Lovely RSG auction...

Whaaaaa? Note to self: if I start an Ebay auction I will make sure to HAVE THE ITEM before I try to sell it. And charge less than 5-600% the going rate.

He must think that all american otakus are nothing but stoopid crackheads who'd pay through the nose for any genuine japanese paraphernalia.

Maybe if a few of us write in and tell him how ridiculous his price/shipping is he'll realize people aren't complete idiots and change his prices.

edit: Looked at his other auctions...I can't believe he manages to sell anything.

Well I guess his strategy is to list stuff at insane prices, then just hope that some rich fool stumbles accross his auction and buys it... But seriously that price is really pushing his luck, that game is not so rare that it would not be possible to find it easily much cheaper.

He's not selling it for $999.99 - that's to stop people bidding. He's saying if you contact him he'll get an RSG and list it on eBay for you as a private auction - it's advertising basically.

And a shameless plug for the stuff I'm selling on eBay, if you're into that sort of thing.
