Overpriced

[New Frontiersman]

I was looking at Pokemon Black on Amazon earlier and saw this, I'm not sure I would be willing to pay this much for a game.

I just thought this was funny and wanted to share, and I swear I didn't alter this in any way, this was the actual listed price for the game by that seller.


Edit:
Okay I fixed the image. Sorry about that, this is the first time I've embedded an image into a post and I was having a bit of trouble.

Also here's the link in case you want to buy the $99,999.00 game:

Heh, I once saw a copy of Soul Nomad and the World Eaters from a seller on Play.com for £999.99

Picture isn't showing up for me, what is the price the seller is asking for.

Edit: Never Mind just saw the op's link. Really? I only paid £20 for my copy.

Wow $100K that must be a joke.

(I hate video captchas)

5th Anniversary Edition of Oblivion costs about the same. Get that instead.

Captcha: and roducco. Google search ruducco:

actually, its $200k. because you also need pokémon white.

They must really have some people who work for them who really hate their jobs, looking over their inventory they have several items marked with $999....

 

[New Frontiersman]

...you added it to your cart?!

That could lead to one life-changing misclick

I only added it to my cart so it was easier to get both the price and the name of the game into one image. But I can see your point, I don't think a new Pokemon game would be worth that much money.

Well with those prices i would seriously consider going to GameStop instead.

Either way provided the image is genuine then its probably a glitch.

Seriously?

... Oh shit, they do!

... Although I don't know I might pay $99,999.00 for Super Mario 64 DS but probably not Disney Fairies: Tinkerbell.

Eh, Disney Fairies: Tinkerbell is overrated. Disney Fairies: Fairy Godmother is much better, in my opinion.

On-topic: Pokemon Black (Or was it White?) didn't hold my attention like the previous Pokemon games did anyway. Maybe it's just because I'm tiring of the series but eh.

Meh, I could see paying that for G/C/S or R/Y/G/B, especialy Yellow, because its awesome, but Black? Nahhhh.

You must have quite the income.

I can understand that, after so many iterations the series formula is running a little thin. The main reason I was looking was to see if the price had dropped, if it was low enough I might have thought about maybe getting it used or something, just to check out.

Right now the price is still a little high for me so maybe I'll check back in a couple of years to see if the price has dropped at all.

Don't you know, that's actually Bill Gates account, he's a regular member of the Escapist.

I've seen this seller before when I was looking for a cheap copy of Soulsilver, they have a ton of other shit that's regular price and then a few of these $99,999.99 things.

They have all sorts of things from a set of kitchen knives to a fucking lemon juice squeezer thingy for $99,999.99. I wonder if they're just trying to trick people that have the automatic order function turned on into buying the over priced shit or what?

 

[Taxman1]

Pretty much how I feel about prebuilt computers, har har har. I think the seller is just trying to get lucky.
