WTF (http://cgi.ebay.com/Final-Fantasy-VII-7-Playstation-PS2-GH-Mint_W0QQitemZ104753390110QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Izret101 on July 02, 2006, 06:08:56 PM I checked after you sent me that link.
GH and Non GH versions are oth going for upwards of 35$s. If i could get a fucking sellers account set up i would be selling mine right now and go to a shop and pick up a few more copies for 15-20$s. At least thats what they were priced last i knew. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Tynstar on July 02, 2006, 06:45:06 PM Ummmmm I am thinking thats a joke.
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Izret101 on July 02, 2006, 07:06:55 PM Umm did you check eBay?

The auction Fighter posted is $5,100. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 02, 2006, 10:03:00 PM Yeah, it was obviously a fake bid, likely to drive up the seller's feedback. But the fact that it's selling for at least double what it sells for new, I'd be happy to make that investment...well, short term anyway...I don't want to have a huge stockpile of them when the price drops :P
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: captain_nintendo on July 02, 2006, 11:07:29 PM Even still.... I think I have 3 or 4 copies of the non GH versions somewhere.
Might be time to sell. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on July 03, 2006, 12:45:51 AM I say everyone who posted here is an idiot. With the exception of me and Scott. ;)
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 03, 2006, 12:52:54 AM I'm not saying I'd pay $50 for a copy of a game I can't stand...one of the top 10 most overrated games in history, in my opinion anyway...but if I can buy a copy for $15 and then sell it for $50, well hell, I might as well take that opportunity before it's gone :p
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: captain_nintendo on July 03, 2006, 07:42:58 AM I say everyone who posted here is an idiot. With the exception of me and Scott. ;) :fu2: The fact that I have 3 or 4 copies of this game doesnt mean I paid much for them. But if I can sell them for 40 - 50 bucks a pop, then why does that make me an idiot? That would be like 30 - 40 dollars profit on every copy I bought. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: ganonbanned on July 03, 2006, 08:54:37 AM i know exactly what happened. i put this on the forum on benheck.com. somebody else saw it on digitpress. it just so happens that the seller uses digit press. this is what the seller said:
Quote Hello everyone I'm dugongatee and was the seller of this auction. When I saw that my auction closed at $5,100 for FFVII GH - I was pissed. :angry: I thought it was punk kids or something screwing up my auction. Damaniel's scenario is correct. The winner was a newbie with (1) feedback that set a really high proxy bid. A second newbie that won one of my other auctions (FF7 disc 3 only GH - which he never paid) placed a high proxy bid of $5,000. In short the winner contacted me afraid I would take her to court. She had been trying to find this game for her son. (could have just bought multiple "but it now" listings for cheaper) (?) :hmm: Taking every angle of this into consideration. I played nice guy. We agreed a bid of $85.02 + $7.50SH - it's not 5G's!!! - but still great for a GH version. She paid, I shipped, end of story. ( i feel so dirty) LOL so in other words 2 n00bs were being stupid and set high maximum bids thinking no one would bid that high. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Tynstar on July 03, 2006, 12:41:57 PM WOW what a nice guy fucked her out of 92 dollars. :nono:
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 03, 2006, 02:00:12 PM Better than fucking her out of $5000 :P
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: captain_nintendo on July 03, 2006, 02:50:43 PM WOW what a nice guy fucked her out of 92 dollars. :nono: More like 42 - 50 dollars. They have been going for 40 - 55 dollrs after all :P Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Fighter17 on July 03, 2006, 03:27:10 PM WOW what a nice guy fucked her out of 92 dollars. :nono: That's still too much for A GREATEST HITS VERSION! Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 03, 2006, 06:38:47 PM As far as I'm concerned, the game is one hell of an overrated turd, and I wouldn't pay more than $5 for one just because I don't have it...but if they're selling for that much I'd gladly pay $15 for one just to sell it. As far as I'm concerned, you're only getting screwed if you don't feel it's worth it. If you're willing to spend the money, then realistically the item is worth the money to you.
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: atari_wizard on July 03, 2006, 08:49:00 PM I only have 2 PSX games, 1 being this FFVII. It's the greatest hits version and I would gladly exchange it for a Andrew Jackson piece of green paper.
***so if this was just a joke, does the seller have to pay eBay their percentage for the ending price?*** Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Rejinx on July 03, 2006, 09:54:28 PM Man, why so much hateing on FFVII. Yes, compared to todays RPGs, it dosen't stand a chance. But, yall have to try to remember 1997. When this game came out there was nothing out there that could touch it. I know some people would argue that point :nono: and I know I won't put down more then $15 for it, but this game did rock really hard.
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: atari_wizard on July 03, 2006, 10:04:20 PM Man, why so much hateing on FFVII. Not sure. I agree with you that it was a great game of its time, only because my friends were talking about it non stop. I myself have never owned it, but since I'm not into collecting PSX games, I wouldn't mind getting a trade or cash for it. Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 03, 2006, 10:40:23 PM Back in 1997, I found it to be an overrated turd. Never liked it, and in all honesty, I haven't liked a Final Fantasy game since then.
EDIT: Oh, and for the record, not a single one of my favorite RPGs came from the current gen, or for that matter, any console in the last 10 years. So it's got nothing to do with today's "standards" which are in my opinion alot lower than they were back when I was a kid. I would much rather play my games than watch a half-hour cutscene for every 45 minutes of gameplay. RPGs just aren't what they used to be...but that's a whole other topic... Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: DragonMaster_Sam on July 03, 2006, 11:36:00 PM No way should Final Fantasy VII be priced for that much money on Ebay, Half.com, Amazon, or anywhere. I got mine over a year ago at FYE for only $14.99.
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: the_wizard_666 on July 04, 2006, 12:33:40 AM People keep paying it. Makes me wanna hit EB, Wal-Mart, and whatever pawn shops I can...
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: Hounder on July 04, 2006, 04:17:40 AM And to think I bought mine sealed a few years back for $10 only later to toss in the garbage since I lost one of the cds....
Title: Re: Get as many complete copies of FFVII NOW! Post by: atari_wizard on July 04, 2006, 09:54:10 AM And to think I bought mine sealed a few years back for $10 only later to toss in the garbage since I lost one of the cds.... I hate when I find a 2 or 3 cd set and one disc is missing, that drives me krazy as well. You scored for only 10 bucks sealed. I bought mine from a flea market for 1 buck and I got another psx game (music generation 3 cd set or maybe 4 discs). |
