FS: Nothing! LOCK IT UP!

[DrOrangejuicer]

Quick quantity/pricing update:

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

[MotherGunner]

No offense but these asking prices could start WWZ.

[MotherGunner]

If that's what it's all about, why not hunt for sealed copies of TV Sports (insert here)?

[o.pwuaioc]

can you really put a price on the opportunity to free one of these from their shrinkwrapped prison?

Yes. $1.

[DrOrangejuicer]

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!

[MotherGunner]

Understood, Dr.  =)

Because they are readily available everywhere? No hunting involved.  

This thread here is for big game hunters, son!

Well you're in luck.  I have hunted big game.  Last woman I picked up at a bar was well over 300 lbs!

Bitch put me in a full nelson right in the middle of the dance floor!

Buy this beat up Silent Debuggers! I COMMAND THEE.

[Bardoly]

I bought a couple of games from DrOrangejuicer recently, and they arrived quickly and safely.  I would buy from him again if the price were right.

[DrOrangejuicer]

One man's trash is another man's trash!

[DrOrangejuicer]

Actual gameplay footage of FALCON:

Sure to please!

[SuperGrafx]

where do you get all these sealed games from?  Did you buy out a bankrupt game dealer?

[MotherGunner]

He cleaned out the guys who cleaned out TZD.

[esteban]

He cleaned out... RedFrogUSA?

[MotherGunner]

Flippant comment, but wouldn't be surprised! 😏

[esteban]

Flippant comment, but wouldn't be surprised!

Yeah, I hear you

It would be interesting to find out what happened to all the stuff from tzd....I wish we had an inventory list.

[in99flames]

I got Falcon from him today! It is as expected. Whole transaction went smoothly!

[Groover]

Bonk is really $80 these days. wow

[DrOrangejuicer]

Found a copy of Vigilante, maybe you found $43, maybe we trade?

[Mathius]

Bonk is really $80 these days. wow

This. Since when did Bonk (1, one, the first Bonk, Bonk episode one, aka a really common game) become almost a bill? Quick someone sell something for what it's really worth before my aorta starts squirting!

+ 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!

[Nazi NecroPhile]

So much haaaasslin' around here, jeeeeeeez.

That's because your prices generally suck. 

[CrackTiger]

That and the fact that he's only here to make money. He doesn't participate or contribute anything to the forum and asks outrageous prices for games that regular members literally give away.

[CrackTiger]

Well, he did contribute to the Shenmue 3 thread to let us know that he had been hoarding a stack of sealed copies of the original.

He then flipped 11 of them in a row on eBay for up to $240 each.

[SuperGrafx]

He then flipped 11 of them in a row on eBay for up to $240 each.

Damn, is that what they sell for now??
I bought a few at a Toys R Us clearance back in 2002 or 2003 for like $1.97 each.
Sadly, I ended up giving a few away just to get rid of them...

[Mathius]

I feel so bad for the people that now have to pay through the nose to play Shenmue 1 and 2 which are, naturally, pretty common games.

And yeah, Doc Orange, your prices do kinda stink. I thank the stars that I was able to get my games before resellers came in to take advantage of our hobby. You very well could be a stand up guy with solid integrity who's just going with the flow of the market, but your peers have tainted the open market and created a mess of shill bidding and artificial inflation. So all the dirt being slung here is a product of that environment and unless you intend to hose the people of this forum I wouldn't take it personally.

[DrOrangejuicer]

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 !

[Opethian]

You are the epitome of whats wrong with video games these days. Thanks for all the artificial price inflations and pandering to people with more money than sense.

good day sir

Dear DrOrange,

Suck my left one.

Good night.

As you should be well aware of, after reading so many threads with people asking for their's to be "locked" or "deleted", or when the OP ends the thread with an overly dramatic post lashing out at everyone, you can lock it yourself.
