Trigger Heart Excelica

someone told me it was an awesome dreamcast game...so i went to ebay and searched in titles and description...and of course...this guy has it in his auction...when i saw something saying buy it now 19,999$...had to click it. It broke my heart...cuz only him and the other guy have THE for sale...i dont have 500+$ or 20000$

Still awesome to look at though :D

That is awesome, but I'm a bit skeptical. He wants a wire transfer, and says he will accept paypal under some "conditions". It does say that he'll accept 4 payments and send things as he gets money, but 1/4 of that is still 5 grand.

Then again, his feedback is like 97.9% positive and has nearly 3000 transactions...

Either way, that is one mean collection. I don't think I would ever be able to collect all of them simply because I could never keep track of all the names.

see..thats what kinda fights the "To good to be true" or "Ebay scam"

The guy has alot of feedback.

I feel like he must have worked for someone...either with sega or a big sega corp store. I cant see him getting ALL of those by simply collecting...ya know?

A scammer could have gained access to his account. But its not the sort of thing someone would use to scam someone with though, most scammers would go for something that a lot of people would want to maximise the chance of someone buying it. A Dreamcast collection is a bit niche for a scammer.

On another note: 20 grand?! For something that you couldn't/wouldn't want to use? If I won the lottery, perhaps.

I'd like to know who buys it.
God damn I hate the internet.

I couldn't open any of those. I'm not a fan of keeping stuff boxed up and never using it (what's the point?), but that is an entire collection of sealed Dreamcast stuff. It would be a massive shame to let someones VERY hard work go to waste. Leave it sealed for a decade or 2 and that will have be worth a LOT.

It looks real and don't doubt it. Most likely a store is going to pick that one up or some rich person. Thanks for sharing, it's always fun to see things like that. It's about $33.000 per game. I was surprised to see 2 offers have been made.

Its a GREAT deal when you think about it. Some of those games SINGLED would go for well over 100$

If the local play n trade picked that up here...id have one hell of a laylway lmao
