Quote from: Nulltard on 01/18/2017, 12:41 PMDon't let the price police of this site intimidate you.  They are just jealous and poor.  I am a high-end collector and understand that quality comes with a price.

PM sent.
Dam Nulltard.  You beat me to it.  I was just about to PM him offering $1,350 for Air Zonk.  Oh well.

Dude, don't you know...

The sellers pay shipping on this site.

Quote from: guest on 01/16/2017, 06:53 AMWhat is the point in making stupid offers of $50 and asking the seller to cover shipping? It's pointless. In future don't bother wasting your own and the sellers time.
Seller always covers shipping here on this site.  Don't you know that?  What a newb.   :roll:

Quote from: mjsaville on 01/10/2017, 03:37 PMHappy to ship to UK & Europe only, I will accept PayPal Gift or personal cheque (uk bidders only). Goods will be shipped within 24hs of cleared payment along with a tracking reference where applicable.
I have a friend from the UK.  Can I have it shipped to him?

And I don't cover the shipping cost.  On this site the seller covers that.

Quote from: tbone3969 on 01/08/2017, 12:55 PMYes that's the one.  I paid $150 so the cheapest I can let it go for would be $160.

And it's not mint by any means.  The disc is but the instructions and map show moderate to heavy wear.
and there lies the whole problem with our world we are in now.  i bought it for "x"  so i must sell it for "x+"
never admit they paid too much to begin with, just cant accpet "losing money".
dont get me wrong, you dont have to sell it at all, but your tactics are just horrible.  i bet you would charge him shipping too.
Yes, I would charge shipping.  I wouldn't take a hit on the shipping cost.  Buyer always pays shipping no?
#263
Yes your right.  So I would let it go for $155.

Glad you are making sure you "hook up the community who hooked you up". Mark it up and resell it.
Hey I just don't wanna lose money.  Remember PayPal takes 3%.  If he would gift me the money then I would sell it for $150.

Is the PC Engine map identical to the US version?

OP, what's your bounty?  I have a CIB US version with map I might be willing to part with for the right price.   :evil:

Technically, you can. But it has to be TED 2.4 or higher.
I do have one.  I wonder how to get this up and running.  I did a quick Google search and found nothing.  I will keep searching.  Thanks.
That's because I or others haven't gotten around to it yet. It just requires a hacked sys card image, a dump of sys card ram of the original game, and few bits of prep code  - voila! Instant Force Gear rom.
Gotcha.  I wish I went to school for coding.  Would be cool to learn the basics.

I might bid on this one.  Seems like a decent price.

Save utility on disc....  sounds interesting.  I have been searching the net for it.  I can't find it but I found a patch for the Tolkemi game that might work.  I will test it later.

Lolololololol
I know it's funny but just to clarify it was always one buyer interested.  He offered $150.  I would have taken it but I figured I would try to milk some more out of him.  I countered with $160 and he came back with $155 as a final offer.  Deal was almost done until he asked "Will the white dot below the "R" wipe of or is it permanent?"  As soon as he asked this I knew the deal was dead in the water.  I should have just used a sharpie to fill it in.  He never would have known but I am not shady like that.
#281
Well shit.  My potential buyer backed out because of the white dot below the "R" on the card.  #-o   

He wants one in better condition.  So the sale is back on.  PM me with any offers.  Serious inquiries only please.  lol.... This is gonna be hilarious.

QuoteI have thought about this and your right in the sense that people should be judged by their actions, that's for sure.

So besides buying games for cheap, and trying to get max fair value, and acting like you're just a little slow, what else have you done for this community? O Raffle off a few Cheap games and pick up legit titles for way less than market value.
Check my numerous posts where I tried to help members who had trouble burning discs or getting their system up and running.  I have also posted about current games I am playing and my opinions on games.

QuoteSee your are not trustworthy because once you get something in your mind to confirm/make you want to sell Lords/1941/ect. you will, and won't pass the deal on to the community to leech off of. Instead your giving shit to some collectard Marketing fuck of a friend you have that I am sure now is poor/Dying of cancer/Never got loved as a kid.
My friend is fine and for the most part doesn't sell his stuff.  He still has his original NES from when he was a kid.  And I still have a ton of stuff from my teenage years.  I haven't sold them in over 20 years and have no plans to barring an emergency situation.

Hulk Hogan is the man.  A true American icon.  I have always loved him and always will.  I have liked him through his entire career but I do think his NWO run, for me at least, was his most memorable.  I'm a Hulkamanaic for life!

Quote from: guest on 12/15/2016, 05:22 PMIf you truly do lack common sense, it should still be obvious why attempting to profit from flipping a homebrew game, that you never even bothered to try playing, is frowned upon. Even if you lack human emotions and empathy, you should have learned enough from reading posts here to anticipate the reactions of the normals, instead of justifying any actions by the fact that the only consequence is social.
Ok you got me there as I assume you mean the Mysterious Song I currently have up on eBay for $50.  You know what...  I am gonna take it down right now and raffle it here.  I was trying to think of a game to raffle and you just made it easy for me to decide.  Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure his statement was based solely on what you may or may not do with Lords of Thunder.

