And 10 watchers even at that price...
:WTF:

I watch things with high prices to see if they fall to a lower price or see what they eventually sell for.

I always watch things with a ridiculous price too - it's nice to see if they sell, sometimes the seller contacts everyone with a 5% discounted offer for extra laughs. I hope they don't take it as a sign of genuine interest at that price (but I bet they do!)

+1

Ive come to the conclusion that its some sort of money laundering. :D

Check out this 'rare' C64 game that everyone has heard of, if not played:

Well that is just crazy talk :crazy:

I'd suggest that the seller has just listed it and is using that as a holding price and will update the price later, however if you take a look at their other items it's pretty clear that they are trying to sell at way above reasonable prices.

I can say, hand on heart, the stuff looks in very good condition, but even considering that, the prices are off the charts ridiculous. Some items do have coupons though...

To be honest with you Jon, we gave away a C64C as a raffle prize at the last Cyberlegends that had contents in a much better condition than that.

I would say the item condition is the 'good' end of 'fair'. But thats MHO. :)

But for £3k (barring any special offer coupons; I noticed theres even games on his listings for £3.5k!) I would expect 'as new', in the original cellophane - hell, I'd probably demand that the original developer hand deliver it to me from the USA. :lol:

Yeah, those are collectors prices for unopened pieces, not used, however good the condition.

I'd want the computer and peripherals in mint condition as well as the game plus 3 nights in Vegas with spending money and a night out with the dev for those prices.

Stuff is so crazy on Ebay.

Like this - Amiga 1000 for sale - a real bargain at just under $60,000.00!

@Darklord WTF?! This has to be the highest price yet, surely?

Theres more 'LOLPRICE' in his other auctions.

Most of his stuff is reasonably priced bricabrac...apart from the above and a few other bits.

Good examples being an obviously super 'rare' copy of DPaint 2* on the Amiga for $5k(!) along with an Epson EX-800 DM printer for $30k!

I would say you cant make this stuff up, but he certainly did just that with the pricing. :lol:

*=Irony. DPII on the Amiga is about as rare as a bag of frozen peas at the supermarket.
