Ok, so I ask the seller if he really expected to get $500 for it and I told him it was it was a $70 game. I figured it might have been an error in the listing. and his response was then buy it from another seller. What a douche, does he really excpect someone to pay that much!

    I sent him a message too.  Will see if he is nasty to me too. 

    "Hi,

    Did you make a typo?  This is usually a $40-$60 game. 

    Warm regards."

    Well... it IS the rarer blue cart... might be worth a little more... but not THAT much more.
  • Mr. GimmickMr. Gimmick
    yeah, $500 is just bullshit, I can see mabye $80 - $100 because a blue one hasn't surfaced in awhile.
  • srh201srh201
    $80-100 is still too high for this. there is no way it gets even 80-100 unless there is a bidding war. it is a $50-60 game cart only... and that is still on the high end, IMO

    True, I'm just saying for BIN prices, $80 - $100 is about right with an offer option. But yeah totally agree. its a $40 - $60 game no doubt.

    I sent him a $30 offer. *Fingers crossed*
  • ShagsShags
    I also sent a best offer, I went $40 though
  • PenguinPenguin
    I saw the the other day and thought he was nuts.
  • antofarabiaantofarabia
    the game is pretty rare...maybey he just wants to keep it unless someone pays a lot ... i can see that
  • srh201srh201
    why waste the listing fee for something that isnt even going to come close to sell unless he accepts an offer of around $50? crazy asshole!
  • dangevindangevin
    different guy, but about a year or two ago there was a guy trying to do the same thing with this game. Kept mislisting it as "Secret Scroll" image Wanted $500 loose as well.
  • srh201srh201
    well, to his credit, i can see an unlicensed "secret scroll" for the nes going for $500. "secret scout," however, sorry!
  • NESJohnnyNESJohnny
    I just sent him a $33 offer to bug him. I don't actually want it, but I figure if he accidentally accepts or something I'll let one of ya'll have it. Otherwise, hopefully he gets the idea.

    thats the copy i now have, he finally relisted it with a starting bid of like $49.99 or something (it was a while ago as Dan mentioned) and nobody bid but me image
  • dangevindangevin
    I'm overcome by nostalgia, skanker!
  • Mr. GimmickMr. Gimmick
    I hope he changes his price, I still need the blue variant image !
  • smokinjoe24smokinjoe24
    Ha! He dropped it to $99 now.
  • nukienukie
    I can see it selling at 100, due to people needing the variant.
  • Mr. GimmickMr. Gimmick
    Its definately more reasonable then before, not sure I wanna spend 100 on it either tho image
  • srh201srh201
    i still dont see it selling... no frickin way in hell!
  • srh201srh201

  • Dr. MorbisDr. Morbis
    ^ Depends on the colour image

    EDIT: And furthermore, the NA zine has a built in guide...
  • NOFRIENDO-bannedNOFRIENDO-banned
    I think he means a CIB Secret Scout.
  • FantomexFantomex
    He probly realized you were all right and either used another accoutn or a friends account to buy it so it looked like he proved you guys wrong. But in reality he probly didnt sell it

    Nah I think someone did actually buy it, dunno why at that price! I'm chasing these variants like crazy and even I wouldn't have payed that much for that.
