Ha ha ha!!!
Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs

That's why his eBay login is "retro-storage" and not "retro-sales."

I 2nd that. I do still go for it but got no new hardware for Amiga in a good while now.

Great example of someone thinking ZOMFG RAREZORZ! And think because some are going for alot of money one assumes he will bunch up any random numbers and thinks he will sell it for 'that' price.

It's stupid but buyers are more to blame.

Seriously...£400 for Shadow of the Beast.....I think not. I have the same game box here, the only exception being we actually used the t-shirt, so it is a wee bit faded now. But there is no way on this earth I would pay that for a game.

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!"
