Title: WTF? I cant even get one...
Post by: BlackandBlue on 11/01/2009, 01:18 PM
And this ebay seller has THREE Bonk 3 CD games for sale on ebay right now.  How the hell do you just out of nowhere run into 3 copies of a rare game? 

one (http://cgi.ebay.com/Bonk-3-Big-Adventure-for-Turbo-Grafx-16-TG16-NEW-Sealed_W0QQitemZ350272986325QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item518de59cd5)

two & three (http://cgi.ebay.com/Bonk-3-CD-for-Turbo-Grafx-CD-Duo-Complete-Mint-RARE_W0QQitemZ350272986343QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item518de59ce7)

I mean, the price isn't that bad considering, but he's an obvious reseller that somehow got three of these damn games at once and thinks of nothing but making money off them.  Sorry, it was taco lunch day and my wife decided to make some mixed drinks and I'm a little buzzing and pissed right now.

This same seller has multiples of a LOT of games.  Frankly those prices for Bonk 3 are beyond fuckin ridiculous (as are most of his listings).

I offered him $15 each for all the rarer sealed stuff.  He not only declined but blocked me from making best offers on any of his auctions. :lol:

Haha, thats awesome.  Its a shame, because someone will probably buy them.  Well, maybe not that sealed one for a grand, but Im sure the other two will go.

He only has two Bonk 3's listed now; I hope the third one expired, rather than being bought.  Of the two that are left, they're different games (one HuCard and one SuperCD) and not technically multiple copies.

Now she has a sealed Magical Chase, 4 copies of might and magic III, some Cotton, 3 HU Bonk 3's,  Beyond Shadowgate...

6 copies of assorted media Bonk 3s.   Where the FUCK do you run into all of this shit?

I made an honest offer (the same amount an identical item had ended at) for one of her non-bullshit priced titles, but she couldn't be bothered to respond.  Make a counter offer, or at least tell me to fuck off, but why have a 'Best Offer' option if you're not even going to entertain said offers?!? 
Title: Re: WTF? I cant even get one...
Post by: BlackandBlue on 11/10/2009, 03:29 PM
Yeah, that's a good question. I did the same for two titles. Atleast she declined one of them after a couple hours, but ignored the other. Oh and the bonk 3 hu's w/ manual started out at $104. After one sold, she jacked the price up $15.

Johnstown, Ohio is the Mecca of Turbografx, didn't you know this?    :P

What I want to know is...is World_wide_video_game Connection and Ultimate video game connection the same person? They use the same berber carpet as a backdrop   :-k

Donno.  but Johnstown, Ohio ain't no TG-16 mecca.


Look out too, there is a site: www.videogameconnection.com that does ebay selling as Video_Game_Connection I believe.

They are in no way affiliated with either of the other two yayhoos.  Shame you got two "video game connection" spazzes on ebay with a similar name as a normal shop runner's store..

I made an offer on "Hit the Ice" and it has gone with no response.  I asked what condition the 7 copies of Dragon Slayer are in a week ago and have not gotten a response.  I live in Dublin, OH about 30 minutes away and this seller can't even show a neighbor some love...

If we're talking about that worldwide_video_game_douchebag, they are NOTORIOUS for not responding to offers or any kind of correspondence. I actually got a reply out of them once that stated "I believe my asking price is more than fair" after making an offer on a game (this was after like 37 other offers on other games they had for sale). So I fired back, "Why do you offer the "Make Offer" option on all your games when you are not willing to entertain offers?"

See if you can guess what I got in response.

She blocked you as a buyer is my guess.

These Ebay re-sellers deserve to have their souls eaten by the third horseman, Famine.

Seriously though. If people simply wouldn't buy the overpriced re-seller stuff, we wouldn't have this problem. They are buying up stuff we could own for reasonable prices and then letting them sit or occasionally selling one to some poor soul.
