Ian Primus Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Apparently he's selling this lot so that he can afford to buy a new keyboard - one with a functional carriage return key. And if he really does have an NWC grey... He ought to just throw all that other junk away and sell that by itself - or at least have a good, fuzzy picture of it -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) WTF?! Are they confusing World Cup with World Championship? I'd say so, since they got the name right if it's the common cart. Also, since when is Tecmo Bowl worth $700-$800? Loose even?! And why throw in those old LP's? Put those in a separate auction. I'd say this is someone cleaning out their closet and they're either intentionally trying to trick someone, or they're just stupid. Yeah, exactly (Ian)... why would you not just sell that separately with good pics and a good title? I think he has World Cup, not World Championship.

homerwannabee Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Funny how the NWC gray is nowhere to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Okay, I bit. I "asked the seller a question". I'll post when/if they reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 well i for one think its a pretty cool auction where else can you find tecmo bowl for under $700 these days and also get a frank sinatra album to boot i also enjoy the fact that the light gun is included many auctions dont give you the lightgun but you get a lightgun game and cant even enjoy it he also makes a valid point about tecmo bowl being 2 dimensional all 3 dimensional games ruined it for everyone so i will be bidding and you can all bite me if you try to outbid me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, the idiot replied, but he didn't at all answer my question (which is the reason I'm calling him an idiot)... didn't even hint at an answer. Just said he had to sell immediately due to financial troubles, and would give me a $500 discount if I buy it right now. I replied, repeating my request for clear photos of his exact cart (I specified no stock photos), and said that until he does a proper listing showing clear photos, I doubt anyone is going to give him any money. We'll see what he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I sent him this: "Hello, are you like a crazy person, or just never learned to use paragraphs or carriage returns?" I figured what the hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I am at a loss of what to ask this guy, even if it is a prank question. How many shares of Nintendo stock will I receive if I purchase this?Will you learn to type if I send you a new keyboard and, say, a jar of grape jelly? Is this an official copy of World Cup or is it really just the TMNT arcade game? Does all your base are belong to us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't even answer a straightforward question, so he likely can't hit a curveball either. And please, don't ask him if it's an official copy of World Cup! I think that's what it is, and not what he implies it is (World Championship). My suspicion is that he knows it too, and that's why he didn't answer my question, just tried to get me to send him money quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm not really going to ask him anything, because he's an idiot. I might ask him about the base, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might ask him about the base, though LOL, that's probably the best question for him. I haven't called him an idiot in my exchange with him yet, but I'm waiting for him to send me a pic of this cart, so I can call him an idiot.

tugboat450 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 "All items listed will be shipped" I think that right there is the line that will push any potential buyers who are on the fence to click the Buy It Now button right away....

huskers1987 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.com/Premium-Collectors-Edi...A1%7C240%3A1307 This guy is totally lost, he talks about a certain game for an hour thats worth 2 bucks, he doesnt have anything as far as I can tell,I emailed him asking him for pics, I doubt I will get them, Hes dropped his price to 1200 dollars,what a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah, I still haven't heard back from him again or received any pics, nor do I expect to. I'm still pretty sure he knows (or now knows) that what he has is worthless and was trying to scam people. Or, he's just an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball22 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Chance that he has a Nintendo World Championships cart: 0%. Chance that he really really needs $1750 to get lots more of whatever he's on that makes him that hyper: 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But informed me that he definetly had the game and he VIVIDLY described it in his auction well. I bet if i bought the auction, that game would just VIVIDLY show up in my mail box. or monkeys might fly out my ass. I told him that nobody is gonna bid on something that they cant see. What a joke.

Mirage Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 ^^ Yeah, he never replied to me again with photos or more info. He obviously took the first photos, craptacular as they were. If he really had a NWC cart, it'd be worth it to go buy a camera. You can get a halfway-decent one new for just over $50 now. Why would you NOT do it? Clearly, his lack of response shows that either an idiot, an intentional scammer, or likely both. I think we have enough evidence. I just hope no one gets screwed, but then, they're just as stupid as he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
