Just... Bad, Turbo Ebay Auctions (Not Gouging)

Quote from: TheOldMan on 01/06/2013, 11:22 PMCan someone report him for fraud? Granted, he does say they are stickers....but the tg cards don't have stickered labels. The labels are printed directly on the plastic.
So if he's selling a sticker, it has to be fake. And if it's not fake, it's not a sticker (and hence mis-representation).
Catch-22.

This is an obvious response to him getting ragged on lately. I know a couple folks here were messing with him last week. He's crazy defensive.

PCEngineHell · 01/07/2013, 12:05 AM

I have to admit, coming from anyone else it would be pretty funny. But in his case, since he was advertising games for sale as "complete" when they were not, this just makes him look worse from certain perspectives.

There's nothing 'bad' about that auction, unless you mean 'bad ass'. Without the description it'd just be a shameful grab for booby attention, but the description really sells it.

RoyVegas · 03/14/2013, 12:35 PM

Interesting Duo auction here:

What makes it bad for me is this:

QuoteBe aware that I know nothing about these and I don't know if it works because I have nothing to hook it up to. I was told it works by my friend who had it in his TV room for decades but it was sitting a long time and I can't guarantee it so you are buying it as is

You have nothing to hook it up to to test it? It includes everything needed to test it and you're telling us you don't have a capable TV? Fishy

I agree it sounds awfully fishy, but it is possible that he has nothing to test it on, as some new LCDs lack composite (component and hdmi only).

Bernie · 03/14/2013, 04:17 PM

Either way, that is a great chance for someone to get a US Duo. I guess, if they know where to come to have it fixed!

I once bought a Sega Genesis with a bunch of games and accessories from some dude on Craigslist. When I got to his place, I saw that he had two wireless Playstation controllers and a base in the box of stuff. I told him that they didn't belong to the Sega but he insisted that he had played it with them and refused to let me leave them behind. I tried to show him how there was no way to plug it in. He said something to the effect of, "I don't know what to tell you. I've used these to play it and I know they work." He absolutely would not take no for an answer.

I still have them. They're "Docs" brand and no, to this day, they still don't fit the Genesis.
