What are you, a casual?

Is that in Canadian funbux? Because that would be about $20 of real money.

Er, no. It's not.

Big eBay stores often hike prices like that temporarily while they sort out stocking issues because it'll usually prevent anyone from buying it in the interim. It's very common and also easier than relisting the item for some reason.

So yeah, nothing to see here.
>>
I assumed it was because it's "new", like an unopened official controller since they stopped making them.

It's not even a Nintendo controller. It's off-brand garbage.

>buying after market controllers.

Now I don't know about SNES but my experience with Genesis ones have been terrible.

Precisely. Thread over.

In the late 90s I bought a SNES pad from a shop called Index Extra - like an Argos type place where you see what you want in a catalogue and they get it from the back room.

In the catalogue it looked exactly like a real pad but with no logo. The actual one I got, however, was so bad, the plastic was almost Christmas cracker quality. Badly moulded, uneven and horribly light and brittle feeling. The buttons too - they were slightly mis-shapen and didn't press cleanly.

It was so bad I just had to take it back and tell them it was just a terrible product all round.

Seriously, it was laughable how they could ever think of selling it.

The SNES version of Megaman and Bass was never released outside Japan. We didn't get the game in any form til it was released on GBA in 2003, so any English copy for SNES, especially one with an American style box and manual is a fucking reproduction.
>>
>>3042065
>>3042249
Beyond all that, it's so sloppy the ESRB on the box says KA while the game label says M

eBay won't do shit unless the seller states that it's not legit.

Whats the best way to fuck with scalpers who are charging way tooo much for games?
even tho it might be a game you want?

also I keep seeing these same people forcing the price up on normal items by bidding on them only to then resell them if they win it at a lower price than they'd list it for. FFS
>>
>>3042421
Grow the fuck up and buy it somewhere else.
>>
>>3039017
Well, if someone will pay that much for it, why not sell it to them at that price?
>>
>>3042434
what if its not somewhere else?
>>
>>3042443
Wait for a better price or bite the bullet.

I remember reading another thread on here about scalpers/resellers, and some of the comments were about fucking with them. I recall some of them suggested sending a "pic" of the games you'd like to sell them, and do a switch-n-bait so that it's actually gay porn or something like when the scalper opens it in e-mail. Or sending them a fake address to the middle of buttfuck nowhere, so they drive out there for no reason, thinking they'll get SNES rpg's for $5 a piece.

I've never done any of these myself, it's tempting to do it on Kijiji, but if you really want to fuck with them those are some ways you could do it. At least if you're talking about ones on craiglist and shit.
>>
>>3039163
Yes. the US$ in front of the number means beaverbux

>>3039515
>It's for a lot of them you fucking retards
>1 x Controller Grey
Ignore these fucking retards. They don't know 1 is a lot.
>>
>>3042479
Nah, don't send them to a fake address. Send them to an existing address that's not near you.

Bonus points if you use streetmaps to find a landmark on the street to reference in your email to the guy.
>>
The seller has run out of the controllers
They bump the list price up to retarded amounts so they dont have to close it and pay the fee to open a new one
It will drop back down to the 5-10 dollars or whatever it was when they come back in stock
>>
>>3042334
It does say K A on the label but in black letters. Still floppy.
>>
>>3042334
*sloppy. What the fuck...
>>
>wwwaaaahhh a collector's item that exists in limited quantities costs money, boo hoo
It's a perfectly reasonable price, goyim.
>>
>>3039017
OP you uneducated faggot, learn how the basics of onlinestores work
>>
>>3039185
If you end it and relist you lose the 18 sold etc
>>
>>3043893
It will also lose its search rank which can make a huge difference.
