Quote from Sinbad sale de******ion on eBay pretty much sums it up.

"I've looked around on eBay and found one for $4,250
After talking to some people who know about this stuff, they said to put the $2,995".


 People see an asking price and think that's what their machine is worth. Sinbad is a cracker of a game, one of my favourites but in average condition like this one it's not worth anything close to this asking price and its the same machine that was listed for almost 3 times this price only a week ago. They do have a "make an offer option" so I guess at least they're willing to negotiate.

There lies the biggest problem with inflated prices. I wonder if the game would be cheaper if there was a project Sinbad (missing boards, flaked backglass and filthy) listed for $400 ?

We all know eBay is just "window shopping" used by dealers to hook in unsuspecting buyers, but listing like this are borderline fraudulent in my opinion.
