[Black Tiger]

At the bottom of the description, eBay showed a bunch "more like this" that are cheaper.

How is a BIN of $3500 for $3600 of crap "an amazingly priced bulk lot!", unless he is trolling?

Same seller received negative feedback for this and then made a new account.

I love the $2.83 for shipping.

These people just need to stop.... And couldn't be bothered to put a decent label on the case

That Turbolot is sketchy city, but the last Bonk 3 CIB sold at $900 open auction (pretty Minty) and Soldier Blade sold at $700 in about 11 minutes.  Considering that is $1600 right there, $2k doesn't seem like a stretch for the rest of the lot?

Way higher than I'd pay personally but I bet someone would bite at the opening bid.

Soldier Blade is not legitimately selling for $700. Shill bidding and scams, sure.

But not legit.

its all shills and fake "sales" and people fall for it all the time.  leaves us in the shit state the whole hobby has become.

Just going by the number of unpaid item claims I file per week selling lately, I would say most of the sold listings go unpaid.

[jonebone]

I know everyone here is pessimistic, but believe it or not, yes I bet that listing is legit.  Soldier Blade is in a legitimate spike right now, case + manual are going for $350 or so and adding box probably puts it around $500-$600 at least.  When things are in a drought people panic and prices explode, that's how it goes.

I sell a couple hundred items on eBay a year and I may get one or two non-payers.  A few bad apples is not the norm, despite the commentary here.

I paid $85 for Soldier Blade this year fully complete. I don't even think it was an amazing price either.

It is a Japanese copy of course.

And another copy sold in a lot with 10 other boxed games, KC, and a system for ~$900.  Don't look at the highest price you can find to determine value.

Thank the n00b collectors that just assume it's all worth that.  All the damn late to the party people that never had a TG16.
