A real fan of this game? It's risky to buy anything there.

Risky in what sense? It's great for getting old games.

Yeah, correct. It's also a chance to be f-ed in your ass pretty good. :)

Never got scammed or owned in some way on ebay and received all of my purchases. The problem is that many people are trying to save and buying from unreliable sellers with low rating or small feedback not thinking about possible risks or simply not reading rules of an auction etc. Of course, you can get owned by even a "power seller" there, but in most cases it is safe to deal there.

Guitar Hero 3 for me. 70€ because of the plastic guitar. And I'm happy to have bought it (I just buy 1 game every 5 years so that wasn't a problem hehe).

The most expensive game I ever bought is probably Evil Dead: Hail to the King. It retailed for about 100 Dutch Guilders I think, roughly 60-70 USD. In a funny way, I never regretted buying it as I love the Evil Dead franchise. :)

In contrast, most games I buy are in the price range of $1-$15. Sheer contrast. ;)
