Again the one game, available super cheap:

"Yeah, sorry honey. We won't be able to put the kids through college, or get a new car, or even be able to afford the mortgage payments and the power bill anymore. I just HAD to have this one Nintendo game."
-
The price is astronomical.
I wish that Nintendo remade the NES cartridges and price them very low then will see if those bastardos will sell the games with high prices.
From my point of view this is madness :D If a game is so rare put the price a liitle higher than the retail price. Something like this: the retail price was 100$ you put 110$ not 1000000xxxxxx$. From this point the price will be investigate by X-Files.
-
Even if it was re-released, the original pressing would still be a rarity and priced as such. This guy has been trying to sell for months (maybe even a year) and not yet managed it - but if there is someone out there who wants every US release in original packaging I'm sure it will sell eventually. You can pick up other regions of this game relatively cheaply. Both tik and arseen have different euro pressings of it.
-
To tell you the truth is not fair.
Maybe the guy bought the game for 100$ and he sell his copy for 10000000000$.
Look at the game chasers. One of the guy found Flintstones surprise at dinosaur peak with a very low price (don't remeber what price was) and then if he want to get rit of it he will sold the game for 300-400$.
But all of us knows that in bussiness life nothing is fair :P
P.S.: I don't like this conception: if something is old then sell it for a good price (low price) because is old, SH, and in the future can have problems etc.
-
Arseen have different euro pressings of it.
Yep, and I also have relatively good scan of US manual so if I wanted I could create genuine looking manual, and I know person who works at add agency and could make exact copy of the box including the golden seal.
-
Arseen if you have the copy of the US version then is ZA END OF ZA WORLD :D

That's the same one that posted this auction. I noticed some changes in the auction description. This moron is dreaming.

Hmm, you buy the Canada site one and I buy the UK one, then we both demand that we get the game, and sue him if does not delivere to both of us. ::)
The risk is of course that he happens top have 2 copies.
-
Arseen, what do you think about Stadium Events; can somebody duplicate the game (box, manual, cartridge, label) then sell it as retail?
What a bastardos is the guy. He used the events that occurred in Japan to sell his copy. May his soul to burn in the Hell.
P.S: I hate those people that used the suffering of others to raise his money.
P.S.2: By the way Arseen, what salary you have?
-
Arseen, what do you think about Stadium Events; can somebody duplicate the game (box, manual, cartridge, label) then sell it as retail?
Yes. Golden seal is the hardest to replicate, other parts are easy peasy.
P.S.2: By the way Arseen, what salary you have?
It varies on the shifts, am I doing the driving shift or am I in indoor shift (driving shift pays extra by KM) morning/evening/ double shifts (doubles pay 1.5 times pay), extra shifts and how many emrgency call I get (each pay 50 Euros + normal pay, 100 if bank holiday), or weekends (sundays double pay)
Normal is about 2700 euros month, but if all stacks up it's way more. Record was 5600.

Doubtful, The number on the VGA box matches in both auctions. He just waiting to separate some poor sap and their cash. This time without the poultry 10% going to the Japan relief effort.

Actually I allready sold mine cause I didn't need a sports game in my collection.
-
i'm guessing you didn't get half a million for it! lol
-
The guy paid around 24000 for the game and then spent 70 dollars to get it graded. He had it at open auction and It went to 24201 then he resisted probably shill bid so he doesn't lose much the guy is crazy. I'll stick to my $30 reproduction cart.

...you spent 30 bucks to get a reproduction cart of a game that's literally identical to World Class Track Meet, a game that's obtainable for $2?
Statdium Events is a collector's oddity. Getting a reproduction of that is akin to getting a reproduction of a misprint version of Final Fantasy VII. What's the point?
-
i just wanted one so i could say i have a repro of it i also have the panesian titles as well

We, the serious collectors, are wierd folk. ;)
I have Scandic version of the mentioned game with yellow manual (English, Finnish, Swedish and Danish)
I want US manual and the blue European manual (If anyone knows the languages of it, please tell me) for the game as well, and other versions too if there exsists more.

If you add shipping and import taxes this seems to be not as good anymore considering it has no box and nothing.
-
I'm gonna take the 50 dollar shipping I'm in no hurry for it. It's only gonna cost 220 so a very nice price I think anyway considering every other one I've looked at has gone for 280+ plus 109 shipping
-
The problem in europe is there always also comes 20% import tax on top when getting something from overseas. Except if you are lucky or very clever. ;)
-
Whenever I buy. Something off eBay I always ask for the item to be marked at 20 value or marked as a gift I havent paid any import fees or the past two years and have only have 2 problems out of the 500+ transactions I've done

I"ve got a crapload of stuff that I'm trying to get rid of.

Yep, and to get the rare games cheap on carts there is the repro way.
And manuals are also available (I have actual Scandic yellow manual and quite good PDF of US manual for Stadium Events).
BTW: I have PDf manuals of varying quality for many games on many consoles, so if needed just ask and I'll see if I have it.

I would love to have the original X2 and X3, but with how much people are trying to get for complete examples I'll stick with the Mega Man X Collection.
-
I picked up my copies of X 2&3 a good few years ago when I started collecting again. So glad I did!
-
I actually got my pal copy of X3 on a flea market for next to nothing years ago. Still missing X2 though. :'(
-
I picked up the pc version as a kid, and only rented the snes version. I would pick it up if I saw it for a affordable price.
-
I got X new and X2 used (no manual) in the pre-N64 days. Never got X3, but I still need to find a manual for X2 as it's the only SNES game I own without one. If only my NES collection wasn't sucking up my budget money (and sometimes a bit beyond that ;D ) every month.
-
I have MMX 1-3, and should have manuals for them too.
I'll scan the MMX 2 one today, if I find it from the storage.

-
Man, I can't imagine trying to sell PAL and NTSC JP games as "new", considering they were never shrink wrapped in the 1st place. How the hell are you supposed to know whether it's new or not? Also, £30K?!?!?! That's just insane. The £2.50 shipping seems like a totally awesome method to ship a 30K item too. Fail. I'd want a courier to hand deliver that thing to me.
-
i won on ebay 3 months ago megaman x for pc got it for $2.
-
I don't think the PC version of Mega Man X is really worth much.
-
Anyone else notice that there are alot of fake pokemon games on ebay.

I use to have them all ended up just giving them all away half the games aren't even Pokemon there very bad 8 bit games

thanks most helpful :), do you have any more pics like that for other pokemon games, and are there bootlegs of Black and White floating around on there as well?
-
Check Amazon. There's some great guides over there specifically for finding bootlegs and whatnot. That's where I found the pic I posted ;)

And the fact that he's selling tons of them..
-
A half blind person would be able to differ those gba games from the real ones. ;D
That is the pity with US gba games. There are soooooo many boots around it's as bad as with some US Neo Geo games. ::)
Which on the other hand is good for me as a EU guy. PAL GBA games were almost never bootleged so it's pretty safe to buy around here.
-
Yeah, it is, but you'd have to know what the US version looks like in the 1st place in order to distinguish between the two. I wouldn't have known unless I looked it up, since I don't know squat about Pokemon games.
-
I also found some youtube vids of people getting fakes, and they go over what to look out for.
I was never real big on pokemon ether. I only played red and then gold so that my brother would have some one to trade with. But lately with all the talk about black and white, its been getting me in the mood to play one these games again.
-
Why can't knock off makers put a label on straight? It's one of the biggest tells from afar and it seems like the easiest thing to get right while making a fake.
-
Because, when making knockoffs to sell at 1/4 the price of an actual, legit copy, one must cut corners. I'm sure the mantra in the bootleg GBA factory is "make as many as possible, as quickly as possible".
-
Instead of making bootleg pokemon games they should make something like a translated Mother 3 cart.

I bought 3 scanners off of ebay none of them working on arrival. Is it me or what!!!! Has anyone else had ebay scanner problems?
-
Scanners have a lot of delicate moving parts. Not really surprised they would stop working after being bashed around in the postal system.
What happens when you try to use them? Do you hear the motors try to work, or are they silent?
-
One of them was a brick and did nothing. Second the light did not come on, and the third just makes a clicking noise.

Even if i did 'collect' at this level - not sure i'd be happy that the eproms were now exposed - even with the so called UV protection. UTTER MADNESS!
-
And , read the comments he opened it and played it a couple of months ago. So is it no longer in the case?
I would steer clear even if I was looking for one of these and was considering dishing out that kinda money.
also I found a system on there that I am not sure what it is
see link

Does this play master system games?

That cart looks to be Famicom.

I've got a few things on eBay at the moment, but I figured you all would want to know about this.
I'm selling a bunch of covers and manuals. Its for various systems so if you would be interested, have yourself a look!

Most of the manuals that I am missing, are for nes, and a few snes games. I am also missing cover art and manual for a psp game Popolocrois. Other than that, I am covered :)

I've been hooked on buying portables lately for some reason.
Wonderswan Crystal with One Piece Coliseum CIB - 37.00
NGPC mini - 26.00
Wonderswan B&W - 5.26
Pocketstation - 9.01
GBA phat - 7.00
DSi XL (broken, but seems an easy fix) - 20.01
and I'm watch at least another half dozen systems.
-
I recently picked up another 360 on Ebay due to some games I would like to play like some of the exclusive cRPGs and some of the Danmaku games. $90 with no controllers but 2 games; C&C3, and Lost Planet.
Jeeze, another system bought without controllers, I'm on a roll.

When I used to work at a Game Crazy one of my employees once traded in a copy of "Pokemon Emerald 2" for GBA. If you put it in and played it, it worked for about 5 minutes and was a sidescroller, not an RPG.
(Solid first post if I do say so myself.)

I've been doing something similar - I recently picked up:
NES - $20, plus 2 controllers, 2 gray zappers, and SMB/Duck Hunt
Sega CDX - $125, plus 17 Sega CD games including the Not For Resale Sonic CD, Ecco and Sega Classics 5-in-1 (kind of a steal, the seller though it was busted, but he/she had just plugged in the composite jacks wrong, works great)
Sega CDX bag - $30, I'm actually using it a lot :P
Game Gear - $25, plus a few games, occasionally has powering on issues, but great otherwise
I'm currently watching or trying to track down:
GB Pocket (blue)
GBA SP AGS-101 (graphite)
GB Micro (silver, black faceplate)
Neo Geo Pocket Color (stone blue, black or silver)
DS phat (my original was borrowed and lost...)
DSi XL (blue or black)
I hadn't even heard of the Pocketstation until your post. :P
-
Nice!
It doesn't sound like we're watching any of the same auctions, which is good ;)
I wanted a Pocketstation for so long. I've kicked myself for years because I didn't just buy one when they were available at retail. But, it seems the prices for them have sorta bottomed out, so I grabbed one :)
As I understand it, there are a few US games that still have support for the device built in, including Final Fantasy VIII :o
I'm going to attempt to make a SwanCryatal LIGHT with the 2nd one. It's the same color as my other one, so it's not nearly as exciting to get it as I am some of the other stuff, I just couldn't pass up the price. They usuall go for 60-70 loose with no games.

On the topic of eBay, I have some PlayStation 3 games up for auction. Please check it out if interested.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-16-used-PlayStation-3-PS3-Video-Games-/261040414850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc738a082
I also recently purchased a fake game on eBay. I am usually careful about paying attention to certain giveaways but this one was different. The game was Tetris DS. The picture was not what I received. The cover was completely different, the game case was poorly pieced together, and the cart was not authentic Nintendo. When I put the game in, the DS reads the game as a Star Wars game from Ubisoft. I think that is a problem with Tetris DS, there are a lot of fakes out there of it.
-
Havent been messing around with ebay as much as I used to, mainly due to I am nearing completion on most systems (at least the games I want for them) that and I am about sick of shipping costs.
I usually use VGpricecharting to keep an idea of retail value and usually set my goal at 60% or less. Many many times have I found someone who apparently didnt know what they had and got things cheap just by checking often. Also, I love the "make offer" feature, surprising how little some people will take for things. For example, someone had Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for SNES buy it now 110$, I made offer of 40$ and they bit lol.
Down to SNES remakes and a handful of PS1 games to get , as they are the only system I try and get complete when I can, tends to be expensive.

