Tweety Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 BattleSphere gold edition is for sale on ebay, I recon it will sell for a stupendous high price, so maybe only for the rich Jaguar owners out there. They say the money goes to a charity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yep, that'd be the programmer (Scott LeGrand) selling his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 found this, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ATARI-JAGUAR-BATTLES...Q2em118Q2el1247 Holy!! And that is just Battlesphere. LOL! Well the developers of Battlesphere have a good thing going. They can now make individual carts now if they wanted to, and kick them out every so often when they need a little more cash now and then. At the rate the cartridges are going up in value, they now don't have to make them as often to make the same amount of money. Pretty soon the money they would have made selling four carts they can do with one cart. Not to say this isn't going to a good cause (Diabetes, the cycling cause, etc) but just that they don't have to sell as many to make the same money they made before.

Gorf Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) It's a very rare game ! About 150 copies on the market and 150 others in the Tbird garage : one sell every month ... Why not go say this ridiculous crap at JSII where T-Bird can defend himself against your completely bogus claims? Easy to through a punch through a one way window. If T-Bird is selling it, he is giving the moeny to charity to fund diabetic research. How dare he! Edited May 22, 2008 by Gorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I've a question maybe someone here can answer for me; if all monies are donated to charity by the seller, would buying the game from them also qualify as a charitable donation that is tax deductable? Or does the seller only claim that right? If the latter is the circumstance, the seller should make the donation in the buyers name so the buyer can claim the deduction. I bet if they did that it would sell for even more than now, as the buyer could be much more generous knowing it's tax deductable. Or even submit the charity under both buyer and seller names so at least 50% could be deducted from taxes for each entity.

The seller is neither....it is SSFU. Both Scott and Doug are 9-5ers+ and even if they did sell them at these prices, it's the least they can do to get back for all they put into the game and I know most if not ALL of the proceeds fund good causes like diabetic research. Scott is working on a shit load of patents and hardly has time to E-Whore BS. Doug does this maybe once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadest Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you read carefully the auction texte, it is written : Payment At the close of this auction, the winning bidder will be directed how to make payment directly to the Tour de Cure fund raising page. DO NOT pay through by any other means. So, in my understanding, this is not the seller who give money to charity, but the buyer. So as long as this is eligible to tax deduction, the buyer is the one concerned. In France, from time to time, a friend is making such action for fund raising by selling boardgames. He sells his games a bit more expensive than usually. He ask buyer to donate to the association and send him a proof donation has been made. Then the buyer is eligible for tax deduction, and finally, he got the game for cheaper than original price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEs that is T-Bird and yes the donation info is right there. Unlike SSFU's auction which only funds her favorite charity...herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 No wonder Scatologic don't make another cart run. Who needs this shit? They don't owe anyone any favours, and clearly the money is going to charity. Maybe if people stopped hassling them over BS, they might actually want to do another cart run....
