    Jeeze what a maroon. He's listing a greatest hits Castlevania:SotN and a strategy guide for 60 bucks BIN. Nevermind there are about a dozen auctions for new sealed SotN's you can get for about 30$.

    He's got his head in the ground gauging some of these prices. But I've seen his auctions before and others have commented here how he keeps listing the same unsold items time and time again. x_x

    Let him sell it at insane price. it's not like he is holding a gun to force bidders pay the insane amount. All he's doing right now is supporting ebay through higher listing charge.

    And notice how he tried to use the Metroid Prime keyword in the title of the Metroid auction?

    I noticed that. It seems the seller is a bit sneaky because the way the title's formatted he could be using the word prime to descibe the condition. A hard case to argue on keyword spamming.

    I did a rant about this guy in another thread... too lazy to dig it up. But this guy is a huge reseller that's fatally in the red. He needs major price boosts and uninformed idiots to stay afloat. NEVER BUY FROM HIM.

    While this guy obviously lives in Fantasyland I wouldn't call him a douche. Seems like he's only hurting himself with his prices. If anyone ever bids on one of his games then they deserve to pay what they do.

    In fact, it looks like someone has already bitten on one of his auctions. Maybe the guy is smarter than we all think.

    Hmmm... Bidder has zero feedback and a shade.

    Even that bid might not be valid. That bidder could be just jerking the seller, wasting times.

    I don't know about you but I'm much more likely to believe that it's a legit bid then something more sinister.

    Creating a new account just to place a fake bid on one game that isn't that special in the first place seems like much too much work just to screw with this guy.
