You got shafted out the ass.

Conker's value is only going up. These things are all hype right now. They're gonna loose a lot of value before they gain any more (if they ever do at all *cough* skylanders)

Damn :o

That reminds me of the history of the native Indians of my country when Christopher Columbus discover this island  (all native Indians are all dead because the Spaniards kill them all). They exchange with the Spaniards gold for mirrors, just because the mirrors where shinier and they didn't knew the value of gold as the Spaniards

but in fairness to that analogy - the mirrors were worth more to the native indians, as they didn't have a load of them, and had no means of producing them - the gold was a natural resource that they had an abundance of.  Nobody got ripped off.

Agree on you in that point of view.  but if we go to the economical part, if they knew the value of the gold they wouldn't made that exchange  ;D

Well the box was crushed a somewhat plus it was an extra that I got for free when my family cleaned my dad's house (we could have been on hoarders) and he never got around to opening it. So I didn't really mind parting with it since I still have my own CIB. I actually have a few more games that he bought and never opened that I may trade eventually.

Well, good condition CBFD seiled sells for $200 on eBay, and crushed would be harder to sell.

US vertions of Villager sells for $150, Roselina $40, Falcon $35 or so.

While hype is keeping prices up, the only thing that is going to bring the prices down a lot is a reprint, and it looks like none is going to happen any time soon. And Skylanders does not have a brand like Nintendo behind it, Nintendo figures almost always keep value and go nowhere but up.

Are you planning on opening them? KJM is looking for a us Roselina and I have a UK one spare.

Nope Im actually using them. Captain Falcon is still sealed only because I have him already. I'm either gonna trade him for an amiibo I need or some game(s).

If I received a Ferrari F40 for free, I sure as hell wouldn't trade it for a 2011 Lexus.  Just saying.

A bunch of phishing ads a douchenozzle just relisted.

My buddy e-mailed on like that in my area.  The just said " oh I sold it but check out somestupidbiddingsite.com  That's where I got mine for super cheap" 

I got one one time that just directed me to their Amazon store. Misleading, but not nearly as shady as some of the bidding sites. I might actually believe that you 'just sold it' if you are running a page that sells games, though it still comes off wrong.

Brand New will trade for 3DS XL still in box with receipt and warranty plays all ps games from every ps system make me an offer

So much for all the bad press on the compatibility issues on the PS TV.  Some guy on Craigslist says you are all wrong..... ::)

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

The vacuum is not for trade, it's just if you have one. You go to his house, show a picture for proof, and he will give you the controller.
