MORTAL KOMBAT: DECEPTION - RAIDEN KOLLECTOR XBOX GOING FOR $100 ON EBAY

:shock: Maybe it's because alot of Wal-Mart's haven't been carrying it. The three near me don't have it.
 
Now that is just rediculious, someone should find those bidders and kill them, as they don't deserve to live.

How the hell can you justify someone's life by paying too much for a video game?

Easy I just did, stop being such an asshole and lighten up sometimes.
 
[quote name='Monsta Mack']Do they normally go this high? Theres five sitting on my Wal-Mart shelf, maybe I should grab them all?[/quote]

The Raiden Edition usually ends around $60. But this auction is up too $100 and his other auction is at 60+ with 3 days left. I suggest you pick some up and track future auctions. If its just 2-3 buyers that are paying the high prices, you can always return them.

i imagine that it was an exaggeration, similar to "i paid an arm and a leg for that raiden special edition of mortal kombat deception, i'm so embarassed that i think i'm going to die."

it rules that there is someone else was also willing to pay $100 for this game. the high bidder is totally going to pay for it, too, since he has 290 positives with 100% feedback rating. good job, guy.

i should just go buy a special edition and put it up with a BIN of $79.99 and see what happens.

1. i doubt that i would actually bother, it was just to put an exclamation point out how unintelligent and uninformed people on ebay (and people on the internet in general) are.

2. dude, you need to get over your little problem with me. it doesn't matter to me, and it shouldn't matter to you. it seems that it does matter to you, though, which kind of makes you a bit of a, uh, joke.

Goodtone has a problem with everyone. *pssst* He's a rockstar.
 
anyone who goes through all that trouble to sell a game on ebay just to make $15 or less is a joke whether it's you or Bozo the clown. It doesn't matter who it is. I call that "Desperate to make a buck". Also for your information, there are about 6 different people that post under this name here at the studio. The guy that owns the studio here will not let anyone log his name out. So everyone that comes through the recording studio here shares this name to post with. There is alot of video game playing going on in here while each person is waiting to do their part in the recording process....everyone here plays games and the owner always has every new game the day it comes out. This is a cool place to hang out play games and create music.
 
[quote name='tholly']just a quick question....

how many different collector's edition covers of this game are there for the xbox?[/quote]

Believe there is 4, Raiden, Scorpion, Mileena, Baraka.

I believe you just called me a joke. I don't see why selling a game on ebay and making $15 or less makes you a joke especially when everyone on here goes out of their way to save $5-$15 on a game. I believe that every dollar saved and every dollar earned counts. Eventually everything will add up.

Why do you taint this message board with your rambling bullshit, you obviously don't need to be here since the point of this website is to get video games for cheap, and you don't seem to need the services here?

bla bla bla, who cares ?
 
Ok let me break it down for your dumbass.......
$3 gas money to get to Wal Mart and back
$59.77 plus tax for Special Edition Raiden Mortal Kombat
(20 minutes in Walmart just to get the game out of the case and rang up.)
Ebay Listing fees approx $2.34
Final value fees approx $2.00
$3 gas money to get to post office
total time invested buying, listing, selling ,and sending off item for Buy it now price of $79.99 plus $5 shipping equals approx 1 hour and 45 minutes

Profit approx $12.60 to $15.00 give or take a few cents here or there.
Now you do the math and see what you come up with. Like I said you must be desperate to invest $60 of your own money (capital), all that time, and energy just to make a little bit of money.....Now if you are buying $5 games at CC or BB then turning them around for $12 profit, now that's a little smarter (I wouldn't do it, but it's still smarter if you are going to sell games)...because you are basically doubling your investment.....spending $60 plus almost 2 hours of your time to make $12 -$15 is just a joke. You might want to invest your money in a business course textbook, if that is your idea of making money.........like I said what a joke..
 
Woohoo! FLAME ON!

People are so touchy here. =P

Dang, I'd love to make an extra fifteen bucks per game. Sell three games, I get one free for myself. =)

In fact, isn't that how much people are saving in the B2G1 free at toys r us? =)

Note: Most small businesses that cater to service (ie: food, personal needs) average about 5 dollars in profit per product if they're lucky. So to get a return of 15 is good indeed. Especially without needing to pay the middle man. =) So 15/60 is a 25% return? Dude, that's better than some of my stocks. =D

EDIT: Dude, 3 bucks round trip in your car? What kind of 6000lb Titan'esque Ozone killer ar eyou driving? Or how far is your wally world? o_O
 
Right, but those businesses are selling MANY units. How many Raiden Wal Mart Mortal Kombat Special editions do you think he could sell on ebay for that price? Not so many I would seem to think..
When a food service or vendor sets up to sell, they are moving major amounts of product at a very fast pace which adds up to decent profits. Running up to Wal Mart to buy a $60 game to sell it for $13 profit is like I said before "Desperate to make a buck". The gas, time, and fees were all approximate and gas does cost over $2 a gallon these days in case you didn't notice.

Seriously, most cars get at least 15-20 miles per gallon, and if you were already at wal-mart getting something and already going to post office to mail something else, then it doesn't matter how much gas costs, since you were going to go to those places anyways...
 
The distribution seems to be really funny on these collector's packs. The only one's I can find around me are Mileena, the other stores that are supposed to carry different characters jsut simply don't have them in stock. WalMart especially. I'm glad I picked up my copy at Target cause if I had to wait to get my favorite character (Raiden) then I would be ticked.
 
petrol is over $3 a gallon in several states besides CA; that's a fair estimate if it's a twelve mile trip to the nearest Wal-mart.

my question is why the post offices are so far away.
 
[quote name='wubb']Are there people that actually live 12 miles away from a Wal-Mart? ;)[/quote]

I know huh, theres's 3 within 5 miles of me.

I haven't seen anything but Mileena and Sub-Zero. (Which I have for PS2) Haven't seen Raiden, Baraka, or Scorpion.
 
[quote name='Goodtone']Mileena is much hotter than Raiden, so I picked her.[/quote]

I not some bands in Atlanta...ever heard of Rufus Sun?
