you will be judged... but as a group... we all have weak moments but do not make it a habit :P
rags you are so welcome to the club :)

Sounds good Sparky! My ebay ID is lioncub10. I hereby pledge to sell using penny auctions and to avoid bidding on outrageous buy-it-nows at all costs.
Sparky, I have already begun spreading our ideals in other places, such as on petesgameroomforum, where one of the mods was telling others that US Duos could go for $700, easy.
Check these threads out:
thread 1 (http://petesgameroomforum.com/topic/3399574/1/#new)
thread 2 (http://petesgameroomforum.com/topic/1754219/findpost/490276/)
I got down to the part in thread 1 where Nintega's name showed up, and then I jumped ship.
That said, sign me up for the club. I'll be awaiting my membership card. I haven't bought anything off eBay in.... months, at least, if at all in 2010.
Ok, dude.
I'm down. That said, I do use eBay/half.com quite a bit for buying and selling (member since 1998), but I deal with mostly ancient records and Audio Equipment, most of which is so old it only exists in books, in Grandpa Joe's basement, or fringe newsgroups on the internet. That said I use eBay exclusively for Epson printer cartridges because otherwise they are $24x6 per refill and that's stupid-greedy-expensive on Epson's part.
The last video game I sold was a boxed copy of "Star Mission" or something for the NES for like $6, 8 months ago. The buyer sent me an email proclaiming that it was his favorite game from childhood. I asked him If he had ever played turbo in my reply.
The last game I bought was Dracula X for $68 shipped from England. Complete.
Same as blue for the most part..I'm in. Let the "gotta have it now/pay whatever it takes" asshats screw themselves (and us)...their time will come.
Nice 4 strong members and yes its ok to use ebay but not to be a fool when using it...
This is all about using common sense when buying from ebay or any other forum or store... there is a lack of this in so many these days.
I will be working on the design of the cards and i will be including bonus items to send with the card :).... also bonus items through out the year like xmas :)... its all about a group that believes in this place and what is fair and real on what our hobby/enjoyment is worth. <<group hug>>
Unfortunately I use ebay quite a bit to get some of my stuff; :oops: sometimes it's my only option for the weird obscure games that I'm looking for. With that being said, I believe that I don't screw myself over too much and when I sell things, I think that my prices are fair. Feel free to check my record (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=smashed_brother&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer) and decide whether or not I'm worthy enough to be part of something greater.
what happens if we buy something obscure/rare/pay what its worth but noone else knows wtf it is and thinks its a waste of money.
what happens, what if??????... it is all under judgment of this crew... so use good judgment when buying is all i have to say.. if you buy something obscure that is fine but common sense will prevail :) dont worry Ark you are part of the good but that is my opinion. :)
EDIT HERE-----> Smashed Brother: i looked throw your ebay stuff and you seam fair man, if there are no other objections will add you to the list... dont slip up :)
Cause I mean I just spent 500$ on a bunch of out of print, near impossible to find miniatures/stuff for a game called Legions of Steel a few months ago on ebay. That's what happens when the company gets sued by Games Workshop and is fucked out of existence I guess.
wouldn't want something like that to make people go OMG IDIOT SPENDER ON EBAY.
....cause less stuff went for more at an auction at origins, lol.
Lets restrict this to ONLY video games/ pce and tg16 merchandise as that is where the fuckery lies on ebay...
Other ebay buys don't count as i am sure we cannot relate nor do we care.
new club logo added to the first post... this will also be the front of the card that members will get.... good times :)
Sign me up! :D
Fuck yeah, I can't wait to judge and mock others (more so)! :lol:
Sign me up, though I see it more as a "Fuck Ebay Douchebaggery" club. There's still plenty of good deals to be found on ebay, so I can't quite throw all of it under the bus.
That logo is fucking tits.
ohh man.

Thank you! I promise to do my best to uphold the reputation of this club!
it is all in good serious fun with this club :P...
The cards are ready and will be printed tomorrow... They will come with a self laminating slip cover that you can apply after you sign the card... no special equipment needed. 8)
I did a small change with the word FUCK to F@ck... my printers boss is a bit of a dick so i softened the blow with the word in case he sees the cards :P <<shrugs>> looks more stylistic anyways <<designer pose>>

How about you do a little edit to that card there Sparky? Based on what you've said so far about the standards of this club, you should edit the name. It should read: The F@ck eBay Unless I Can Get A Good Deal Club". :-k
What's the point of making a club called fuck eBay when the first people interested freely admit they shop eBay and your ok with that? Maybe you could call it the: I Only Pay Low Prices On eBay Club? :-k
Ya i am ok with ebay being used, i do not use it but it is just a fun little club of members that do not over pay or gouge on TG/PCE stuff on ebay... it is shaping up quite nicely i think.
so no it is fine the way it is :)

Received mine in the mail today! Actually it's probably been sitting there for awhile, I've just been too busy to check the mail! Looks amazing man...and thanks for the awesome stickers too!
The card looks great, by teh bai, sparks. :)
I would buy one but I would want the full word "Fuck" in it, or maybe a "*" instead of an "@". ? Can that be done? Not trying to get you in trouble I just like mine to be offensive :twisted: The way it is now reminds me of how they say "Frack" on the scifi channel in place of fuck.
buy one? ....membership is FREE and sent to you for FREE with bonus items...so take it or leave it Mr Picky :P
But i hear ya, Fuck would have been better but my printers boss is a dick so did not want to get him in trouble.

Sparky, would you like this moved back to Fighting Street, or do you like it fine here in Chit Chat?
ummmmm... ya maybe throw it back in there... when you get a chance,
thanks for asking man.
IF ITS HERE, HOW WILL WE DISCUSS IT.
In Fighting Street. Where it should be.
I suppose I should join, although i do sometimes buy a few things on ebay, its usually only open auctions and not from stupid gougers. I try and sell or trade items on sites this this first. Ebay people usually just want to resell things. And ebay fees and rules etc are tailored towards sellers who sell thousands of cheap trinkets for minimal profits, not normal people like us. It used to be different, but now its crap.
i learned my lesson and im only going to buy something from someone I know.
Got my stuff yesterday. Thanks!
As it stands, I haven't bought anything Turbo related from eBay in at least 8 months. The last purchase was Card Angels for $12, surely a great deal.
I still think we should all start supporting GameGavel. The selection sometimes isn't so hot, but if the community doesn't ever step in it will never be a better alternative to eBay. There's my 2 cents.

Game Gavel is an auction site that caters to retro gamers. They have new generation games too, I think. Their selection has steadily gotten better since last year. Except for the Turbo. :( It's been lacking a little lately.

