Emehr Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Great speaking voice I wonder if this is the same company that used to advertise in the back of EGM back in the day. "Super Hydlide: We sell for: 59.95; we buy for 4.95" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wow, he doesn't need to say a thing, that great price speaks for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Oh freaking brother. I didn't think I wanted to pay the quantity discount of $4.33 each for 157 commons until I had this loser sweet talk me! And what ever happened to putting pics in your ad of the actual items being sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hey Brad, do you know the difference between an Xbox 360 and an Atari 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bresoftware has always been like this. They'd try to sell you 500 combat carts at $5 a pop if they thought they could. I just ignore them completely and them calling themselves wholesales is quite a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangasinan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 WOW and only $99.95 per month for subscription to the Game Price Guide...what a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wow, I didn't even take a close look at the auction until now (as I closed it pretty quickly earlier with the "Ding dong dung! Hi, this is Brad from BRE Soft--"). $680 for 157 common, LOOSE Atari 2600 carts? Seriously? But, hey, shipping is free!! And where's a picture of all the carts? I scrolled through 20 pages of garbage looking for one, but instead was treated to various pictures of merchandise from their physical store, and stock photos of modern consoles, pictures of Xbox 360 games, a promo shot of (I assume) Gran Turismo, and a big-ass ad for their Game Price Guide Online (which is further pimped after the list of carts), all of which have absolutely nothing to do with what's being sold. Do sellers actually think people take the time to read an encyclopedia of text attached to their auction? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what ever happened to putting pics in your ad of the actual items being sold? DOn't forget this little tid bit too.. "Please allow a 5-8% variance in titles, although we have thousands and thousands of games instock, we do run out of a few titles here and there. Don't worry when/if we have to subtitute a title here or there, we'll make sure it's as good as and in most cases, better than the title it's replacing. We'll often throw in a couple extra games if we have to substitute titles." what a joke.... So up to 14 of those titles might not be there... At 4.33 a game I want some guarantees my games are whats listed... Of course from the next section you may be confused by 157 loose games actually being new as he claims. They are so clean they confuse you into thinking theres a box and instructions in it.... Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I wonder if that thousands and thousands of games in stock includes a Quadrun or a Tooth Protectors? Wait, those would be subbed for better games like ET and Swordquest. Uh-huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll often throw in a couple extra games if we have to substitute titles." Isn't this a violation of eBay policy? Something to the effect of you have to sell what you are advertising. Ebay pulled a listing of mine about 5-7 years ago because I wanted to offer a choice of games to the winner where you could choose say 30 games out of the 50 or 60 I had that went with an extra system at the time. "Choice" they said, was a no no. Well apparently, that is ok now and I think it can be a legitimate way to sell things like video games and good for both sides of the deal but not in the way this dude goes about it. His way, he chooses everything and it's really a joke since he's way over priced anyhow. If the consumer has the choice, I think its a good thing and that rule has changed because I seen it in a listing recently and I sent Ebay an email asking if the "choice" rule had changed and sure enough, it had and they actually wrote me back which was surprising in and of itself to me as they used to take forvever to reply about anything if at all. So I supposeBre-Soft is mis-using the rule and is using it in a way that appears to be why Ebay had that rule in the 1st place years ago. When it changed exactly, I do not know. The better question is does this guy sell anything or any of these lots in particular? I have to do a search of his ended items later when I have time. -Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhwolfman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 After turning down the Volume , I checked out their completed listings. Only three items sold to = around a hundred. One person actually fell for the Price guide for $70 ,instead of a copy of Video Game Collector, for $5.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
