungeon Master. I attached a low start bid and low bin because these were not mint copies, and the manual was missing to Dragon Slayer. Soon after the listing started I received a message from the guy:
Dear professorprofessorson,
hello. would you sell the back of the case for dragon slayer by itself. i am missing the back only on my copy. let me know what we could work out if anything. thanks.
- mrniceguy1408
I replied back with the following:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
No sorry, cant. These are being sold for a friend to help assist in getting music equipment replaced. His home was hit during the Sandy storm in NY and he and his band lost all their music gear, etc, so I am doing a few auctions to try to get him as much money as I can to help him out. That is why I listed these and also Steam Hearts so cheap on the starting bids, to drive up interest in them and get him some money fast.
- professorprofessorson
He contacted back again stating the following:
Dear professorprofessorson,
well this way would benefit him more. i would pay $16 for the case back. ive been selling turbo stuff for years. and a lot of it. when people buy turbo cd games its all or nothing. somebody would want the disc more than a disc and case cause its more likely somebody lost their disc only than still have their manual but lost the case and disc. most common would be the lost manual like you have.
- mrniceguy1408
I then politely declined his offer again, even though he was being annoying and persistant:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Sorry, at this time this would not benefit him more, as I already have 4 watchers on this auction. Thanks for your interest though.
- professorprofessorson
Next thing I know he uses BIN, so I contact him with the following message, then after a short time I purchase shipping:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Will ship these out monday with tracking and insurance. Thanks for the purchase and happy holidays. :)
- professorprofessorson
After shipping has been paid for and tracking info relayed to him through ebay, I receive the following message:
Dear professorprofessorson,
if i bin the steam hearts would you go free shipping on it since im getting a package shipped from you already?
- mrniceguy1408
I politely replied back with the following:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Sorry, wish I could, but shipping has already been paid for on the other two games. Paid for shipping on them late last night. Did ebay not give you the tracking/shipping info on them yet? If not, the tracking number for USPS First Class Mail is 9416 5096 9993 9398 7123 86. When at all possible I do combine shipping, but if someone doesn't notify me of intent to purchase or bid on other items when they purchase one already I usually just go ahead and get the shipping paid for and ready to be picked up by USPS.
- professorprofessorson
He replied back with :
Dear professorprofessorson,
ok. thats fine.
- mrniceguy1408
So anyway, fast forward to today , I log in to do my every two week shipping cost review for items sold and I see my DSR stats lowered, and while the guy did leave a positive FB, he made some inaccurate statement concerning the auction and shipping cost:
FB received: Good description. Should have specified water damage. Shipping cost a bit high.
I'm going to state for the record, the auction details listed everything wrong with the items, including what was missing, and what had damage and there was detailed pics, and the over all auction condition listing was "GOOD", which is a notch above "acceptable". The water damage he is referring to was listed in detail. I listed in the auction details I refund shipping/handling cost for anything not used. He was charged $6.65 for S&H and refunded $1.56 towards that since what he paid was $4.67 in actual cost, plus the 50 cents or so to pay my daughter to pack it/bubble wrap the games well, which I might add she did a pretty nice job on, as it was nice and thick, taped up extremely well, and well protected (I pay her to do the smaller pack jobs so she can get experience and earn a little money). I listed the case insert on Dragon Slayer had moderate damage, and on its pic I specifically listed it had moisture damage to make sure this was crystal clear:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/Amakusa666/autcion pics/damagelisting.jpg)
I contacted him after issuing the S&H refund with the following messages (I had to split it up a tad due to length):
Dear mrniceguy1408,
You know, I was fairly hesitant to allow you to purchase the game after realizing you are a reseller. However, I went ahead and did so on good faith instead of blocking your account after nagging me about buying the case insert by itself. So we are clear on this, the details listed moderate wear, and the pic of the game showing the insert specifically had posted on it that it had moisture damage (the detail was added in on the pic when it was hosted on my photobucket account. This was put on the pic to make sure the buyer knew exactly what they were buying, so had you reviewed the auction in full including pics so you could see the condition of the items you would have spotted this. As for shipping and handling cost,$4.67 was paid to cover the cost of shipping, and the remainder went to the person who packed the item to cover handling and packing materials.Every two weeks I review final cost and issue refunds to buyers for funds not used. (continued next message....)
- professorprofessorson
Dear mrniceguy1408,
(continued from last message)Upon receiving said items you did not contact me with any of your complaints concerning condition or shipping cost prior to leaving feedback. While I appreciate receiving a positive, the actual details contained in it are inaccurate, as is lowering my DSR, and to be quite honest, it felt more or less like a spiteful act, simply because I would not sell you the case insert separately, which was politely explained to you that I could not do so, as the item was being sold for a 3rd party, and also that ebay does not allow sellers or buyers to contact each other in regards to making purchases outside of ebay, which I could have reported you for, but did not do so. I am attaching pics of the shipping receipt, and also of the auction detail that you clearly missed before using BIN. Please feel free to review them at your leisure.
- professorprofessorson
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Pics attached.
- professorprofessorson
(I attached two pics to the message for him to view, one showing the auction detail showing it listing moisture damage, and another that was a copy of the ship receipt)
