Check out the sick Ebay auction I just won... (Pics added!)

Well, the Lunar: Eternal Blue guide sells for about $65-$70 alone. All of the items have good value, but that's definitely the cream of the crop.
 
But everything in that auction is like new ^^^

I can't judge how good of a deal it is though. All that matters is you are happy.
 
Considering the fact that I've been emailing people offering them $55 shipped for their Lunar: EB guide, only to be turned down, I'm very happy with this auction.
 
Haha, that I can. :)

The only thing I really needed from that lot was the EB guide, so I'll resell the rest and make my money back and maybe even a profit!
 
They guides had low print-runs and the games are hard to find 100% complete and in mint shape. It's kind of like the whole SNES deal. Complete, mint games are worth much more than cart-only versions of the same game.
 
No matter how much the games are "worth" you still paid $123 for just 2 games and guides. I wouldn't think that would be an accomplishment on CAG.
 
Well, you're a fool in that case. How can you not factor in the value of the games? I plan to resell everything except for the Lunar: Eternal Blue guide. More than likely, I'll get all of my money back and probably some profit. You guys aren't very smart; I've completely over-estimated your sense of a good deal. :p I guess an essentially free guide that's worth about $60 isn't a good deal.
 
[quote name='Quackzilla']lol, total ripoff.

Have these people ever heard of Gamefaqs?[/QUOTE]

Hey, it's much like collecting original art pieces. Why pay extreme prices for an original piece of art when you can just as easily get a copy of the same item? Well, you pay for quality and name. I need the guide for my PS1 rpg collection and I probably wouldn't find it for less than $70 shipped. Why not pay $50 more and get two excellent, semi-rare games in fantastic shape and an extra guide?

Eh, don't even bother. Apparently if you didn't get it for free or almost free it's like "OMG U RNT A CHEAP ASS GAMER! MONEY HAVING NOOB!"

@_@
 
Yeah, I'm slightly confused. I've basically been told "Who cares about the value. Even though it's worth much more than what you paid, you paid a high price and that's bad!"
 
I think that's an awesome deal. I scored the other day by getting a mint complete Suikoden I and Suikoden II in the same auction for $110 shipped. I can easily resell the Suikoden II alone for more than that if I choose to.
 
I guess people don't like it when people brag in the bragging forum. If I had money right now I would buy an auction like that in a second as long as the seller was reputable.

Omg, you paid a lot!! Hehe...

In any case, good deal! Especially if both games are complete and mint, that's a very good price.
 
Who said that people can't dispute whether or not something is worthy of bragging about? The people who spoke stated their opinion on the matter, and now you're just bitching. Chill the fuck out.
 
If they were well-backed opinions, I'd be fine with it. If you consider, "Dude, you paid $123 for two games and two guides" a valid and well-backed opinion, then go for it. ;-)

Also, I don't understand why you are telling me to chill out. When was I not "chilled out"?

An opinion doesn't have to be backed by anything or anyone but the person stating it. That's why it's called an opinion.

This is the fifth post that you've tried to prove your point in. It seems that you're a little bit too bothered by opinions, and this is why I think you should chill out.
 
The games are going for $40 a piece used at Gamestop but are relatively difficult to find in good condition and complete. The guides are impossible to find. The price on this auction is extremely good if not even a steal by collectors standards.

Nice CAG find IMHO.
 
An opinion certainly doesn't have to be backed, but I don't see why you'd state your opinion if you have nothing to rely on. I can go around stating my opinions as much as I like, but if they don't have any merit, what's the point? That's the thing I was curious to know. Why are people responding to this topic making it seem like it's not a good deal when I've posted ample evidence to prove that these items are quite pricey and hard to find.

Well, it's a great deal for you because those items obviously hold a lot of value for you. For a lot of people though, that's really pricey (even if that's below what the going rate is). I can certainly see how people wouldn't think this was a great deal. Just take it in stride.
 
I can definitely understand people not knowing the value of games and I completely understand what you are saying. I should have just posted the info to inform them and left it alone. Thanks for the input.

No, see. You're acting quite holier-than-thou. The point is that we don't care. How could anyone who frequents these forums not know the value of these games? Christ.
 
If its not a flipping deal or a gamecrazy loophole, no one cares anymore. Awesome find OP. And the argument of gamefaqs, is the second stupidest thing I've heard all day.

It came from Quackzilla, he's the dumbest of the dumb so don't be shocked by a stupid things eminating from his keyboard. His brain is full of stupid things.

hey man their are very few of us at CAG who value RPG's highly, and yes you got a AWESOME deal, congrats once again.

I think the majority of the posters here value RPG's highly. It's just the majority don't value guides highly.

You're going way off on a tangent. What are you talking about? Is this NOT the bragging forums? Tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll stop. If people don't care about the values of the games or the games in general, why are they even bothering to post? Notice your third sentence.... "The point is that we don't care."
 
2 old games and 2 old guides for a shitload of money!

This deal is so good its like you stole the games and guides from him! .... then felt bad a few minutes later and left an excessive amount of money on his doorstep.

I quoted you in my post because I was responding to what you said. "The point is that we don't care," refers to the fact that you think we don't know the value of the games. We know the value, and we still think it's stupid. That's all I was saying.

This is dumb, at any rate.

What part is stupid? The part where I resell some of the stuff and make all of my money back and profit, or the part where I paid much less than what the items are currently selling for?