Too bad the only Turbo goodies are overpriced shit equal to that on eBay.
yeah so all they do is look at ebay prices and then sell for the same on this site. the thing is though if everyone from pcengine fx sold on here kept the prices good and they would make out just as good in the end due to cheaper fees. plus everyone here wouldnt have to deal w ebay. and then this could also be a safer place to buy. peps would judt have to use thire pcenginefx names as part of the fack ebay club

I'd rather sell my stuff on PCEFX and cut out the auction middleman altogether.
I used Gamegavel exclusively, or tried to in 2007-2008. Started a store, posted links to gamegavel from my site...etc etc.
And every auction I had, were sold with only one bid to the then owner of the site. Just to give everyone fair shot, like I do when I do sell on evilBay, I start all my auctions at under a dollar.
I know the site is now owned by different people, and its a lot more popular than it used to be... but. It left a sour taste in my mouth.
I remember selling an N64+Controllers+Hookups+FzeroX for $1. And a CDi unit for $1 too. I was pretty pissed. I sent a message to the guy that was a member here that I was pissed and GameGavel was just a bullshit site made to plump up the guys personal collection.. lol. I thought it was DragonWarriorJason or something like that. He just apologized.. but from what I understand he's not affiliated with the new site.

Well with more members joining and i hope in time new members as well i hope this club makes for a better place and seperates the gougers and ebay assholes...
For me it is going to be nice when i sell my Bonk 3 huey (if i dont get any trades) i will open it to the F-ebay crew first as i would be most happy with anyone from here getting the game at the price i am going to sell it at :)
EDIT: fuck my spelling and sentence structure :P

F@ck ebay......well I buy allmost everything on ebay but do not sell anything ever (except for doubles for witch I never ask more than I've payed my self. and never on ebay only local auctions sites in sweden) on ebay or anywhere else. I also buy from "risingstuff", "game of japan" and a dozen other places, where ever I can find the best price.
Mostly PC Engine hardware at the moment, have my sight on a complete hardware collection and I'm close...
Worst will probably be the PC Engine LT...getting that one will probably ban me from this forum altogether lol
If I'm welcome in despite all the above let me know and I'll PM sparky my address?

I'd rather buy the jp version of say bonk 3 for 35 bucks (Witch I have) than pay 350 for the american version.
(but I do want it, the us version of bonk 3 ;D )
I do not strive for a complete collection of the NEC PCE PC-FX or Turbografx 16 game systems, only buy the games I realy want to play and games that are playable regardless of the language barrier...
your card is in the mail TGX16 :)
Sparks you can sign me up, I NEVER play stupid prices. I stopped selling on there years ago but I would never list something at a stupid BIN price if I did anytime soon. I buy a fair amount of games but again I try to pay below AVG prices.

Hey Sparky, I'd like to join club as well if that's alright with you. I have been burnt too many times by sellers gouging prices on my beloved turbo games.
of coarse, pm me your details man and i will get your card out tomorrow. :)
What does the Club consider a decent price to be for Dungeon Explorer II for the Turbo-CD?
US Or JP?
US :)
When I first joined the forum it was one of the most expensive games clocking in at around $70 IIRC. People were pissed that it was over $50 or something.
I have the Japanese version. Paid $15.

I hope for a deal around those prices, but I don't know if I will be so lucky. So far the lowest price I have been offered is $150 for a complete copy.

Yup. It's a sad thing. :(
About two years ago I've bought DE II from a seller in the UK (mint condition) for £25.00 at that time aprox. $ 45.00 I think
at the same tim i got Exile II complete with the cardboard slip in mint condition for the same price.
My latest buy is a Supergrafx with pad, cable and PSU for $120.00 (Sparky! should I send my membershipcard back?)
Considering the normal Ebay price for a SG I think the price were perfect!
Got my F@ck Ebay card the otherday by the way Thanks!!
I just bought a GP2X WIZ the other day from a seller in Montreal. I payed $139CAD for it, which is pretty standard.

Here's a review of it. But it's basically a Linux based portable game console that plays emulators for a ton of consoles as well as MAME.

Nice! I need to get me one of those. I never could figure out a lot of emulators. Especially the NES emulator for the Dreamcast. Got KEGA and ZSNES most of the way figured though.
They're pretty cheap for what you get and it has a Dpad, not a stick, which is what a lot of portable emulators seem to have.
I haven't tried loading emus up on the Dreamcast, yet. How are the Sega and SNES emus? And how does the Dreamcast controller feel playing those games?
DC controller is spot on perfect, but from what I've seen so far dreamsnes doesn't run very well... Pretty choppy actually.... :S
NES runs perfect tho!
Just a thought guys... for those of us that do occasionally try and fetch a decently priced item off of ebay.... maybe we could have a thread dedicated to tracking any auctions we're trying to win so that we don't compete with each other on anything. So one person could say.. "hey I'm wanting to go for this auction.... <link>" Then the rest of us will know not to try for the same one. Ebay gougery is bad enough, but if we compete with each other on the few reasonably priced items... :(

Sounds good to me. :)
As some may have seen I found myself a US version of Dungeon Explorer II for $150. The game is mint and even includes the back insert! I didn't think I'd ever pay that much for a game (excluding the Neo Geo), but I love the first game so much that I just had to experience it's English sequel. Yes, I could've bought the PCE version, but I would be missing out on the story. Plus I hear that the US version has some very good voice acting as well. I stand here to be judged. But go easy please. I have lost my protective shell due to molting. :mrgreen:
ummmm.... ya that is high, i only paid $50 last year for it and would go as high as $100... where is your patience my friend?... i am willing to let this 1 slide, as long as you dont fuck up again :P <<huggles>>
but what say the members??
Mathius sent me an unannounced freebie so... :P He's good in my book!
*Hugs* Sparky
Thanks for the kind words Beemer
DEII is the only high dollar Turbo/PCE game that I really REALLY wanted because of my intense love of the first DE. At least I am not buying it to have it look good on a shelf. This motherf@cker is going to get played! :twisted: I wish I could've waited long enough to get a deal like you did Sparky. But alas...:(
I'll never do it again <<<quiet weeping>>>
uhhh, well you bought it on your own accord..
Have You beaten DE1? If you beat DE1 or 2 and post it on the "Race is on B1tches" clear thread ill let it slide... :mrgreen:

$150 isn't the cheapest I've seen, but it's certainly not the most expensive either. Impatience with DEII is also understandable. Out of all the Turbo games I've wanted since I started collecting it's up there in the top 5, if not #1. Just don't do it again! :P