When I put the game in, the DS reads the game as a Star Wars game from Ubisoft. I think that is a problem with Tetris DS, there are a lot of fakes out there of it.
You gonna file a claim for that game? I sure as hell would.
Havent been messing around with ebay as much as I used to, mainly due to I am nearing completion on most systems (at least the games I want for them) that and I am about sick of shipping costs.
I usually use VGpricecharting to keep an idea of retail value and usually set my goal at 60% or less. Many many times have I found someone who apparently didnt know what they had and got things cheap just by checking often. Also, I love the "make offer" feature, surprising how little some people will take for things. For example, someone had Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for SNES buy it now 110$, I made offer of 40$ and they bit lol.
Down to SNES remakes and a handful of PS1 games to get , as they are the only system I try and get complete when I can, tends to be expensive.
Buy in lots, that's the best way IMO. Anything that you don't want/already have, just turn around and sell it. Sometimes you even end up paying for the entire lot by selling just a few games from it. Free games! ;D
-
I usually do buy in lots, again shipping is a pain. Lately I find the best lots on craigslist where someone will be selling 10-20 games with 90% crappy but with 1 or 2 gems that makes up for the money spent.
two. Ended up with contra III (which i sold w/ extras for 35$ to make some money out of it too) and kept robotrek and paladins quest. Rest were all common 1$ titles like metal combat and turn and burn lol.

On the topic of eBay, I have some PlayStation 3 games up for auction. Please check it out if interested.

I'm winning! :D
-
Ohhh man... I think I just got pretty lucky! I've been looking for the black Hori Gamecube Digital Controller (the one that looks like an SNES controller) for a while, but most of the time they end up going for $75 to over $100. I was bidding recently and was outbid, and the auction ended up going for well over $100. I turned around and searched today, and tried a new search for Hori Game Boy Player, and found a new-in-box controller from the North American release for only $35 Buy-it-Now! Sweet!

I'm cleaning house and clearing out all of my duplicate Master System and 32X games from when I was building those collections. I still have some Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast games that didn't sell from when I purged those a couple of years ago, in addition to some still sealed titles that I replaced with used copies in order to scan their manuals for my ratigators.com (http://ratigators.com) project.
All items start at $0.01 (I'm a huge fan of letting people decide what something is worth, even if it's next to nothing), with each additional game shipping for $1:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tsolfan/m.html (http://www.ebay.com/sch/tsolfan/m.html)
I'm recycling the funds towards picking up the last few 32X and Master System games I need to get a full set of manuals scanned in.
My brother also dropped off some PSP and DS items (along with some other random electronics) that I posted as well. He upgraded to a Vita and has no need for the PSP, and the DS, according to him, he never uses anymore.
And for something completely random, my wife is having me list bottles and cloth diapers tonight since two kids is our theoretical limit and there's no need to hang on to the them (the bottles and diapers, not the kids :))
Thanks for any and all interest!

Also, for those that have been around since late 2010, you'll notice that my infamous Saturn Bomberman with missing back insert is up for sale :D
-
Could you maybe open those auctions up for international shipping? :)
I would definitely be interested in some stuff but can't see most of it.
-
Strange, I didn't do anything to lock it out. I just used the crazy slow new eBay default selling interface that doesn't even ask.
I've had a few questions on international shipping, and I handle those on a case by case basis, based on eBay user feedback, number of ratings, and destination country (it seems almost everything shipped to Italy from the US gets lost). Since I "know" you from here, I don't think there will be any problems.
Is there no way just to view all items by the same seller? There should be 188 items currently (will be more tonight once I list the stuff my wife wants me to post). I loath thinking I have to open up every one of those to edit, as I already did my brother's PSP & DS auctions, as I realized I didn't mention that any of them came with manuals (they all do, all mint condition, and along with any extra inserts they might have come with originally).
-
I'm European and clicking your link shows me all your 188 items.
Didn't try to bid yet.
BTW: You can circumvent some lockouts by using your Ebay account to log-in to other Ebay site.
I use my account (same account, no need to reregister) on US, UK, Australian, Italian, German and French Ebays.

I'll afford you the option. Assuming 25MPG and $3.50 a gallon for gas, you are looking at spending $35 round trip on gas. If I was you, as long as the shipping is less or at least close to that, I'd make me do the work packaging everything up and shipping it, unless you really want to spend 4 hour(s) on the road :)

-
Any idea what shipping to Ontario, Canada would run me? Im seeing a few things Im interested in here.
I will ship internationally on three conditions :)
1) Your eBay feedback isn't questionable.
2) You are willing to pay the shipping costs. I charge what it actually costs to ship, plus a few bucks for packaging materials to ensure things arrive safely to the best of my ability, I don't pad shipping prices just to make more money. I'm a fan of using the USPS flat rate boxes, and you can get a idea of the shipping cost based upon the size of the box (and how much you think you might bid on):
http://ircalc.usps.com/?country=10054
If you wanted to win 10 things, but only won 2, I'd expect you to still follow through with the transaction.
3) You agree to the fact that there are no returns or refunds. Domestically, I can pay for insurance and tracking (and I almost always do). Internationally, I don't have the same options. So, I'll do everything I can to ensure things arrive safely, though, I can't be responsible if it arrives damaged or not at all. I haven't done a ton of shipping internationally, though, thus far, I've never had a package arrive damaged or not at all (though, have had things held at the buyer's local post office for them to pickup without them realizing or held up for weeks in customs).
If all 3 of those conditions are fine by you, I hope you win what you are wanting.
Thanks for any and all interest!

No matter from which page I look at your items I just see 28 listed.
Ebay is just crap.

Here is a listing for the NGC Gameboy adapter, however it is missing the boot cd.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-GameCube-Game-Boy-Advance-Adapter-Player-DOL-017-/300731885729?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item46050468a1
My question is does not having the Boot cd make this a paper weight or is there a way to use this with out the Boot cd.

My question is does not having the Boot cd make this a paper weight or is there a way to use this with out the Boot cd.
AFAIK you need the boot-CD. I'm not aware of any way to copy these, but it may be possible. The CD is really the coveted part now.
-
It looks like there are alot of these on ebay with out the disc. I will have to be very careful bidding.
-
Yeah, like these guys said, it's a useless lump of plastic without the disc. There are ISO files out there, but you need a modded system or boot disc to make a burned disc work (obviously).
-
Just borrow someone's boot disc and never turn off the GC... you can even swap carts in it without turning it off! :P
-
I dont know anyone that has one of these, plus that would be very annoying every time I needed to use this bugging someone for their disc.
-
Boot discs are very easy to find, but they cost more alone than with the unit. It'll run you around $20, but sometimes more if prices are trending up. I bought my NGC Gameboy Player with the boot disc for $30 total shipped to my door off of eBay, if you're patient you can find both together for some pretty low prices. Alternatively, if you can find the unit for very cheap (around $10-$15 bucks with shipping included), you can always buy the disc later. Those stay pretty steady at $20.
-
You can easily get a complete GBP for ~$20 shipped if you're patient.

I couldn't score that low and gave in early. Oracle of Ages was calling to me - it needed the big screen treatment. ;D
-
Sometimes it just can't wait ;)
What did you end up spending? 30-35?
-
did you even bother seeing if a GS near you had any? $10 used...$9 with card. closest to me is 40 miles north. pretty sure PnT wouldn't charge much (if any) more than GS if you have one of them around
-
Yeah, if they actually have one in stock.
-
Sometimes it just can't wait ;)
What did you end up spending? 30-35?
$30 on the nose. Prices at the time were more around $40 or even $45 so I feel like I got out alright. And Gameboy titles on a big projector screen amounts to something like a religious experience. ;D
-
30 bucks is definitely nothing to be sad about :)
So, I realized that I never mintioned my score in this thread. I bought 3 store return red 3DS systems knowing that they're all still under warranty (the red one came out last september and they have a 1 year warranty). 200 bucks, all like new in their boxes. I got the first one back last night. Been messing around with it a bunch today. Definitely a fun toy, and it was a steal for about 65 bucks ;D
-
i bought today a ps3 60gb in working condition with power cable, tv cable and controller cable just missing controller for $150 plus $6 shipping.
-
but your going to be looking at about $200 for the PS3 all together now... You might as well have just gotten a new one for a few bucks more with a warranty and much larger hard drive.
I suppose if you are that serious about the backwards compatibility then its not bad.
My 80gb (Now 250) gathers dust....never use it for anything.
-
I wish I had a fully B/C PS3. Having to drag out the PS2 is a chore. But, by the time I bought a PS3 (the first time), that wasn't an option, and with how poorly the current crop of consoles hold up, I didn't wanna risk buying a used 1st gen system. Too many are YLODing as far as I can tell.
-
i bought 2 wireless controllers right now for $15 new for ps3.

This is the guy that I was talking about with the 15K Panasonic Q. He keeps listing this oddball auction and the price goes UP every time the auction gets relisted.

Raw scans of the Pokemon games at 600dpi would be nice. I know Gold is going to be a challenge since it's shiny but it would be great to have new RAWs of the boxes ;)

Damn....your getting RID of the retail boxes???
I trashed most of them a long time ago, and now I just want my games to look uniform on the shelf.
So my opinions would be sell the boxes or try and track down boxes for my games missing boxes.
and that could take a life time. Also I like how the UGC covers look on my shelf.

if you were just gonna trash em id be glad to take em off your hands but you said you want to put them on eBay. I'll keep my eyes open and hope my wife dont see if I place bids on things .

Bought replacement GB Micro battery 1.5 months ago on eBay. Shows up, pigtail clip totally doesn't fit. I try to modifiy it with an Xacto in order to get it to fit and the wires fell off. I re-solder, get the connector modded, plug it in and the damned thing goes from cool as a cucumber to WTF?! hot in about 5 seconds.
Contact seller, he implies that I bought the wrong thing. I tell him, "NO, it says replacement for OXY-003, which is exactly what I need." He offers a replacement, which will surely be the same piece of shit that I already have. 3 weeks later it hasn't arrived.
Left negative feedback and filed claim. The guy tells me he'll refund me if I remove the feedback. Um, no. That's called extortion.
-
How much would he refund? The battery can't be more than 5$.
Edit: After a look-up it seems they go for 20$ or so. How much are you out?
-
Just 12 bucks with shipping. I'm not worried about the money, but I don't want this guy thinking that he can use extortion to get what he wants.
I went with a far nicer non-OEM replacement after this experience. It was about 25 bucks with shipping, but I'd rather have a working battery than a time bomb in my micro. I wish Nintendo still supported the damned thing >:(
-
The seller now wants me to ship the item back for a refund. Right, that's worth my time. I escalated the case at 9 am today and eBay found in my favor about 15 minutes ago (11:45). That was painless and now I have an extra 12 bucks to spend on SFC games and more GBA systems that I don't really need :P
-
In my ebay time i have ran into several ebay jerks, once I won an auction for a complete set of Deep Space Nine. And when it arrived, it was a cheap hong kong knock off, so I contact the lady and she tells me that it isnt a bootleg, and these are authentic dvds. Note the box isnt even in the same ballpark. So I send the set back at my expense, With a tracking number. However she still refused to refund my money, so I had to have my bank come in and they refunded my money.
-
I got a few of the boxes listed
here is a link to my seller page

Can you scan Zelda Ages before you sell it?

No problem I can do it when i get home.

Damn, eBay/PayPal wouldn't help you out with that one? That's crummy.
I just grabbed a bunch of stuff from one of my favorite eBay sellers, yamatoku-classic. In fact, I would continually buy stuff from him all year 'round and just have him send me a package semi-annually if I could. I find myself ALWAYS watching at least a few of his auctions. Anyway, got this swag...
Mobile Suit Gundam V.1 CIB for the Wonderswan $1.36
Chocobo Dungeon CIB for the Wonderswan $3.25
Hunter X Hunter CIB for the Wonderswan $4.07
Super Robot Wars 3 CIB for the SFC $5.06
Super Robot Wars 4 CIB for the SFC $4.24
OEM rechargeable battery pack and charger for the non-SP GBA (AGB-004, AGB-004) CIB $4.00
Will post pics when it all arrives.

