Why no one has bothered to post this completed auctions link is beyond me....

Most all the end auction amounts are within very reasonable limits/common going prices for the titles for sale. Some of the stuff didn't even get low bids that were priced well. Seriously, you want decent games for the US system, you are going to have to be willing to shell out 10-30 on average depending on the title, and more for the fewer rarer TTI ones released near the end. Thats pretty fair considering you're buying quality titles on average, and stuff that doesn't tend to decrease in value over time. People who have collected and had to sell TG/PCE stuff tend to never take a loss on average. They usually always break even in the end, or turn a profit unless they don't know what they are doing.
Yea, its not like collecting for Nes/Genesis/Snes, but the fact is more carts were manufactured per title on average for those systems then with the Turbografx. It simply makes the stuff alot less common for you locally, so places like ebay and forums are key to getting what you want. Supply and demand, ect. This high priced spin stuff was very much the same that little bitch Nintega liked to champion around the PCEFX forums and on youtube.
Seriously, hed start threads about this every other week that would carry on to no end. He failed to grasp this, or how people on PCEFX were getting good deals, because all he did was search BIN and hit the first thing he saw, instead of putting in actual research and landing good deals. Less patient and investing no research= blowing more cash. Its that simple.Originally Posted by Nintegail
You simply have to shop smart and price compare if you want to save some cash. Collecting PCE instead of TG also helps save alot of cash in the long run. In regards to crazy seller prices, honestly most of the BIN prices tend to be within reason, and the end bid amounts, well, that has more to do with the bidder/buyer then the seller. Its the bidders who are deciding how much they want to pay per auction more then anything. Cant blame the seller for that, let alone blame someone for not pricing stuff within your budget/mindset. If they know the actual going rate or value of the game, you can't expect them to undercut themselves just to please the guy whos trying to save money.
There has only been a few really bad US sellers purposely trying to manipulate the USA TG market really with extremely overpriced stuff. Bullseye Videogames was the main one. They were a massive reseller trying to dominate a nich gaming market. I out bid them on alot of auctions back when I collected US stuff. Im not sure if they resell anymore. They tended to change ids every now and then.