My fan club still running strong. Love ya! :wink:
I can abide by these rules. Ebay handle is marcel_alexis.
I tend to be a very cautious buyer on ebay, and only really buy complete games that are in good shape. I have been known in the past to pass up auctions that seemed even a few dollars high because I wasn't willing to pay more than what I thought was fair, I can wait it out most of the time. I've recently been visiting vintage game stores in the Seattle area and got a few good deals:
China Warrior (Complete, good condition) $8
Andre Panza Kick Boxing (Complete, good condition) $5
Space Harrier (Complete, good condition) $15
Devil's Crush (Complete, good condition) $15
Valis 3 (Complete, decent condition) $19
Double Dungeons (Complete, amazing condition) $14 (really mint or I'd have passed on it)
Turrican (Complete, good condition) $17
A bit more about me in general as a Turbo player:
I've owned a TG16 since right around the time they were released in the US. I was a RABID fan of the system, constantly scoffing at friends with the Genesis because I KNEW that I had the superior system no matter what they said. I read every review in every magazine I could on the system, games and PCE stuff. I didn't have normal posters in my room as a kid, only TG ads that were cut out of the magazines and posted on the wall. I saved money from mowing lawns to buy a converter and Street Fighter 2 when it came out in Japan and endured the 3 months shipping time to my house...
My parents were cool and got me the Turbo for Christmas one year the Turbo CD and the Super System Card the year it was released. I have toted the system all over the world with me as I moved around while serving in the Army, the system has never failed me. I desire to have a complete collection some day, but not willing to compromise on quality or price (to a certain degree).
Biggest Turbo mistake was selling it at one point before I left for the Army...I bought it back after 2 months because I couldn't stand it...thankfully I came to my senses.
You got lucky being able to buy your beloved Turbo back. I wouldn't have been able to stand it either.
Marll---> thanks for taking the time man to post & that is good enough for this club :) i will have your card out soon.
hahaha... i also cut out ads when i was a kid of tg16 systems & games i wanted, kept them in a little binder.....i still have it :oops:

Made a purchases today, and didn't run it past the club :oops:
$5.95 for Battle Royale with Game, Manual and Case (maybe sleeve, but not sure).
All the other listings on e-bay were around $20 at the time and this one was buy it now so I pounced. Any higher and I'd probably have passed, but been hard finding good Turbo games locally lately.
Not a bad price considering I've paid $2 for just an empty case to sacrifice for another lonely game.
I bought without running past the club, my first eBay purchase in over a year.
New Adventure Island (US ver), cart only, $18.
fack you guys are the best.... with the members we have, speaking for myself, i have no concerns that the rules will be broken but seeing these f@cking fantastic prices just makes me want to hug you all :P.....so keep them coming so non members can see what the smart people are paying 8) f@ck ya

Not bad. I got mine earlier this year for $23 (unboxed but otherwise complete).
I have to start recording what I paid for games in the pcedai notes. I just end up forgetting most of the time unless it's a really sweet deal.
If you have not received your card yet well all are in the mail now :) with bonus bits :)

I also bought two games on ebay and I think the price was fair: Champion forever Boxing (JIC) and Falcon (IC) for 12$ (17$ with shipping).

It's a place called Amazing Heroes. Not much Turbo stuff there now, just 3 copies of Keith Courage, Sherlock Holmes Vol 1. Takin' it to the Hoop, and Tiger Road.
Buddy of mine goes in there a couple times a week to check for Dreamcast games and tipped me off.
i guess i did pretty bad. on a whim I bought a supergrafx for 140 plus 60 for shipping from hit japan. he was sellin it for 185 but i knocked him down a bit. im not a cib guy so i dont care about that. I think it would of been a good deal if it was 140 total but you cant really blame him or me for the shipping. whats ur guys opinion?
I got my SuperGrafx for $65 shipped... from Japan, no less. Mint condition, but no box. $140 seems high no matter which way you slant it.

It was an impulse buy, nothing more. It happens to the best of us. And after your last supergrafx incident... I think we can let this one slide :P

Seems okay to me, but the seller's feedback is a little worrisome. :-k
Quote from: Marll on 12/14/2010, 01:11 PMThinking about these...
Those are decent prices, but I'd be concerned about what condition they'd arrive in.
I agree, after reading more of the feedback, I'm not sure I want to take a chance. I'm pretty picky about the condition of my games, so should probably avoid any disappointment.
What they said. The price is definitely right, though.
I have been looking to buy a Super Grafx system, and a guy offered to sell me one for $200 shipped. It is in mint condition and comes with the box, styrofoam. Is this a good price, or do you guys advise that I wait for a better deal?

yeah that sounds good to me i just paid 206 total for a sgx unboxed with a ave six controller. do yeah Id frikkin buy it. everything unboxed is selling for around 2 so if this is cib id get it
$200 mint with box sounds like a deal to me. :)
If you care about the box and all that, go for it. I got my system loose, however, for $65 used.
Wow, $65 is a mighty fine price! May I ask when and where you got it? For me, the most important thing is the console itself with all the hookups, but the box is always a plus. I am kinda inclined from buying from this seller since he resides in the U.S.
Shipping alone from Japan usually costs about $65+ for a system.
I am not sure what the SGX system sans the box goes for these days.
i payed $110 for mine, but was loose with a couple games... here is a pict.. did not have the original AC though
i forget if that was shipped :-k
(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x114/sparkss_photo/suprg.jpg)
If it is in sweet ass shape and in the USA like nat said go for it... if he has a game to throw in that would be mighty nice of him :)
for shits sake!!! I fuckin hate myself!!!!! FUK!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Im so pissed. Mine doesnt even have a fuckin gsx controller!! and I paid 200 for it. ug well I got my fuckin piece of shit sgx and im not even happy!!

Its ok, I spent a bundle on a PC-FX and a Laseractive... while very cool, they both will get VERY little use :P Money could have been better spent on some obey :lol:
We still <3 you turbo lol.
Quote from: chany60126 on 12/21/2010, 10:01 PMWow, $65 is a mighty fine price! May I ask when and where you got it?
I had a buddy of mine pick it up for me when he was in Japan. He got it at some shop in Akihabara. I also got a boxload of games and other video game stuff at the same time to save on shipping. The total bill was like $350, but the SGX accounted for $65 of that. It came loose with A/V cable and AC adapter (original). No controllers, but IIRC I got like three Ave 6 pads in the same lot so it didn't matter.
That was in 2006, I believe. 10+ years after I first learned of the SuperGrafx and made it a mission to own one. I'm a very patient guy when it comes to holding out for good deals. Believe it or not, somehow the SGX flew under my radar until the mid 90s when I finally joined the Turbo List.
Quote from: nat on 12/23/2010, 08:03 PMBelieve it or not, somehow the SGX flew under my radar until the mid 90s when I finally joined the Turbo List.
Yeah, that actually really surprised me when I read that. I learned about it from reading all the game magazines BITD in the mall cigar store while waiting between buses on my way home from school. There were some small articles on the SGX, but it really intrigued me seeing it in the back pages of the mags in black and white, with all the ads and game store. It really did look "super". When the new issues would arrive I would hate it when I saw my bus was arriving. The fifteen or twenty minute wait just wasn't enough time when the new EGM or GamePro magazines were released. :mrgreen:
Wow nat, that is a great story. Man I wish I had friends that went to Japan and help me out like that. The Super Grafx is such a neat looking system like Ceti said, and would really love to play some of those fantastic games like Daimakaimura and Aldynes without having to emulate them.
Finding a good deal on classic games is really hard these days, especially with this whole 'retro revival' fad many people seem to be in. Although $200 shipped ain't a bad offer for a cibler system I suppose, I'm going to see if this seller will throw in some games or lowers the price. If someone else gets it, oh well.