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with a NES Top-Loader in which the description says the system was working for about a week when it stopped loading games and now only displays a pink or gray screen. Also says the system had an AV Mod which was removed.
I don't know much about NES systems just yet, but do know that top-loaders can get kinda pricy and I saw this one so I was wondering if it might be something easy to fix.
-
Worked with mod, then stopped working after the mod was removed?
-
Doesn't say. The ad reads (copied from the listing)...
"Up for sale is an NES top loader system I received second hand a month or two ago. It worked for about a week then it stopped loading games. Displays only a grey or pink screen. System had an AV MOD but was removed The case of the system has some yellowing. I tried cleaning it to the best of my ability. Maybe someone with the know-how can fix it or use it for parts to fix another."
-
Probably the pins are dirty
-
Probably the pins are dirty
I was hoping that might be the problem as that's a fairly easy fix if I understand correctly. Just don't know about NES much (just getting into it) so I don't know what the signs of bad pins are. Me thinks I shall bid on it if it stays cheap enough.
-
Or a hastily removed mod left it with some weak points that failed. Still, may be an easy fix.
-
Look at the offer history.

Also, I find myself really wanting a Sponge Bob GBA SP lately for some reason. They make me LOL every time I see one ;D

They are kinda expensive, going for 50$ normally. There is one on Amazon for 35$ with "LOTS OF SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES FROM USE"
From a look at a box they are a Toys R Us exclusive and are the "brighter screen" models.

Dude, have you read the title and description? It's BROKEN. Who on Earth is gonna pay 45 bucks for a broken SP 101? Nobody, which is why it's been up for sale since 2009.
The 101 was NOT a TRU exclusive. Everyone carried them, especially this blah baby blue color.
I can get broken 101s for like 20 shipped all the time on eBay and 001s for like 10-15.
-
I was talking about the Spongebob one you wanted. ASIN: B000MFIPGE on Amazon.
-
Ohhhhhhhhh, gotcha. Yeah, they are pricey, like most special GBA SPs :(
The worst part is trying to find one that isn't beat to shit. I imagine 99% were owned by people younger than 12, which doesn't really help.
Also, got your pms. I'll get back to ya as soon as I can. Been busy as hell this week :-[

NO WAY! I have a Game Boy Printer loaded with a roll of paper, and an extra roll on back-up! I had no idea I was sitting on such value!?!? ;)
But in all seriousness, Im thinking this was just a listing error and was inteded to be $24.99.

one of the reasons those SNES games are actually selling for that is that they have a good number of rarer ones and also manuals and boxes for a few of them too.....I would love original cases for my shit

Yeah, it's obvious that the rare titles are driving the price up, but my point is that these bidders don't seem to be doing the math. They're paying WAY too much for those valuable titles especially considering that they're in a lot auction. You NEVER pay full retail for items in a lot. That's just silly.
The guy can't even read his own description. "Over 70 games", when the count goes up to 59 and there are only 2 sets of doubles, so 61 total. Fail.

$224 total for the commons and that's non-lot pricing.
That leaves $1367.99 left from the current bid of $1,591.99
Divide that up and you get just about 60 bucks per game. Some of the valuable carts are worth that or more, but most are not. Somebody is paying way too much IMO.
-
The guy can't even read his own description. "Over 70 games", when the count goes up to 59 and there are only 2 sets of doubles, so 61 total. Fail.
Whoa now, Wiggy, you are forgetting the eight boxed games! That would make it over 70 games, albeit only 67 unique ones. So clearly, clearly this is an honest Joe here, and not someone out to cash in on the stupid "all video games are worth something" trend that seems to be plaguing our culture as of late. CLEARLY.
It's just as bad when people pay their ridiculous prices. You are part of the problem, people!
Perhaps I am just in a bad mood because some reseller so very narrowly beat me to about 30 SNES games this morning at a garage sale. Bloody parasites.
-
That's really a big part of what urks me too. I hate that the prices of this stuff keep going up and I'm currently a buyer, not a seller.
-
Not necessarily ebay, but I believe this craigslist posting illustrates how everyone seems to think that every video game is worth far more than it really is.
FYI, this item was reduced from $250.

Those things really jumped up in price over the past few months? I seriously thought the GBA Players for the GC were only like 10-15 bucks
-
25-30 bucks is more the norm based on the completed listings that I've seen. The GC seems to be picking up speed in the collector market.
-
Luckily I bought mine when it was cheep and sold in Gamestop. I think it was 10$. I'm missing the manual and disc case though. :(
-
I got a Gc, and the GB player (with disc) from the flea market and a yard sale for less than $10 total last year. GC was missing power cord....I had a spare anyhow. Came with a 007 game and 2 memory cards too.
On a side note...I did grab that other GB Player that was being talked about...the one with FFVI and Castlevania Double Pack. I already have more than enough Gamecubes and GB players 2 of my 3 are on "perma loan" with my best friend and the other with my brother. and all 3 of my Nintendo DS Lites are with them and my dad.
I couldnt NOT buy that GB player and 2 games. I noticed Castlevania almost goes for the 30 he was asking for all of it.

Hey,he even got one of my covers, but modified it a bit by adding that bottom red bar. I can tell its mine because to get the logo on the top I had to extend the rainbow and add stars to the top, and the placement of my stars match his.

He's stolen a little from everyone here. None of my covers, but definitely scans that I've spent plenty of time cleaning up.
Also, he has the balls to post up 3 or 4 covers on this site and act like he's some big contributor as if that would somehow excuse what he does.
Making money on everyone else's hard work. Asshole.

Lol @ jshackles comment.
Interestingly enough, game-case-world is actually how I found this site in the first place. I never bought anything from him, but finding his ebay store, then his site, and then the mention to this site renewed my interest in collecting retro games. More specifically, it has inspired me to print a lot of covers myself, as well as redesign many of them to personal preference. So for that, I thank him. But seeing him cash in on these cases is crazy. It does make me want to try to undercut him, but I'm not sure I have the time.
Edit: In fact, the first covers I printed were the Shenske FF covers to house my entire PS/PS2 Final Fantasy series (of which I had to get a few titles so it would look all nice).

Rechargeable battery pack ;D
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with my GBA SP front light modded GBA. It only puts out 2.4v, so the LED is super dim to the point of being pretty much useless. Luckily I've two other GBAs that'll gladly take it :)

Check out seller "alanodee". Selling lots of really nice, expensive, rare consoles but can't be bothered to test them. I asked about the NR Reader that he's selling and he "reassured" me that the guy he bought it from assured him that it works. I'm like "are you fucking kidding?!" Seriously, how can you expect to sell stuff like that without even testing the stuff?
That's a crappy eBay seller if I've ever seen one.

Agreed, most of those games are not going to be worth anywhere near the $9.48 it's gonna cost you for one. You've got about 5 good pulls out of 67 games. This guy is making bank though.

I sorta wanna do the math and see how much that helped him out, but that's too much work. Plus, I would hate to sell all that crap sperately. I can't stand selling stuff online for less than 10 bucks. Just not worth all the work involved IMO.

hi guys a few weeks ago i bought a ps3 on ebay and well it didn't work it won't read discs so i send a message to the seller and he replies me that it wasnt his fault that i still had to give him the positive feedback because he wanted his money that he send a working ps3 he claims that ups must of damaged it on the shipping well even before he send the ps3 he asked me to give him the feedback because he wanted his money back and i tell him that i wouldn't do it so a few days later he send the item to me and it didn;t work well i opened a case with ebay their decision was on my favor now ebay wants me to send the item back to the seller the even gave me a paid label to send the item back and they messaged the seller the resolution. now the seller sends me a message that he won't take the item back because it wasn't his fault that he won't refund my money and that i have to give him the feedback and now i don't know what to do i'm new into all of this.also the seller told me that he was gonna call ups so they pay for the damage to the system well a few days ago ups calls me and they want to come and take the item so they can check it but i ask them that if they find that the system got damaged what was gonna happen to the system and they told me that they will then send it back to the seller with the resolution and the money for the damage and the seller wants me to do that i dont trust that . can someone give me an advice on what to do. i want to know what will happen if i send the item and the seller doesn't want to refund my money? please i need your help on this problem im confused i need an advice guys. thank you

rola86:
I'm actually going through the same thing myself right now (well, minus the UPS oddness - that sounds fishy to me) with an NES and games I bought. It was advertised as being in great condition and working almost everytime. When I got the system, it didn't work at all and one of the games had a strong odor of cat urine to it. I tried working things out with the seller and they basically ignored me, so I opened a case with eBay. Like you, they send a prepaid return label to send the item back and get a refund.
I've been through similar situations on eBay before, though rarely (most sellers seems happy to work things out). If I understand correctly, the seller asked for feedback before he even send the system? If so, that's a major red flag to me and probably means he knew it didn't work from the get go. The best and safest thing to do is to follow eBay's instructions and steps through the case. Despite their frequent and somewhat wonky site "improvements" and infurriating seller fees (charging sellers a fee on the shipping rate... really?), eBay and paypal (which eBay owns as well), is actually quite reliable when it comes to buyer protection in these such cases. I would strongly suggest simply doing what eBay says to do. Send the item back usig the shipping label they provided (I would suggest using the boxes and packing material the item was sent to you in, if it wasn't packed well when you got it, make sure to let eBay know that before returning it). It won't cost you anything and eBay will post the tracking number in the resolution center so you can follow it's progress. Witihin a few business days of the item's arrival back to the seller you should get a refund issued from eBay for the full amount you initially paid. Once that happens you're done and can leave whatever type of feedback you wish for the seller. If negative feedback is warranted, then by all means leave negative feedback.
If the seller wants to file a claim with UPS about damage, that's their choice once they have the item back, but in no way is it your responsibility to do anything with that. Just follow the instructions from eBay and you'll be protected and should get a full refund. If the seller continues to write you telling you to do this and that, simply tell them they had their chance to resolve the issues and failed, thus a case was opened and a ruling was made in your favor. If they have a problem with that, they need to talk with eBay about it, not you. Bottom line is that for whatever reason the PS3 your purchased wasn't as advertised to be and the seller basically refused to do anything about it. eBay ruled in your favor once a case was opened and you will get your money back so long as you follow the steps eBay asks you to follow.
-
Yes it doesn't mean anything if seller doesn't want to refund.
Ebay/PayPal refunds you and then takes the money from the seller, or at least try.
If seller gives you revenge negative feedback simply contact ebay and they will wipe it away.

This. Tell that a-hole to suck it and leave him a big, fat negative feedback.
Arseen, sellers can no longer leave negative feedback, because eBay feels that it's "unfair". Stupid eBay...

That would explain why I didn't recieve negative feedback (would have been revenge) from one seller.
I won auction but he never sent me answer to my e-mails requesting shipping price.
Finally after I had left him Negative he answered thart he doesn't sell outside US.
If he had answered that to my e-mail I would have just canceled the buy and left positive feedback.
His auction said us shipping (but not ONLY US shipping) and didn't block me from bidding.

Like Quazimoto said, if he was asking for feedback before you got the item, 99% sure he knew it wasn't working. There's no reason he needed that 1 golden feedback IMMEDIATELY. Buyers beware...your feedback IS YOUR POWER. Once you leave positive feedback, Ebay assumes that you are happy and you can no longer request a refund and stuff like that (perhaps you could, but not through the normal methods).
My own story...
I ordered Dead Space for the 360 for $12 shipped. It was listed as "good" condition with the only issue said being it had sticker residue on the case (easy for me to wipe off). It got here and arrived with no manual, and the cover itself was torn and wrinkled in many places, and looked like it had crayon residue on the back. I emailed the seller asking for a partial refund, or a full return. She emailed me back apologizing for the issues that I complained about, and simply issued me a full refund. The item lists no return address (cause no returns were accepted), and neither did the package. Thanks?
-
Well that's pretty awesome!
My recent story:
Bought a lot of 50 cheap DS lite styluses (styli?) a couple of weeks ago. They show up and there are two slightly different designs, about half were one style, the the rest the other. Well, half don't fit in the DS at all. Just too fat.
I let the guy know, not really too worried about what he would do since they were like 5 bucks plus shipping. He offers a 1.50 refund. I asked him for 2.50 since half of them are pretty much garbage. He responds saying that "he's never had any problems before. You got a really good deal. I can't do 2.50, but I can do 2.00 unless you want to send them all back." LOL @ actually bickering over 50 cents! It's absolutely not about the money, more just that this guy is a tool and thinks that I care about whether or not he's had problems before or how he feels that I got such a "good" deal.
They were .16 a pop when there were 50, but when it became only 22 good parts, it ended up at .38 a pop if you include shipping. Not nearly as good a deal all of a sudden.
Like I said though, I don't really care if I get anything back (seems like no at this point), but just that this guy has absolutely terrible service and he's gonna end up with a negative feedback mostly because he seriously tried to negotiate a partial refund by a margin of 50 cents.

