Title: Ebay seller super fail
Post by: RoyVegas on 06/01/2009, 11:43 PM
Check out this Duo and the games lot.  This seller is insane?  Crazy?  Dumb?  Well, just look at it and youll figure it out.

We all wish we would have seen it.   It's obviously sold to a reseller so expect to see it all listed again in a week or two.

WTF!?!  This must have been nabbed as soon as it was listed.  I (and everyone here) would have been all over that.

Wow, that was a steal at that price. That reseller is going to make some $$$$ when this lot is broken up and put back on eBay.

I'd say he's an ignorant fool.  Too bad I didn't win this one so I could've driven out to G.I., picked it all up, and given him a free boot to the pills.

Just like clockwork, this reseller is doing his thing.

Looks like he changed his name but the feedback count confirms it's him.

I like how he is selling the Duo for more than he paid for everything.  That's cute.

I don't know this seller's history, but he's listing everything at pretty decent prices. It's not like he has the Duo for a Buy-It-Now only of $1000 or anything. That's actually the best buy-it-now price for a boxed Turbo Duo that I've seen in years.

I guess you tend to be more lenient when you've gotten such a ridiculous steal. If he sold only that Duo, he'd already break even from a cost perspective.

We all got pissed is because we knew he was a reseller (the feedback indicated it, and it's now proven). If we saw only a couple games go back up for sale, or only the system, it could be assumed that he's actually a collector and jumped on a killer deal to get some of the games he really wanted (which many of us probably would've done if we'd seen it first).

Theres a BIG differnce to a resller, and a gouger.  Sure peeps get mad/annoyed/whatever when a great deal goes to a person that will part it out, but CrackTiger is right...

Like I said above, I bought Gate of Thunder. It was only $47. That's the cheapest that I have ever seen it. Lately anyway.

I agree those prices are very reasonable and some times people over react if the person is a reseller.Beside it doesn't all ways mean the seller will double the asking price.Afther looking again what this seller had i decided to,buy shapeshifter.Any body else that i've seen on ebay selling shapeshifter wants $30.00 or $40.00+ bin plus  :P

   I agree, this guy is actually selling at a decent price. A working Duo for $300 or less is a fair price these days it seems.  Boxed seem to go for closer to $400, Which would make the DUO easily one of the higher resale value system from the 4th generation! I got a TG-16 controller from this seller for my now functioning TurboGrafx. Just need a system card for that CD attatchment now...
