Quick bit of market research if you don't mind, would you buy a game that had a small blood stain on the box?
Of all the times to cut my hand it's when I'm listing something on ebay!

That being said, he's barely got any games on the systems I already have that I actually want, to be honest. Not much in there worth spending all that money on, you'd be best just buying what you wanted separately for a fraction of the cost.

Chatham Kent? Only a 5 min train ride for me, if I had a spare few grand, lol. XD

It's most likely attracting greedy traders (such as the much spoken of spence.77) so they can then waste their life organising, advertising, selling, and posting hundreds of items..

Ive had numerous traders buy stuff from em only to see the items up on ebay the following week.. I dont have a problem with that really, but sometimes its for about £3 more than they paid for it (see also spence.77) .. so after ebay and paypal take their cut they won't have made anything (often they will probably lose money). Ive also had greasy, toothless little shysters come round to collect and pay cash via either ebay or gumtree.. and then seen the items up for sale again days later..

I figure if people want to spend their time this way to make a pittance then that's their prerogative.

I saw a rare pal copy of death and return of superman for the MD on ebay the other week for £500 buy it now.....for a second i was tempted then it dawned on me that the missus would cut of my knackers with a rusty breadknife if id done it.

The end of the day people like Spence must make a living off it especially if as someone pointed out on here a while back he must be getting £1000+ a month credit card bills for his listings alone. If you got that lot for a reasonable price you could make quite a bit selling it off individualy, alot of hassle yes but sometimes you've got to do a bit of hardwork to make some cash. If i had a spare few grand i wouldn't mind bidding on it.

It really isnt worth that much, the game itself is poor

I've heard the game is a a load of tosh before, but there are a few games in my collection ive never played for exactly this reason, however its rare as rocking horse sh*t and seems to consistantly garner a hefty price tag as a result.

Since when were rarity, quality and value all related?

Yeah - i mean look at Justice League Task Force - seen that change hands at moderate prices - possibly one of the worst beat em ups since eternal champions.