Update on my earlier story: Got my refund today for the not as described NES. The initial message said it might take up to three days to have a refund issued once the package arrived. Actually took less than three hours for said refund to show up in my paypal account. I'm really pleased with eBay's process with this issue.

Too bad no one here probably got this gem. It's a promo box for the unreleased copy of Half Life for Dreamcast. I would have loved to have a high resolution scan of this cover:

Does any one else have problems with items never arriving and sellers claiming that they got lost in shipping.
It always happens to me when I get a really good deal. I think the seller sometimes does not want to let it go for the price.

The guy had all that stuff on eBay for auction and nobody bid on it. I asked him about and I got it with FREE shipping. He maybe nuts, but I'm definitely happy! ;D
Wow! That's pimptacular! Good job ;)
Does any one else have problems with items never arriving and sellers claiming that they got lost in shipping.

Do they refund the money without question? If so, then yeah, they're totally dicking you out of the transaction for one reason or another.
-
Yeah they usually do, In fact they are usually the one to that let me know there was a problem.
-
You know, I'm glad I still have a CRT because lightgun games are fun :D Yea finally I can play Duck Hunt with my new orange Zapper, which actually works almost flawlessly, even on my flattube CRT. I got it to work about 6ft feet back but it sure is a challenge at that distance, at 4ft pretty much 100% accuracy so I'm not complaining.
Other goodies, uh Dreamcast Browser 2.0....yea it was only a dollar so I thought why not. And of course Super Smash Brothers for the N64, haven't played that game in 10+ years. Sucks the label has some kind of goop on it, but guess I could just print a new one, and besides it's a Players Choice so I kind of want to, but for $20, wasn't too bad, considering the jacked up rates SSBs is fetching now days.

He has a lot of bootlegs. Funny on how some of them, they removed the Genesis logo on the side. MICKEY MANIA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICKEY-MANIA-DISNEY-SEGA-GAME-COMPLETE-BOX-SEGA-MEGA-DRIVE-SEGA-GENESIS-/170894087114?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ca14d3ca) has the wrong art.
-
It's funny, because every single listing for a Genesis game says:
Found in an old warehouse - working or not we do not know - no console to test.
What you see is what you get...
-
Sad thing is, who would go through this much trouble to bootleg mickey lol

And how do all these people have such high feedback? I guess people just don't know...

Or aren't upset by it at all. Plenty of people collect bootlegs/pirates ;)

hmmm - nice megaman 'collectors' cases. they look......familiar.........lol.
but - lets not turn this into ANOTHER of 'those' threads. ;D

Trust me, I'm not trying to. Obviously there's nothing that can be done about it. It's just annoying seeing them there like that, especially the covers that I actually made the artwork for like Kirby and whatnot. Oh wellz.

His prices are actually pretty good compared to what I've been seeing lately.
$50 for Lufia 2 is a steal currently
-
I do appreciate that he's selling the games and not just covers/cases. Hell, if I were gonna sell my games on eBay, you better believe that I'd sell 'em in cases ;D
I mean, on one hand I'm flattered that he likes my covers enough that he thinks that they'll help him sell his games, but on the other I'm sorta miffed that all the work that I did is being used to help someone else make money especially when I haven't made a dime from it (and I'm not trying to).
It's whatevs. I'm gonna have something that's a little more custom for sale pretty soon anyway. It won't be something that a 50 dollar printer and cheap printer paper will duplicate either, so I'm not too worried about knockoffs popping up here and there :P
-
I find it kind of deceiving that he's marketing them as "Collector's" cases.
It could fool someone into thinking that these were an actual limited edition release.
I'd prefer them to be marketed as "Custom"
Obviously it's also on the buyer to do some research before spending.
-
He seems to be including the cases for free or only $1 or $2 more. Maybe he used the covers for his collection.
-
Ugh.

Quess that can be categorized as art created in microwave.
Art is expensive.

I suppose that if I could make a cool two grand just by microwaving something and selling it, I would.

I imagine that you can lay some of the blame on Storage Wars. It featured an episode in which one of the auction-buying guys (I don't actually watch the show) bought an "NES-001", thinking it was worth $13,000 because that was the price one had fetched at another auction. What he didn't know was that other NES was sold with a sealed copy of Stadium Events. It's likely everyone and their mother who saw that episode thought they were sitting on a gold mine if they had an "NES-001" collecting dust in their crawlspace.
Here's an article that details it a little bit, which includes a link to said episode.
http://kotaku.com/5830709/but-if-you-call-it-an-nes+001-is-it-worth-13000
I actually saw a post on craigslist in which a person was selling their NES that they had from childhood, touting that it was the kind that went for big bucks on Storage Wars, ridiculously overestimating it's worth.
-
IIRC, later in the episode the guy gets told the NES is basically worthless.
But I'm sure some people only caught part of the episode.
-
Yup yup. He takes it to an "appraiser/expert" and is told that it's worth like $XX.
People are morons, especially the folks on that show.
And the folks on Swamp People.
And pretty much everyone on most any of the quasi-reality shows on the History Channel.

from what i remember, when i first saw this on youtube, the guy thought "-001" was the serial number, making it the first NES off the production line, which would account for the high price he expected, rather than the 'other' sale...

They also have no feedback,
0 Feedback = Scam
-
The "NES-001" episode I have saved on my DVR. I actually had a very very good laugh at the whole thing. He was so psyched that he got the NES that he bragged and bragged. He then went to some local used game shop that delt with retro games and whatnot and the employee had no idea what had happenned with that other particular auction. He then tried to turn on the NES which according to the employee, It didn't even turn on...then when they asked what the NES was worth, the employee told him $10 bucks. A bit more then what I expected for a broken NES but the look on the guy's face was priceless.
I did kinda feel bad though that his hopes and dreams were crushed so badly right then and there...
-
W T F
He is actually selling items for retarded prices too

That much money for a game you can still buy brand new? omg
-
Ya, that guy is an idiot...
-
I hate the VGA more and more every day.
-
Amen, brother!
-
I dont see the point of having a game that you cant play.
-
I don' see the point of having a game that you won't play, or that plays the same as a much cheaper game with a different name (see: Stadium Events), and sometimes annoy collectors by voicing this opinion. ;D
-
The price is just a decorative figurine... These items -if sold- go through the "best offer" option. I do hate VGA btw, graded games removed from potential players is sad, but we gotta appreciate the preservation part. A lot of our golden gems from the 8-16-64 bits era are going to be destroyed by the oxidation taking part on the copper contacts in a century or less.
These, of course, are my Two Cents.
-
Eh, the emulation and piracy scene is preserving games better than the VGA could ever hope to. :P
-
...A lot of our golden gems from the 8-16-64 bits era are going to be destroyed by the oxidation taking part on the copper contacts in a century or less...

It says it sold for 50 bucks, obviously by way of "best offer".

Wow. Sell, Sell, Sell! Roll that money back into game purchases.

Not "eBay", but related.
I just found a hilarious craiglist ad. There is such a thing as over-selling something.
"I have huge collection of Sega stuff. I spent over $3,000 on all this and I need to sell it now. This is a very rare combo of both sega cd and 32x. With the combinaton of the two the graphics are incredible and almost same what you find in a nintendo WII or even a Playstation 3 these days, but much cheaper with all games included. I have over 14 games including night trap which is both sega CD and 32X required (this is where you see the true graphics come into play,, looks just like real video!). Also comes with 18 sega genesis games. BONUS I will threow in game gear handheld system (much like nintendo U comining out in Dec but better because standalone COLOR graphics). the game gear and 4 games cost over $300 alone. Also including (not pictured) several promotional vitual fighters posters. Need money for parking tickets so much sell asap. email for more photos . $850 firm"
-
What's so funny ???
Yes 32-X/SCD/ Genesis combo is almost as owerfu as PS3, and Game Gear is as powerfull and has color graphics that Wii U controller lack...
Nope
Can't say that without cracking up...
-
Craigslist is funny. Some stuff for WAY less than it should be that you never get because there's always someone else that saw it first, and then there are crazies like that guy.
"I hav a NES plus Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt 4 sale. SMB/DH is like the rareast game for the system because it has two games on it and because they all got thrown out by peoples moms when they got a genesis or super nintento for xmas the next year!!! 500 or best offer. Please, no low balls. this is easily worth 800 or moar. My lose is you're gain! Dont miss this rare oportunity!!!"
Failzorz.
-
Ahahahahaha!
Oh man, I love Craigslist.
-
I delt with Cregs List once and got a good deal on a 6 switch Atari 2600 with 31 games and a storage box for the games and 2 joysticks and a power chord. It was $30-$40. It was missing the RF switch box but it works well. He ha a boxed 5200 with a bunch of stuff and some Genesis stuff, but someone else got to it first.
I was talking with some one about a N64 and a controller and 5 games. He was looking for money or a 360 or PS3. I contacted him but he got a trade for a 360 wit a bunch of stuff.
-
I've had two absolutely AMAZING finds on craigslist, but alas they were also HEARTBREAKING as I was beaten to them.
One was an NES system with all hook-ups, 4 controllers, the Four Score four-player adapater, and about 25 games, 10 of which were complete in box and included titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Projectand Medel Palace. The price for this glorious lot? $25!
That one was nothing compared to the second. A complete in box SNES system, BARELY USED, with about eight games complete in box, also barely used, along with about another 6 or so that were cartridge & manual only. Among the CIB were the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Valis IV, and Secret of Mana. Soulblazer was among the cartridge & manual games. The price for this glorious lot? $50!
You know how when you check out craigslist and you end up seeing nothing but the same old things that are always up there? Well, things DO show up once in a blue moon. The trouble is that all the good stuff is up for such a short time because people pounce on them. Funnily enough, if I had never seen these two ads then I wouldn't have cared, but since I did, the failure haunts me endlessly.

I figured this would stir the pot on the ebay topic:

Since a few people mentioned Craigslist I was searching around for a good SNES deal.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/vgm/3232517520.html

As for that ebay link with the custom NES box Ocarina/Master Quest, that is pretty cool, but i would never trust to buy an actual real CIB NES game from them if they can make things like that. lmao
And for the Earthbound box & cover art sale on ebay wow. I cant believe the fact that 2 people actually bought that when they can print that out for free on here. Pretty sad

How exactly does it work? Does it just mechanically press the corresponding buttons on the GB when you hit them on the Hyperboy? I'm guessing that the batteries are for built-in speakers?
-
buttons are all mechanical... the batteries are for speakers and a yellow light bulb you see on the picture... on the sides on the gameboy you still have access to volume contrast and all those other things
joystick has a small swith for 4 way and 8 way movement..
one speaker on each side as big as the grills you see on the pic

One seller I added up the month of september, at least what has had feedback left for it, had 43 sales at around 10$ each. Thats some nice extra money each month
Linky for the lazy

There are dozens of sellers selling our work. I did manage to get one to stop selling the covers that made which contain original art created by myself. He was surprisingly polite and quick take the stuff down. GCW on the other hand...

Yeah I modified my original post just after you posted, what I meant to saw is it was the usual few people doing so, now its like 10+ people on some titles, seems everyone is trying to get in on it.
Given, I don't do any artwork myself cuz I have no skeelz but if my next shipment of cases takes 3 months because its backordered because of these twatwaffles.... omg
-
I fucking hate it >:(
It's the kind of thing that makes me not want to share.
-
what they are doing is flooding ebay with the "custom cases" so every time someone else starts selling the prices are going down.. soon more people are going to be aware of TCP...

Finally found a Majesco Game Gear. Sadly It was part of a large lot (13 games, case, etc)
So I ended up paying $44 shipped for it....buuut I had ebay bucks. So I actually paid like $29 shipped for it ;)

I dislike the douchbag description but im happy to finally find a majesco gg. I dont know how many hundreds of gg's ive looked at searching for one.also should get it quick because were both in california
-
Yeah, for sure!
I've been reading up on em a bit lately since I'm trying to mod one. The big benefit is a better screen and none of the capacitor issues, right?
-
Yeah, for sure!

