[escarioth]

woah , great games there 

[NightWolve]

Man, I should've bought DEII from TurboZoneDirect when I had the chance... Had no idea the eBay effect (a swarm of wmacs arriving + big-spenders) was gonna eventually result in tons of CD games >$99...

[jtucci31]

Just sent ya a pm!

[bob]

What the fuck is up with these stupid inflated values of cotton?

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Another guy looking for ebay prices..... fucking awesome. 

[ifkz]

This is a bit off topic, but....For that price I would rather put the money towards finding an original Sega system 16b Cotton arcade board.  $280 is almost budget enough for for a cheap cab ($100) and the board ($200ish).

It will work in any System 16 wired arcade cab like my Altered Beast:

(.....I own a Cotton arcade board...)

[wmacmonagle]

Fair price on DeII and Cotton.

I sold mine both each for $300+ship.  dont let them troll you up!..  GLWS

[bob]

recent sale history is what im referring to. not just this thread.
if you pay 280, i want the fish back. 

[o.pwuaioc]

Mindrec's website say it costs $20 now.

[bob]

that image doesn't make it right.
And congratulations...you found 10 people dumber than you are.  And an 11th that just missed it by $8.34

[Nazi NecroPhile]

The price on Cotton & DEII are pretty fair, IMO, compared to recent sale history.

Recent sales show he's at the bottom end of ebay pricing, except here he gets to the keep the fees (10%).  This dude has bought much of his collection from this very forum, always begging us to help him out and get a better deal, and this is how he repays the favor.

But I digress.  Talking to you about pricing is like talking to a brick wall. 

[escarioth]

Just look at loom on ebay...i guess it doubled the price....5 or 6 months ago it was easy to find it at 20-25$...now its over 50-60 and thats not even counting shipping

i should have bough that damn game when it wasnt at the end of a fishing line

I havent bought much of anything from members here, so that statement isnt true. My cotton and DE2 were bought years ago and that is why i asked about cotton before i listed these game. The high price they fetch on ebay seemed outrageous to me so that is why i went on the lower end of that spectrum. Sorry if it feels like im part of the "problem", but that is why i didnt list it on ebay for a price of 300 and up.

I will get everyones pm's tonight and list all my complete boxed games as well. Think there are around 44. Jumping out of collecting for this great system due to financial constraints. It sucks, but shit happens and i'm trying to make the best of it. I feel like probably most of you about jacked ebay prices. That is why im not taking any of my items there and posting them on this forum and AtariAge forum.

[Lochlan]

I'm kind of surprised at the reaction here.  The price on Cotton & DEII are pretty fair, IMO, compared to recent sale history.

100% agree, Cotton has gone for twice the asking price here or more on eBay.  $280 is a great price, if you don't agree then you probably have some ideas about "value for money" that don't reflect the current state of the marketplace.

[elderbroom]

This lot is too rich for my blood. But posting as seller says he has more to post. Maybe my cheap ass can afford some of those. Already PM'd list of what I am looking for.

It's also sold on ebay recently for less than what he's asking, but I guess only the highest price sale is the "current marketplace".

[bob]

and of course eBay is the end-all-be-all "marketplace" in general

[tggodfrey]

Bitch on broom means its worth all our monies!

[khog143]

While I mostly agree with what you have said, it is FAR from the highest price sale.  I've seen auctions, not BINs, end at 600+.

[escarioth]

i'm starting to hate ebay...even video game store use it..

Me : *how much do you sell "insert game name here" ?*
Clerk : *Wait a minute, it does'nt have a price tag...i'll go look on ebay and come back at you in a min*

seriously  i'm not joking..it happened more then once with me just going out

Hey, I bought Cotton from an estate sale back in 2012 for $1. That means Cotton is only worth $1. You are a stupid shit if you even pay $10... that is 1000% of what I paid! Anyone who argues with this logic is an ebay-gouger asshole collectard.

Also, back in the 1950s, I could get a jug of milk for ten cents, delivered! Now those stupid super-market gouger selltards are trying to get $3.50! WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT?

[sosoyo180]

Oh god DE II for $250!

Where's my piggy bank and hammer...

Did you miss the word current, ya troll?

[VestCunt]

I'm gonna let Willis off the hook for this one. What I want are the heads of our so-called members who are PM'ing him right now with offers to buy at those prices.

[CrackTiger]

I believe that there are more silent members who only communicate through PMs (or post exclusively in buy/sell/trade/raffle threads) than active contributors.

[Lochlan]

Did you actually look at the auction?  Because that copy had the UPC cut out from the rear insert.

and of course eBay is the end-all-be-all "marketplace" in general

I don't believe that's what I said.  And the private sales I've seen for Cotton have been comparable with eBay prices, so I'm not sure what your point is here.  "The marketplace", as far as I'm concerned, is the sum of any and all recent sales.  For games as rare as Cotton that does tend to be eBay, but I digress.

[jtucci31]

I mean, I messaged to see if GoT has all the manuals. I'll base my offer upon that. I'll make an offer that I'm comfortable paying. So if the games are bought at those prices then so be it.

[willis]

bump with new games

[Lochlan]

PM sent!

