Dreamer of the year (Arcade Edition)

Tallon · 31-05-2011 11:22AM #1

So, following on from the highly successful 'Dreamer of the year' thread in Motors and the few auctions that pop up here every now and again, I though it would be a good idea to start a thread for Retro stuff that... Well, baffles belief at the price they are looking!

Exhibit A

Has to be a mistake :eek:

o1s1n · 31-05-2011 11:38AM

Okay, so I might be cheating here..but it's one of the most stupid things I've seen in a while and he only did it as he thinks it'll be retro of the future -

Lol add a cheap plastic case and suddenly the price skyrockets. I'll off to lay a few turds in some collectible game boxes and sell them on ebay.

Tallon · 31-05-2011 11:46AM

The reviews are amazing

pdbhp · 31-05-2011 12:07PM

No mistake here, this bloke is a gem!!

Retr0gamer · 31-05-2011 12:08PM

The giant red text makes it rarer.

Tallon · 31-05-2011 12:20PM

THE UNIT IS SELF EXPLANITARY ANYWAY AS

THE GAMEBOY SIMPLY SLOTS INTO THE TOP AND HEY-PRESTO.

At least quarter-millionaires can afford it now. They always got a rough time.

Retr0gamer · 31-05-2011 01:08PM

It might be very rare but he can **** of with a quarter million. Unless fiddy cent is a fan of the original game he's **** out of luck because I don't know any other millionaires stupid enough.

CiDeRmAn · 31-05-2011 02:24PM

Hey, I have a copy of Fifa Soccer for the MD, if I wrap a plastic casing around it and stick it on adverts for 250 euro, can I get a shout out here?
Can one buy ones way onto the Dreamer of the Year (Arcade Edition) wall of fame????

landsleaving · 31-05-2011 03:01PM

At €150 for a PS2 that's... perfectly working! This is a steal

http://www.adverts.ie/playstation/ps2-controllers-games/628662

But even better for you bargain hunters... 9 games at €5 each, 2 controllers for €10 each and a guitar hero guitar for €20... (total €85) He'll do the lot for only €250! Wowzers!

I'd buy it if he had a memory card. Oh well

Retr0gamer · 31-05-2011 03:12PM

Wow that's a saving of -50.01 euro. Emphasise on the minus sign since you can get a nw PS2 for 99.99 euro.

I think this guy really needs to split his 'job lot'! http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/consoles-games-accessories/423125

Nice stuff, but don't know if you'll get anyone paying 1100!

He's a decent chap..I bought a PSone from him with an LCD for €25. When I met him to pick it up, he said he was going to try and sell the lot together. I haven't a clue why. Must have been over a year ago now.

Augmerson says 29/01/2011 2:10 am (4 months ago): do you mind me asking what games and accessories you get for a mere 1, 100 euro?

LOL at Augman!!:D

Dark Savior · 01-06-2011 11:55PM

Not sure if this is over priced or not as they never come up on ebay lol

Fupping Heck!
Mad lunatic prices!

€750 for a zx spectrum. He is chancing his leg if ever I seen it. He'd be lucky to get 50 - 60 in my opinion. I couldn't even give away one of my zx spectrums.

Tallon · 02-06-2011 08:59PM

I gave away a zx last year

o1s1n · 03-06-2011 08:12AM

I know it's a complete Final Fantasy collection, but $14,900?

Check the completed listings, people have actually paid those prices.

Windwaker Scroll - $1,600

Swordquest - $429.99

Halloween 2600 - $569.99

I wonder did the Angry Video Game Nerd buy that Halloween to review?