Yep, less screen blur and they were manufactured in 2001 so the capacitors shouldn't be an issue.
Besides that the only real difference is they're not compatible with gg tv adapter. Lol
-
Which is moot anyway since broadcast has moved to digital, rendering it a useless pile of collectible junk ;)
-
Got the game gear yesterday. Works almost flawlessly - Cart slot needs cleaned.
Think I'm gonna swap the case for another GG though. Hopefully its a simple swap.
There's somehow dirt behind the screen protector and there's something rattling inside the case.
Also the Majesco GG doesn't have the threads on the back so any attachments that screw on can't be used.
The screen and sound work pretty awesome compared to any other GG I own though. :)
So now all I'm waiting for is wiggy to get up an running, and sell me the GG light mod he's working on =P
Thought about doing the 2 LED mod real quick, but the pics wiggy showed me on CAG look a lot cleaner.
Edit: decided to Keep the Majesco case. Bit harder to swap cases than I thought. I could do it, just don't feel like it this morning.
The rattle was the speaker. The speaker mount was busted, so it and the speaker were moving around. (Fixed - hot glue)
I am going to try and take the brass nut off a tore up GG and install it in the Majesco.
Edit 2: Got the brass piece in for attachment and its all back together ^_^
(its held in by pressure, Used a drill press to press to nut in, still put a dap of glue on it.)

The art reminds me of Earth Bound, but I cant find any info out about it. Has anyone played this one before.

Well, GameFaqs says it's an action title, which may or may not be a good thing based on whether you we're expecting an RPG or not.

You've got me curious now too. Buy it and tell us about it ;D

Selling my NES covers and cases: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290787347177

Well at that starting price I see nothing wrong.
You're just recouping your material costs.
Only if you start shill bidding it gets not OK.
-
@smooooooooth - that SP is pretty awesome. Almost looks like DK bongos. I feel like the GBC would work better though because of the lack of shoulder buttons. If GBA games were more arcade-like, then I think that would be a killer mod.
Also, I'll chip bid your auction so you get teh maximumz moneyz ;)
-
I'm tempted by the cases, I have not cased up my NES games yet, but I think I lack funds and space.
-
I've moved onto cases similar to poly cases, but they are really hard to find. Everything fits in a flat rate box, or if you live by me, local pickup is welcome too =P
And in-case anyone is wondering, all of the things I currently have up are ALL duplicates =X Sorry Wiggy, can't wait til the next CCAGshow to sell them, people will look right by most of the junk =P

"This copy is the highest graded Stadium Events and the only graded SCN copy! The game was released by Bandai for Nintendo NES in Sweden in 1988. "

I doubt my game would get higher grading. :-\

eBay changed their logo and it looks boring now. Also no caps. so it's ebay.

I'd bet many many millions. Looks like a lazy transition too. Everything but the logo a the top still reads eBay. "My eBay", the page header in my browser, etc. way to half-ass it, ebay.
Also, my iPhone still thinks it's eBay (<- awtocorectz)

Since when is the PAL Stadium events THAT rae. Sold mine (which was also NOS from a stock sale) just a year ago for 300 euros. That is still a fair price in my book, 500 max!
Fuck the VGA, fuck those ebay dickheads!!!!!!
By the way Arseen. Is the manual really in english?
I just recently acquired another of those Bergsala releases new from a stock release (Barker Bill's Trick Shooting) and there the manual is in scandic languages only.

If I remember correctly yours was the blue manualed German version that is not so rare (or so this seller claims).
But now I want the blue manual too (what languages did that have BTW ?).
The yelllow Stadium Events manual is in English, Finnish, Swedish and Danish.
And yes Scandic manuals are FIN/SWE/DAN only, but we didn't always get those, but sometimes the generic English ones only.

So, I saw this post on a nearby craigslist website. The ad is a couple of days old, so I'm pretty sure I missed it. I just hope it wasn't what I think it was...
"Posting this for my neighbor, their son was big into nintendo but moved out over 10 years ago and this has been in their attic. No idea what game console you need to play them, the gold one says 1990 on the front (not sure if its real gold plated but it could be) so they are pretty old. all the boxes have games in them. send me a offer for all and then come pick them up. One of the games looks to be pornographic so you must be 18. I want to put the least amount of effort into selling these since I am doing this for free thanks. "
-
Are you sure that's over, because that sounds like the NWC cart, and if it was you would be the winner of this thread. I wonder what the other 18+ game was.
-

That's what I was thinking, too. I haven't heard anything back from the person yet. It was a posted a day or two before I saw it. :(
I guess the adult one would be Hot Slots or Bubble Bath Babes. Are there any othe "adult" Nintendo games? It makes me wonder what other games this person might have had.
-
While that would be the deal of a lifetime its probably major troll
-
I'm glad you said that, madrocsz, as I wouldn't be surprised if it were. It has to be the weirdest Nintendo ad I've seen on Craigslist. They mention the oddest details that would only pique the interest of those who know exactly what it is they have. Gold cart. 1990. Pornographic game. All games in boxes. Most ads usually say something like "15 Nintendo games" or maybe list the titles. I don't see how describing the game is any less work than typing out it's name.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't lose sleep over it :\ I mean if the son was "really into nintendo" then I'm sure he would know what he has and wouldn't have stored those games in the attic nor moved away leaving behind what he has just like that.
I also find it funny how they say it's a bunch of games yet only mention the 2 games that are worth a fortune.
But this brings up the old saying "If it's too good to be true..."
-
While that would be the deal of a lifetime its probably major troll
This. Why would he list it as just saying "1990" when there are far better decriptors on the label?
Either that, or I'm just super jealous of the find of the decade.

wonder whats wrong with them?

No idea, but I'll find out :P

let's us know how long it takes to arrived.. I have wanted to buy lots from that seller but the 2-3 months shipping transit turns me away..
-
OH, I've purchased from Hit-Japan like a zillion times. One of my fav sellers of all time!
It'll prolly be about 3 weeks. That's about what it usually takes.
-
even big lots, ??? I thought they send by boat...
thanks for the info i will start buying from them soon... ;D
-
Yup, big lots come via boat unless you specify otherwise. I've never had any trouble with them. In fact, I'm gonna add some BIN stuff to the order and see if he'll just toss it in the box with the other stuff ;)
-
good to know I been wanting to bid on the super famicom lots that they always have on ebay... :)

Do it! Like I said, great seller. You won't be disappointed :)

wiggz, any chance you could send one of those classic GB's my way?, doesnt matter if it works or not, i just need the shell.

good to know I been wanting to bid on the super famicom lots that they always have on ebay... :)
They are pretty trustworthy. I submit offers on some of their stuff, grabbed both the gold and silver versions of pokemon for $10 with shipping from them so I am a happy customer. Shipping took less than a week too.

I too have bought from them many times, never any problems.

Just wanted to ask something, but didn't want to start a new thread.
Is $32,50 cheap for a cart-only Pocky & Rocky 1 PAL for SNES?
(I've just found an auction for it).
-
Definitely no. Bought mine loose for 8 Euro.
-
Then, I'll be giving up on that.
So here's another question. How's the input lag on the Mayflash SNES to USB adapter? I'm thinking of picking one up, but I kinda would like to know, since I would be using it with my Score Master for shmups and fighting games.
This is the adapter I'm talking about:

Looks like i am going to have to start the ebay search for another game gear. I have gone through four of these things.
-
Im wondering if anyone here has bought a cord extender for any retro system like this one?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/6-FOOT-CONTROLLER-EXTENSION-CORD-FOR-THE-NINTENDO-64-N64-EXCELLENT-COND-EXTENDER-/181049019268?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item2a275ccb84&_uhb=1#ht_869wt_986
Iv heard the ones from Retro-Bit suck, but wondering if anyone has feedback as for non responsiveness?
-
They suck (in general).
-
They suck (in general).
The Game Gear or the cord extender ( or both)
-
Extension cords. They often don't make a good connection :(
-
I've got extension cords for SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Genesis. I've only had trouble with one of my Gamecube cords (a Pelican brand one)
-
need a longer cord?, why not just hack it?
ive done a couple and never had any problems
-
Then, I'll be giving up on that.
So here's another question. How's the input lag on the Mayflash SNES to USB adapter? I'm thinking of picking one up, but I kinda would like to know, since I would be using it with my Score Master for shmups and fighting games.
This is the adapter I'm talking about:
(http://www.mayflash.com/Up/day_120110/201201101000422244.jpg)
I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with SNES and NES to USB adapters such as this. Been thinking about getting some to use with emulators on games I don't own or want to try before buying.

I'd also rather prefer the RetroUSB adapters, but unfortunately, they're unavailable in my country, and importing one would be more expensive than getting the Mayflash one.
-
This might be leading off topic, but my nes controller ports are really worn down. So often i pull the cord out ( or it falls out) when playing. If they make extension cords for the nes. Maybe I could rewire the nes controller ports using patch cords.

Honestly if i see an auction with the VGA grading i immediately close the window. I'm not interested in the bloated prices that are attached with the VGA grading system.

VGA is the worst thing ever, I just had to laugh they would do this to 2 notoriously bad zelda games

sealed in a plastic prison for all eternity, never to be touched by human hands...
seems to be the perfect end for these piles of crap!

yes in the case it is a blessing that they will never be played again lol

I feel the same way.. I don't want to buy games and never play them. that's why never buy sealed games for older systems .. I could never afford to buy sealed copies for snes or nes games.. I do my classic games purchases over at the swapmeet, goodwill and craigs and i never come across sealed stuff anyways.. :)

I find grading sealed games to be odd. After all, the only thing being graded is the package. What if the game inside is broken or damaged? Sure, it's probably not, but you never know. Why pay so much money for a game you'll never see? Grading opened games would make more sense to me. I mean, mint condition NES or Genesis cartridges would be something I would like in my collection. Classic games that have perfect labels with no scratches, tears, or fading would be something to take pride in.
Grading action figures in their complete packages is something I understand. After all, you can see the whole figure. Grading unopened games is just something I don't understand.

Grading games is no different the grading coins, action figures or comic books its just to have a nice piece to display. Honestly it just a different version of collecting every game I have graded I own opened so I can play it.
-
My 2 cents
Coins grading is based in several condition factors and often times coins are wayyy older than most other collectibles. As from human touch can damage the coin I understand the casing to protect such.
Comics/Figures, again are items that can be damaged, usually older, and much more fragile. Your interaction lies in playing with them unlike coins where they can just be observed.
Video games are fairly new yet and are interactive and unlike other things that are collected they must be plugged into something else in order for them to work and contain much more stimulation (debatable) versus other collecting methods.
Also, its 1 thing to find a sealed like flintstones for NES and grade it but a whole nother to take a game that would be 1$ loose and pay 25$ to grade it.
Just my opinion
-
Coins and old stamps are entirely useless. Video Games are not. I see it like sealing away a box of cereal or batteries. That shit is meant to be used for something, not just stored on a shelf to look "pretty", which I find absurd since cardboard video game boxes are inherently ugly.
-
So, slightly off topic but I found this site today http://shop.gametrog.com/main.sc and it looks like they have pretty descent prices, was wondering if anybody has bought from them before.
-

this. this so many times.
i've seen this a lot in the trading and sports cards game, so many cheap cheap cards getting graded, especially when they're not even that good condition, it's just like, why even bother doing it.
there's certain expections, like boxed games for well known series but usually, it's just pointless.
-

Not used them before, but they do have some excellent prices. Have just sent them an inquiry to see if they are still trading, as the link to the ebay store doesn't work any more.

Hey dudes, have some old sealed PC and Commodore 64 games on ebay if you're interested in that sort of thing. Let me know you're a TCP'er if you win and i'll take 10% off the final price. shipping is already free and all auctions started at 0.99 with no reserve. thanks!

Basically some weirdo decided to cut up a load of Nes (Shakes Head!) and some dude now has them and is selling them as art. But I like the the idea of the guy who now has them, to selling. What's done is done I guess.

Might be cool little bits of wall art to have. Since the deed's already been done, there's no need to feel bad about it...
-
Ugh. things like that make me feel sick.
On the other hand, if the seller had the original Zelda, I'd consider getting it to frame.
Not sure if I'm glad there's only a cut up Zelda II though
-
They are probably from a rental store, I have cut up boxes to Mario Party Advance and Final Fantasy 1&2 GBA from Block Buster. They stuck them in a DVD case to display them, I got them when I bought the rental copys a while back, they did came with their manuals. I think I acedentlay cut a small part of the FF back or front because the guy at the counter forgot to take the security thing out, and I was already home, and i decided to destroy the case to get the cart and manual out, this was in 2009.
Random tangent, I just woke up.