He replied back with the following:
Dear professorprofessorson,
i did not see anything about moisture damage in any photo in the description even going back and double checking.
i only resell extra stuff i get from lots. i try not to resell at all.
i did not ask you to sell me anything on the side. i simply asked if you would separate it. report me if you'd like. I've been a bad boy.
i gave you good stars on shipping time and lower stars on description, shipping cost and communication. description and communication go hand in hand in my book. i ship alot and know about what that cost you. you could have thrown in steam hearts and still payed less than your shipping cost with a free flat rate box and some garbage stuffed in for protection.
i did not hold it against you for not separating. if i did you would have received a negative or neutral score. i'm not like that though. the shipping cost thing was irritating to me though.
sorry. i take full responsibility for my faults.
please block and report me.
do not respond.
this is annoying.
- mrniceguy1408
So I replied back again stating the following:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
You may have viewed the auction then before photobucket applied the changes to the pic for general viewing. People who don't clear their web browsers cache sometimes have this happen I guess and retain what they originally viewed, and the pic gets stuck on them until they clear their cache. It however shows up correct for me when I viewed the auction, and did before you used BIN, so I am not sure what to tell you there. I double check the auctions twice for typos once theey are listed and it appeared fine. Also, you were sent a receipt of the shipping cost, since you know a lot about shipping cost I am sure you will be able to read and review the receipt perfectly fine and see that the shipping cost was $4.67 before packing cost,etc. And as stated, I review cost every two weeks and refund buyers the difference if there is any. You did not contact me concerning any of this prior to leaving feedback. Also, shipping was paid for prior to you contacting me about Steam Hearts. You know this already. You can check the date on the shipping receipt if you like. Steam Hearts would have increased the weight past what was already paid for, so no, I could not have thrown in Steam Hearts, and besides, the feedback should only be applied to the current purchase, not to some hypothetical one you decided not to make. I guess that was another mark against me ehh, not paying double shipping so you could get free shipping cost on Steam Hearts? In the end, as stated, for someone who says communication goes hand in hand, you evidently have issues with it in general when you don't get your way.
- professorprofessorson
His final message back in response to this was:
Dear professorprofessorson,
cry me a river.
note is not on the photo on my page.
i don't complain before leaving feedback anymore because.... why cry about it. nothing ever gets done anyway. i am picky but reasonable.
shut the fu** up. you got a positive. you deserved the stars you got for the purchase i made. even the good stars. btw recycled bubble mailers are free and green. thanks for saving the planet.
as for the purchase i didnt make. flat rate! $5.××! had nothing to do with your shipping rating on my purchase.
Happy Hanukkah! Or Christmas if you celebrate. good start to a new year.
do not reply or i will report you for bugging me.
- mrniceguy1408
Replied back:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Reasonable people make contact PRIOR to leaving feedback if they have any complaints. Thats common sense. Anyway, since it was posted prior on PCEFX about your Super System Card auction, I decided to post on this experience I have had with you as a buyer so people can have a more complete picture of who you are as a reseller.
http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=13195.msg276370#msg276370
- professorprofessorson
And again:
Dear professorprofessorson,
hahhahahahahaahahaha! i do not give a sh**. i do no go on pcefx. real "reasonable" adults take responsibility for their actions. i am sick of sellers not being specific enough with their products. the shipping thing wasn't huge but a good seller would be more "reasonable". what would you have done for me if i complained? all you would have said "well i posted it on photobucket". "as is no returns" remember. you dont sound at all like a professor. im only nice to sellers that give 100%. look i know nobody's perfect but your response to things sounds like you lived with mommy for too long. get over it dude. youll live. try harder and post ALL details before people buy your stuff. get more high ratings and in no time youll be back where you once were. i think i might jump on pcefx just to clown half ass sellers and little Bs. good luck on your pitiful journey.
- mrniceguy1408
And so on:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
Sorry guy, but the details listed moderate wear, and the pic showing the insert for Dragon Slayer posted "moisture damage" directly on the pic. Stop feigning stupidity. You can clearly see "Dragon Slayer case insert has moisture damage" stamped directly on the 2nd pic in the auction. You were even refunded the difference on shipping. You have nothing legit to complain about. You were just upset I would not sell you the insert separately outside ebay, and that I could not bend time and space for his Highness so he could buy his wittle Steam Hearts and get free shipping. You made that clear in your bitter little rant about how when you complain to people no one listens. So sad, ammarite? I'd love for you to show up on PCEFX. We'd have a ball with you there. Resellers like you are always great for a laugh.
- professorprofessorson
blah blah:
Dear professorprofessorson,
i laughs at fools like you all day. i will be contacting ebay to get the feedback removed. i never said yo sell it off of ebay but only asked if youd separate. and i will jump on pcefx to give my side. post full description on ebay (since thats where youre selling it) not photobucket. laugh away my friend.
- mrniceguy1408
blah blah moar:
Dear mrniceguy1408,
People there can view it. Ebay can view your messages you sent me as far as trying to buy the insert separately. I already notified them. Please feel free to post the auction details to a auction everyone can already view. I am a well known seller and member there, good luck trying to twist the obvious in your favor. It aint gonna happen, but like I said, you will be fun for lulz.

