Apologies if it has already been posted, I haven't seen it anywhere.
Anyway, I stumbled across a Megadrive/32X/cd combo lot ending soon which was at a really stupidly high price.
Till I looked through the games list.
Check out game number 2. Just thrown in there as if it's any old title -

How the shit balls has that gotten so high?!?
I have it in my watched from when it was at like £20! I remember wondering why an SMS was behind it!
what makes it worse is the state of the consoles.
That only way that could have gotten that high is from people randomly browsing ebay for Megadrive stuff and going 'Holy shitballs! DARXIDE! BID BID BID!'
Just think, he could have put that up with a low buy it now price. Someone could have been very very lucky.
Anyway, I hope he gets what it's worth. Given the condition of the consoles, I wonder what nick the game is in.
His shit is in terrible conditon.
Someone should have asked for pics of the games, or at least Darxide before bidding like mad. You can only trust text so far...
Yeah it could have been a replica cart for all they knew, and thats a lot of faith to put $1024 into.Quote:

That Darxide cart might not actually be in the auction for all you know. Lots of people choose photo evidence over text any day.Quote:

No mention of Darxide in the title.
No 'fake' picture of the game.
Darxide is mentioned after Comix Zone.
It's the exact opposite of what someone who was trying to rip you off would do. Unless it's some mad double bluff, but I seriously doubt it.
I sent him an email when it was at the 500 sterling point (Way more than I could currently bid) just mentioning the rarity of the game to him. Here's his response -
Dear XXXX,
WHAT!?!
- zur-en-arrh
Sounds like geniune suprise to me :D
I can see whoever wins this auction just pays for the Darxide game alone and tossing the consoles aside...
If DarXide is complete and in good condition that winning bidder got quite the steal. The last complete DarXide I saw (a few months ago) sold for $1350 (to me none the less). Which is within $100 of the same price it has sold for the last 4 times on eBay. So congrats to the bidder!!!
Well silly he was listing the games in lexicographical order. So of course it would be after Comix Zone. :pQuote:

I looked around and I can't find one of my 32Xs, I have 3 of them and I can't find any of them how dumb is that.Quote:

EGAD! 1k+ ... for a game? Totally lunacy!