No way he's going to sell it for that much.
I don't get why people waste their time with high BIN auctions.
If he really wanted to sell it he'd put it up for auction and let the market dictate what it will fetch.

is that the one where you use a mat peripheral? a buddy of mine had that back in middleschool. we prefered to play macventures instead.

Agreed but $85k is just a troll listing.
I find most ebay ads are like that.

I Agree
at a average of $42 a game most nes can be find for a few bucks... i have somewhere around 200+ nes games and if i spend more that $3 a game it had to be a really good game. if you were to spend $100 on buying the top 100 nes games ($10,000)it still would be a lot less than the asking price...
-
33k is paying for easy mode but wayy too high. Sure there are some expensive NES games but 90% of the system are 1-5$ games really so more so just a matter of finding them all. Personally, I would say 2/3rds of the system I honestly am not interested in or dont care about lol

Very interesting.
I don't get the pricing though.
You'd think prototype rarity would not be linked to actual cart rarity.
i.e. why would a panic restaurant prototype be any more or less rare than a prototype for any other NES game.

For an add-on that was considered a great failure, the Sega CD's popularity today is pretty amazing. It's too bad that so many of the games weren't appreciated during their time.
Same goes for Saturn. It's incredible what people are paying today for Sega CD & Saturn games and accessories.
-
I've been looking at those RAM carts for a while now. Really hoping I can find one for less than 15 bucks at some point. The Sega CD is pretty blah in my book, and I really don't wanna spend a ton on a part for a system that only has about 10 games that I'd ever want.
-
Wiggy, they have 2 of those memory carts for sega saturn? for $10 at my exchange. Want me to look into them some more?

Yeah man! Grab em both if you don't mind. Thanks!

Well, they might be "Memory Carts" and not "RAM Carts". Ill take pictures and send them to you when I go up there again =D

Castlevania 1 is great fun, but there is no way it should go for that much. It's readily available in a few other formats, the value should be not much higher than any other classic Nintendo game.

I mean come on I could print a cart label like that anytime, besides has anyone ever seen a PAL version with the SNS number NES-P-AL?????? That is ridiculous! Noone ever could verify that thing to be authentic than Nintendo themselves. Maybe someone should show them the auction and let them decide.

The controller is sealed so its worth a little more than $5 but $180 is definitely too much. I would pay $40 tops for a brand new sealed controller

Super Monaco GP original release (complete in box) - $4 including shipping
My interest has been piqued lately over Genesis cover variations. Apparently, some early 1990's games were re-released in their original packaging, but with the current ESRB ratings on the covers. ESRB started in 1995. Sonic 1, Super Monaco GP, Super Hang-On, and After Burner II are the known ones. While Sonic & SMGP had "Sega Classics" versions re-released later in the Genesis' life, there were also ESRB rated original covers released. They're not too expensive, but I still see them very rarely. I'd like to get each variation of the four of those games.
Here's an example of SMGP (which was originally released in 1990)with ESRB:

too bad they don't sell legal size glossy paper at Wal-mart. Or anywhere else for that matter.

I guess it comes down to if you'd rather have it glossy or cut off 15%

I WAY prefer printing on matte paper. This is what I use and recommend to everyone.
http://www.adorama.com/IESS041605.html
It seems pricey, but when you do the math, it's actually quite affordable considering that this is nearly top of the line paper. 100 sheets will yield 200 UGC covers and 300 DS covers when trimmed down to sheets 8.5x13 and 6x13 inches in size respectively. That's .30 for a UGC cover and .20 for DS covers. Do it!

Semi-gloss is best, in my opinion. It looks closest to the original slips you'd find in DVD based games.

I've always been hesitant to the idea of buying bigger paper and cutting it down for my printer. Not sure why. You really think matte is better than semi-gloss?
-
It's not that it's "better", but rather my preference. Less sheen means less reflection. There's really no reason for any gloss when the art is already covered by a gloss sleeve. There are great options in gloss and semi-gloss/satin as well.
http://www.adorama.com/searchsite/default.aspx?searchinfo=epson+ultra+premium+satin
Don't let the whole cutting thing bog you down. You're already cutting the covers once printed, so what's one more cut per print gonna hurt? :) Plus, you get way more covers for your buck when you purchase this way. Check the math on what I posted versus some middle of the road legal-sized stuff. The super nice stuff almost always ends up being actually cheaper than the legal sized stuff. Not to mention that there are NO top-notch photo papers in legal size because it's, well, legal size. Won't find a lot of artists and photographers looking to print on legal size ;)
Here's the quick and dirty when deciding between gloss and matte.
Matte = richer colors & crisper images
Gloss = darker blacks & lots of coating options that make the artwork a lot more durable
-
If you start with one don't switch half way thought like I did. It is noticeable when they are on the shelf.
-
^^^ this.
Unless what you started with was total crap and totally wanna start over, then the difference will be very noticeable :(
-
yeah it was crappy paper, I was using standard 8x11 office paper. The stuff was so thin I am suprised it didnt jam. Ill post a pic when I get home. Also I learned how to set my printer to match the paper. That really helps the image print quality with my printer. Also I have some older UGCs that are more cloudy.
and I wish I would have used 8.5"x14" legal sized paper, so that I wouldn't have had a small gap on the front.
-
Also I dont cut the edge off the image. I just re size the image. but there is still a gap with 8.5 X11 glossy

I know the math checks out, and I know legal photo paper is just a fantasy. I guess I'll look into it. Not right now though. Maybe after my next couple of paychecks.

Pretty sure I've seen 10 copy's at a local pawn ship for the past year for $8 a piece
That sounds too good to be true. Ive yet to see a single copy used anywhere, let alone 10.
If thats the case, Id gladly pay you full retail price (not ebay) for a used CIB copy if its only gonna cost you $8. Im sure others would too if you can find more than one. Then maybe some of us can actually get a copy of the game without having to pay a rediculous price to someone on ebay (who may have found one for only $8...).
I remember asking a friend about this before it came out, and he misinformed me that this was sapose to be a RPG more similar to the new Final Fantasy games so I never bothered pre-ordering it. Then after a couple months of it beeing released, I find out its actually and awesome Action Adventure RPG and there no where to be found anymore. Bullshit!
What I dont understand is why this game was in such limited quantity. Its clearly a great game and there a huge handful of people out there that still want this so it makes no sense to me why they didnt produce more. Does it not make sense to them to produce more copies so they can make more money off of us, instead of the people making a profit selling them for stupid prices on ebay?
-
I played this for a spell at my cousins house, I really liked it but never got around to buying it. I hate when companies do this.
Same thing happened to those yellow Dragon Ball Dvd box sets, and I also remember Avalon Code for the DS did this. O .... and Ni no Kuni Wizard books are shooting up in price. Things should not be this collectable right out of the box.

I haven't gotten this game yet. I'm tempted to get a copy before it shoots up even more in value. However, Nintendo, in the past, has been know for doing second runs of games. For example: The Wii Edition of Super Mario All-Stars. It has sold out! It was selling for like $70 on ebay. A few months later, Nintendo reprinted it.
-
I dont think it will get reprinted at least not a physical copy, maybe eshop. It seemed from the beginning that Nintendo was reluctant to release Xenoblade in NA, But eventually did with the Gamestop/Amazon release. Kinda seems they did not have too much faith in it.
Which is kinda sad because IMO it was the best wii game I played.

I dont think it will get reprinted at least not a physical copy, maybe eshop. It seemed from the beginning that Nintendo was reluctant to release Xenoblade in NA, But eventually did with the Gamestop/Amazon release. Kinda seems they did not have too much faith in it.
Which is kinda sad because IMO it was the best wii game I played.
The only thing that needs to happen is for GAMESTOP to ask for more copies. The value only shot up for Xenoblade this month. If Gamestop decides they want more copies, we can see more in a month.
-
You think Gamestop will ask for more Wii games? Im a little apprehensive to think they will, mine is trying pretty hard to get rid of their stock.
-
man, that sucks. i see it both used and new for pretty cheap nearly all the time round here in PAL country. even tho we got it long before the US we never seem to run out of copies.
-
@badchad ill check out the pawn shops around town on Sunday
-
Man, I'm glad I bought the game at Gamestop when it came out, I got it day 1, I wish I preorderd it so I could get the art book. My friend bought a copy a month ago for I think around $60 at a local game store, almost did not get it, he is glad he did.

YAY! I didn't miss out on owning a newer rare title! Got my Xeno from GS used for $35....about a week after purchasing it i realized I needed the manual and was able to buy one for $@ from the nintendo online shop

I actually put over 150 hours into Xenoblade during the summertime last year, and I loved every minute of it. Don't let that number scare you, though -- I was damn thorough in my play through, as I am a completionist. It was so easy to sink hours into that game though because I enjoyed it so much.

Thanks @larryinc. I realized after I posted that that most of those covers are not on the site yet (and some of the ones that are aren't the greatest quality.

I'll get it scanned soon, I'm busy over the next few days. I have a scan at a low DPI, If you want that for now.
Also, here is a tip, Serch "[game name] cover" on Google with the search setting to large images. A good way to find covers, but some may have watermarks or not be the best quality.

No one seems to follow that, even on amazon its lame. I see stuff "like new" or "very good" all the time that is disc only ll
The irony is that it makes me paranoid to list like such just because I would have the one chode that would bitch about it
-
In the description he says the box is beat up, I think he is saying the game itself is very good. I actually understand and would list it that way because a lot of people would not even check it out if he put it as acceptable. I would even go so far as listing the picture of the cart first because it does have a nice clean look to it.

Yeah, saved me 90 bucks, which would have made the purchase 290 instead of 200. Well worth the wait IMO, espeically since it wasn't like I didn't have other avenues by which to acquire GBAs that I needed for mods in the meantime. In fact, I bought at least 4 GBAs from hit-japan AFTER winning that lot to mod for customers LOL!

Buuuuuut, sounds like he's free tomorrow and he's right downtown, which works well since I have an appt downtown in the middle of the day. Lets hope for a box full of decent stuff and maybe a copy of Little Samson and Stadium Events :P

I went to pick up a copy of Odin Sphere today on Amazon, noticed there was one factory sealed for £38. I messaged the seller, and asked for a photo of the front and back cover to make sure the game was in English (as in the cover and manual). He replied right away, with a picture and a full description. Happy enough, I was willing to make the £38 purchase for a sealed PS2 game... Lo and behold went back to buy it... He ramped up the price to £50...
Moral of the story is... Don't contact sellers, or so it seems anyway...

Wrong manual is all I see, I figure that's the case.

yeah it was just the fact that he/or she was selling a NES manual. Stating that it went with a SNES game.
I usually see this sorta thing happen with comic books. Someone would list Detective books with Batman books. Unaware that there are multiple Batman comic series, with each having their own numberings.
I thought he might get a bid as that's probably not a bad deal. Batman Returns usually sells for around $10 and I dont know what a nes Batman manual sells for. My guess would probably be around $5.

He was probably selling a game lot to someone specifically; Juan (Probably to someone he meet on forums). Juan likely wanted to do their transaction via Ebay.

Side note: I hate how dumb people are on eBay. Trying to win copies of Snowboard Kids 1 & 2. My max bid was 36 bucks since I can get them for just about that with BIN. Auction goes to $56.

Someone is selling copied "Back Up" Xbox 360 games.
-
Oh dude, there's TONS of that shit in my area. It's fucking annoying as shit, especially when they're asking 10 bucks for a loose DVD-R. At least go to the trouble of putting it in a green Xbox case and maybe an insert. Fucking lazy.
-
Lol, those are bad but the ones I see a lot in my area is "Wii with 200+ games only $400" You open up the listing and upon reading it you see that it's a hacked wii with all those games on an external hdd. Same with the original Xbox...selling a hacked system with a bunch of "backup" games on the hdd selling for a lot.
Someone even offered to fill a hdd with a bunch of games for $300 and like $500 if you don't have an hdd and want the seller to supply one lol

This is my new favorite listing
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-lot-for-Juan-1-of-6-/130892010210?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e79c592e2
That seller has some HIGH priced items.

"This is a 1968 Custom Corvette Hot Wheels "redline" car by Mattel. The car has a magenta body, creme interior, and a flip-up hood. This car is in used condition and has wear from use including bent wheels & other wheel wear, areas where paint has worn away, and some other nicks, wear, & scratches."

$200 for a hot wheels car?

There was a hot wheels car that sold for over $60,000. I think it was a VW bus from the 60's.