Original auction link to the one he purchased:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170963539860&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Should also note, he listed the items he purchased off me up for resale and marked up the cost on them a bit more then he paid via his BIN prices. He also removed the insert from Dragon Slayer, so it is just a bare disc, making his price mark up even worse:
25 bucks BIN
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Slayer-The-Legend-of-Heroes-TurboGrafx-CD-1992-Disc-Only-/130828809377?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1e760134a1

Anyway, I figured you all may want to know in case he wants to buy anything off you, or in case he is a lurker/member here.

Sent him a time waster message on the DS auction:
I'm confused. The title says "disc only", yet the item condition clearly says ".....cover art and liner notes are included for a CD.....video game instructions are included....." and a jewel case is shown in the picture. So what is/isn't included?
Thanks.

It was actually I who grabbed your copy of Steam Hearts professor :wink: I'll just ahead and leave you feedback now (without even actually having received the item yet) as your auction was clearly stated and I trust ya :D

Professor. I left positive feedback with high stars where they belong. Your note on the photobucket pic was and still is not there on my ebay page. Next time post it on the description with the rest of your details. Im not a bad seller or buyer and from your positive feedback score it proves you are not either. Thats why I left you a positive feedback. Now my side is out you guys can have your fun.

I seriously appreciate that gesture. When I jump on tonight to leave some FB I will be sure to get yours in there. I usually just do it in batches most of the time. Also, if anyone was curious as to how well my daughter can handle packing the small stuff, this is the pack job on one/single jewel case game:

It's ok Necro, I will bring the rage:
And the f*ck face finally arrives. Look a$$hole, no one else is having any issue reading the auction details and viewing the pics in the auction. The details specified it had moderate wear, and it truly was moderate, as opposed to extreme and undisplayable. The ebay condition grade was listed as "GOOD", because, for one, one of the games was complete, and the other, the condition of the insert fit "GOOD" by ebays terms. When all else fails, and the most important item to you is the insert, and you see it has a listed condition of "moderate wear", and you are worried about the exact specifics, maybe you should check the pics AND message the seller asking about the exact details PRIOR to using BIN.
As for the pics, ALL my auction pics are hosted on my Photobucket account. The 2nd pic down in the auction, the one containing the image of the insert, it was this one exactly, as found on my PB account and the auction details:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/Amakusa666/autcion pics/DSCN6581.jpg)
The exact damage concerning the insert was listed on the pic so that it could be specified again that the insert did have moderate wear/damage. This was my way of doubling up on the details. There is nothing wrong in doing so. I actually take the time to take multiple pics of the items I sell, as opposed to you, who cant be bothered to take more then one pic, but wants to accuse me of not being in depth on my auction details concerning condition. As stated prior to you, for someone who claims to be reasonable, none of your actions provide proof of the such, and it's not like I sent you a item not as described. It was sent EXACTLY as described AND shown in the auction details and pics.
And on the topic of reasonable people, reasonable people do more then glance at a auction then hit BIN, and complain later when they are not happy. Reasonable people don't hold grudges when they cant have a extra game magically added to free shipping because their prior purchase had its shipping already paid for. Reasonable people don't plot to burn the seller simply because they wouldn't sell them a game insert separately from a auction. Reasonable people also don't take the two games they purchased, remove a item from one of them, then jack up the price of both games on two separate auction listings either. You basically complain about the condition of the items, and yet at the same time relist them asking for more money then I did? Other then being a total cunt, where is the reasoning in that? And last but not least, reasonable people don't take a Super System Card, add a sandwich bag, and trump up the price by $150. I mean, are you serious?
And also, I mean seriously, who the f*ck do you think you are that you think I need to stop everything, yank down the auction listing, take new pics, type up new details, and re-list, all because MR. Niceguy has to have his insert. Are you that f*cking childish that you'd expect me to do that? The first time I declined your offer should have been it for you. Get a f*cking clue idiot.
-
Niceguy - No one cares about your reseller PR damage control. No one except for you and Prof care about that water-damaged insert. You can write chappy responses all day, but all we see is a parasite noob (gouging the hell out of a 3.0 card) trying to flip a trusted member's games for profit. What do you think our verdict will be? Enjoy your stay.

This seriously. I had the two games listed together at a low start bid of $32.99 and a BIN of $44.99. Guy complains about the condition, removes a insert, then relist them separately and ask for a bit more.... I mean, wtf.... And the whole sandwich bag $150 mark up on the super system card thing, I mean really? Other then VG Quantity, who else does this kind of stuff?

Don't get your hopes up. I could give him the benefit of the doubt if he had merely said something controversial, but he's done far more than "headbutting." Look at his actions:
1) Established reseller gouging a 3.0 card for $270 BIN
2) PCEFX lurker for the past 8 months, never posted except to defend himself.
3) Dubious ebay integrity: breaks condition grading guidelines, requested lot to be broken up, probably wanted to make purchase outside of ebay.
4) Flipping Prof's games at inflated price.
5) Docked feedback points without warning after Professorson had refunded shipping overcharge. This is f*cked up even if Prof neglected to mention the water damage. There is no better sign of an honest person than when an anonymous ebay seller takes the time to refund some chump a $1 because they made too much money. Whenever someone does this for me, I know they have my back and problems are easily solved if I ask nicely, in the unlikely event there is one.
6) Unprofessional on ebay: "shut the f*ck up", "i laughs(sic) at fools like you all day", "I don't give a sh**", etc.
Now, I have no right to criticize anyone for swearing on the internet, but one should maintain a modicum of civility when doing business. If nothing else, the ebay arbitrators are more likely to side with the guy who isn't talking like a longshoreman. A man has to be pretty callous and spiteful to drop F-bombs and antagonize their business partners with impunity.

Haha! Damn! You were right professor. These guys are rippin me a new one!!!! Im curious. what do you guys think I should list it at? I really don't want to get rid of it but let me know what I should post it for please.
Btw. I dont mean to be a "lurker". I signed up originallyto get those custom case labels

I wish steam hearts and dragon slayer would've been been offered for sale here instead of ebay. This problem would've been avoided completely.

