Radiant Silvergun for 500 $ .


http://cgi.ebay.com/Radiant-Silvergun-S ... 4199QQcmdZ


To his credit though , it is his own personal copy , that is why the price is so high :lol:


But wait ... he's got another one :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0417442572

Also his own personal copy :shock:

But if you feel like paying him $499.95 he will be happy to accept the extra payment. :idea:

:lol: :lol:

im so glad im out of that phase where everything has to be perfect. If a kit falls in my lap I take it but I dont go looking for that shit. That said I am a whore for posters. I argue that I could pay a lot more for art which blends in to the background but a poster of a game I adore (framed) will make me happy every time I walk past it. :P

How about I work 8 hours for him and he sends me both copies (check the description about working), but I only want them if they are his personal copies. I do not want the original.

that one way to not pay the rent. Did you ever think while he was telling lies about not seeing them other girls he would not have any problem pricing up that game? Congratualtions you are have suscessfully priced that game about 900% over what someone would ormally pay for it.

also this is the first item this person has ever sold. me thinks it could be a fake listing or a hacked account :lol:

EDIT: ok when i read that i thought it was A BIN. But i cant belive its reached that price already :shock: fucking hell

yeah you know the little peel away strip does that not need to have the PS logo embedded in to it to be an official product? If so thats a pretty good job on the reseal otherwise.

fucking hell 4K on a sealed game?! thats gotta be some kind of record considering its not that rare

on another note. I dont see why these people would think that someone would drop 4K on a ebay listing with one one pic (a shit pic at that) and the minimum amount of info in the listing.

"Buy now to avoid disappointment."

LOL

Yeah, because nothing spells "disappointment" like getting outbid on an overpriced game. (That can be found elsewhere for cheap, or downloaded off the PSN store.)

Auctions with crazy prices are only interesting if somebody actually paid that price.

http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w47851669 - Akumajou Dracula demo disk.

I had thought of bidding maybe 3000 yen for this when I first saw it. I wonder how much my Mr Do. demo disk is worth? Probably 100 yen.

Expensive, but could be worse. Depending on how many of these are floating around, it might be semi-reasonable, even. :mrgreen:

Idiots. Fucking imbeciles. HEY WOW COOL SHIT GAME U GOT THERE. I thought the $13K auction was a disgrace.

Props to the seller if the buyer actually ponies up the dough. That's like, what, 1/4 of a Tesla roadster (or 30+ monthly rentals).

----

In other news, I noticed that somebody wanted to buy a Neo Geo AES, so I offered mine. Wow. First off I didn't realize mine was one of the "low serial" (65K) units; secondly I didn't know how much they go for. I'm tempted to do it and get a minty Japanese one later, using the cash now (I needs), but wow.

Edit:

$100,000-plus?!

That better be a joke bid. Humanity as a whole is doomed if it isn't.
