Not sure if this has been talked about before, but I've noticed this eBay listing a few times. This guy is asking so much, yet completely vague in description and images of the items he's selling.

Is he serious?

I have seen listings like these for a few years. It may be a lot of goodies but it only adds to the madness.

Better investment than real estate, I'd say.

How would you even pay $65k, put it on your credit card?

Actually, yes. I knew A guy who bought a $150,000 house on his credit card once. Short-term, until the real financing came through.

This whole retro gaming boom is great and all but this needs to stop! Someone with a YT account and a lot of subscribers should make a vid concerning the situation. Bucci and Starsoldier1 come to mind.

I love my hobby and all my friends that I have made because of it. This will always part of my life, but watching something I love get treated with disrespect and greed brings, as the Angry Video Game Nerd would say, "My piss to a boil."

I have something special in the works, but it requires a certain amount of time to complete. :)

I was always meaning to comment on your post, but I just got lazy for some reason. Sorry ha ha! :) Basically, I am all for it! :) We really need to get the word out. If you do a vid, then the next guy does his/her own vid, and so on. I am hoping for a snowball effect to where gougers won't want to deal with the growing number of real gamers that have been educated with the truth. Not likely, but still. These are games for f*ck sakes. Not vintage autos! That $100 Salamander just flipped a switch in me and now I am on a crusade to enact change. I just wish I had a decent camera...

I like sendin those sellers questions.  For example, I have asked "Are you insane?" and I have said things like, "Enjoy hanging on to your over-priced shit." I send random stuff to those f*ckin morons.  Its insane.  What happened to the legit "AUCTIONS"?  I start all my stuff at .99 when I list on ebay.  That way, the buyer determines what he/she feels itw worth.  Very rarely would I list something as a buy it now, unless its reasonable.