As with nat patience is key. If you don't want to pay that price just make a thread here and let it incubate for however long it takes. I am sure someone here will bite sooner or later.
I got my SGX for $120.00 + shipping from JP. right pad and RGB-cable not original PSU.

That's a fantastic attitude to have. There's one thing you can be sure of, and it's a truth that I live by: there will ALWAYS be a better deal some day down the road. Always.
(Although, I'll admit, to date I haven't seen a better deal on a SGX than the price I paid. :) But I'm sure it will happen.)
I sold mine, loosie, but complete with matching controller, ac cable, power adapter + 1 game (battle ace) to a former member of this board for $120 shipped.
and tgxfan, those controllers shouldn't be specific to the supergrafx, as the background color of that controller matches not only the supergrafx, but the coregrafx (1) as well. So you should be able to find them without too much hassle. I remember picking up loosie PCE controllers in Japan for <$5, so even if you triple the price shipped to US, it still shouldn't be a huge expensive item.
Yeah Thnx for the info. I think thats what im going to do. Im pretty over the price I paid for it now and Im just happy to have it. Im sur ethat core controller would do just fine. :)
Pickd up world heroes 2 for $14 shippd from the bay.
Think I got a deal, I've been wanting this game since I was 14 lol
Actually considering this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/12-Hucard-Case-2-Games-Turbo-Grafx-16-Turbo-Duo-/320633879730?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item4aa744bcb2
I have the case labels from Sparky, so could complete Aero Blasters (which I don't currently have) and Vigilante (which a friend will buy for $10). Still seems high to me, but finding a source for HuCard cases is hard.
Also looking at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Turbo-Grafx-16-Game-Cases-TurboDuo-/260711665954?pt=Video_Games&hash=item3cb3a05122
Thoughts?
Marll, honestly the last time I bought some cases etc, I paid something like $25 shipped for 9 sports titles (all complete with manuals and everything) So that price seems a little bit high, unless you're just set on getting "original" cases for those particular games. If you're just trying to pretty up your collection, find a lot of cheap sports titles and use the uber awesome Sparky labels.
Yeah, I was thinking similar, the only thing that kind of made that auction interesting was the Aero Blasters, which I could "complete" with a Sparky label, otherwise it seems way too high. I'll probably just buy cheap sports titles and do it that way.
That second auction with the eight cases went for a decent price, I think. Less than two bucks per case.
Well m8's!
A call to...not arms perhaps but Sparky. :-"
Could you please make a good set of the sapphire coverart?
I do not have access to colorprinters, so for me it's a bit hard to get a nice cover for my
"Bemmer bootie sapphie"
You could mark them "F@ck Ebay" 8)
I for one need two complete sets
There has to be others who need also?
If needed I'll go down on my knees and begg [-o<
i certainly will TG16 :) For F-ebay members
sorry guys i have been on hoildays for the last 2 weeks and i have been a lazy bastard and need to hook people up with manual inserts & a couple F-ebay cards, when i get back to work tomorrow i will get back to it :)
Happy F-ebay New Year
I would love to get some tray art and insert action for my 3 copies (gave the other 2 to friends that are starting their collections =D> ). The work on the case labels is top notch, would love to have something of similar quality for the inserts!
Hello all, I'm new to the community, but I saw this thread, and decided to respond lol! For a long time now, I've disagreed with the path Ebay has taken, and have tried to steer clear of it as much as possible. Although I'm new to the NEC scene, most of the priced I've seen on there are absurd, and I've been forced to look elsewhere. Sign me up! I'd like a real reason to be the way I am lol!
Sign me up! I had a decent TG-16 collection back in the early 90's but have recently started collecting again. I can't believe the prices for some of this stuff.
welcome guys, new members are always welcome but i would like to see your ebay ID's,
cant be to safe these days with all the ebay fuckery :P

ah hell, i suppose i have to join now, i need something for my sapphire game, it's so cold and lonely.
may I join?
I rarely use ebay, mostly get my games from digitpress or Racketboy.
have to join? no you don't and i am not sending a insert to people that feel they have to join. <<waves>
You have to want to join! :P And not just for the goodies, but rather for the sake of fighting against the gougery that is ebay!
:lol:
yeah, i try to avoid ebay altogether, it's supposed to be an auction site, but it's hardly that anymore.
so let me rephrase that:
"please sir, i want to join."

Ebay ain't all bad: my recent haul (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5360.msg158289#msg158289) from hit-japan was $92.50 plus shipping, working out to about $10 per game shipped.
Hey guys, someone has offered me the US version of New Adventure Island with manual for $30 shipped. I have been wanting this game for quite some time. Do you guys think this is a good deal or should I wait?

There's one up on eBay for the exact same price (http://cgi.ebay.com/TURBO-GRAFX-NEW-ADVENTURE-ISLAND-GAME-/120675691923?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1c18d4ed93), so I wouldn't say that's a very good deal when the seller is saving the fees and you'd be forgoing eBay's protections. If you're patient you should be able to find a better deal, even on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbo-Grafx-16-GAME-New-Island-Adventure-WORKS-PERFECT-/220725329383?pt=US_Vintage_Video_Games&hash=item3364413de7).

Same here, all mine are still unused :P
wow those inserts got to you guys fast, i only mailed them out last Wednesday!!! the postal service does not fuck around with F-ebay orders i guess :).
Glad you guys like the inserts. If you ever need to crease an edge yourself just use the back side of an xacto blade knife, make a light pass over the paper and ta daaaaa!!! :)
and use the stickers guys, i got lots.
My insert arrived yesterday and it sure is purty sitting in its jewel case. Many thanks to you, Sparky.
Got mine yesterday, top notch stuff as always. Now I just need to get a white CD case for it and it'll be perfect!
My stickers remain unused almost a year? later.
Marll, is your avatar one of the suits the robot from Invader Zim wore?
It's actually a gif of one of the sprites from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game
Ahh. Thank You for the Clarification.
Got the Sapphire inserts, along with the sapphire booties it looks mighty tasty all together!! WOO!!! Thank you so very much!