This is the thing here too on this. In my payment and shipping policy I state the following:
PAYMENT AND SHIPPING INFO IS LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUCTION, AND YES, I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COST ON MULTIPLE ITEMS. IF THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR OVERCHARGES YOU I WILL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE AFTER THE ITEM HAS BEEN SHIPPED. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, CHECK MY FEEDBACK PRIOR TO PLACING ANY BIDS :)
and
SHIPPING AND PAYMENT POLICY: Shipping in the USA will be offered via USPS First Class if weight of item allows. If having to combine with other items or due to weight over 13 oz., it will be shipped via USPS Parcel Post, Priority Mail, or UPS Ground. On computers specifically, I only use Parcel Post to normal addresses, and can only ship within the USA from the east to west coast. If you live in Hawaii or PR, etc, or outside of the USA, I can not ship any heavy computer related items to you. I can only ship to the address presented in the paypal payment info. My shipping out/handling time is typically between 3-5 business days after payment is made, unless weather is bad (winter storm, etc). Cost will depend on location of buyer. Do not submit payment until invoice is sent please. I will combine shipping cost for multiple items. Again, shipping to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska or outside of the USA will not be available for large computer related items. Package will be sent with both tracking and fully insured for the auction end value. As I do not ship outside of the USA, please do not place a bid or use BIN if you are not located in a location I can ship to. PAYPAL ONLY. NO ECHECKS! PAYMENT EXPECTED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF END OF AUCTION. REMEMBER: ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, CHECK MY FEEDBACK PRIOR TO PLACING BIDS :)
Now what I do is basically every two weeks or so I check sold and shipped items payment and shipping details, do the math, and if a refund is due I issue it, which is why I was logged in my account last night. I don't do it right away because honestly its easier to do the stuff in batches when I have all the shipping receipts sitting in front of me and I dont have to continuously log into paypal, and it is hardly ever required, ever, except sometimes on small items like in this case. There is a mandatory $3 fee tacked onto all my auctions for handling and packing materials in addition to the calculated shipping cost. I do not always need this fee, as stated concerning small items, or all of it anyway, but I cant stress enough how many times this does not even help either.
Auctions like my computer ones where I charge a flat $37 and spend $42 on shipping alone, before buying a large box and lots of thick bubble wrap, the extra $3 does not make a dent. It does help though on small items that just happen to exceed certain cost due to the auction ending for a lot more then expected and extra insurance needing to be purchased past the initial amount, or in cases where the shipping cost was quoted for parcel post, but that extra $3 being there also just happens to help cover the extra buck something to pay for priority mail. Its there to allow these things when needed. When some, or all of it is not needed, it is refunded back in due time.
I have 100 percent feedback rating. I do run into a$$holes like this now and then that like to f*ck with my DSR over petty shit, but the fact remains, I do have 100 percent feedback, and even if I didn't, my FB is awesome enough anyway to know I do a good job. Of the few times a item has arrived not as described, it was because USPS totally destroyed the package and I had to open a insurance claim. It is rare, but it happens. The people that usually f*ck with my DSR more often then not are resellers with lower stats then mine. Its one of their ways with screwing with what they perceive to be the competition, or to lash out because of their own self-made problems.
Also, just to state again, this auction Mr.Niceguy purchased, the stuff was not mine. I was doing this auction as a favor for Sini. As everyone here knows, the guy got hit hard by Sandy. He is still recovering from that mess. This was one of the ways I was able to help him out. I stood nothing to gain from this auction, and it was my time and energy spent on handing it for him, which I would gladly do for any friend in need.

I wish steam hearts and dragon slayer would've been been offered for sale here instead of ebay. This problem would've been avoided completely.
You know, I like this rationale, but at the same time, out of the hundreds of items I have listed here to give the community some kind of first dibs, only a few have actually sold, via trade mainly. With the holidays going on, and so many here already holding sales trying to get money in to cope with the holidays, I did not wish to conflict with others sale threads. These items were not for trade obviously either, as they were not mine. Someone here contacted me via pm in fact after seeing the Steam Hearts auction and made a offer to do a trade, and I had to turn them down, which I hated to do.
Sorry, just how it is. The sooner money was obtained, the better for the party they were being sold for, so I could not waste time having them sit on a thread here for days on end. It was my time I was volunteering to move the items, so I did so the best way I knew so they would sell in the fastest time possible so I could get Sini the money faster. If its any consolation to you, Bernie was notified about Steam Hearts, as was Herc prior to the ebay listing. I kept it as simple as that in order to get things done faster.

Nice act. Hope you don't mind if I keep bumping your true colors.

hahhahahahahaahahaha! i do not give a sh**.
shut the fu** up. you got a positive. you deserved the stars you got for the purchase i made. even the good stars. btw recycled bubble mailers are free and green. thanks for saving the planet.
report me if you'd like. I've been a bad boy.
your response to things sounds like you lived with mommy for too long. get over it dude. youll live. try harder and post ALL details before people buy your stuff. get more high ratings and in no time youll be back where you once were. i think i might jump on pcefx just to clown half ass sellers and little Bs. good luck on your pitiful journey.
Happy Hanukkah! Or Christmas if you celebrate. good start to a new year.
do not reply or i will report you for bugging me.
i laughs at fools like you all day. i will be contacting ebay to get the feedback removed. i never said yo sell it off of ebay but only asked if youd separate. and i will jump on pcefx to give my side. post full description on ebay (since thats where youre selling it) not photobucket. laugh away my friend.

Professor. I didnt read the last entry but there is no need to. I looked through my ebay page and clicked through the links. It was there. I didnt know you could click through to a link. I just scrolled through the posted pics. I am wrong. I will be removing my feedback when I get a chance today or tomorrow. I apologize for any dickhead moves I made throughout all of this. Im glad I took the time to read all of your posts and listen. You are a true professor and I have just been schooled by you. I hope this will help you gain rank and respect beyond what you already have earned. This is pretty embarrassing but a lesson. I thank you all for this experience and Im sorry we couldnt discuss better issues on better terms. I will make a change in my life. Now.

