You can also add a warranty for $199 more! Now how cool is that?

It's strange though, if you check his feedback, all the hard drives he actually sold were sold at a normal rate between $15-$50. Maybe folks just e-mail them with offers?

How would they possibly honor the warranty on a long discontinued hard drive?

This is the best scam ever, you warrant something that can no longer be repaired or serviced and even at the current pricing on HDD's now a days, they would just send you a so-called suitable substitute 😉
No matter where you go, there you are...

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

So if you still had an old Aopen YM724 sound card in working order without the packaging, then how much is that worth 😜

It is probably best to preserve these outregeous offerings with image evidence (attached).

Right. We could even have a museum with these absur...err...exhibits around. What am I saying? THIS is THE Museum! 😁
That "Add $199 for warranty" for that old hard drive is the killer punch line. (Somebody hold my ribs,please!) 🤣

Rather expensive for a card released in 2003/2004. Or is this a really really really good card?

And

It may be mint condition, but I doubt it originally sold for £300.
And
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALIEN-SOLDIER-OZISO … =item19cf338004
£300 and you don't even get to see the box...
And I've never heard of these games before, so they can't be that good.
Just spotted this:

Even more expensive, but at least you get to see what you're buying (if you're mad enough to do so 😁)
Don't SEGA games usually go for $1? At least this seller has enough smarts to include the "Make Offer" feature.

A little something I ran across while browsing around. Apparently this guy is projecting prices 15 years from now.

If you had heard of them, they wouldn't be rare. There are a lot of rather terrible video games out there whose value is nonetheless high because of collectors seeking a complete set of games for a system. Being unfamiliar with the PAL Mega-CD and 32X scene, I can't say if that applies to those.

I understand that retro rigs are becoming rarer and rarer these days, but come on now, 200 bucks?
Looks like it's in great condition, but still. This rig is nothing special.
Crimson Tide - EVGA 1000P2; ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS; 2x E5-2697 v3 14C 3.8 GHz on all cores (All core hack); 64GB Samsung DDR4-2133 ECC
EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3; EVGA 750 Ti SC; Sound Blaster Z
I think your choice of the $304.60 shipping option is funnier. 😜

Lol, Priority Mail is still $115 bucks. I'd jump on one of those rigs just for the case alone if it came to like $50-60 bucks shipped.

Lol, might as well build your own. It's cheaper and you get way better parts 😁

Common as dirt, in poor condition, worth about $1 at the most.

Fake auctions would be preferable to any of the ugly realities:
1: Idiots that simply expect way too much for their supposedly "rare" but actually quite common bit of garden variety 90s hardware
2: Hoarders working to exploit desperate over-cashed collectors, see #3
3: Collectors with more dollars than sense, desperate for "that one last bit", falls for and thus vindicates #2
4: What sliderider said.I'd much rather believe they were just gag auctions than the truth that the world is full of horrible people.
Don't forget money laundering.

I mentioned this possibility on page one.

Someone with some dirty money to unload before the police catch up to him "buys" one of these outrageously priced items from an "associate" who then withdraws the payment in his own location then the two of them meet up on a Carribean island outside the jurisdiction of the authorities and live like kings for the rest of their lives.
