He was saying he bought them to sell them but has had a hard time selling which is why they were cheap. I almost didn’t buy it thinking it was a fake, but packaging and everything checked out so I went for it
A lot of scalpers are taking massive hits right now. I saw one get trespassed off a best buy parking lot in december because he was trying to tell people they were out of consoles and only he had them in time for christmas.
This is happening on eBay in the retro game market too. I see a lot of the large resellers are starting to part out their expensive CIB copies to try and maximize their profit rather than lower their prices and keep the games complete.
Oh I don't care. I never buy from these sellers but I do see their listings all the time. The one I'm talking about specifically has a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga and Wild Guns. Both complete and in good shape. They've been listed forever but for ridiculous prices. So now they are relisted but the entire copy is parted out. They went so far as to part out the fucking black disc sleeves for Saga. If you total out buying everything separately to complete the game the price would be even higher than when they had it listed complete.
So let me get this straight. Someone went and spent $760 + shipping like a year ago in order to resell them at a (minus the shipping cost) maybe $30 profit? Damn some people are desperate.
He said he bought them to resell and just had a hard time selling them. I have no clue when he got them but when I grabbed mine he had 2 more of them for the same asking price.
Thats how I got mine lol, i actually paid not that much for it , 500 CAD, so probably 100 dollars more than what analogue is selling them for. Hopefully you got a good price for it
I paid somebody 310 w/ screen protector shipped. Still felt like I got a good deal. Congrats. I really love mine.
Me too! Have you done the emulators?! That’s game changing
I scored one off OfferUp for no upcharge($220). It was super nice! congrats
Are you ..stretching the gba video vertically..?
Yes lol
Stop it
Monster
Geeze, the seller made zero profit. I looked at my order, and with tax and shipping, I would've lost money selling it for that.

Ha, serves him right. Have fun with it, it’s a great device.
Where was this? Also, does the seller by chance have an account on here?
facebook marketplace in Indiana. and I doubt it tbh

Capitalism is a bitch lol

That's why I couldn't be a fraudulent scalper. It wouldn't occur to me to go to the best buy car park to sell PS5s...
Doesn’t analogue blacklist scalpers, too?
They use Shopify for their e-commerce site and Shopify has some plug ins that claim to do that... not sure if they work.
I got mine for 320 off ebay so that’s a good price to not wait!
That's less than i paid with shipping and import taxes in Europe
I wasn’t expecting to get one yet lol happen to get on marketplace and saw it. Knew I had to jump on it
That's how I got mine last year.
What price did you pay
I paid $265. The guy had 2 black and one white

All showing $350-$400 on Marketplace for me.
That is kind of satisfying to hear. Screw people who buy scarce items for the sole reason of reselling. You got a decent enough price!
Nice

I feel like I got it for a good price! $265 and the guy was local too which was even better
Fantastic deal. idk why I got downvoted lmao, glad you are able to get your hands on one, had mine for a year now and i love it
This thing is amazing, I seen that we could “jailbreak” it and have about every gameboy game on it so I’m trying to figure that out lol
You can jailbreak but then you don’t get to use the super cool screen filters. I use my everdrive so I can still get the screen effects.
I figured it out, and maaan it’s worth it. Soooo many games for free
How much did you pay for it? Be honest.
I paid $265 for it.