Same here. It's total crap. Plus, like 2/3 of video game For Sale listings are these "I'll buy your used games for top dollar" asshats. One guy posts prices that he's willing I pay. Shit like $40 for Earthbound, and $15 for Super Metroid, and so on. Jackasses. I hope moody actually takes them up on that shit.

Right, because broken systems are worth just as much as, if not more than good, workin systems :-\
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=330910423664&index=3&nav=WATCHING&nid=73342635044
Works out to about $24 per system. Derp. Of course I offer $10 per ($300) and he the ol' insta-reject.
In fact, that seller's prices are sort of insane in general it seems.
-
i'm 100% for piracy for private use. modding is a respectable service as well, but making money off roms, actively putting a price on something that should be free is never ok in my book. i wonder how many times you have to report stuff like that before ebay takes any action. i've never even seen an item removed from the site no matter how obvious.

I'm just about done with Creg's List, I have currently 2 pending buys, One I am most likely picking up tomorrow, A Gamecube lot for $60, but another with a huge lot of stuff, I asked what games are included, he sends me a pic, I ask how much for a smaller portion of the lot, some very good CIB SNES games and a pile of GB games, no response for a few days, and none yet. I'm sending another email.
The GC woman never checks her mail, she says she only checks it once a day, and she gives me a number and never picks up.
The only thing I ever bought of there was an Atari 2600 for $40, His house was a pain to find but it was easy to contact.

It's hit and miss, that's for sure. Unless it's a great deal I'll usualy dump a seller if I feel like I'm getting jerked around.
And when it comes to selling I always make it first come first served. Telling a buyer that you'll hold an item for them is a sure fire way to get blown off and have it sitting around until you post it again.
-
Well, The Gamecube one worked out and I'm picking it up tomorrow.
The other one has CIB Super Metroid, Castlevania 4, Doom and Super Ghosts and Gauls for SNES. so its worth it, its part of a huge lot of 8 systems, I'll see if I can just get that and some GB games, maybe a NES with some games too. I got a message back from him, we will see how this goes.

I bought an Action Replay for Saturn in order to play Japanese games and the next day got a message from ebay saying not to pay for it because the item was removed. I was pretty pissed because I already paid for it and luckily the seller already sent it to me. They never gave me a reason why it was removed and I have seen some listed since then.

Thanks, the GB games he got are good too, a lot of titles I'm missing. But I'm mostly interested in those SNES games.

@nacho: that sucks. action replay is sorta legit isn't it? i mean i've reported stuff like a guy selling a burned dvd full of roms (and not at cost).

I don't think there is anything illegal about Action Replay as it's cheat device.
Can Action Replay even be used to play roms? I know it can be used to overturn the region lock but for illegal games I don't know?

Here's the message I got:
Thanks for your interest in this listing:
251218935036 - Action replay for Sega Saturn
We're sorry to tell you that the item isn't available for purchase anymore. We removed the listing because it likely fell into one of these three categories:
-- The listing doesn't follow eBay guidelines.
-- The item isn't allowed on eBay or can only be listed under certain conditions.
-- The listing contains pictures or words that may have violated copyright or trademark rights.
This is disappointing for everyone, but sometimes it's an action we have to take to protect you as a buyer.
Important: If you won the item and haven't paid for it yet, you don't need to complete the transaction. If you've already paid for the item, we encourage you to contact the seller to get more information about the transaction. If you don't receive the item, your purchase price plus original shipping may be covered by the eBay resolution process:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/resolving-problems.html
We're sorry for the inconvenience. eBay still has lots of other great deals. Just go to http://www.ebay.com to shop. We hope to see you soon.
Thanks,
eBay
So most likely somebody sent ebay a message saying it was a copyright infringement since everything looked fine on the listing and I have seen others listed.

Action Replay on Sega Saturn wont let you play pirated sofware, it does let you get past the region lock though.

You're right. Majyuuou is too expensive. at least, Tiny Toon Adventures Dotabata Daiundoukai costs like 40 dollars.

All repros totalling bit over 150 Euros including postage.
- Pocky & Rocky 2, Castlevania, Final Fight Guy and Final Fight 2 nothing special.
- Turtles has infinite health permanently on.
- Zelda Paraller Worlds Redone in English.
- DBZ RGB in English.
- Ranma ½ Red Cat Gang in English.

Man, those are some rough labels. You need some fresh and clean labels for those bad boys ;)

Yeah some of the artwork is not that good but the actual quality is even bit better than the real SNES labels.

Didn't quite a few of those see official PAL releases? Why the need for repros?

I'm crazy collector.
- Pocky & Rocky 2, Castlevania and Final Fight 2 yes. C and FF2 were coupled with games I wanted, P&R2 was curiosity buy. I own real PAL versions of the 3 too.
- Turtles has infinite health permanently on. I own real PAL version too.
- Zelda Paraller Worlds Redone in English.
- DBZ RGB in English. PAL release was in french (which I do own). I own real JAP version too.

-
- Ranma ½ Red Cat Gang in English. PAL release was in french (which I do own). I own real JAP version too.
That game was never released outside of Japan so any French version you might have is a repro. Only 2 Ranma games were released in the west: Hard Battle and the butchered Street Combat. Of those two only Hard Battle made it to Europe.

sorry brain fart, was talking withnephew and was thinking about DBZ games.
Miscopied text, should have said: have US repro already, will get JAP CIB later.

wow free shipping - deal
-
Atleast it has free shipping, I hate when I see a listing for hundreds of dollars and shipping is $4. It cost like $2 to send a game anywhere in the US if you use First-Class, just eat that expense.

agreed, shipping a single game is cheap and any time ive ever sold on ebay and charged shipping it was only when a game was quite cheap and charged 2$

I didnt know if that was good or bad. I just saw the listing was coming to an end and dropped a bid. Tomb Raider I always played at a friends house. It was never one of those games that I felt I had to own.

After quite a bit of lurking over auctions, I managed to get a Sega CD (model 2) for $35 (plus $15) shipping. Also included are a Genesis model 1 (which I already have, so trade-in fodder), the base extender so the model 1 Genesis fits on the thing properly, the metal plates, etc (all of which can go for a bit just on their own)
... Not included, unfortunately, are any of the cables. Since I already have a Genesis 1 and 32X and such, all I really need is an aux cable to get the audio mix going (easy enough) and another MK-1602... which might be more of a problem. I do have one of those generic Retrobit "universal" AC adapters for NES/Genesis/SNES (came with my toploader NES), but I've heard they don't actually work so well with Genesis..es and barely at all with Sega CDs (not surprising since it only outputs 850 mAh instead of 1.2 Amp)
Still, I feel like I did pretty well

Grats man, I am so intimidated to start a Sega collection. I don't have anything Sega genesis related because it's a lot of stuff to get the setup. For instance, I would want a model 1 with the HD graphics words on it, then you need two cables, one for audio and one for visual because of the model 1's setup. Then a Sega CD with base, plus the 32X, then to make the Sega Tower of Power, I need a Game Genie, then a SOnic and Knuckles, THEN... a sonic not for resale cart. THEN..... that Sega Power Strip that's rare so I can attach all the a/c adapters from each sega component, THEN.. Castlevania Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps, the best two reasons to own a Sega Genesis, in the end it's going to be a lot of dinero, and it's hard to find a working Sega Cd and 32X and a nice looking model 1 console.
-
Oh, yeah, that's the other bit. This Genesis 1 + CD 2 have been in this guy's attic since he was a kid. His dad grounded him from it and hid it up there and then they all somehow forgot about it. From what I could tell in the pic on the auction, it's in extremely good condition.

no ebay love for me. Passed up on 2 aero fighters auctions as they both were from some shady overseas sellers, one with horrible feedback
Grr, I will get this game

Hmm... Maybe it was because I was looking at it on my iPod before, but now that I'm looking at it on my computer there are obvious bit that are either dusty or scuffed (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Rare-Sega-CD-with-Sega-Genesis-Console-attached-includes-mounting-brackets-/00/s/OTAwWDE2MDA=/z/ziMAAOxyOM5Rar10/$T2eC16VHJFwFFZ8RnuyZBR,r1zRhtw~~60_12.JPG) (considering the reflection of a bottle of some cleaning product right next to it... It may be the latter :-\) Oh well, we'll find out when it gets here (sometime in the next few days).
... And now that I look at his other items, he's selling manuals and overpriced UGCs (without artwork, at least). I maaay end up with a non-working system/add-on with a clever description to get my hopes up.

Two years ago (October 2011 to be precise) he completed a CIB set for the Nintendo 64, announced it on Nintendo Age, and a few days later he put every single game for auction on eBay (I bought 10 games from him). I think he's more a re-seller than a collector.

When you think about it, that's not that bad considering the massively inflated cost of some N64 titles. Namely anything with Mario's name on it. It's tough to find any CIB N64 games on eBay for less than $10.

I imagine that price would be a bit more considering it's been 2 years, but not all that much. The N64 really hasn't taken off in terms of collectibility (yet...)

Also, why so much for shipping? It seems that's a standard for people on eBay selling systems. I know damn well they don't cost that much to ship.
-
The shipping is that much because it is calculated based on your zip code. You should do flat shipping at $15 then you can fit all in a large flat rate box (free at the post office) or if it fits in medium it is only like $11. Or you could start bidding at $15 and give free shipping. I think you would get more bids that way. You should definitely crop out ashtray too, it looks awful.

I understand how eBay works. However, I know what shipping costs. You can easily ship a console via parcel post for under $10. Even UPS ground would cost less. That number is calculated by information entered by the seller. They can put in whatever they want to inflate the shipping.

I don't think a lot like this could be shipped for less than 15 USD via the traditional methods offered by the USPS (my reference http://postcalc.usps.com/MailServices.aspx?m=13&dz=14580&oz=92154&pob=0&MailingDate=5/7/2013&MailingTime=8:00%20AM&mt=12).

Well, for priority mail, obviously. I just told you that USPS parcel post is a lot less. Most likely under $10. Personally, I'll wait a few more days and save some money. Also, I've bought consoles on eBay. Not one has arrived via Priority mail. They're overcharging for shipping. Plain and simple.

Standard post cannot be printed online, so you'd have to pay for postage at the post office, and that alone keeps me from offering it on eBay. Not to mention that it's not trackable, so you're sorta fucking yourself in the ass by using it. Pretty much ANY paypal claim against you will be found in the buyer's favor if you cannot provide tracking. No thanks.
UPS is all based on travel distance, so you can't definitively say what that would cost unless you can provide package size/weight and 2 zip codes.
USPS prices have gone up a LOT this past year. They let themselves fall into a permanent cycle of loss for the last 20 years and all of a sudden decided that that wasn't working for them, so prices got adjusted accordingly to compensate. Government planning at its finest.
edit: Looking at the shipping location and a random zip code in Utah that I picked for the destination, it looks like $14.20 for standard post and $21.20 for priority based on a 5lb box. I would gather he's entered 5lbs as the weight based on the estimated price as per ebay's calculator shipped to me versus the USPS.com calculator, which game me the same price when I used 5lbs as the weight ($8.85 to Cleveland, OH). It just costs a lot to ship stuff anymore.

I know what you're trying to say, but he's offering Expedited Shipping not Parcel Post. Sellers try to protect themselves from those scammers that allege their games were received damaged and demand a refund.
So no, I don't see overcharging, is just that he's not offering a cheaper shipping option.

I just ran through the ebay wizard, thats why there is no other option. Cheaper Parcel now available.

Yep, same reason I don't. I don't want to go to the post office either. However, I've been looking for a specific model 1 Genesis on eBay to mod. In my search I found someone selling three busted model 1s, but they were only asking $18 for shipping. Now, that I can understand. Then again, maybe they're under estimating and they're going to eat it on shipping. I've shipped stuff recently that weighed more than five pounds and I didn't pay $15 to ship them. One of them went to Michigan. Then again, you're right. There are a lot of variables to take into account.

See, but that's not what I'm saying. What I've had happen to me are people charging, and listing it as expedited shipping, but shipping it via parcel post. So, they're pocketing the money and over charging for shipping. I'm not accusing him of doing that. I'm just saying it's happened to me, more than once and makes me very hesitant to bid on these auctions anymore. I suppose all I can do, is vent my frustration though the feedback system.

I registered on eBay in 99' and there were a lot of deal to be had. It was also a place I sold a lot of stuff. Sadly, those days are gone. It's even more sad that eBay is about my only venue to buy games right now.