I am so happy this happened today. I had a lot of free time to keep up on the forum today, and this is just comedy gold. Bravo fellahs.
I would have been bummed out if I missed this all day. I'm not being sarcastic either, this is making me piss myself.
-
As far as I am aware, the damage is already done. I do not believe feedback for a seller can be removed unless ebay themselves find cause to do so, due to profanity, etc, or the seller is able to send a feedback revision request and the buyer accepts it. In this case I can not do so. Even though the DSR stats were lowered, the feedback itself has the allusion to being a "positive" simply due to that being the type that was chosen to post, and you can not send a FB revision request for a positive. Also, you were not contacted in regards to me requesting or hoping you'd change the FB. My only goal was to state how f*cked up it was. Nothing else to say on the matter really.
-
It was f*cked up. Honestly I think it stems from so many bad buys with bad descriptions and nasty sellers lately I am short to the point of irrational. I think since I posted negative comments in the positive feedback they have to remove it if it is brought to their attention. I will genuinely try my best and do what I can.

Looks like he found a bunch of gaming stuff at a yard sale thinking he found a gold mine.

Maybe he thought that the orange color of the N64 would make it compatible with the Turbostick...

The $4 shipping is the best part. If it was a bit more reasonably priced I'd be interested, there's even an expansion pak in the system.

This is a weird listing of random shit, but not really a bad deal.
Figure the stick goes for $20-25,
Completed listings of the N64 go from $40-60.
Exp Packs are $15-20
Boxed Starfox complete is $30-40
That is a range of $105 to $145 for $94. The only real problem is it is a random mashing of crap, which you'd have to REALLY want all of, to consider it a deal.

Can someone report him for fraud? Granted, he does say they are stickers....but the tg cards don't have stickered labels. The labels are printed directly on the plastic.
So if he's selling a sticker, it has to be fake. And if it's not fake, it's not a sticker (and hence mis-representation).
Catch-22.
-
He's not selling a game label/sticker, he's selling a price or some other form of sticker that was thrown on by a store/retailer at some point.

This is an obvious response to him getting ragged on lately. I know a couple folks here were messing with him last week. He's crazy defensive.

I have to admit, coming from anyone else it would be pretty funny. But in his case, since he was advertising games for sale as "complete" when they were not, this just makes him look worse from certain perspectives.

What makes it bad for me is this:
Be aware that I know nothing about these and I don't know if it works because I have nothing to hook it up to. I was told it works by my friend who had it in his TV room for decades but it was sitting a long time and I can't guarantee it so you are buying it as is
You have nothing to hook it up to to test it? It includes everything needed to test it and you're telling us you don't have a capable TV? Fishy
-

I agree it sounds awfully fishy, but it is possible that he has nothing to test it on, as some new LCDs lack composite (component and hdmi only).

Two arcade sticks? #-o I wonder if he tested them in the system?
I once bought a Sega Genesis with a bunch of games and accessories from some dude on Craigslist. When I got to his place, I saw that he had two wireless Playstation controllers and a base in the box of stuff. I told him that they didn't belong to the Sega but he insisted that he had played it with them and refused to let me leave them behind. I tried to show him how there was no way to plug it in. He said something to the effect of, "I don't know what to tell you. I've used these to play it and I know they work." He absolutely would not take no for an answer.
I still have them. They're "Docs" brand and no, to this day, they still don't fit the Genesis.

Better jump on it it's a super rare Japanese copy...
Let him live with the shame, don't message him..

This one made me laugh. He found it wasn't packaged with English instructions. That's because it clearly states (in French) there are "Instruction in French Inside" the box. Typically the French instructions are just throw in with the English ones, but this one actually has a sticker. It's a bit odd, but clearly this is a French Only copy.

What is more amusing, is that eBay describes Bonk 3 under tech details as a "3D hunting" game series entry.

Possibly sealed, possibly used 4-in-1 disc. Described as Beyond Shadowgate. Comes with disc, case, manual and artwork insert, also described as coming none of that. Add in some more contradictive descriptions and minimum bid is only $90

Whatever is actually being sold, the seller is trying to convince true collectors to buy what at first looks like a new/sealed game. But going by the photo and messed up listing, it looks like it is very incomplete and is missing the 3 manuals (not counting the rest of the TurboDuo contents/packaging). Some ignorant sealed collector will likely buy this and feel very proud to have it sit on a shelf.

i assume your being sarcastic. but yeahhhh fighting street came in a retail box. it is possible that this is new but it would be way to easy to repackage.