I wanna join the club. I've never sold anything on Ebay, and all of the things I've bought from there I feel have been very fair or below average. I've actually have never sold any of my gaming stuff. I'm a big time local thrift store/game store hunter and all of my doubles have been given away to friends. One of my good friends got a modded Saturn in a carrying case and a starter set of games for his B-day, another sport fan freind got all of my NES sports titles and very clean NES for christmas.
Most of my PCE purchases have actually been from other forum members and I've had great communication with them and very fair deals.
I'll PM you my info Sparky

Ebay wasn't bad until everything went to Buy it Now. No one auctions games for real market prices anymore, they just look at what everyone else is trying to sell them for and put theirs a little higher hoping someone will be stupid and buy it.
But yes, ebay has caused the prices on Turbo / PCE stuff to be grossly over inflated for no good reason at all, and as such few here are big fans of using ebay for anything Turbo / PCE related.
Yeah, I looked on ebay when I was considering selling my TG16/CD systems and the fucking CD was like $400-ish....but at least there were other sensible resources for pricing on the net for the systems...unfortunately for me Beyond Shadowgate didn't have anything else I could find for pricing (except racketboy, which is also apparently frowned upon)

To get an idea... I just a few weeks ago, paid about $145 shipped for a working good TG16 + CDrom setup. (it was $175 shipped with an Arcade Card Pro) That's about the top of what I'd consider a working good setup to be worth.
Meh, doesn't matter to me...I couldn't bring myself to sell it, even at $400...not that I'd consider more. I just can't get rid of the system. Software, maybe...system, no.

Sure you would, douchebag; you'd do anything for money.
Besides, who the do you think you're kidding? We all know that the average TG-CD isn't worth anywhere near $400, not even on eBay.

Was it something that I said? The feedback I just got tonight on ebay has really set me off. The dude gave me positive feedback but then tells me not to wait ten days to mail out the package right there in the feedback when I didn't! I'm through with this crap. I had to wait for his funds to clear on my card so I could ship. I took three days like it should. Not to mention he payed on a Sunday, which slows things down again. :roll:

phhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooockkkkkkkkkk Ebayyy
They just took down my listing because I spilled the beans on how much I make after selling them something.
They said it was a listing violation but it was because I mentioned MO ( money order ) in the item discription.
The listing violation excuse was M9999 or something. Where I did not post a product review.
Seriously this is getting stupid, because I have an item up with no catolog information and these bastards just do not want me to list Money Order as a paying option.
I had over ten warnings about lising without a description, and some bas just decided to cancel my listing because that is how they get their rocks off. Right?
No money order in description, only paypal.
Maybe they took it down cause everyone was complaining that they couldn't fucking understand what you were describing? Regardless ebay sucks.
Quote from: RegalSin on 01/06/2012, 08:46 AMThey said it was a listing violation but it was because I mentioned MO ( money order ) in the item discription.
Do you have a link to the listing or is it gone already? They don't allow money orders for payment unless it is a car, heavy machinery, industrial equipment, real estate, or porn.* Dumb rule perhaps, but that's the way it is.
* - One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others,
By the time I finish my song?

Do a search for him, he's infected just about every game forum in existence with his completely nonsensical posts (and usually gets banned for it).
phuck ebay, phuck ebay, phuck ebay, and phuck ebay. They removed two of my listings because I did not input item description. Seriously phuck ebay.
1. Prevent you from seeing who is bidding against you.
Feel like being in a room of KKK members. I complained one time and this changed, for awhile and then it went back.
3. They used the catolagoe as an excuse. I think they are trying to get my account removed on purpose. I had a couple of items for sale and these bastards, took the only item, where I talked about how "ebay makes X amount of my sales". I honestly think they are trying to get rid of me, on purpose. To have a bunch of dickless sellers who are dickless actors, types. You know the types who buys things from the home shopping network. I list a "Super Gameboy II" and they are asking for crap which nobody can provide.
It went down to 95% after one buyer was unhappy with
something they made a mistake buying. Instead of them getting a negative for not paying. I get a negative for their retarded purchase.
They just want me to list a bunch of crap, so they can profit from my stuff. That is what they want, That is all they want.
They jack up the prices and even deduct on shipping.
WTF??????
Phuck ebay, Phuck ebay, phuck ebay.
What about "2"???

Phuck ebay.
Oh my gosh. That's the best answer I could've hoped for.
I want in on this too, please.
What about sellers who charge a decent price but, make false claims about the games/cases/booklets being in mint condition and you don't find out until you get and inspect them?
Can that be considered Turbo Gouging since you're paying for what appears to be mint in the pic and description but, upon inspection has scratches in the title paint and wrinkles in the manuals?
This happened to me once and I haven't purchased any more games off of ebay since.
That is not gouging, that is a liar, lair pants on fire!!!
Post your ebay handle here or PM to me and i will look ya over :twisted:
I don't know if the account that I had back then still exists so, a few days ago I made a new account.
It's KlashK9.
The older one -if it still exists- was ClashCanine or maybe Clash Canine. It's been years so, I don't really remember if the two words were combined or seperated and furthermore, I had a different e-mail back then, so applying for a password recovery wouldn't work so, that's why I made a new one.
If the old name is still in their database, you may be able to find the ratings that I gave to the jerk after he got snobby with me over the whole mess.
EDIT: Glad you like my avatar but, actually I chose it from a list offered by the forum default.
I'm planning on heading over to a photo hosting service soon so, I can get a more fitting avatar set up.
BTW, have you thought about adding any more TG16 related images to the card?

Well, no. I didn't quit ebay really. I just got side tracked with other stuff. Actually, I think my last purchase may have been a body kit for an RC car or something.
I don't remember the exact order that I made my purchases in but, that one just stands out the most in my memories because how that punk screwed me over.
I wish I still had the proof pics that I took of the condition of the games once I got them!
Made me so mad I could have ate nails!

Hey, guys. Since I put those 9 Hus up for sale, I've been getting interest from people who have hardly posted a thing and most of the posts they have made have been in the sales sections.
I get the feeling that some of these dudes just want to turn around and sale this stuff at highway robbery prices and two of them are sellers for sure.
What do you think? Should I just give them the cold shoulder or what?