[HailingTheThings]

PM sennnnnt.

PS I will back rub all of you.

[bob]

and more ebay prices.   

[cr8zykuban0]

pmed

[Sadler]

and more ebay prices.   

Some of those prices are pretty good for boxed games. Go back to harassing sellers on ebay.

Boxed Splatterhouse $30 = ebay price??? what.

BUMP BUMP BUMPADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe i should look at the pics before i post. 

[HailingTheThings]

PM sent Pt. II - Because of the Reasonings. Starring butts, and lots of them. woooooooow

[elderbroom]

PM sent.  Some of the prices are certainly workable as a starting point for discussion.  Hopefully some bundling can result in some slightly better prices.

[Psycho Punch]

This is one of the moments where our gouger witch hunt gets out of hand isn't it? SPLATTERHOUSE BOXED FOR FUCKING $30.

And it is just 1 game. There are dozen more absurd deals and people still whine about prices. Good luck finding half those offers on ebay.

CYA BUD!

[HailingTheThings]

This guy's prices are good, he deserves a kiss... on the lips. (yes, I said it)

Also, everyone should hold hands and hum, like at least once a month, I think, yes.

PS also Hi.

PPS Not kidding about holding hands. That'd be groovy.

I love you all... even Galam, also, especially Galam, he's cute. *blushes*

[willis]

ok, majority of everything has been updated in the thread. If you still see a game on there that you pm'd me about, please do so again as I've been getting crazy amouts haha!

Thanks to all of you who have pm'd and been really cool/nice with this whole thread. I'm working my best at all of this, there are a ton of you coming in so its been insanity keeping tabs of it all. I wholeheartedly thank all of you for your interest in my games!

[elderbroom]

Better pricing? Jesus fucking titties!  Let's scare all sellers back to ebay where they can ask and receive 2x the asking price. Brilliant!

I'll buy the whole fucking lot. Pm me willis. Thanks!

I'm PMing him about multiple games. The guy has been super cool and responsive.  But when asking to buy a handful of games I see no harm in asking if he can shave acouple bucks off the bundle. I think his prices are solid, and wish I could buy more at this time. But been spending money like water lately. Let me know what you end up picking up Nulltard.  I'm grabbing only some midrange titles this round  ;-)

[vexcollects]

Awwww man. These are some great titles. It's nice to see someone selling these games for what I would pay for them.

[shubibiman]

Why didn't I see this thread before ? ;(

[MrFulci]

I don't get what all the complaining was about. I skimmed through this thread, and thought some of the people complaining about prices  being too expensive were just kidding around, and saw they weren't.

I think these prices are pretty fair, and using the lower end of ebay as a guide isn't bad. If he were to price his stuff to low, it makes it easy for someone to buy it all up, and dump it all on ebay. Leaving Willis to think to himself, "Well, I could have done that myself".

There's nothing here I want, but, I just wanted to say, those prices, are nice. Bomberman 93, Neutopia 2, CIB at about $100 each? Not bad at all.

[geise]

Yeah, besides a few games that go for high prices, most of his are pretty good.  I am getting a little tired of all the old members jumping on people for prices and telling them to go to ebay.  These are not "jackpot" prices, but for the current shitty trend we are in for turbo games, these are fairly decent. 

BT is right.  When I started selling stuff there were 0 post count members coming at me from all different directions.  "Dude!  I have to have that game.  Hook me up bro!"  Some people have no idea how many lurkers we really have.  The sad thing is that a lot of them are probably resellers.  Willis I am just going to say please don't sell to 0 or 5 post count members, especially if they've been here a while.  These games are probably going to all end up on ebay.  Nothing we can do really.  It's all about getting your money at the end of the day I guess.  Regardless I don't find his prices that bad.  Quite a few of them are pretty good.

[jlued686]

The pricing drama here is out of control. And I think Wmac's thread is all the proof needed to back up that statement. That fuckin' thread's gonna wind up being the basis for somebody's doctoral thesis someday.

This guy's prices aren't offensive, but if some jackass wants to post a shit-stained, loosie copy of Keith Courage for $800, let him. Nobody's gonna buy it and chances are he'll either drop the price or, as the saying goes, give up and "take his shit to eBay."

[elderbroom]

I just sent payment for 5 games that I wanted .. unfortunately missed out on 3 others I expressed interest in.  Understand my comment about "better price" was the typical bundle discussion in an effort to shave off a couple bucks and round down. Eg: something comes to $204, and you cask if we can make it an even $200.  I thought his prices were just fine. Willis gave very good rate for shipping (to Canada), was prompt in his communication and I'm getting games I want, at a price I'm comfortable paying. And like Nulltard, these games are going to my personal collection to be played. Sorry you lost out on Cotton. Was hoping you'd rope that.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I'm not going to bother checking the updated games/prices, but almost every one of the originally listed titles (all but Implode and Cotton) was right in the middle of completed auctions.  With him saving the eBay's fees, this means he was making more here than he likely would on eBay.

Is this worth complaint?  Perhaps not, seeing as it serves no purpose; at the same time, those complaining from the other side of the coin aren't exactly helping matters either.