Was it ever a pack-in, sans box? Not that I ever recall, anyway.

yes sarcasm for sure - even if it was new the price tag is ridiculous! do people actually think they can get these types of prices?
-
Was it ever a pack-in, sans box? Not that I ever recall, anyway.
No. I asked him where the box was. Hehe.
THE ANSWER LOL!
Dear mediaencyclopedia,
How can this verified as a new unused item? It seems to be missing its original sealed retail box.
Dear ebayer,
I can verify this is truly factory sealed. It was removed from its original box, but it still has factory sealed cellophane on it. I actually purchased this in myself along with alot of other factory sealed merchandise. It came from a collector, so its definitely all legitimate.
- mediaencyclopedia
AND IT CONTINUES: (after I pointed out that this game never came like that to anyone's knowledge over the last 2 decades)
I had a customer come in with a box of super collectibles into my store. Many were factory sealed, others in pristine condition. We do see factory sealed resold to us from time to time, its rare but it does happen. This game came with that lot, and was sealed in cellophane. It isn't folded edges or a horizontal seam, but its also not indicitive of a typical reshrink job either. I may pull the item to re-investigate, but it appears to be unopened and untampered with. I have seen quite a few sealed games inside a larger box, like the Turbo Duo 3 in 1 that was a packin with the system, or 3DO did this quite a bit. We just don't see much TG16 or TGCD stuff, so you very well may be right.
-
At least it's a benny less than their rare sealed Street Fighter II (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Grafx-16-Street-Fighter-II-Champion-Edition-RARE-NTSC-J-NEW-Sealed-42744-/300941942940?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item461189a09c). :lol:

Quite possibly the least knowledgeable answer ever. I would pay good money just to find out how much he paid for "a lot of other factory sealed merchandise". I'm laughing now, but an actual $$$ amount would cause physical tears of joy. :D

I am wondering if games actually left factory with jewel case sealed inside sealed box.
I am not saying it is impossible, but I never encountered it back in the day. I purchased from mom-n-pop as well as chain retailers.
As you folks know, EB had a policy of putting out boxes only (by neatly slicing box seal along box flap...but I can see some stores taking the extra step of SEALING the now-naked jewel box to insure the integrity of the contents...)
Of course, I never talked to an employee from EB to corroborate any of my silly ideas...do you folks know of any interviews with retail employees who talked about the silly stuff they had to do to reduce theft/loss?

Make sense. I use to work at Radio Scrap and we did the same thing. I don't remember TG-16 games, but we definitely did with NES and SEGA. Damn kids would steal the games on us. Jokes on them as all they got was the case and the game was in the back room. We use to bring them over to Staples (Business Depot) and have them reseal them for us. We did this with PC games as well.

Indeed. It's rather disgusting to see Turbobs parted out like that, especially when the labels ended up being so beat up and essentially worthless garbage.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-Guide-PC-Engine-Spriggan-Sapphire-Magical-Chase-Galaga-88-Dracula-X-usw-/261536648481?pt=DE_PC_Videospiele&hash=item3ce4cc8d21
Just found this on Amazon.de:
http://www.amazon.de/VINTAGE-GAMES-Nr-1-Video-Spiele-Sammler-Fans/dp/3000443983
The two 5 and 4 star reviews on Amazon look like they're fake.
The game descriptions seen on the screenshots are as short as they can get and don't say much about the game, while there are more pics and game stats that cover the pages. It lacks an ISBN. The seller claims there was a print run of 500 books.
My opinion: I don't want it. Not even as a gift.

Do they have FedEx Kinkos over there? :lol:

Not sure if this is bad or gouging.. or a bit of both.

I found it amusing that he is selling manuals and loose cards alongside the lot of butchered labels. I am surprised to not see the manual pages and staples separated out and listed individually as well. Maximize those monies! :D
So... what you're saying is that the next time I get a manual with rusty staples, that I should save them to sale on the bays when I swap them out for new, shiney staples? Instead of discarding them like common trash? lol
Also, who else does this? Ya know, swapping out staples? Is it just me? Am I crazy?

I just don't like the idea of having to be careful and avoid gross rust dust and what-have-you every time I open an old manual. So, yeah. Also, maybe wrecks the paper and by that I mean totally probably, yes. Maybe.

That's cool, but you should totally understand that by removing them in the first place you've made the labels pretty much worthless.

Long post to make amends... :)
I grew up in Bloomfield (next to Newark) and love NJ/NY. I moved out to LA/Long Beach California area for grad school...ended up staying a lot longer (9 years) before moving back to NJ.
I briefly worked at a corporate park in Mount Olive/Budd Lake...it must have been just off of RT 80 (I'll have to look at a map) and ...I am pretty sure Chester wasn't too far away.
Ha! I'll figure it out. Now I'm curious exactly where it was :)
-------
Anyway...those poor, shriveled, desiccated, brittle labels...I honestly thought that you "harvested" them with the intent to squeeze every penny possible out of corpses.
It seemed so absurd, and so desperate.
Now, if you made some artwork with those labels...simply framing them, for example, I'd think it was actually kool. In fact, the fact that the labels are so distressed and abused makes them intriguing aesthetically.
My dad, who was a "connoisseur" (actually, just a fancy alcoholic), would soak labels off of bottles and dry them out (for record-keeping). I thought the wrinkled labels were fascinating. And disturbing (akin to wrinkled, dry skin).
I guess I like the creepy element of deterioration.
Unfortunately, now I am concerned that you are skinning helpless video games.
Even worse, I'm the one who would make grotesque "trophies" with the skin.

Sorry pal, but if this is true, then it is irrational. I'm sure it would have been so much easier to sell the cases with the labels still attached, instead of seperating them apart.
And I'm right, since you tell us that you have bought them from another seller.
-
Ouch those poor labels.... I think I saw a post about these in the Facebook group as well.. . I once came across some cases I didn't need as well... But I left them on the cases before I decided to trade them... Better luck next time sir

Oh well, thanks nullity for enlightening me.

Exactly. Even if they are worth something to some poor misguided soul somewhere, they sure as shit don't qualify for a 'good condition' description.

