Have a look at this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-PUNISHER-Sega-Mega-Drive-CAPCOM-NEW-Collectors-HOLY-GRAIL-FREE-WORLD-POST-/190685833987?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item2c65c2eb03#ht_19020wt_1042

The Punisher is a desirable game, but he describes this as "new" and "still sealed" and yet the pictures clearly show the box open and him playing the game cart!

£987.65 seems a bargain :/

Good old Spence. This copy of Total Carnage is cart only, so it's obviously worth 5 times the boxed and complete versions out there:

Spence is a prize pillock who seems to have learned nothing. I wonder if he's still got his store room in the bog?

not mega rare, but perhaps we should start a theme of terrible auctions as well? I'll get us started with this gem:-

Obiovusly that's not what he thinks it's worth, but I can't think of the logic in displaying them at that price?

Not ebay, but Amazon, I just came across these two gems:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... EAT%20Shop

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... EAT%20Shop


I know Nintendo stuff is going up in price but that is completely absurd.

Love the note under the titles, 'only one left, order soon' :lol:

If you don't mind another amazon link I've been stunned by these before.

For the pleasure of 240 pages of BBC Micro Programming Goodness.

And that's with 2 copies available - competition driving down the price and passing the savings on to you.
