Yes that it why I made the changes.

If I were trying to gouge people I never would have made the changes.

I know! It would work well, but when a spelling error literally ruins the punch line....jeez, what a waste. Completely wasted opportunity.

If you don't know what something is worth, so you just ask some crazy price several times what you've seen it sell for, then you are gouging.

If someone had BIN'ed it at $850, would you have issued a refund of $450 - $600 the next day?

Would you? A tough call for anyone I would imagine.

That's besides the point. Point is, I made some changes after I realized I wasn't being fair. I think a little grace should be extended right?

What is the going price for a boxed TG-16 now?  I paid like 130 for mine a few years back.

This has to be some game journalist trolling us for research or maybe Nintega is back. I don't know. $850 for f*cking TG-16 is...it seems impossible that even the most perfectly mint TG-16 in the universe would even be worth 1/4 of that. A decent TG-16 is $50-80. The other $800 comes from...his ass?

I did buy the customized labels from Sparky.

Yes you did, and for $19 bucks you tried to cut a deal if you made mention of them on your YouTube channel ( which I declined)  then asked if I could add a couple extra labels in, which I did as I had some misfits. Then I saw this giving post. It's better now and you get it now but holy f@ck $$ eyes.

Thank you Sparky for adding those extra labels. I asked if you would do it for free for publicity as the YT channel has over 7,000 subscribers and I thought that was reasonable. That happens all the time in business. You gracefully declined and I still bought from you because it was a great product.

I'm sorry that I've rubbed you all the wrong way. I made a bad judgment call listing this extremely high and then I changed it when I realized I was out of line.

I really want to ask forgiveness from this community because I love Turbo games and the retrogaming community at large. I've been collecting since I was a kid, with my father who is now passed away. I feel like it's in my blood and a part of me.

There's a lot of dog piling going on right now and if you're all willing, I think you'll realize I'm a pretty nice guy.

I've been in the community for YEARS. Back in 2001 I was the webmaster at SegaMasterSystem.com, I was only 15 years old, but I helped build a community of Master System fans.

My Dad and I shopped from Turbo Zone Direct all the time back in the 90s and that is why I have so many rares and extra stuff.

Again, I apologize for coming off like a $$$ hungry gouger. I have lowered the price... it was never my intention to cheat anyone. That's why I listened and reacted.