Not really that bad of an auction, but this poor duo had somebody rip its cd door off and replace it with cardboard. :)

Should have saved the door, the magnet right inside the door would have helped play CD better than a tape on that spindle. Tape will only add some gunk and sticky dust that over time can seize up spindle and burn the motor.
-
I dindt think about the magnet. Hopefully someone that has a dead PCE duo can pick it up for cheap and swap the cd door to get it back to health again. If it broke on the cd door side it would be an easy swap.
-
Or swap the motherboard and/or CD drive. It's probably easier than removing and reinstalling the door.

Well it is a one of a kind cardboard door duo
"This is an item I did not want to sell because of how RARE it is."
I think it does have the magnet sitting on top of the cd from looking at it again. it actually wouldn't work otherwise.
Im just thinking someone could possibly get it cheap and fix up the case with bad pce duo and have a cheap turbo duo. just not sure where the door is broken off. maybe ill send a message to the seller. if the part on the console where the door screws in broke off then its defiantly not worth it.

Beyond terrible. 100 pesos maybe. $100 no. Better off donating it to Keith Courage as his plaything :)

That "TRULY Complete" TurboDuo is missing the outer sleeve, stretch wrap, Ninja Spirit manual, Ys I & II in white case with manual, GoT 4-in-1 in white case with 3 manuals and it looks like Ninja Spirit is missing the HuCard sleeve.
Why agressively advertise how you have the only completely complete Duo when it's only 35% complete?

I suspect it has never been recapped and seller may not be aware that his system is slowly rotting away from inside. Unless it gets recapped, the buyer will end up filing claim for non-working system and seller would have to eat return shipping and the $90 in eBay listing fee and hopefully buyer didn't screw things up like misplace game manual or repack the lot poorly allowing Duo box to arrive badly damaged.

Seller responded to my question about sound output and recap:
No, sound is working perfectly. This is collector's item, so messing with it internally would be a bad idea at this point. Unless the sound went out. Thanks anyway.
Guess it's never been opened so he has no idea if the caps are leaking somewhere already.
-
i have seen quite a few consoles that still work fine with the original caps. every console needs to have them be replaced though as they will stop working at some point. its perfectly believable that the console is working at the moment.

That is so amusing he refuses to mess with the inside because it's a collectors item yet the outside is a wreck lol.

I have heard that if you something more regularly then the caps will hold out longer because they're being used. Is this true or the reverse?

Not sure if which if either is true. Could also have something to do with the climate the console was stored in.

It's rare that someone list a true rare game as auction style and not a BIN with impossibly high price. Unfortunately it is not CIB or even with case.
It is up at over $2000 which is quite high and already out of my range. Guess I'll stick with my $80 TED for a few years longer.

I've been following that Magical Chase auction. I find it interesting that it is listed as an actual auction instead of a buy it now. I am going to be curious to see it is ends legitimately, or if a bunch of people just place troll bids to drive the price up even further and it ends up having to be relisted, or sold somewhere else.

Even if it had a new front shell, sparky label, and nicely printed insert it wouldn't be worth $25. Bastards!

Wow, I just can't believe there is a market for this stuff. This obviously is something anyone with a printer, or near a office printing place, can do for 1/100th of that price themselves with 30 minutes of time. Someone has to be supporting this for it to be up there for sale, if no one were buying no one would be selling. Crasee fools

I think someone from here auctioned theirs off and it went $2,500 - give or take - HuCARD + manual?

I guess that after it got bid up high enough, they took out the additional pic of the cardboard box, so that bidders couldn't claim they were mislead. It looked like a stock photo, but not too obvious of one that it wouldn't have fooled the gotta-have-it-nows. When it was the last or second to last pic in the gallery showing what's included, it's even more misleading than all of those BIN listings for loose dirty carts with no photo other than the box... which the description says in small print somewhere far down the page, is not included.

He did the same thing with a bunch of NES and SNES rares. Its an obvious scam, I've seen it happen many times now!
-
I'd assume so. Immediate payment required but he won't ship until the 15th, hoping he'll get ten days to empty his paypal account before anyone files.
-
The auctions aren't up anymore so I can't check the seller. If the seller is new, he can't take anything out of Paypal account until after the delivery confirmation or positive feedback from buyers. But if it was older account that can remove money anytime, Paypal will send collection agencies after him. Odds are Paypal also has the account owner's social security (required for tax) and if someone tries to scam and flee, he'd need to fly to another country that aren't uptight about scam like Mexico or China.

Any collector who can afford the game won't care about the price. Making it complete by adding the $50 jewel case will increase the game's value by another couple thousand dollars.

In what world is $30 for a case not a gouge?

meh.. :-k...in some years, good guy ebay resseller

collect them all and you get yourself a box ! all this will also be combined with a juicy fat price !

I loved this gem from the listing:
Note: If you're waiting for me to drop price over time on this item it isn't going to happen. So it's buy it now, or never.
Looks like the seller ended up dropping the price after all. :^o

That happened to me before too. The guy had multiples off the same item and previously had not sold one for as high as his current price. I asked him to sell me one at the highest price he had sold one for in the past and he said no and raised the price.

Apparently a copy of the bootleg of Space Fantasy Zone was sold for 92€ plus shipping costs. I wonder whether the buyer was aware of what it is...

If they don't know what it is, why would they buy it? It's not like it's a candy bar impulse buy in the checkout lane.

While normally I would agree with you, I still think it's crazy to buy a bootleg copy of a prototype for more than 100€. I still think the buyer think he is buy something "real" and "original"...
-
There's no shortage of idiots out there, so it's entirely possible, but I can't imagine any intelligent person that'd be willing to shell out such cash without knowing what it is or bothering to consult google.
If they're surprised that it's a bootie, imagine their chagrin when they find out it's a CDR. :lol:

wasnt it SAZ and bonk 3CD that sold for $50 each? i didnt think it was a dynastic.
those were before the $150 DH.

