Hey man, you want a deal? I'll sell you my sealed PS2 controller for HALF that!  :P


Deal!  xD


I've always wanted a WEI.

I have actually seen this type of "deal" around eBay, too. Always hilarious.

^ My favorite part is when someone has a "deal" like that, and you tell them what a Wii (or whatever it is) is actually going for, they reply with: "Well I paid $200 for it."

...that's not how that works.

Not in a millions years.

Or how about people that list a bundle of, say, ten games, and there's not a single good one in the lot because they're all either shovelware or commons, and they price it between $60-100?

Can't help but chuckle every time I stumble with one of those.

Originally had it listed just BIN for $80.

That has got to be a listing error.

pzeke

Probably. Maybe.

You'd have to be crazy to think that a strategy guide is worth that much...or that someone is going to spend that much on one (and by that I mean someone sane, of course).

Essentially yes or in this case charging for something that pretty much anyone can do with some direction.

So this apparently sold for the price it sold because it was an "early release"... Ooh, wow.

Just fucking stupid. I'm sorry, but some people are.

I've read a bit about this recently, some are speculating it's because of the hangtab and the immaculate condition, but a lot of people think it is a non paying bidder.

[...] but a lot of people think it is a non paying bidder.

Most probably.

It's a little high.  Full market value is about $325.  There's some some good stuff in there, but not enough to get $400
