Item condition: Occasion   :lol:   "Occasion"... wtf is that supposed to mean?

It means "used" in French (i.e., une voiture d'occasion - a used car), and I'm guessing it's a literal translation from other languages and possibly an obsolete usage in English. It's weird that US eBay even allowed it as an option/didn't localize it. Weirder still that the more-correct "Used" appears elsewhere in the listing.

Maybe his wife's making him sell things but he doesn't want to get rid of them: "Sorry, honey, it just didn't sell. I don't know why!"

Shall we place some offers to what we think this stuff is really worth :-)

I am getting the smell of a "Carousel" type fraud with some of these auction values.

on ebay Seller A - Sells to Buyer B etc (invoice 2nd hand goods, no tax)
off ebay Seller A - Sells actual value goods to Buyer B - New goods sent as Ebay sale.

No cash is transfer but receipt is generated which is used to avoid tax on goods which were sent with that value. e.g modern hardware etc.

Man, if people were willing to pay that much for a game in its box, I'd have pirated less games when I was a teenager.
 
i wonder what happened to my old copies of Space Hulk and Alien Breed 2....

I know a guy who really wanted the Shadow of the Beast T-shirt.  He made an offer which was nowhere near the asking price and got laughed at by the seller.
