7800fan Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Close to the top of the eBay slime ball list IMO. Below sellers who intentionally shill his own auction. Happiestseller has a rather aggressive bidding style where he'd bid in high to guarantee a win or make buyer pay high price, and when he gets it he resells for an arm and a leg.

+SabertoothRetro Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I know that jagflation continues to be an issue on eBay but this is crazy. A Jaguar, a "finnicky" Jag CD, a procontoller and a handful of common games. The seller emphasizes that there are no returns or gaurantees due to the nature of "vintage" electronics. With an asking price of $900, who wouldnt want to take the plunge? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 201409126126 IMHO, at most he has about $550 in value there given the consoles are unboxed and theit true working nature is dubious.

nofrills100 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Just crazy... Must be a scam. Strangely his user id list the seller as being in Canada, but the item is being sold out of Melbourne in Australia. Maybe he thought, whilst on holidays, he could flog a few 'super rare repros' to unsuspecting Australians? Here are some screen grabs for future reference.
