Who Said You Still Can't Find Good Deals ? Air Zonk , PC ENGINE Stuff , & More!

My friend told me he needs money , he invites me over , he had a lot of other stuff , like a neo geo pocket with over 20 games which I got also , but he had turbo games .... All but bomberman , bonk's adventure , alien crush , galaga . Keith courage , and blazing lasers (I had those already) ... He even gave me a system with an original power cable , a turbo booster plus , a turbo stick , a turbo tap  , and 4 controllers ... I paid about $100 for all the turbo stuff (he told the price didn't have to haggle)  Man I'm In Turbo Heaven . He even threw in a cd card , the import converter and the PC Engine 3.0 card .

Arent you trying to sell just the booster for $120 on facebook?  I hope you plan to help your friend out with some of the proceeds from the stuff youre selling if he really needed money that bad...

So what's this, the third random noob to pop up with a "zomg look at this rare score I just got" in recent days?

Le sigh...

Something I explained to someone not too long ago...  They were asking me about a scheme they had to sell their car and buy another car that was exactly the same as what they had already.  The deal was, sell their car for max price and talk down the guy on this other car a bunch so that he would end up with the same car but a few grand in his pocket.  He was trying to figure out a way out of paying tax / registration on the new car.  I told him there was no legal / moral way to do it.  I went on to say the only way you're getting a deal is by someone else taking a hit.  Either the person he sells his car to overpaying or the guy he's buying from getting too little for their car.  No matter what, someone has to lose in order for you to get that great deal.

I told him the best way is to offer a fair price for things, not too high that the buyer is getting a poor deal and not too low that the seller is getting screwed.  I told him what I had paid for a junker car I bought recently and he was like "dude, you could have talked him down another few hundred bucks"  Yes I could have and probably got it for less, but the price I offered was a fair one for both parties.

Remember that people, making profit is great and all but consider what is really happening when you buy for cheap and sell high.  Buying broken, repairing / modding etc and then selling higher is one thing but just flipping stuff you got cheap purely for the sake of profit... yeah no.

Being a good friend to someone in need is worth more than a fucking copy of Klax. Jesus.

That's great to hear you helped your friend in need. And you got such a great deal as well in the process. What's even more amazing than all that though is the amount of money you are flipping all that stuff for on Facebook. Such a great friend you are!

I like this community.

I like this new guy. He thinks that we would cheat our own grandma to make a few measly dollars.

Bravo.  It takes a real winner to flip stuff from your friends for max gouge, but what does any of this have to do with the PC-FX?!?

Seriously, why do so many morons use the PC-FX sub-forum for unrelated shit?

my friend is a bigger collector then most people , I kept all of his stuff , and sold my old stuff . Since his is much in better condition , He sold his neo geo collection for 380ish to a local video game store . He has ebay , but has no time to list , I even offered to list for him  , but he didn't want to wait , he told me the price , He encouraged me to sell , I can get you all screen caps if you don't believe me.

Your prices are high, you are going to catch this flack when you brag about getting said stuff super cheap then attempt to sell off your couple of dupes for above ebay prices here.
