For a good time, reach out to this wily KKKFarm-crankcaller at (780) 717-9274 or Ryleystuartreynolds@gmail.com up in Alberta, Canada!
His last crank-voicemail: "Gimme a call back when you can. This is Ryley by the way... *giggles*"
He then followed it up with 8 WEEKS of ~DAILY calling! BAN ON SIGHT!!!

I would love that hat, but it is ugly as fuck and no matter how much I would love to waste $500 on TG-16 stuff, I can't justify that much.

But, don't ask what I would be willing to pay, because it would be too much (no, I don't have an actual number in my head, but I know I am stoopid).

Oh, and the best part is that the hat COULD NEVER POSSIBLY FIT MY FAT FUCKING HEAD.

I would love to wear the damn thing and *ONLY* be mocked for its aesthetics, not for its tiny size.

:)

I want a wallet, hat, football, fuck me.

It would be easy to make wallet/football today, but that hat is *not* easy to fake. It seems pretty hard to make a bootleg hat like that.

Tobias edition TV Sports Football with a Turbob football replica?

Maybe less crowd appeal it but makes about 1000% times more sense than Dracula X and an energy drink...

Jajajjajjajajaja! Exactly, the energy drink was just crazy.

I'm still curious if anyone opened their's.  I'm pretty sure it's an awful concoction, but it'd be hilarious if it was the best energy drink you'd ever consume but then you had to get more.  After nearly bankrupting yourself buying Dracula X special editions, Tobias would run out of energy drinks.  There would be no way to get more legitimately; you'd go mad searching the web but you'd know that never again would you be able to satiate your thirst.  Only one path would remain open to you; you'd hunt down and murder all the collectards who proudly purchased a Tobias set by stalking their facebooks. 

Was it worth it?  Of course; even for just one more drop the quest would be worth it.  Every innocent Youtube Collectard you slew would yield 4 more cans.  You'd have a stats sheet where you'd count out how many persons you killed until, at last, the final purchaser of the Dracula X boxed set was found.  Then, lying in a pile of Dracula X energy drinks and bootleg CDs, you'd pass on.  A trail of energy drink dribbling out of the corner of your mouth with a smile on your face.  You drank them all.  You drank them all.

It's probably just dirty bathwater put into old recycled bottles with his labels on it.

I've read articles about that but I refuse to believe it's really a thing.  With that said, I think I said the same thing about anti-vaxers and flat earthers.  Flat earthers are the dumbest people I've ever heard of.

I'm in this real awkward position where I'm thankful I have those $5 tobias bootlegs, but I'm also embarassed to own them.

Though I wish someone who hadn't either lied about authenticity or profited from fan translations without asking (or both of these things) was making them, I'm happy to have gotten some cheap reproductions of otherwise stupidly expensive games.

Yeah, if anyone else was making repros I'd likely be happy to buy the rest of the CD games that I'm missing yet unwilling to purchase at going rates but the ones I got from Bernie et all are quite serviceable.

Parasol Stars is the priciest one of the bunch, but even it's not that expensive (~$75).

That is coming out to be about $56 per game. $56 for Keith Courage? WTF?!?!

That's hilarious. I've been looking at some of the retro gaming items on auction there recently and the prices they get up to are just insane. I have no idea what the people on there are thinking.

Here's another one that shocked me (non-TG16)

I have a feeling that people who bid ridiculous amounts on these are counting them as "donations" to Goodwill, and then itemizing and writing them down as deductions. Honestly, it's the only reason that makes sense to me, as shopgoodwill stuff routinely goes way over eBay prices.

That actually makes sense.  I've never really pondered the whole "why" part of it but I've definitely noticed the trend of lots of bids on auctions and winding up at higher than ebay prices in the end on goodwill stuff.

They might overpay thinking it's okay because the extra money is going to a good cause, but they're asking for trouble if they're taking a deduction.  That's tax evasion.

Yeah, you can deduct stuff you donate, but not things you buy from an a nonprofit.  They are providing goods in exchange for money, just like everything else you buy.  I wouldn't be surprised if someone was trying to do that though.

i love turbob. i think turbob on ebay is underpriced. please make turbob worth more. turbob deserves it. karl marx loves turbob.

I'm pretty sure Karl Marx would want the price on turbo to go down so that the people could afford it and not just the top 1%.
