I've seen the RC go for much more, and in some stores I've looked at (physical ones, not online) it tends to go for about $60 (which is why I like to buy them online and then trade them in for store credit.) Price fluctuates a lot online... I wouldn't pay that much though.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Yeah, I list high grade Rules Cyclopedias for around $55-60 in my ebay store.

They never last more than a month . . .

Now, I try not to criticize, but this is just silly.

Diablo II

Now, normally, I would just laugh. But this auction just ended:

Diablo II

. . . or rather, the seller ended it with about 4 hours to go because it had no bids at 99 cents. :roll:

I had a snipe set for around $5, so I emailed him and offered $5.

He told me "no" and has relisted it for $175 (or best offer

)

So, there is the lesson . . . when something doesn't sell for 99 cents and someone offers you $5 . . . try to sell it for $175.

I just needed it for research anyway . . . it is kinda hard to find . . . even though no one wants them . . .

Yeah, I've seen them go for over $20 with water damage.

(The RC, that is.)

(Only got mine for $10 because the seller didn't include a picture.)

Well when you have an auction like this to base your price on:

Glad I have my copy already. Looks like they're ultra-mega-super-duper valuable.
If anyone wants to trade a mono tourney, I'll do a straihgt-up swap.

I have no idea...I stopped watching it (was thinking of bidding on it) once it got silly....

Hey, did anyone bother to check the final price on this yet? It got even more stupid(a lot more stupid as a matter of fact) after I last looked. I just can't even fathom the lack of brain power that led to that final auction total....

You could feasably get a 3rd print woodgrain for that price.

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

Was the box lined with gold-leaf? That's a ridiculously high price for a fifth :roll:

Oh the seller would be laughing, and I'd say he'd be very pleased in the final price.

I was looking at it from the buyer's side if he checks other prices they've gone for.

Having said that, if they're both happy at the moment there's no harm done?
