ebay (and other) auctions with insane prices

Etrian · Post by **Etrian** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:47 am

Haha.. that guy has been trying to sell that for over a year. Poor thing.

Nice package though! But.. something tells me you could probably get all those cheaper.. it's just kinda time consuming to pick them up individually.

Ed Oscuro · Post by **Ed Oscuro** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:48 am

Doubtful. If nothing else, that's a whole hell of a lot of money to put down at once, and that price averages out to $166 - I guess there's games in there "worth" (to somebody) more than that but the question is: how many.

And whatever happened to buying just stuff you want when you want it? Instant collection buys are generally overrated (unless they come at thrift store prices).

(if it was a good price the lot would already be gone, that's the general rule of eBay, of course there's always exceptions)

That's almost twice what I paid for a COMPLETE copy shipped from Japan. Hell, the only doc it has is the manual.

Ed Oscuro · Post by **Ed Oscuro** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 5:13 am

Likewise.

Did you ever see the guy (somebody selling in Euros) asking for something outrageous like the equivalent of $400 USD for a copy? That was a while ago.

(Sorry guys, I forgot to post in this thread before!

)

$88.00 for this Ibara figure:

Nearly $100 for this Mushi figure: Shocked

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=023

What the hell man, this guy's making an absolute killing. The real madness is that someone actually bought these.

EDIT: Just realise this is the same seller as Svens post above! WTF is the insertion fee on an $18,000 figure?

NO! NO!
don't click on the link.
Seal games are fucking worthless. The box does not fit in the console proper… how the fuck are you going to play the game? Fucking graphics whores are better than people who stare at seal games

Yeah, please don't link to that sealed game auction site in this thread again.

I realize that you are a little daft Denvan, but it should have been a hint that every single one of your spam threads about your sealed brains forum / sealed brains auction site was locked.

christ you guys are pathetic throwing your hissy fits over every sealed game that shows up.. how the hell do you manage to get so upset over and over (and over!) again over the same mundane shit???

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:03 pm

lets all agree to not tlak about it anymore the more we talk about it the more we encourage this sort of behaviour. FYI! I sending out some limited edition shirts and even though there individualy numbred they are NOT Sealed. infact I openly encourage you to wear them and slop your runny egg all over them as there main pourpose is to be worn and seen

ovbiousley not with runny egg spilt on it. fuck sake put it in the wash you mucky bastard.

over 10 in stock

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 6:28 pm

that gradious make perfect sense at that price.I can see how he got the price heres a simple sum on how to work out the price of a game.

Shmup + Sealed x current hype *devided by* console platform + good condition x ebay + US game inside the EU country = US $389,90
(dont forget to carry the one)
you also have to equate for if it exists in an online arcade ( XBL PSN) nut even then its only - 3USD

If it was for the Sega saturn it would of of been worth fuck all. Wait thats wrong if it was a JP saturn game it would of been worth not a lot, US iy would of been hitting about 40 bucks more.

Indeed! People should be laughing and saying: "Oh, that again, LOL." Or something like that. Come on, I found it funny...

Holy mega shit about Gradius V. How much one could expect to pay for a used US or a japanese copy of Gradius V?

KindGrind · Post by **KindGrind** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 12:21 am

Well, I'm currently selling one in the trading section for 20$ shipped (US). The JPN one fetches a little higher. What's retarded about what was linked before is the fact that a lot of them (sealed ones) are on sale atm at about 50-60$, so that one makes no sense.

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 5:48 am

that rock man world is pretty hard to gauge becuase there is no others on ebay. That and I know that some of the MD games can be a bit pricey.

went looking for snow brothers for the MD as I know thats about the same price maybe more than rockman world and found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/NES-Brand-New-Facto ... 1|294%3A50

it is teh sealed majicks tho!!!
lol i think thats the first time ive seen someone describe a game as MEGA scarce. I know the word rare is played out but scarce?

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:55 am

i have a sealed Ibara somewhere, would that fetch sillymoney on ebay you think? (i just havent bothered opening it since i have the PCBs, dunno why i bought it tbh).

it comes with the extra booklet too, maybe i should throw it on ebay?

Udderdude · Post by **Udderdude** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 12:01 pm

Factory Sealed in it's original box with the official horizontal seam line in middle back

Wow, what would I do without that amazing horizontal seam .. my life seems so empty without it :p

I assume it's the storefront for a game rating website I saw earlier. I'm sure someone out there wants a sealed copy of "Panel Action Bingo" or..."Rise of the Robots".

And when it was thought that it couldn't possible get worse…

What is worse than seal games? Graded seal games…

What a fucking crock of bullshit. These graded games make the sealed gamers haven look like angels. I cannot even fathom the point of graded GAMES! games are meant to be played. May as well start collecting graded CDs, DVDs and shit. Fuck it I will start a grading business to grade shit like refrigerators and television set…

totally not getting the sealed Herzog Zwei for 200.

That game was some great stuff, I have a heavily abused/used copy here that I wouln't let go for for $200. Lots of memories.

My question is, when you buy these "graded" unopened games from 20 years ago, do you open them to prove the contents are legit and void the "unsealed" value...????!!!!

link kept breaking post, so I removed it
