Your link led me to do a search on the game to see what's going on lately (wanted to see if good ole megahit79 had just the manual up for $300+) though my linky below isn't for the NEC platform... Suffice to say, it's not looking good for Bonk out there as this fine gentleman is hoping to fetch $414.95 for the NES version of "Bonk's Adventure," cart-only (another seller simultaneously asking for $264.95 doesn't faze him):

I don't even understand what these things are?  Is there a console in the box?  Why the hell would anyone give a shit about a brown cardboard box?  If you collect boxes, you collect them so that they can be displayed them.  Why would I want this ugly piece of shit anywhere near my gaming shelf?

"Very rare to find one on eBay in perfect working condition"

Reality: it's very rare to find one on eBay that isn't brand new and in perfect working condition.
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!

If you scrolled down, you'd see he shows what's inside, though I agree it was pretty dumb to put the image of a brown cardboard box first... Both links are the same, that modded PAL TurboGrafx-16 with Blazing Lasers as a pack-in game.

Anyhow, this is profiteering because the source is an online store that still has them in stock for only £64.90.

http://consolegoods.co.uk
http://www.robwebb1.plus.com/pce/pce.htm - (The first item in this link)

The other modded ones are out of stock, though. Checking further, yeah, the eBay links are of the same basic one which is in stock (nothing special, like a RGB or region mod with what they're selling).

I'm looking on ebay at prices for games that I'd like to have the English versions of (RPG's mostly) and it's pretty disheartening. I knew some were awful (Dungeon Explorer 2) but I had no idea some of these were so high (Beyond Shadowgate, Might & Magic III, Exile 2) I guess supply just does not meet demand on these. Price does seem excessive though.

I must have a keyword in my saved searches that eliminates this garbage from coming up as a result.  I haven't seen one come up in a search result of mine in months.

Wonder if that is part of your Monster Lair/Loom haul from a few years ago?
The thought crossed my mind but it would have to be a copy that originated here.  All the ML were sold to members here if I recall.

WOW!......uh.. I gotta go  8-[
I wants it, but for 1/10th of the price...
I see one offer made. Anyone here?
Looks pretty nice.  Great shape, but for $10K it had better come with a brick of gold.
Whats the deal with this asshole seller anyway?  He is always listing his shit for $10,000.00 while posting shitty photos of one or two next to impossible to find games.

His last feedback was in 2008? Yeah, I'd trust him with $10K. :roll:

What's up with this auction?  $500 starting bid on a Duo and Express (boxed) with Bonk 3, LOHT, and a bunch of other 'rare' titles, but he doesn't bother to put any sort of description?  Let the pictures speak maybe?  I'm guessing this is just someone testing the waters to see what their shit might sell for but in the end he'll end the auction.

He even has Meteor Blaster and Implode.  This one has me confused.

It's not just a Laseractive, it is a NEC branded Laseractive. So much obey in one package, he basically got himself a license to gouge!

lol but really, not even tossing in Magical Chase and Bonk 3 CD in the pack to get to that absurd price.

I think it's just a "feeler" thing. Sellers put some bonkers price on a lot like that, and wait to see what offers they get. I highly doubt they're expecting to get 10K for that stuff. Someone comes at them with 6 or 7 though?... Who knows.

What a dickhead and his auto decline when you give him a best offer. Spam him with 1 dollar offers guys!
That's a $150 game tops. ...and that's pushing it.
Funny you should say that, that was my first offer and then I started spamming him with $1 offers.

If that plcards guy is a member here, then I apologize in advance for calling you out, but I bought a copy of Sinistron from him a year or two ago. He had one blurry photo but listed the game as Very Good. It came to me looking like junk. Worn, scratched Turbochip and scuffed/frayed manual. It played fine, so I didn't return it, but I pointed out to him that he should be more careful with his descriptions in the future.

He gave me some ration of crap about how I was being too picky and then bizarrely asked me to return the game, for which he was going to refund my money and send me some other game, for free. It was unexpected and out of the blue after he was giving me such a hard time for being dissatisfied, so I became wary and declined. What a weirdo. I don't buy from him anymore.

I bought from him a year ago.  I had an almost identical problem.  Same refund scenario was offered.  Like I'm going to send something back from Canada.  It's not worth my time or money.

Here's another one;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TURBO-GRAFX-EXPRESS-SYSTEM-W11-games-factory-sealed-/321141149710

$1600 starting bin.  But it's NEW!  NEW!  Never taken out of the box!  You are liar!  People are nuts.  This auction is a kaleidoscope of colours.  eBay should fine people for auctions that look like HTML webpages from 1990.

So out of curiosity i noticed after this that pl-ass has best offers on his items. So i wanted to see what would happen if i best offered soething reasonable. 25 for a game listed at 28 with free shipping. It was auto declined.  So i sent another, who cares if i spend a few buck more on a game i want to play? Although condtion looked okay but not great.
 Long story short...26 on a 28 dollar item was auto declined. What a pile of horse manure this guy is.  Why even have an offer button?

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I don't think so.  Sparky's labels are black (not white) beyond the curved color tab, these look to have a too small radius on the tab, and Bonk 3 is the wrong color.

Increases the likelihood that some jackass will just hit the buy it now button. If people see offers made on the item, some idiots will buy it now so they'll get it instead of the folks making the offers.

Or it could be so you can offer him more for it than the asking price? :P
