Why on Earth is Cye $359.75?!?

[+Gemintronic]

Good Deal Games is selling Cye for over $300 bucks! Er, why?

Is the last copy of a homebrew really that zomg rare? Not complaining. Just don't understand why they think that's reasonable.

Rarity is a strange beast.

Rarity isn't a strange beast at all PixelBoy, but the human mind on the other hand would definitely count as a strange beast!

 

I kept putting off buying Cye CIB from GDG for over two years until a couple weeks ago when I finally decided to purchase it and another PkK game. Well, let's just say that I'm glad that I did so when I did seeing as it only cost me $34.75.

 

I guess this can all revert back to the "Free/Open Market" argument, but to see a distributor of Homebrews jumping on the bandwagon in such a manner is a little disconcerting to say the least even though it's well within their rights to do so. Like anything else of this manner, the game will sit there unsold until the price is adjusted accordingly and in the meantime I am sure that other CIB copies will show up in the usual places at more respectable starting prices.

 

Good Luck to all who need it for their collection in finding it at a fair price.

I'm also somewhat confused.

 

I think that maybe is a finger mistake, because of this I don't have updated the price in my Colecovision Homebrew List.

[nanochess]

Just I've contacted Michael and he says is a mistake, the right price is $39.75

Just looked at the GDG website, and it's listed for $39.75. Maybe someone made a mistake and corrected it?

 

..and it looks like Nanochess beat me to it

I wonder if someone had bought and paid the $359.75 price tag, if a refund would have been offered? I'm sorry for speaking my mind like this but I DID wake up on the wrong side of the bed today.

I actually sent him and email checking on the price, and then actually bought it as my list didn't show me as owning it. Don't know how I would have missed it. Or I do have it, but it isn't added to my list and in a few months when I start unpacking my collection I will realize I have two.

 

OP, thanks for posting this topic as I may have missed out on this title.

It's actually a very fun and challenging mind game (I'm a sucker for these) once you dedicate the time to playing thru all the levels. It doesn't have all the fancy graphics and sound effects of other Homebrew titles, but without a doubt it offers a lot of play value versus the price.

P.S. Well actually the price of roughly $40, not $360!

Actually, I just shot myself in the foot by making this topic. Think of all the eBay moneys I could have made!

 

Seriously, you guys are awesomely pro-active. I'm glad someone stepped up and contacted GoodDealGames.