If you want the games to stay in the community then deal with anyone over 100 posts. Of course, this isn't a guarantee. On the other hand those hueys aren't super sought after or anything. :)

kill them all.
I definitely want these games to stay in the community even it means sacrificing some good trade in return.
I HATE price gouging with a passion! Nothing is worse for a serious enthusiast or low-income collector then to see something fairly nice being treated like it's a one-of-a-kind, ancient treasure that many an adventurer died for in order to bring it to the knowledge of the modern world!
It's disgusting how some people will take advantage of you when they have something that they know you might like to have.
I don't have time to haggle and play head games with greedy, money-loving twits.
If there is some game that's worth a pretty penny and I can afford it and have a place to keep it where it will be treated with respect then, that's all good and fine as long as it's not being sold at a whopping 6 times it's true value!
Well, that's enough ranting for me.
...really. How much were you charging for Final Lap Twin, Keith Courage and Galaga '90?
I think to be fair to the members we should let the regulars that post have the first crack at systems and games. I've seen too many posts from new forum members that post what they want then dont bother getting involved in other topics but bump the thread 3 weeks later with 2 posts to there name. I'm all for new members as we've all been there one time, But just don't join the forums looking to score cheap obey then leave or worse yet turn a profit on ebay.
Okay, Sadler. I know 2 wrongs don't make a right. I pegged mlbfan10 for a flipper and thought I'd give him a little taste of his own medicine.
I originally intended to charge him 10 for Galaga '90, 9 for Final Lap Twin and 7 or 8 for Kieth Courage. I forget if it were 7 or 8 then, I got to thinking about it and about how he said something about -"I might snag that..."- the TG16/6 game set in Cherryville, NC and it struck a cord with me that sounded almost heartless if that makes any sense.
To me it was as though he were saying "Hmmm! Might be able to make something off of that one, heh, heh, heh!"
So, yeah. If daddy warbucks was gonna make bigger bucks off of my stuff or anyone elses, I wanted to stick it to him.
There. I said it. You can kick me out of your Fuck Ebay group now if you want.
Nice spy work but, there is one last thing. I contacted the guy in Cherryville earlier today and told him that someone who flips games on ebay may try to rip him off and that if he wanted to sale his TG16 stuff, he should come and try to sale it here and that he'd probably get what he's asking for it.
It'll never sale on craigslist even if it is worth what he's asking so, I thought I'd do him a favor and get his stuff to go back in to the TG16 community at the same time.
I don't know if he'll come here or not because I haven't checked my e-mail yet but, I figure that if he does, he has nothing to loose.
So ARE you mlbfan10 or did he simply tell you the prices I quoted him?
First off, I feel shitty for dragging mlbfan into this. I seriously doubt he wants any part of this and it wasn't right of me to do so. Now, let's move on from that. It wasn't really spy work. I sold him an Express last weekend ($40 if you want to know). (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10972.0) He asked me for some game recommendations as he had no games and I didn't include any. I told him my suggestions. I even asked the guys in chat if anyone had any dupes to hook him up with, but no one did. He PM'd me later asking if your prices were a good deal or not. I told them that I'm probably the wrong person to ask as I have a history of overpaying for games (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8477.msg190411#msg190411). I also told him that I felt your prices were too high and I linked him ebay auctions for each of those games that were cheaper, shipped, and actually included case and manual.
That should have been it. I was happy to leave it there, but then I read your message to him accusing him of being an ebay flipper (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9400.msg205084#msg205084) and it didn't sit right with me. There was and still is absolutely no indication that he's an ebay flipper.
Then I read your posts in this thread, decrying the evils of ebay. Even that I could let slide. When you further insulted new members, suggesting they were all ebay flippers, it really started to get to me. That's cool that you are an old school fan. You aren't the only one, and I can respect that. (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8643.msg165198#msg165198) But to be shitty to someone new to the scene trying to get into turbo gaming is bullshit. Particularly when you yourself have been here a mere 2 weeks. That wasn't enough though, you had to go and post your rant about how shitty it is when people over charge someone when they know that person just wants to play the game. At this point the hypocrisy was simply too much and I said something.
So there you have it, the full story. Some of your posts I enjoy and some I think are foolish. Either way, I hope you stick around the forum and cut people some more slack in the future. As far as the fuck ebay club goes, I'm clearly not a member, so Sparky I apologize for clogging up your thread with this. What happens between the two of you doesn't really concern me.
And once again, mlbfan, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this. :(

100 Posts? How about 1000 shoutbox chats here (when there was a box) and at the freeforums site? :)
I think most people with low post counts wanting to buy games are just people who got a basic turbografx recently and want some cheap games to go along. I recently just traded with someone a spare turbografx for some other game stuff on another forum and told them they should come here to find some more games. The dude seemed pretty cool and our trade was of equal value. They posted a WTB TG16 games thread and got no replies and I know a lot of the reason is people don't want to deal with noobs in fear of them being resellers.
But in all honesty most people on here are probably searching for some games because they are too expensive due to the gouging on ebay. We all just need to be a little more careful when accusing others of this or that and thinking people might just be resellers because we don't want to run off every new person on here.
When I first joined I got some really cool deals from people because I posted some pics of me new system and how I was interested and I'm really grateful to all the cool people on here who encouraged my hobby and hope every can get the same enjoyment from being on this forum and trading and the like as I do.

And once again, mlbfan, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this. :(
Okay. Let's see here...
I saw the Turbo Express coversation and correct me if I'm wrong but, did he not say that he only had $20.00 left over in his paypal account after he made that purchase from you?
If that were the case then how was he going to "...snag..." a $150.00 boxed console/game set that's near mint that so, far hasn't sold after at least 2 months on craigslist?
I mean it's pretty clear by now that the guy isn't going to take any less than that for it so, how is mlbfan10 going to get it with just $20.00??
I would like to be able to find TG16 games on ebay cheaper than
$15.00 with case and manual shipped.
Can you show me this? Because I have searched high and low and haven't seen a deal like that in years.
I didn't outright accuse him of being a flipper. I was simply letting him know that I was wondering if he might be, because of
the way he just casually mentioned that he "...might snag that..."
TG16 set on craigslist.
It just sounded like something a big game store owner might say.
WHO else?? I don't recall suggesting that any other members were ebay flippers at all.
Please. Do refresh my memory if I'm wrong.
If I have been shitty to anyone here, they have my sincerest apologies.
Has been 2 weeks already? Hmmm.
I know that I sometimes make foolish posts but, that's because
I'm an idiot. What is it everyone says these days to cover for
their incompitance?
Oh! I remember now! I can't help it...sob... I was BORN this waaaay!
mlbfan and anyone else who's toes I have stepped on, I am truly sorry if I prejudged you and you (mlbfan10) may have any one of the 9 shabby Hus I put up for sale, free of charge with no shipping charge.
Just name the one you want and it's yours.
See, Sadler. I can play nice even if I do tend to overreact at times.
"I might snag that" sounds like someone who might have the cash for it but doesnt want to commit to a huge purchase like that if they're broke or something...
I used to do that
IVE ONLY GOT 30$. OH MAN LOOK AT THAT! I MIGHT BUY IT!1!1
and then I get out the visa and go YEAH I BOUGHT IT
then I go DAMN INTEREST.
etc.
Shrapnoid, I said what I needed to. You admitted your error, apologized and are trying to make things right. I don't have any interest in continuing this conversation, but if you must, please start a new thread and we can address it there. :)
Fuck both of you for sullying a perfectly good F@ck EBAY / wine sipping thread. Please go play in traffic.

