I wish ebay let you comment on auctions for all to see. That Buggy Run is shocking!
Bit unfair holding the seller responsible for the ridiculous price though. He started the auction at ?1.99 so at least the price is indicative of what people are prepared to pay for it. I remember I sold a couple of battered up ZX81 tapes for ?82 once, yet when I listed the items I doubted anyone would take them at the opening bid of 99p!
Nah, it's just the BiN rip-off merchants that should be named and shamed!
Now, the winner of the bid, motete, told me that he doesn't want the game. I can't understand that, because he bid in the last seconds, and he bid several times in the game, and he asked me the postage costs to Germany 2 days ago.
I wrote to ebay, but I think that they are going to do nothing. I will try to contact with the second offer, but the problem is that perhaps he is going to think that I autobid in the game.
Good old Spence.77 he is currently selling a copy of Bartman vs Radioactiveman on ebay for £100. I him a fairly decent offer for it and he turned it down then a week later I managed to snag a copy of the same game for £19. So by being greedy he is well out of pocket.
The only games that would fetch over that ?65 are Samurai Showdown, Snatcher and Ecco Tides of time (if the wind's blowing in the right direction)
Uhhhh ... really? Ecco Tides of Time is ?20-?30 game tops! It's not that long ago that there were buckets of sealed copies flying around, usually for less than ?40 a pop.
Shining Force CD definitely more likely to go over ?65 than Ecco Tides of Time .. Theme Park too, although less often than Shining Force.
But yeah, it's a silly price. He's probably trying to recoup some of the ludicrous sums he's spent on some of that stuff in the past and been trying to flog on at even more barmy prices via his multiple eBay ids. I can't figure out quite what planet he's on.
A way back he agreed to buy a big load of stuff from me - I knocked a load of the prices down for him for the deal. But he never came through on it. Maybe he maxed his cards out or something!!
