Just... Bad, Turbo Ebay Auctions (Not Gouging)

[Black Tiger]

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.

Not the worse auction, but I found it amusing.

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

As of lately I been looking to buy most of the games I had to sell not long ago and ebay prices just seem to jump up out of nowhere, especially for loose stuff.

Couldn't this seller have stood at edge of his bed to take the photo or at least used the crop tool?

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.

That's not a bad auction. That's an awesome auction for a very rare version of the PCE. See http://nfggames.com/games/vistar

Seller must have fixed the listing... Originally, the photograph was of a Sega Saturn with Samsung branding.. it actually had the logo "SamsungSaturn".

Gotcha. The auction was ended early. The seller also removed the photos except for a closeup of the DC power port, so we can't even tell what the actual item was anymore :/

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.