Lordy, you're one dumb son of a bitch.
Hmmm... Well I also didn't flip the pressed PCE Works discs I picked up here.  Come to think of it I don't believe, I'd have to check, that I have ever flipped anything I have bought off this site.  Yes I did "flip" the sealed Dragon Slayer that I bought off eBay.  I admit it.  The horror of it.  I should be burned at the stake lol. 

Did I flip the 1941 I bought off of MNKyDeth on this site for $400?  Nope, still have it.  That's coming with me to my grave lol.

Quote from: tbone3969 on 12/14/2016, 04:58 PMSo let's use logic to evaluate this claim.  I buy items under market value and sell them at a higher value.  Now I didn't force anyone to sell at a lower value.  They are willing to do this.  Also, people are willing to pay the higher price.  No one is forcing them.  Why is this wrong?  I am a businessman.  That's what I went to school for and I have a finance job.  I like to make money.  I have a wife and young daughter to support. 
100% confirmed flipper with this statement.  I have no problem with people who get shit at garage sales and the like, and then sell them for a bit of profit. But buying from a community just to resell back to the same community at a higher price, with the only reason being you were the first to PM someone is pretty lame.
- How many times do I have to say this.  I AM NOT FLIPPING LORDS OF THUNDER.  I AM GIVING IT AWAY TO MY FRIEND AS A GIFT.  My user tag on NA and eBay is the same as here, tbone3969.  Track the sales on those forums to see it is not getting listed.  I bought all the PCE Works pressed discs that were offerred up here and none of those ever got sold on NA or eBay.


Quote from: tbone3969 on 12/15/2016, 10:54 AMJust for the record I bought my sealed Dragon Slayer off of eBay from some guy in Europe and then I sold it to someone on NA.  Nothing was processed through this site.


I seem to remember you originally saying you had gotten a second free copy of Dragon Slayer from TTi sealed back in the day and that's why you were selling it?  Where is the truth?
- I don't know why you think this.  I wish I received a sealed Dragon Slayer for free.  I paid for my copy.

I'll just have to ask some guys that know anything about wrestling I suppose....

It's a shame that he knocked Brett Hart out of wrestling because he didn't know how to wrestle properly.  Kicked Hart so hard it ended his career.

Keep it coming.  I love the heat.  I'm kinda like a modern day Andy Kaufman.  The fact that I can get people so enraged by buying a few games for cheap and posting my thoughts on a forum is fascinating to me.  Kinda like how heels get the crowd so mad in wrestling.  Always loved the heels.

Quote from: Otaking on 12/14/2016, 04:48 PMDude you sell items such as Dragon Slayer and Mysterious Song trying to milk the absolute maximum value you possibly can get. Then come on here and snap up bargains such as Lords of Thunder being sold for half market value to forum members.

Sell high, buy low, it's great ethic i guess.
So let's use logic to evaluate this claim.  I buy items under market value and sell them at a higher value.  Now I didn't force anyone to sell at a lower value.  They are willing to do this.  Also, people are willing to pay the higher price.  No one is forcing them.  Why is this wrong?  I am a businessman.  That's what I went to school for and I have a finance job.  I like to make money.  I have a wife and young daughter to support. 

I do the same thing in the stock market.  Or at least I try.  No one has a crystal ball. 

It seems to me that buying low and selling high is just good business.  I just don't know how this makes me a bad person?  And, by the way, I am giving the LOT away as a Xmas gift to a good friend of mine.  I am also giving him a TurboGrafx 16 system with all the hook ups and the CD Base attachment so he has AV Composite out access.  He is on his own to get the CD player however.  I can send pics of us playing the system together if you guys want.  Might make for a cool and interesting thread.  I am seeing him and his family on the 26th.  Spending Christmas day with my immediate family.
Please stop.

Profiteering is profiteering.

Stop justifying bullshit.

If you don't understand why we have a problem with profiteering in a hobby we love, then you are ignorant.

However, I suspect you are feigning ignorance because you know that pretending to be an imbecile is less morally repugnant than openly admitting that you are a slimy, unctuous profiteer.

The fact that I took the time to explain this, albeit with a harsh, judgmental tongue, is my way of saying: please stop digging yourself deeper into a pit of shite.

I might be naive, but I think we could actually talk about the content and culture of video games themselves.
Well said.

You say "I'm a Businessman", to let you know this forum is not a business opertunity, it's a forum for enthusiasts to discuss a common interest and sometimes it's members help each other out by offering below market value deal to help others enjoy the games not to help a "businessman" make a great deal.
Ok well that was never explained to me when I joined.  This also seems to be a unique position for a site like this to be in as other similar sites I have done business on aren't like this one (NA, IsoZone, eBay, etc). 
This forum is nothing like NA or eBay.
Why do think CPTRAVE sold those games on here at those prices?? he could of easily jumped on eBay and got twice as much, this wasn't some clever business move you made, you exploited someone's kindness who was trying helpout fellow forum members.
Well do you feel the same knowing that I am not selling the LOT and giving it to a friend who wants a TurboGrafx?  Your argument kinda breaks down in this case as I am not re-selling it.

I do chime in on other threads besides buying and selling threads on here as well.  Mods can check my usage to prove it.  Even recently I have given advice to members when they needed help getting their system up and running.  I have also raffled off a game and will be doing another raffle after Xmas.
