    Strange? What is so strange about a PC-Engine? Perhaps the number of muck-holes it was dragged through to achieve that "premium" protective coating?

    At $880... I've had better finds in the commode after a much needed (and releaving) deuce (COOL! CORN!). Failure complete! - for not giving the offered item the VAG treatment.

    Nothing legal I'm assuming.

    This is actually all my fault, because I sent the guy a message on ebay showing him the neo-geo and pcenginefx threads. (I would have probably sent him this thread too if I frequented DP more) I was originally going to say something along the lines of, "hey guy, you're nuts, and a jerk for trying to leech off my hobby," but then I decided that a better approach would be to just show him the threads so that he could figure out for himself that he was batshit crazy with his BIN price (and that he should, y'know, give it a scrub).

    I guess he just figured that a lot of people were talking about it so it must be a hot commodity. What a maroon.

    And check out the PCenginefx thread for some hilarious photos of the guy I posted. (It's http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5307.0 for you people too lazy to look). He likes to do that thing where you cross your middle and ring fingers so your hand looks like a "W" -- he's from the streets, yo!

    Dude, he needs to sell that system at that price to keep up with his E-Thug persona.

    Holla.

    It's like a hot stock - the price just keeps going up every day. Of course, for this item, there are no buyers!

    Somebody should tell him that Super Mario Brothers was released in 1995, not 1997 ...

    ... then again, maybe nobody should tell him that, the more misinformed data on that auction the better.

    Is this dude related to Chad Warden? My guess is that he's "all 'bout dat P.S. Tripple".

    The sick part is that he's claiming to give 10% to the WWF. I say revoke his breathing and breeding privileges.

    What a C*ckbite.

    Well since this thread has devolved from a what the heck is this, to the mockery of a now dead ebay auction.... I'ma gonna shimmy this one over to its rightful home.
