Bonk 3 [SCD] For Sale (New) ...::: SOLD :::...

[i2rbo]

Greetings everyone,

Up for sale is a Bonk 3 Super CD (new, factory sealed) that I originally purchased from TZD in 2000. This was when they still had a great selection of games and accessories. About a week after they had sent it I called to let them know it hadn't arrived. They sent out another copy with FedEx; I received that one and then the original shipment arrived, so I wound up with two. Photos available to those genuinely interested. PM me for details.

Fantastic forum from what I've seen so far, glad to be here...



SOLD

Here they are. Please view them in their actual size.

[PCEngineHell]

And so you dishonestly kept the 2nd copy instead of paying them for the double, or returning it? Heh. I'd almost care if not for the fact that TZD became assholes in their final days. Funny either way I suppose.

Stardate Armageddon, thats what. Go check the FS section of the forum for moar infos.

[SMF]

Just curious what you was asking?

[MotherGunner]

I was Ebay-quoted so I had to pass.  Good luck on the sale and to anyone interested.

Yeah me to

[RoyVegas]

post what he quoted and compare.

[MotherGunner]

post what he quoted and compare.

Not worth it.  Last person that came through here wanting Ebay prices got quite the talking to, starting with me.  I don't have the energy nor care moving forward.

[TheClash603]

Ebay less 15% is a fair start here.  Save on fees by selling here and you pass those savings to the community.  Everyone wins in that scenario, seller nets the same profit and buyer saves 15%.

[tggodfrey]

so he paid 45.00 and now wants 250?

[SignOfZeta]

No, he paid nothing and now wants $250.

If you can get the post office to insure a package for a zillion dollars, I'll give you a zillion dollars for it.

Would have been nice to have a new member here.  Too bad...

No, he paid nothing, registered to PCEFX just to sell the shit he got for free, ripping off TZD and is now asking 250, maybe more.

[Keith Courage]

Around $250 seems to be the going price right now. If that isn't cool with you then don't buy. Simple as that. No need to complain.

But did we even confirm 250 was what he's asking?

[VestCunt]

If he's quoting ebay, then he's certainly asking way more than $250. $250 is middle-of-the-road ebay rip-off. Anyone quoting ebay is probably looking for $300-350 (unsold BINs or the highest listing ever on pricecharting). Finally, those are normal gouging prices for used copies - no one knows what an ULTRA R@RE SEALED Bonk 3 is worth. The sky's the limit.

Vestcunt you are right on the money as far as how much he was looking to get for this game.

[bob]

I figured $250 must have been a bit low. I was expecting it to be $500.

[shubibiman]

The price is not a problem, the problem is he just registered here to get big money on someone of us reselling a game he got in an awkard manner.

[TheClash603]

The last copy of this game sold on ebay for $350 and it wasn't sealed.  If this guy did indeed ask $250, he has my approval.

Evidently he asked for more then that according to the above.

[EvilEvoIX]

Tough selling these days.  What is a fair price and who determines the value on this site?

Your only recourse these days is to attack flea markets and garage sales.  That or wait for desperation to set in on certain collectors who need cash.  No matter what we are all predictors.  Bonk 3 cd is $250?  No idea it can get that high but I am here to learn.

[Bernie]

I was actually going to buy this.    But the deal fell through.  Damnit.... 

[NightWolve]

And so you dishonestly kept the 2nd copy instead of paying them for the double, or returning it? Heh. I'd almost care if not for the fact that TZD became assholes in their final days. Funny either way I suppose.

This actually happened to me with YesAsia.com and a purchase for "Magna Carta", a Korean PC game. First package got lost by USPS, so I contacted them and they sent me another one with UPS Ground which arrived on time. About a whole month later though, the USPS package mysteriously shows up on my doorstep. So what to do ?? I notify them about it and ask what would be the process to return it. I wanted them to send me a pre-paid shipment sticker or something, but they wanted me to go ahead and get it shipped myself, pay whatever, then prove what was paid to get that money paid back to me, so I never did anything. To have to drive to and from the Post Office, pay whatever, photocopy a receipt and wait for them to pay me back only the shipping cost, it just wasn't worth it... I made some effort at least. ;) If they had sent me a paid label with USPS, I wouldn't have to drive anywhere, just next time I saw the postman delivering mail, I could just hand it to him. But they didn't wanna do it that way, so too bad.

