most ridiculous MEGA RARE on ebay?

[adippm82]

Now this is just absurd, completely taking the pee pee

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PENTAGRAM-ult ... 5000791322

Probably only £175 over what it is worth, hell even the much rarer MSX version would only cost about £30 to £40.

Even Bubbler, which is much harder to come by only goes for £60 to £80.

That is amazing.

I paid £37 for a mint Pentagram and I thought that was excessive!

I paid £40 for Martianoids which sometimes goes for more than Bubbler.

I did however pay £80 for Bubbler

The reason I pushed the boat out on these is because they were the last 3 Ultimate games for me to buy to finish my Ultimate spectrum collection.

[adippm82]

That is not unusual for Bubbler to be honest, I have a near complete Ultimate collection on all formats, bar Knight lore and Gunfright on MSX, oh and the mythical silver Sinclair label Tranz Am, and by far the most expensive game was Amstrad Bubbler on Disk, that cost me £84, but I have not seen a copy before or since, luckily I had the Spectrum cassette from back in 1987, only cost £2.99 in a sale then.

I think anyone could have a very good go at getting a complete Ultimate Spectrum collection for around the cost of that Pentagram, and he does not say if the pull out sheet is in there either, absolutely nuts.

If he or she is basing their entire pricing strategy on it being the only copy on ebay, then they are going to be sorely disappointed.

I also have the complete Ultimate Collection on the Commodore 64, however that is much easier as there are less games. Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde and Nightshade can fetch a pretty penny sometimes.

Are you looking for the original msx releases of those 2 games because they are available on MSX Compilations.

[adippm82]

..That reminds me, I have never seen the Disc versions that were released of the Commodore games, there was a coupon inside the box, where you could send the cassette back and they would send out a disc in return, I have never seen one out in the wild.

Underwurlde cost me the most of the Commodore set, £27, there are a few cheaper bins than that at the moment, mind you mine was pretty mint.

The one I had most trouble with was Staff of Karnath. I had to get 4 copies before I found one that would load properly.

I have Knight Lore as part of a compilation and a loose cartridge, Gunfright I have a loose cassette with a homemade inlay, but I want to get a full set of originals.

I was lucky with Staff of Karnath I have heard a few people have trouble with that, My only copy has always worked, I loaded it up a couple of weeks ago, really do not like the game though much!!

FFS if its mega rare - take the price label off. I got 3 of these from GS in Wolverhampton at the same price in same condition.

[jdanddiet]

Lol that is cheeky/stupid, delete as you feel appropriate!

[GameOverYeah]

Love the fact he kept the game 98p clearence sticker on. Big no no, especially when your selling it for 10 times the price

Really annoys me how almost all sellers have to put Rare on anything remotely old. Especially when it's a sports game they are selling for 99p.

[dste]

Someone should contact them offering 98p.

[shiftytigger]

I take all labels off anything I sell - especially ones that face the bleedin camera. Some people don't even clean the damn stuff - but that pokemon was funny.

[commanderkaiser]

I've noticed a few people keeping labels like that on.

The one which made me laugh the other day was on this PS1 game. It had the label from Cash Converters/Generator still on it but he just scratched the price off, I just thought what was the point really I mean most people know that PS1 games there are either 50p or 99p or something like that.

[Flint]

This is genuinely mega rare (and in great condition) but I thought I'd post it anyway as the price has almost reached £8000.
