I was recently asked to link exchange with the following website: http://nibgames.com/
Look at their fucking prices! Unless they were willing to pay me incredibly generously, there's no way I would link to this fucking bullshit anywhere on the main site. Even then, it'd be a toss-up.

O.o Are those guys on fucking crack!? Even the worst of the worst E-bay prices are a steal compared to anything on that site.

$600 is only a little overpriced for a sealed, NIB Mario Bros. 3 for the NES. However, we had a working copy complete in box with everything including the Styrofoam and sold it for $20. To Syd in fact, but that was the price regardless. Fucking crazy people!

They wanted $129 for an unsealed, complete copy. No one is going to pay that!

Their used NES and any 5 deal is insane.
I could find all of those at a thrift store for about $40 altogether.

Nope, just a link exchange. And since my site does WAAAAAAY more traffic than them, that's a shitty deal for me.

I love that it's $200 for a system and ANY 5 games, except then most of the good games require that you tack on another $30-60 per game.

Wow. Right on their main page, where you assume all their good deals would be, Super Mario Bros. 3 for $39.99. One of the first results on EBay is a buy it now for $5.95. I've never seen such ridiculous prices listed seriously...yet I can't stop around at all the prices and games and that site. It's just like a car crash. I wanna look away, but I can't take my eyes off.

I have to be honest. I thought this thread was going to be about the food forum.
But $600 for a new LTTP?
You have to wonder if these people have ever heard of eBay.
Now that I think about maybe they buy from eBay and sell the stuff they buy

Not to mention that they are just using you because you probably get shit loads of hits on your top 100 lists. They would probably ask you to put a link on every page of those.