Around $250 seems to be the going price right now. If that isn't cool with you then don't buy. Simple as that. No need to complain.

Everyone is entitled to either praise OR criticize his pricing. The criticizing is the basis for haggling. You're selectively asking that people keep quiet or something, the ole "mind your own business" but only if they find the price too high. Rather unAmerican actually...

[PCEngineHell]

When it comes to issues like that, I will give them a chance to prepay for the label, which they have always done. A "real" up and up professional business with good customer service would never ask you to spend your own money. This has rarely happened to me though either way. Got no idea what all the circumstances surrounding this one are, but it seems dubious at best. Dont really care, just think its funny he would admit to such a tale, then ask for ebay prices to boot.

Ah OK, so that is the proper procedure. I figured as much. That was the one and only time that it happened to me, and yeah, I kept it, but I was reluctant to pay for somebody else's mistake (USPS) and it would've meant driving to and from the nearest Post Office or UPS for something that wasn't my fault. With a pre-paid USPS label, I could just hand it to the postman next time he was at my block or front door doing his mailing rounds.

Well, I guess we're not supposed to complain. Don't like his price, just take it or leave it per all that seller protectionist rhetoric. I assume we can say positive things about asking prices, just not negative (complain/criticize), that's when you're supposed to mind your own business (according to sellers, that is).

Mods. Please block the seller of this thread:

here s copy and paste of message from the seller:

I apologize but I don't accept Paypal. I will accept a money transfer via MoneyGram or Western Union. Does this work for you? I'll send you the personalized photos before payment is made, but I need you to confirm since I have other potential buyers. MG and WU charge a fee when sending so I'm willing to drop the price to 300 shipping included.

I have a fair amount of HuCards, CD's and SCD's. The ones I'm willing to sell at the moment are:

Air Zonk - used ... 30
Blazing Lazers - used ... 20
Bonk's Revenge - used ... 20
Fighting Street (CD) - new (not sealed, but never played) ... 20
Samurai Ghost - new (not sealed, but never played) ... 20

* I'm the original owner of every game. All games are the U.S. version. The used ones are complete (manual, original case, HuCard sleeve). Personalized photos will be sent as soon as we commit to a deal. Shipping is also free for these games as long as they're ordered along with Bonk 3.

* I purchased Samurai Ghost around the same time as Bonk 3. I removed the shrink wrap because it was sticky and had a few tears, but I've never played the game. The box is in mint condition.

* Fighting Street was purchased from TZD. It did not come sealed, but it is indeed new and I've never played it (I already had a copy).

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks cya..

Yea.....  That's not a scam or anything....

[i2rbo]

Excuse me, but why should I be blocked? You asked me if I was selling other games and I kindly sent you a list. What's the problem?... that I don't accept Paypal? Could someone please explain why wmacmonagle is calling for me to be banned?

Is it the low price of the other games compared to Bonk 3? All of those games are duplicates and used or open box.

I've sold many items - mostly movies, music and video game gear - this way for a couple of years now. I simply don't do ebay/Paypal. What's wrong with my PM to wmacmonagle?

Thanks

Generally most scams are done through a money wiring services.  The buyer has no protection what-so-ever should you not send the games.  Plus the suspect: Open but still new doesn't help here either, even if true. I suggest you offer some other form of payment which will provide some kind of protection for you buyer. especially at $300 +.

[wmacmonagle]

i have no problem paying $300 upon your request but only through any protection and especially all scammer required wire money.  I apologize.

