    Starting price ?1000 ! What a frickin idiot !

    You see these people sometimes at car boot sales, thinking as its old its worth tons, and yeah the Sun didnt help going on about what could be worth a lot in the future. What an idiot though

    @All

    Guys, I have just realized that if the 128 +2 is worth ?1000 I can retire on my collection!!!!

    whooohoo.... see you spectrazoidz in the Bahamas - I'l get the Bahama Ruma Moma's!!!



    Just don't let on to everyone else about the "eBay Completed Listings Search", that might put a clamp on my retirement plans

    I asked "I hope you are having a laff... 1,000, you're taking the p*ss?"

    He replied, "you never know lol"

    He didn't make it public though.. heh
    So far, so meh :)

    They'll get more bids if they put the words R@RE surely ?
    Features, unique scratch that no other +2 has in that mm of space ?

    It's worse than that - it's ONLY the games he's selling:
    "box full of games for sale only not the video game system itself."

    So no Speccy, let alone PSU!

    Also:
    "I will only sell as a bundle and not individually"

    That's gutting, as I was going to offer ?500 for Renegade 3 on it's own. :(

    I got a reply....

    Maybe only make a chip am not at home with it and would need to check, should come back to you soon.No change to the price, am not really expecting to get bids but I am interested to see how much people are willing to bid on retro games.

    .....

    all that was missing was l@@k rare :)

    and my question..


    hi, does it come with the gold box edition of alchemist.. stonkers.. make a chip .. scrabble .. tasword 2 ? if so I'd be interested in bidding.. if you could just move the decimal point a few places ;-) cheers

    I've asked on all 76 of my accounts if make a chip is in the bundle and if so is he willing to sep it. I'll get the value of this game rocketed up if it kills me :lol:

    PS if you wanna know how much people are prepared to bid, start at 99p?!?

    rockets you say, nov. 5th.. although there is a fireworks shop near me in Acton that sells em all year round.. thats the only way they'll be rocketed.

    tasword 2 / survival are tougher to get rid of IMHO

    I think I'll report him to ebay for a dodgy Listing.

    In his description he clearly states a Sack full of games, yet in his description his says it is a box full.

    dunno, ACE's go for what ?200-400 ? a lot of the time..
    there is a few machines like the ace I'd like BUT I can't justify the cost etc :)

    my personal favs are "make me an offer" type auctions.. of course I make an offer..would be rude not to :lol:

    I asked him if he would reconsider shipping internationally...
  • Zetr0Zetr0
    edited March 2011
    I tihnk you will find, that its people like this seller that thrive on attention..

    I am guessing that this poor deluded fellow is actually thinking -

    "wow look at this attention, I am in for big-bucks for sure!"


    has anyone sent him a link to "completed listings" yet?

    no, it was bikey I know the difference between as the other word is not broadcast-able.. and there isn't really a watershed on radio. errm and because they say it a fair bit it's obvious.

    right.. off to puk world ;)

    I suggested to him that he might have made a mistake with the decimal point - or his research - and pointed out that the "extremely rare ... not found for sale anywhere on the internet" Renegade 3 was currently for sale on eBay with 6 other games for 99p, and gave him some suggestions for games that really were rare - but I don't think he's going to take any notice. I'm at a loss to fathom the point of placing such a listing.

    renegade 3 is a steaming pile of cack , was on 64.. :D

    they won't listen.. much like these "best offer" lot ... when you offer them a realistic offer... e.g. someone asking ?30 for 3-4 games inc hypersports hehe

    and have bought the same elsewhere "they know better".. they do others (inc. me) a favour.. e.g. the mug wanting ?10+ postage for the budget version of ghostbusters :lol:
