He's selling his doubles, c'mon man.  Why would he need TWO of the same bootleg?  No problem here!

Anyone else notice there's been less TG16 & PCE eBay .99 cent auctions lately? Looking at recent sold listings, some boxed games have gone for wayy less then they have traditionally sold for. I'm thinking sellers are getting cold feet about auctions, at least for now.

Talked to the seller for that empty TG16 CD unit box today, apparently someone offered him $550. And will accept if the buyer goes outside eBay, really hope he's lying. Especially since one with an actual CD unit included sold for $800.

Yeah, lots of auctions for games are going for a little less than usual now. This is good because the market should drop a little for certain games. Then again, I've also noticed that certain auctions that end at a lower then normal price typically end at odd times of the day.

The problem is there is almost no incentive (or deterrent) for a seller to use an auction over a BIN unless they really just want to sell the item/need the cash ASAP. So you get less auctions, but tons of BIN listings where people just sit on shit at high prices until it sells.

Like that infamous Bonk 3 manual.

There's a black and white Canadian Bonk 3 manual up for 200$. Makes me want to puke.

Lol - when I sold mine I counted that manual as a knock against the value...  I still can't believe how perverse collecting gets, even though I was "there" myself...

SEALED YOU GUYS! Keep in mind that the seller might have been from a pack-in. Also, it "comes from my personal condition".
I feel like i have seen this exact thing on a Facebook group recently.  Seller is in CO so it's possible.

Wow I did not know they made a Rom2 amp.  It looks like a modern day projector.  I wonder if it was any good.  Looks like a bunch of tweeters.

also since it doesn't get mentioned often it's a pretty awesome site for looking at all the hardware, controllers, and add-ons made.

Yar....what did this thing go to? Looks like it must have been a store kiosk panel or something but I couldn't find anything on it.

If it was cheaper, like, a lot a lot a lot cheaper, I'd try to make an arcade stick out of it.

Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I was really hoping to see a photo of what it belonged to, but maybe I am misunderstanding it. Does it belong with this? I guess that could explain the lack of photos, being a kit.

EDIT: opening up the manual to that thing, yup, that's it.  Pretty cool.

I apparently missed the insert quarter bit when thinking it was a kiosk thing.

Heh, last time I was at Sadler's place it hadn't progressed too much, but of course it's been awhile since I've been up to visit him as well.  If he was closer I'd love to hang around and help him rebuild it but it's a bit of a drive to get up there.

Has anyone see the the darkwing duck for tg16 on amazon for 99.99 for just the card i was laughing so hard when i saw it

I'm not saying that isn't ridiculous, but looking on ebay $90 is the lowest price.  When did That happen?

I guess all the bad publicity made it too popular ?

GoldenWheels

Seems to sell routinely for 150+ with a case/instructions. WTH.  :roll:

I don't mind ponying up once in a while but the game has to at least be...good.

seieienbu

There actually isn't a real case for the game.  It was a late release that came in a plastic tray.  But yeah, a guy prints a label and then gets a case off of a Kieth Courage and then can make $50 or more extra lol

I don't have a ton of those later games with no cases but when I need extra cases I just order yakyuu baseball something or other from Japan for like 7 bucks.

Getting those round Hudson stickers off the back is kind of a pain, now I just leave them on so I know it wasn't original.

I do too, a lot of F1 Circus cases have died at my hands.  The easiest way to get the round stickers off for me is to heat them up with a hairdryer or something and it loosens the adhesive.  Just don't get it too hot ;)

Lol yeah, I was thinking of Bernie.  Between Lighter fluid to loose adhesive and/or a hair dryer to heat it up I've normally had pretty good luck getting sticker off almost anything I've every tried. 

The only thing I've yet to perfect is a good way to get those rental stickers with the thin metal strip in them off.  My poor copy of Quackshot looks great except for this one line right across the cart label where one of those security strips screwed me :(

You savage!....F1 Circus is actually cool game! I like all (3?) of them.

(A few of those Peach Boy non action titles have bit the bullet too to fix some of my loosies)

Spines are pretty easy...I actually cut them through to the "grid" plastic on the back with an exacto knife and chuck the little squares that weren't sticking to anything but air. Then I soak it in water. Voila. But those round Hudson stickers, I'm done screwing with them. I used a window scraper on one, slipped, and was lucky to not have to get stitches.