Did you have another account on here before? Your old avatar looked really familiar. Maybe I saw it on another forum? You seem awfully comfortable on here for being around for a month.
Nope. Never been on here before. Just been around for a while. Maybe you've seen me on other forums under whatever names I chose to use there. Ask ParanoiaDragon who I am. I dropped him a hint when I first came in but, I got his name wrong. I thought he told me that it was Benjamin but, I think it might be Dennis.
EDIT: That's one of the things that sucks about getting old. Memory loss.
Hey, guys. I have a question. I spotted a loose game on ebay that caught my interest but, the price might be a bit steep.
However, I'm not completely certain of this. It's a turbochip that looks to be in good shape and it comes with the sleeve. I didn't see any scratches in the paint either.
It's around 20.00 w/free shipping.
Does anyone think that that might be pricey for a shooter that is somewhat hard to find?
Which shootie?
Oh. Alright. It's Aero Blasters
Shit Shrap, you were not kidding about the memory, i thought i was bad
shiet, what's going on in here?
I'm not quite sure but, would you give-up 20.00 for a loose Aero Blasters in nice condition?
I am not sure what Aero Blasters is worth these days. I wouldn't give that much for a loosey goosey though. Wait for a deal here.
I like Aero Blasters. It's one of the better looking chip games out there and is lots of fun. Even that hated pompeyparsons has it for cheaper (http://compare.ebay.com/like/200709097482?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y).
aeroblasters is only $20 complete usually
Okay. Just wanted some advice. I'll hold off in the hopes that a better deal will come along.
What is considered decent prices when it comes to buying boxes? Someone has boxes for sale but, he doesn't know what they're worth and wants me to make an offer but, I don't know what to offer without risking going over the limit.
Any ideas?
boxes are hard to gauge... to some i bet there worth $10-$20 a piece depending on the game but for me there $2-$5 maybe $10 for that odd sweet ass game... but i dont collect boxes so what do i know :P Shrap maybe ask this question on the main forum as its a good one man.

Okay. Just thought I'd run it by you guys first so, I don't risk breaking the club rules.
Now that you mention it, anything over 5 does sound a bit much unless it's 100% mint and you have a place to keep it where it isn't in danger of getting crushed.
the latest turboview finally got me more interested in the game, what's a good price for cadash with the case and manual, US version?
Quote from: bartre on 02/16/2012, 02:44 PMthe latest turboview finally got me more interested in the game, what's a good price for cadash with the case and manual, US version?
I'd say $20-30, depending on condition and whether it's on or off eBay.
Quote from: bartre on 02/16/2012, 02:44 PMthe latest turboview finally got me more interested in the game, what's a good price for cadash with the case and manual, US version?
Well, if you want to help keep the gouging rates down, I wouldn't go over 20 for just good condition, maybe bump it up to 25 for great condition and 30 for near mint and so on but, still even that may be considered over paying to some.
Try waiting a little longer for someone else to post their opinion before you make your choice.
well, I haven't had any real luck selling my spare boxes here,

You might have more luck with them on ebay and besides, pay day is still a ways off for me and I don't think I could really give you what you'd want for them anyway so, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you try to keep the prices reasonable based on the condition of each box.
You could post the link to your old thread here and then ask everyone what they think would be too low or too high and then go from there.
yeah, that's what i thought.
if i were to add a buy it now option, what would be fair?

I don't know. Ask Sparky.
out of curiousity what quality control is there against members here selling things at ebay prices?
For example a well established member tried to sell me JPN DH opened and used as a game should be for 50.00 when its on ebay for 50.00 sealed. I dont remember who it was and it doesnt matter at this point. Just curious?

look your taking an oath when ya sign up for this club and if someone is not going to follow it then we need to know.
Price gouging and over spending will not be tolerated and there will be consequences, and there has been in the past. Let us know about offences and will be happy to decide on punishment as a group (if there part of the club of coarse) :)
I did some pretty hefty spending at MGC a few weeks ago. In an effort to obey (get it? OBEY!) the rules I'll post prices paid if need be. Keep in mind they won't be exact as I bought in bulk to receive better deals.

Quote from: tggodfrey on 04/08/2012, 03:45 PMout of curiousity what quality control is there against members here selling things at ebay prices?
For example a well established member tried to sell me JPN DH opened and used as a game should be for 50.00 when its on ebay for 50.00 sealed. I dont remember who it was and it doesnt matter at this point. Just curious?
Terry
Assuming that you're talking about Dynastic Hero, $50 for a sealed Japanese copy is a rip-off. $50 for an open copy is highway robbery.

It has been awhile... New members are always welcome :)
cadash loose i think i payed about $12
I was going through my Sparky box of goodness and noticed that I have somehow misplaced my eBay card. :(
Ceti!!!! Sorry man I will send out a new card to you.. And new Members still wanted :)
Thinking of other Xmas goodies for our members this year :)
Still a proud member, thanks sparky! Ive noticed a lot of pro gouging and too much collecting/not enough gaming so i challenge newer members to.sign up and get down to playing their turbos and not just looking at them on a shelf.
Still a proud member. Ebay prices are fucking stupid these days. Local ads don't come up with much either, so probably time to hit up a couple local game shops on my lunch breaks to see what's up.
Proud member here, too. I don't think I've bought a single Turbob on eBay since joining. Bid on some stuff with eSnipe, but haven't won anything. Prices are just getting silly.

Agreed. The prices are getting so bat-shit insane that it's starting to make
me go bat-shit insane. It's like this site is a tiny (TINY!) island in a see of greed.
How is Necromancer still on this list? He spent $3,2600 on Magical Chase.
Holy fuckballs how did I miss this!? I must be slipping in my old age :P. Been outa the game for a bit but im back! I hate egay...always have. I dont sell on there and best yet rarely ever buy from there. I come back after some time away and I see prices now and it makes me want to :-&. How the fuck did everything triple in price in a year something!!!! Now I am trying to rebuild my turbo collection and shits so damn high...fuck these god damn hipsters and people that only are into gaming for the $$. Its about the FUN OF THE GAME!
Anywho i'd love to sign up if I can! Good seeing ya again Sparks!

that's kinda why i like it here.
i'm so glad i've got *most* of the TG stuff I want already, mostly via this place right here.
starting to doubt i'm ever getting a US Valis III.
I don't like ebay for games, Even Turbo and SNES Stuff
OSG I have your address and will send out your card with your laser disc, have not forgot.
And the rest of you f eBay fuckers I will announce a gift for you guys on November 1st :) and like NecroPhile said I am handing out gold star member cards as well to some long time members :)
you should send out some "1 year coins"
staying away from ebay like my business professor has to stay away from booze.
You should have a f@ck amazon too while you are at it. Amazon turbo prices are almost identical to Ebay prices. Might have to join this elite group someday...

