ebay (and other) auctions with insane prices

[BIL]

LOL. That thing must be like the GC's Eyeful Home.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

First of all, I know there is another seller on eBay claiming he knows for "pure fact" that his copy is the best in the world. Well, I call BS on that because MINE is VGA graded to be a 90.

So let it be known, this is the best KNOWN and GRADED copy in the world.

The best copy in the world... of a shitty basketball game nobody cares about. For fuck's sake.

BUT RARE VIDEOGAMES MUS B PREZERVED

Funny thing is, those acrylic cases have a seam to allow airflow. So nothing is actually being "preserved" in the first place, oxidisation will at some point occur and nobody will have been able to play or backup the disc in the meantime. :/ It's truly a moron-ensaring scheme at every possible level. Despicable genius in action.

In the spirit of the VGA's mercilessly targeting the deranged, once I get some capital, I'm going to open an aficionado-focused nutsack battering firm. There are men out there who genuinely enjoy having their genitals violently battered, and I will take their money in exchange for the services of a squad of highly specialised and sexy martial artists (both genders) who know just how to inflict maximum pain and visible injury, yet with minimal permanent damage. Think "balsamic vinaigrette peel." I'll even throw in an offer of having your bruised genitalia graded with photographic and medically-certified evidence. You'll be able to boast of having the world's most finely tormented scrotum, forget those barbarians who just get random hookers to take a steel-toed boot to their plums.

Someone cared enough to blow $2.5k on it. Someone retarded, that is. Probably writes MLP fanfics and masturbates with loaded weaponry.

So brutal.

[BIL]

Yeah, despite the crazy self-insert fanfic antics I don't think Edmond is anywhere near bad enough to buy VGA.

Now about my scheme... gentlemen, just imagine. A vigorous fibreglass buffing session followed by a jalapeno extract rubdown, before an hour of world-class speedbag work. I know you're out there and given this site's genre namesake, undoubtedly a few are registered here. Perhaps you are even an elite scorer who knows the most exquisite torment of an Asteroids WR attempt! ("unnngh!" *flush*)

Beat the waiting list and reserve now. It's still less retarded than buying VGA. ^_~

Also saw a Millenium Falcon "sealed and graded" the same way twats grade sealed games go for 12K.

[idchappy]

HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THIS FUCKING DUMB?!!

[undamned]

Some bidders seem to think this Makaimura toy set is worth over $400, and there are still 2 days left

It is pretty fucking awesome though, you gotta admit. Like Makaimura nendos.

[cicada88]

I looked at some of the linked auctions in the past couple of pages and here are 2 quotes that killed me:

"Very,very RARE FIND: we got only 2 of them and one already been sold to a collector in Swizzerland."

(LOL, they only have 2 full cases of sealed Lunars....super rare indeed)


the other was for the sealed/VGA graded Genesis Musha

"how does this even exist?"

[drauch]

Makes me wonder: when are they gonna release a new Arthur or anything related figure?

I'd like to have boxers Aurthur, with a Prin Prin figure. Greatest opening in a video game, IMHO.

Local twat. So good. I actually saw this abortion in person. Like a 17" LCD screen with a poorly cut cardboard bezel. You could buy about any cabinet you wanted, or a couple of candy cabs, or even a good pinball machine for this bad boy.

The game has a new monitor and converter board which makes the picture look great

oh really now

Ended at $6.50. Gaaaaaaaaaah!
These things are probably the best option to get a great picture out of the original xbox. I have one and it's excellent, better than the component HD cables. Someone got a great deal...

[Fudoh]

I have one and it's excellent, better than the component HD cables.

it's actually 100% the same. The Neoya is just a trancoder that takes component from the XBox and trancodes it to VGA. It's a great solution though. Unfortunately these days VGA gets rare on new TV sets and component to HDMI is pretty cheap to accomplish, while VGA to HDMI is much more complicated.

[Friendly]

Heh, I was just about to ask how it is supposed to be better than component

[opt2not]

Oh snap. Didnt know that! Shmups forum makes me smart.

Actually I must have some shitty component cables then, because when I compare the two the X2VGA looks much better.

[Dave_K.]

Really now?

http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f134849861

At least its an original JPN board, and not a Korean rom swap that seem to pop up.
