The X68000 auction ever

[Ed Oscuro]

For this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180395006587&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) auction (note the 0 feedback and lack of pictures of the supposed games) I had to ask a sort of question which I normally wouldn't ask:


What are the games, or is it just 20 fragments of games that got run over by a car?

Sincerely,
I know the dude is in Hong Kong, but seeing how I've had many excellent transactions with HK based sellers that's no excuse for not detailing the bulk of what the auction is for!

EDIT: I know making the pub on "pieces" is a bit out of line, but it's too late to do anything about it :P Hope something good comes of it.

yeah definetly not cool. People I know in person are always like oh my god you order stuff from hong kong thats crazy but 99% of my deals with people from HK have been great-better usually than with people stateside.

Um, he might have used the wrong word.

In Spanish, we use the word "Piezas" (Pieces) for "Items".

Edit:
Wait, did you buy this? Did you really pay 150 POUNDS for shipping?!

[Ed Oscuro]

Look again, it's not sold yet. Posting this here for the lulz; I thought that was obvious from the title...by the way, I have three (actually four...no wait, two) of the dang things, although the original monitor is tempting.

Hence the question...

The noel guy again?

If it's the same seller (probably is), I've seen like 3 accounts already.

Seems very suspicious, specially if it's him.

EDIT: Yup, it's him:

Why is he creating so many different accounts is beyond me. I feel he is a con artist.

Hey look! The auction listed above!

I bet it will reach $10K again!

FWIW, I make a new account every time I use up all of my Bing.com cashbacks :D

I doubt that's the motivation here, tho.

[Ed Oscuro]

Oh HE DID NOT JUST GO THERE

Reply to my question:


the games are ramdomly choose by myself
megasdkirby: Haha, I didn't realize we've run into this guy before, thanks.

One thing I will say about the auctions here, though, is that the blue tile floor seems to be in all the auctions, so I doubt the pictures are being stolen from somewhere else. It'll be interesting to watch this although I fear it won't be pretty for the buyers.

Wait, you can do that? Using the same PP account, just different EBAY IDs?

But yeah, I feel the listings will fetch a pretty penny. Like in the last topic, I feel this guy was shilling. I mean, nearly $16,000 for the game lot? FROM ONE BIDDER? Shill bidding to me!

I was about to say that $110 for an X68000 is grand theft, but then I saw the shipping. I see what he did there.

In no universe does it cost $300 to ship something like that, even halfway around the world.
