Somebody really wants that Game Gear game

Post by Scooter »

This is the highest I've seen a GG game go that wasn't Panzer Dragoon Mini. Yeesh.

Sorry, I posted a bad link. I've fixed it now. It is Arcade Classics on ebay. At least it is a complete boxed copy, but still. And it isn't over yet.

That is just insane, but that is also eBay for you. I've seen stuff sell for 70.00 and then a similar item sell for 9.00 an hour later.

yeah- ebay should be www.fuckingcrazytown.com

People start bidding and then just lose their shit sometimes. It stops being about the product and starts being about not 'losing' to someone else.

and here is a nice realization- that isn't just one person playing a crazy amount of money for that arcade game gear cart... it is actually 2. One who actually got it, and another who lost. Meaning someone is upset that they didn't get ARCADE CLASSICS for the game gear with their bid of 80+ dollars.

This auction isn't over yet. It doesn't end until after 4pm PST today (unless something has changed since I looked at it the other day) so it may go even higher.

Hey Scooter, how's the Chevelle coming along?

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Well, the coupe has been done since 2000, but the wagon is still in progress. Should get painted this Winter or Spring.