I do not own a copy of Magical Chase, nor would I ever spend $3,2600 (or whatever crazy sum you were trying to type) on a game. Duh.

$3,200 was the price it sold for recently on ebay. Your post, when I saw it, did not seem sarcastic, it seemed quite genuine that you were happy to get it for less than your $4,000 bid.

How you'd expect people to get that post was sarcastic is beyond me.
EDIT: Wow, I did hellishly mistype. It was $3,206, not $3,2600, which is apparently a rare version of the atari 2600.
DarkKobold you are one serious dude, i think a lot of people knew he was joking, but whatever now ya know.

That's where actually looking around/trying to learn/acclimate to a place is SO much better than flailing around damn near out the gate ;)
For someone that claims to know me so well (about how I spend all my time attacking others and have never sold or given anything away here), you'd think you'd have recognized that for the obvious sarcasm that it was and that there's no way that I'd bought that M.C. I guess you don't know me quite as well as you thought, eh?
I guess I can join... but I've never bought or sold on eBay in my life. :D
Ebays been a mixed bag...
I got fucked over on one Turbo game (Keith Courage) on eBay. Seller said complete, wasn't complete. No hucard sleeve or comic that came with the game. Had make an offer, started at 7, he worked me to 10 saying it was complete. It wasn't. When haggleing deal, wouldn't take "it's a pack-in title, it came with every TG" as an excuse. I should have paid $5 shipped honestly. Had a glue spot holding card to case, cleaned up and put on replacement sleeve.
On the other hand, I got a cheap lot of 2 games and Tennekoe Bank for $7 shipped from HK. They're used but it's not that bad.
I'd rather shop here honestly. I just got a white PCE/Tennokoe 2 and controller from Mishran. Which was a hell of a lot easier and cheaper than eBay.
I come fresh from the SNES/Super Famicom world, where games like Milons Secert Castle 2 are like $140 cib. Even Zelda 3 is getting up there these daysand it's one of the most common games on the system.
Yeah KC is a $5 game at the most.
FYI-That glue in the case under the Hu Card was supposed to be there.

I know, I just put the sleeve there and cleaned the residue off the HuCard. It's still there actually.
Sounds like you didn't know the game had a comic when you bought it.
Milon's Secret Castle 2?

I had two copies of Milon's Secret Castle. Does that count as 2?

Recruiting? where do I sign up, I'm still arguing over getting everything listed in my last sale from California, meanwhile my shipment from a Japaneese site, arrived before his and had everything listed in the sale. Bottom feeders selling on ebay seriously. F@ck Ebay. F@ck Ebay. F@ck Ebay.
I LOVE EBAY...... That unopened skid of 1000s of Magical Chase games I have will be worth $1.00 after I get done with ebay MUAH HAHA
Hahaha...Turboswimbz and who ever else wants in just Pm me your address and your eBay handle and I will check ya out 8)
Oh the club is not dead... Look what I made for the f eBay crew... Coming this Xmas 8)
(Just the box and it is just the first one, will get even better with some corrections :) )
/null_zpse5c52faf.jpg
I'll take one! Even though I will never own the game if things keep going the way they are. Maybe if I can track down the PCE version I could use the box. Either way nice job, Sparky! :D
Looks beautiful!
Now if we could only synthesize the Hu-Card. :-k
Jesus Sparky, that looks amazing!
Awesome!
Nice work
sweet, now to make a display box, and fake Grading sticker. :D
Heh, farkler box. So silly yet I want one (for teh humping). :lol:
Quote from: NecroPhile on 09/30/2013, 10:46 AMHeh, farkler box. So silly yet I want one (for teh humping). :lol:
Hahaha.. Ya man it's just a box but wait! There's more..................a fucking function!!
It will have a cardboard base inside at the bottom( similar to those styrofoam pieces) to hold your generic cd or tg case & game, I made the box just like the tgcd boxes so it will hold it perfectly. These will be dirt cheap like under $5 and I will give some out for frees once I get them perfect.
It just offers another shelving solution for the guys that need that, no fucking way should people be paying $200 for a cardboard box, just trying to help stop the insanity!

A thing of beauty man! Thank you for creating this! I'll be definitely picking one up.
Mind telling your trade secrets? I always wanted to do some NES boxes for homebrew.
Sweet. It would be cool if we could get a whole pcfx special version of boxes featuring artwork from the likes of members here to replace the terrible north american box art. I'd pay for a le turbo doodle box art, or a rolfmao kc awesomeness box.
Quote from: Psycho Punch on 09/30/2013, 11:51 AMMind telling your trade secrets? I always wanted to do some NES boxes for homebrew.
Not much in trade secrets.. Find a good reliable print supplier that prints on a good quality card stock, some design skills so you can scan and colour correct and make I die line to follow for cutting, beable to use a cutting knife for cutting and scoring... ( I am an exacto ninja by the way) and patience as these things take time cutting and building by hand. I can get into exact stock and more boring details just pm me and I will be happy to share man.
I sent you a message, thanks!
Sparks! That MC box looks amazing!

Looks amazing. Wow, I see Sparky eventually making all the boxes. =)
Yeah Sparky that looks crazy awesome! Now delete all traces indicating that you made it and go over to Neo-Geo.com to sell it. Tell em' $2k due to vintage game inflation.
Good God that is beautiful! The colours really pop.
When are you going to start making HU card trays? ;) If only we could find a reliable source.
are these marked anywhere that they were made for the pcefx forum or f ebay club to call out any possible future shenanigans or mix ups?
Haha, thanks guys.. And I am just finalizing some things, but not to worry Punk there is a small disclaimer on it and also the copy on the back of the box is a bit soft, I am going to leave it that way so there is a see able difference as this home brew really does look close to the original.
I hope to have a raffle for a few of them by next weekend for the f eBay members that are interested :)
I'm so pumped, I just received my club card in the mail yesterday. Thanks Sparky! I'm now a proud member of the club and will give Ebay the evil eye at every opportunity.
My wife thought the whole thing was hilarious when I explained it all to her.
Sparky, if you ever copy the manual please keep me in mind. It would go nicely with my everdrive.
Of Magical Chase? He's done a folded insert for it.
I like the full manual to flip through. never understood why.
If i knew someone who trusted me with their manual i would have one made.

Bucci or DragonDan may. I believe they both have it.
Bucci doesnt really know me and I am sure isnt going to just hand it over...lol
Dan doesnt.
Chaney does but I am sure he keeps it well hidden...lol