1.  New member
2.  Trying to sell that require $300 or up
3.  Wire money

Those 3 at combinated consider scammer to 99% to the forum members including myself.  Paypal is a protector not just for buyer but including both seller and buyer.  I think it s win win situation.

If you accept paypal transaction.. you get paid.

thanks again.  

I didnt mean any disrespect but to protect the PCFX and other Forum Community from getting ripped off.  Thanks bud

That's no reason to ban me. I have not/will not scam anyone. I've used Paypal as a buyer a handful of times and on two occassions I got burned. Most people use Paypal, not MG or WU and as such most scams actually occur on Paypal.

If any mods are reading this please don't jump to conclusions and ban me. I was so glad to have finally gotten approved as a member and I wouldn't want to get banned over nothing.

Thank you

In response to your 3 points:

1. Everyone was a new member at some point. I don't have time to rack up 1,000 posts in order to gain trust points. I have a family of my own and I need to unload certain things in my collection.

2. That's what it's worth to at least half of Turbo fans. I'm sorry, but a sealed Bonk 3 CD will never be $50.

3. I don't do Paypal. There are as many Paypal/Ebay detractors as there are MoneyGram/Western Union haters.

Personally if I was a mod I'd ban you simply for signing up to sell, providing no references to prove you are a solid seller, providing a story that makes your obtaining of said goods for sale seem dubious, no pics of said items for sale, then asking for buyers to pay via means that are totally unprotected on ebay prices, and also listing items as new when they have been unsealed. In regards to Paypal, Paypal at least offers some seller protection, and can fight chargebacks. I know this from being using paypal for over 10 years now. There is zero protection on a money transfer. If anyone here is stupid enough to go through with one on a just signed up seller like yourself, their risk is their own however. Its the year 2013. Get over it already and use paypal. You have no rep here, so you cant seriously expect anyone to mail you cash or do any kind of money transfer. In the end, buyer beware.

[i2rbo]

I NEVER asked anyone to send me money beforehand. I'm willing to provide photos to anyone interested and we'll take it from there. I'm a serious seller and luckily I have some serious potential buyers. Your comment and sarcasm are out of place.

3. I don't do Paypal. There are as many Paypal/Ebay detractors as there are MoneyGram/Western Union haters.

Oh, people hate Paypal a LOT more. The thing is, Paypal covers your deal. If you want WU then you better send the item before payment. The people dumping on your thread here have YEARS of buying and trading credentials. You have nothing.

Since you are new here (if you are in fact new, and not some old jerk with a new ID) then you probably don't understand our #1 problem with new members; that a large portion come here only to dump their crap. No reputation, no credentials, they don't give two fucks for Turbo until they learn its worth money and they come here with a post count of 1 and want top dollar. And these are the good guys, the bad guys don't even have the items, or they aren't as described.

And this just happens over and over and over again. At least once a month, sometimes once a week.

In your case you actually told us you didn't pay for the game so that's pretty weird. Not because you stole the game, but because you didn't think anyone would have a problem with you stealing the game...from TZD even. I'm not sure your ethics are in line with others here or even your average guy on the street.

I hope you are real. I hope you get your profit margin of infinity. In reality, whoever gets a $250 Bonk 3 is getting hosed anyway since its a pretty mediocre thing, but hopefully they at least get it.

As I said before, I will provide personalized photos to serious buyers BEFORE any sort of payment is made. Everyone has different experiences; as I mentioned in a previous post I've been burned by bad sellers using Paypal, but I've never had a wire transfer go wrong.

If you're serious you should know that I only accept MoneyGram or Western Union. I'm waiting on one potential buyer. If the deal doesn't happen I'll post photos of the game (front and back) next to a label with your username. Are you still interested?

Thanks to those who have been positive!

I am real, the game is real and as far as your review of Bonk 3... that's your opinion and I'm sure you're in the minority. The Bonk series is a fantastic one, thought I admit greatly underrated, with Bonk 3 being the best of the bunch.