A quick search for it the other day turned up many threads talking about the $50 Dynastic Hero eBay listing I'm talking about, but I didn't have time to narrow down the exact post with the initial link. At least three copies sold realitively "cheap" (only <$150!) within one year.
Dark Kobold made a big deal about how occasional low end one-offs can't be factored into a buyer's perception, but the occasional fake sales going for ten times the perceived average tells non-fipper buyers the true value of games.
I believe that at the time, eBay flippers were already asking $400 - $800 for DH.

Yeah, because, like galam just did, it gets bought and flipped immediately for profit. Also, way to exaggerate and make false claims, i.e. "10x" & "fake sales." Also, I'm still waiting to see what happens to those 20 or so duplicate games you bought from syphic 6 months ago. Aside from the Beyond Shadowgate, they all seemed to disappear, despite you claiming you were going to offer raffles and forum deals...
Interesting...

Necro and I were talking about this. It appears to be the fan version so it would have been one of those with a white case and notched spots in the sleeve to hold it in place so it's really weird.

Not worth $225 without the dirt. Chances are that sticker is covering up damage.
-
Yep, was watching that but it's too much. $100 in cleaning supplies and there's no guarantee the control pad rubbers have rotted away. The Duo would also need recap and probably a whole new laser and spindle assembly, the old one likely got rusted and warped and can't be salvaged.
If I was going to make a CD-less Duo it'd have to be for a lot less than the current bid amount.

The idiot who won bid three times at the end and the end price is only the max of the second biggest idiot. So who knows how much they were willing to pay for a pile of dirty incomplete untested Turbo items. Maybe they all thought that it comes with two System 3.1 cards that they plan to flip for $300 each?
The winner also has a feedback score of over 8 thousand.
This deserves to be in the dumb buyers thread.

I need to do something like this. Show off something I have that no one else can have or is very rare, and set it at a price so high only fools would consider buying. If it doesn't sell, I'd know how many people are envious by how many watchers and views. If it sells, I'll sell it and wait for another to come up for less to buy and keep extra cash. :dance:

This must be a joke.
The poor shirt is so ugly, I feel sorry for the poor bastard.

Anything is possible with Kanye. I bet they be real.
-
Is it wrong that I love those shirts?
If they were $20, I would purchase.
Someone with shirt making skills needs to make this happen.

Bootleg Kanye Turbo shirts? I'm intrigued. lol

Sold auctions indicate that at least two people also loved the shirt.

It certainly is! Ever since he made his TurboGrafx announcement, I have been hording copies of Keith Courage. I just know it is going to be the next $100+ title. I have over 100 copies now. Yup, it's gonna go up in value...any day now...just waiting...

There's a store near me that has a 5 loose copies of Kieth Courage that it hasn't sold for years for $5. I went in recently and they upped the price to $20. I asked why, and they said "Turbo Grafx games are very popular these days." There were still 5 copies.
They weren't selling at $5, but maybe they'll sell at $20!? Good luck, store!

How can you possibly argue with that kind of logic?

No, I am fascinated with them, too (and I don't know anything about Kanye...not a single song).
I think my utter ignorance of Kanye has made this shirt far more intriguing than it ought to be.

I went on a road trip last weekend and this song came on the radio repeatedly. You are now current and cool to your kids.

But I am sure my curiosity will win. :)

Yeah, I have heard stuff like that. Also Store owners talking how they have many TG16 games in the back but in no hurry to sell them as they put it the price just keeps going up the longer they don't sell.

The store local to me is known to do that occasionally sometimes too. I guess the owner is a collector too so I'm not sure if they're going into his personal library or he's just waiting for prices to rise though.

There was a store near me a Demon's souls Deluxe Edition that was quite beat up. Marked around $30-40 originally iirc. Sat there forever. At some point the price was raised to $90 and it sold. I will never understand people.
A more recent example is an anime set I've been following on Ebay. Originally listed at $60 it received no bids and I was hoping it would be relisted for less. Well since it didn't sell logically it must be worth more money and the guy has now been listing it for $75 the last several times. Of course it's not selling, but why lower the price? ](*,)
-
If you have the time to sit on something, all it takes is one overly anxious person who wants it now. Of course, if you're running a business, it seems that volume would make you more money in the long run.

Not turbo but seems even power sellers think it's ok to sell bootleg GBA games without mentioning the fact https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381633706573

I pretty much refuse to buy loose GBA games at any premium anymore. I'm pretty good at sussing out the boots but they're like everywhere now.
There is another local gaming store that sells them too and doesn't even mention it. I went to that place once and then was like NOPE, never going back.

Was it pretty obvious that it was intentional? I try to give stores the benefit of the doubt and point out when they have bootlegs of something.

Well I sent a message 2 days ago now asking if they had any real ones because they are bootlegs and got no reply and the item is still for sale.

Oh that was more of a question for element. I assume most people selling booties on Ebay are :evil:
-
Yeah, the local guy had to have known they were boots. He had some Pokemon hacks for sale, then loose copies of Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Metroid Fusion among others as well that to a trained eye like mine were visibly bootlegs. He had to have known, I'm sure he bought a bundle direct from Aliexpress for optimum flipping.
-
Sounds pretty scummy. Usually it's just a couple random boots if any that I see at the stores here, so I figure a gullible employee got tricked. Only one store here actually throws out boots when I point them out (they also don't often have any, but sometimes anime slips in). Unsurprisingly it's the store I support the most here by far.
