2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

Picked up a PCE Duo from Keith recently, arrived in beautiful shape and running smoothly. Couldn't be more pleased!

It seems like much of the backlash comes from two points:

1) I'm not a contributing member of the forum.

2) My prices are too high for this forum ("asks outrageous prices for games that regular members literally give away.").

To be honest - and I've been honest since the beginning - I feel my contribution on any forum is what I have to offer for sale. If nobody feels like my prices are good, I won't sell anything and I'll move on (I've made sales here regularly since the day I joined). I don't participate in any forum beyond this capacity. Ultimately, this is another sales venue for me because, yes, I do run a business. As I've said repeatedly here, literally everything I offer here sells for more on other venues. I understand that a $205 new Somer Assault does not sit will with some of you but please understand that I've sold several at $225 on other venues (and those venues get their cut). That goes for every item available here.

That some members have given away sealed games is very generous but as a business, it's obviously not a winning strategy.

Shenmue - I've sold more than 11 copies of Shenmue in the last few months because...that's what I do for a living. The $240 unit was an LE unit, by the way.

I'd rather open up more avenues to move merchandise by offering it at fee-less prices than sell strictly on Ebay but I'll move on from PCEFX (never an issue anywhere else). I don't have the time or energy to defend what I shouldn't have to defend. For many of you, this is a coup of sorts. No grudges held, met a handful of solid dudes and made a few deals. C'est la vie !

Quote from: DrOrangejuicer on 07/25/2015, 01:59 AMLadies, gentlemen! I am selling a BRAND NEW Bonk! Not a beat up hu-card! This is all spelled out in plain English! Y'ALL ARE BESMIRCHING MY NAME :!:
Only completed auction on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BONKS-ADVENTURE-Hu-Card-Game-for-NEC-Turbo-Grafx-16-Factory-Sealed-MINT-/221784853998?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a3684dee

Went for $55. The rest of the listings are BINs at $80+ in-line with what you're selling your copy for.
That's not the only completed listing. Here are three of mine:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TurboGrafx-16-TG16-Bonks-Adventure-BRAND-NEW-FACTORY-SEALED-/251973088289?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aaac43421

+ one another that a dude sold for $80.

Seriously, I sell these for $90 on Ebay and Amazon. I've sold them for months. My stock is well under half what it was when I first acquired these. While some folks here complain about $80, people everywhere else actually pay $90.

So much haaaasslin' around here, jeeeeeeez.

Edit: ahhahaha, just realized I have these at 90 here. MY BAD! Back to 80!

Quote from: akamichi on 06/30/2015, 06:58 AMHi all.  I just wanted to post to say I had a great experience buying from thisIsLoneWolf.  He answered all my emails very quickly and was flexible with payment as well.

Everything was packed up securely and he really put in the extra effort to make sure everything arrived without a scratch.

Bottom line:  thisIsLoneWolf is an excellent seller and pretty cool person.  This is probably the smoothest deal I've done in a long time.  Buy with confidence!

Thanks again!

I think same way, cool seller!
Here as well, super smooth transaction and everything was packed perfectly.

Adjusted the list to include only inexpensive titles, all with prices.

Actual gameplay footage of FALCON:
Sure to please!

Quote from: MotherGunner on 06/26/2015, 08:55 PMHighly reticent to even make an offer.  Your prices are too high and I can't do $80 on PM2 just because it's sealed (no disrespect intended).  Good luck with the sale.
I get not paying sealed prices but I'm generally priced below Ebay on everything. I can do $21 shipped on PM2, for example. I can't compete with CIB but that's hardly my fault.

Quote from: bartre on 06/16/2015, 06:22 PMI'm just wondering what's gonna happen to the price of a copy of shenmue.
well, we all know, it's just how badly it's gonna get fucked.
Went from a $40 CIB game to an $80-100 CIB game overnight. I have some sealed copies left and saw a spike in interest, now I know why. It'll cool down within a few weeks, imo.

Never been a fan of the series but people do seem to love it. Neat to see a sequel finally happen.
How nice of you to use your first non-Sales post to let us all know that you are sitting on a stack of sealed copies of this suddenly highly sought after game.
NOT TRUE! Somebody asked about some OILY JOYSTICKS awhile back and BAM, there I was with INFORMATION. So, like, this is AT LEAST my second non-sales post. [time lapse in which I check my posts] ANOTHER! Somebody wanted to know about Dreamcast accessory prices and I was happy to assist - and I didn't even try to sell him a VMU! And wait until I get my Galaga 90 score up!!

But look, if you just wanted a good price on Shenmue you could have just PMed me.

:D

Added a new JPN Gamecube.

Price drop on the import lot, please don't make me split it up. :(
#22
Still have the Genny controllers, added an import lot.
#24
Buy this beat up Silent Debuggers! I COMMAND THEE.
#25
Maracas out, PS2 games out!

Next up: Genny controller lot. Buy it today!
#26
Maracas pending out, added DC bundles.
#27
Genny/32X/CD gone, MARACAS NOW UP.
#29
Super annoying and it actually does happen to PS2 controller as well. Iirc (and I often recall incorrectly), this occurs after prolonged periods of disuse and is a lubricant used inside the controller and not a component of the rubber cap.

Quote from: MotherGunner on 05/28/2015, 05:44 PMNo offense but these asking prices could start WWZ.
All sealed and I offer them for less here than you're likely to find elsewhere (and I've actually sold multiple copies of every game listed here at higher prices elsewhere). Sure, you might wait it out long enough to get something cheaper from some dude taking photos with his flip phone and listing them as $0.99 auctions on Ebay, but in general I think my asking prices are defensible. Not everyone is down with minty sealed games - and that's fine - but they do command a premium.

And no offense taken. Sealed games are expensive and impractical but some people go for it. I like CIB, some dudes just have an everdrive. Let us celebrate our differences, not fight over them! :D
#31
Quick quantity/pricing update:

R-Type - Down to two copies! :o
Somer Assault - Down to three copies and they're all ON SALE! Sale ends when it ends!

The Splatts are all gone, everyone. ttfn, splatts.

Between the title changes and this, I've been laughing constantly through this thread. I think your prices are pretty darn good. Welcome to the forums. I'll be in touch as soon as I get back from re-fying my trailer with Coldwell Banker.
My goal is to sell sealed games here and NOT get lynched...I think I'm doing it right! :DD

Alternative to that re-fi --- DRIVE ME YOUR TRAILER 1:1 EXCHANGE :!:

Quote from: VenomMacbeth on 02/28/2015, 08:26 PMA copy of Quake III Arena fell into my lap & I'm wanting to experience the game properly...along with the copy of Half-Life I'm gonna burn for it.  I'm curious, how much does that hardware run for these days?
DC accessories are still pretty cheap and common, thankfully. You can get a new Innovation/used Sega keyboard for around $20 shipped and a mouse for around $10-15 shipped. Some options:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-DreamCast-Mouse-Free-Shipping-/151579587552?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item234ad8f3e0

Bundle option with other stuff, could end up being a good deal if you want the other items:

World Sports is gone but how about a ROUGHED UP Silent Debuggers????????????
#42
Last copy of World Sports Competition!
#43
If you're primarily interested in experience, look into Game Gears and Nomads. Going to be much easier to find and, especially in the case of the former, more inexpensive. Both units notorious for bad caps.

Why not unseal a Bonk or a SPLAT :?: If you like, I can put a sticker on it that says RADIO SHACK $100. :D