Ebay charges sellers to much now.

Which is pretty much why I don't sell on eBay anymore for quite some time.

The car part-out auction actually makes sense, even though its unorthodox. He's using the auction as an ad only. He's not selling any one specific thing, just parts from the vehicle and he's clearly too lazy to list individual parts.
Laziness is the new killer on eBay and Craigslist. People often won't post a list and tell you to refer to a series of blurry pics so you can see what crap you're getting (so annoying with games) or provide nothing at all other than "trust me, this lot is worth it. Must see to believe". Yeah, must see our copy of Donkey Kong Country and 30 sports games. What makes it worse is that the market for retro games is so huge that these people can get away with it. Hell, I got those 3 Mario party games via a super vague "lots of NES/SNES/N64 games for sale, email me for list" Craigslist ad. I got a good deal, but it's super annoying playing guessing games and having to send a half dozen emails back and forth just to figure out if you even want anything that these people are selling, let alone be willing to pay their asking price (which I also had to provide, since the guy told me he was "only taking offers"). Making the buyer do all the work is fucking lame.
/rant.

I guess I was lucky with my buys on CL.
None of them said the list of games in the add, but:
3rd (I'm picking this up next weekend) - Send a good picture, I just cant make out 4-5 GB games.
2nt - Sent a semi-poorly typed list.
1st - Atari games- No list but I did not care that much, happy to get a light 6-er for $40.

There are some deals on Ebay if you know what you're looking at. I just won this auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281107953135?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
While it may look like just a lot of common games, there's one gem in there. The "Venture" game is a super rare variation, as it says "for Colecovision and Adam" on the label. Most were produced with just "Colecovision" on the label. A CV rarity list shows this particular variation as a rarity of 9 out of 10. It's the rarest commercially released game, as the only game that gets a 10 is one that wasn't available to the public.
I thought I was going to get it for the opening bid of $9.99, as there were no other bids until the final minutes. Someone else obviously spotted it, because there was a bidding war in the final few minutes. A member that I was chatting with on the AtariAge forums says that he would pay $100+ for this game. Lucky for me as well is the fact that many of the other games in the lot, while common games, were ones I needed for my collection. Plus, there's some nice manuals there too, and I love having original manuals with my games.
I just wish there was a Venture cover here that I could print for it.

Signatures are more of a western thing to begin with. Eastern countries like Japan tend to use stamps/seals for official purposes that we would use signatures for (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_%28East_Asia%29).
So signing things as a celebrity is often done in romaji (the roman alphabet that we use), but it's not universal. Off hand: Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima and Keiji Inafune (... I think. You can kind of make out a K, at least) all sign in romaji, but Eiji Aonuma and Nobuo Uematsu sign in kanji.

£300 - WTF?
There were 4 different colors of these controllers and are very rare that's why it is so expensive. The only way to get these back when the N64 was still being sold is through Fox Data. I think you had to actually send a controller to them and they painted it or maybe you could buy one from them for more money too. IIRC it was pretty expensive (not to mention you would be without a controller for weeks) so not many people did it so they are rare.

I've been wanting a Jaguar (Atari) for a while now. I had one as a kid, played the hell out of it and it's the last retro console I want. For games I want AlienvsPredator, Wolfenstein3d, Tempest2000, Doom, and Cybermorph, which are all the games I had and played as a kid. I've heard Kasumi Ninja and Rayman are pretty cool for the system too.
I already missed one chance to get all of this when I didn't act quickly enough on this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281094156318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I've watched the prices for a while and under $200 isn't bad for everything that was included.
I've been cruising ebay and craigslist for over a month since then waiting for another opportunity to get the final system for my collection and finally... I found another Jaguar listing on ebay. I set my personal limit around $200 knowing that I might go a little over that to get this one because the condition was really good and it came with the exact games I wanted, and an extra controller too. But where the hell do you draw the line when bidding?
In the last 5 minutes, the bidding jumped from $127 to $202 and I was already getting edgy about it, but I said fuck it, I want this thing so I'll go to $230. I even blew past that and bid $260 and still couldn't beat the other person's max bid. $260 on an old system that everyone hates on and is used by dentists to hold tooth cleaners. What the hell, that's almost enough for a WiiU. Ok, I'm done crying about it. Just wanted to share.
This is the listing I lost out on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Jaguar-Black-Console-NTSC-/181144903285?autorefresh=true&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=8M5lIEIOWbW1v2GjAyZp88YPWI8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
There's no way I'm spending over $250 on an old system like that. It's fucking ridiculous. I should have gotten the one listed in April when I had the chance, but it's over. I guess I'm over it now.

Action 52. Wow. Just, wow. Although I love how they list it as a NES-001 like it's something important.

Wait what it's not worth mega monies? ??? ... ::)

You couldn't pay me 260 to put that thing in my cave. That was the first thing I sold when I went back to college. I cannot believe they're worth more than 20 bucks at this point ???
Edit: Get lost.
Sorry man, nothing personal.

Its because of Storage Wars. The guy on there said that NES-001 models were rare and worth big monies. That has actually drove the price up on NES consoles for a while. Luckily people are smarter, and they finished the episode.
-
That Storage wars douche was brilliant. He saw an auction for NES with some games going for thousands and thought it was because the NES was modeled 001 (I have one too! although it's PAL-001) but he didn't realize that it was a boxed copy of Stadium events that was the reason for the package going up so high on eBay.

Wiggy-no need to apologize. You gave your honest opinion so I gave my honest response.
I have disdain for sports games, anime figurines, and VGA grading, but if it brings someone pleasure then more power to them. Peace

Even funnier is that guy used to own some game stores. It's in his bio. How could he be so oblivious about his own merchandise? By the way, he's now dead. Killed himself a few months ago after some problems with the law regarding illegal drugs. His name is Mark Balelo.

I like that he wants an obscene price because it's VGA graded, but at the same time he discredits the grade because he thinks it should be higher. The crushing on the bottom right is pretty obvious anyways..

It comes with the rarer combo cart.

I might just buy a super famicon or an American SNES, and buy that version of the game.
-
Dude that's crazy how much the PAL version of Demon's Crest goes for. I didn't know there were other games that were almost as bad as Earthbound. I don't think I could spend that on SNES.

I don't think Demon's crest is a very text-heavy game, so maybe you could import the Super Famicom version if you can mod your SNES. Unfortunately the SFC version is pretty expensive too, but that's what I do if both US and PAL versions of a good game (like King of Dragons, or Mega Man X2/3) are ridiculously expensive and/or rare.

Man our copies of Symphony of the Night range from 75 - 150+ last time I checked, which was about a year ago. Tombi (Tomba) is relatively expensive as well, with Tombi 2 being even more expensive. I payed a pretty penny for Castlevania Vampires Kiss (Dracula X) as well. I'm not to sure what the retro scene is like in other European countries, but in Ireland it's pretty God awful. For example, Gunstar Heroes was going for 80 Euro complete on ebay not to long ago, I found it in a retro games shop for 35 complete, I thought that was a pretty good deal. Generally if it ain't Sonic or Fifa, your going to pay out the ass.

I was thinking about doing that. Last time I looked the SFC version of Demon's Crest was going for 30-40 Euro. I'd happily pay that.

The '90s metal band look isn't helping me take him any more seriously either. I'm not one to judge based solely on appearance, but that look coupled with the over-the-top intensity just make him hard to watch and regard as anything more than an angry basement dwelling game nerd :/
-
to be fair tho, most youtube/internet folks are pretty bad. before i learned to like people like nostalgia critic, jim sterling and avgn i had to accept that they were absolute amateurs and find things to like about their opinions/presentations. whenever i'm watching another new one of these amateurs, like any of their buddies they like to shove into their videos, it's really kinda cringeworthy, but you could probably learn to appreciate those as well.
-
As a lifelong metal fan I can honestly say that I am embarrassed by 99% of metal fans.

I like the AVGN (but I like James Rolfe more than the AVGN character, if that makes sense?) and watch Spoony's videos too. But you have to remember that most people who do reviews do not have training as an actor or a degree in speech communications - I studied it in university, but I still don't feel comfortable in front of a camera - and therefore can appear bumbling and stiff in front of a camera. But I think a certain amount of .. should I say amateurish production values? is the charm of internet reviewing, since anyone can start doing it. There are some internet shows that have really good set-ups and quality production, though.
-
I like AOS because he's usually pretty quick to deliver gaming news, and I tend to agree with what he says. He rambles though. I can understand being excited for something, or angry, but something that should take 5 minutes if you're going in depth takes him 10-15 minutes. He tries too hard to be over the top when it's not necesary, and he weaves it into his points, so it's not like you can fast forward through it all.
He can be funny sometimes, but sometimes I read the title of the video and realize I got all my information right there.

"I painted some squares, give me $20,000"
Fuck off.
Hello and welcome!
For your consideration, we have a metaphorically charged masterpiece that conveys a glimpse of survival
approaching the threshold of death. There is something intriguing about the struggle that mankind faces daily. Every
move you make; Every choice you take is uniquely profound. A vibrant work of art has been created to reflect on that
topic in a new way. 2013's "Tetris A" is a very large acrylic painting on high quality premium canvas, measuring
60x48x1.5, created and hand painted by American visual and audio artist Robbie Burger! This is a part of the limited
Tetris series that are currently being released. "Robbie Burger moves the language forward by creating modern art
with retro influences. Furthermore, Burger's style paves an emotional landscape that is rarely seen in contemporary
art." -C.M. Bellin. This completely original painting is nothing short of captivating. There are pieces of art that you
look at and say "Ahhh, then hmmm." This painting makes you go "Hmmm, then ahhh!" You will sink deep into your
mind, reflecting on it's meanings. And there are several. How many do you see? Tetris A is a painting that you will
truly treasure and will appreciate in value (sentimentally as well as monetarily). Robbie Burger has works of art in
museums and in many private collections around the world. The photos were taken in the Paramount Gallery in
Minnesota. He is currently working on a new album, and the single "Follow the Stars" is out on itunes. Robbie is also
working with several film and tv companies and is negotiating music licensing for upcoming projects. You have a
chance to make this masterpiece a part of your daily life. To call the work a conversation piece would be a
understatement. It certainly would be be the centerpiece of a living room, office, gallery, museum, or basically
anywhere. The painting will be professionally and carefully delivered to your door. Feel free to make a reasonable
offer. Thank you for viewing and have a wonderful day!
-
Ugh, such arrogant "fine artist" snobbery. Who is C.M. Bellin? I would guess nobody because that review is total bullshit, clearly written by the artist himself. I think Burger should stick to making cheesedick album covers for his (sure to be) crappy music.
What a genius!!! Why didn't anyone think of this before? Oh wait, it's been done to death.

I think he is talking about other thing, one hour after he watch the painting CM Bellin was with a hooker, he was confuse so he really descrive de hooker lol
Is this fore real?, if so i will paint the face of Mario and Luigi from nes and sale them apart for 30,000 each one
Please someone tell me that this isn't true, i thought that the guy selling the Wii Cd that can be play in every console was the biggest idiot but this guy is far, far away, i don't have a name for what he is, and i don't think exist a name for him

Well at least he asks you to make a reasonable offer. How's, say, $35? It is rather large, after all.
-

Well if he plays music as well as he plays tetris (as shown in his painting) I think hes in trouble regardless.
I just find it amusing how some artists in general think they can put an insane price tag on art just because they're trying to convince people and themselves that their work is so deep that it can be related to life problems.

Just bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/171067927743?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/171067927743?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)
with my winnings from the SNES lot I sold yesterday. So I turned a $3 pawn buy into Panzer Dragoon. Only thing that could have made me happier was getting panzer dragoon for $3 in the first place. xD
oh and let me know if anyone needs the two random manuals that lot came with. I'll give them away for the cost of postage
(Daytona USA and Clockwork Knight)
-
Tried to set it up for overseas ship but it wouldn't let me select it, then I tried to opt in for their new shipping thing where they ship it overseas for you they said the games weren't eligible. -_-
I've heard bad things about that service, anyway. They unpack everything and pack it back up, often so poorly that it arrives damaged... And then eBay refuses to accept responsibility and blames the seller.

He is buying a box with 100 case for "90 dollars" and he is tying to make more than 600 dollar with the covers from TCP, that's ridiculous. Like Arseen said hope that intelligent people see that it can be download for free

I recognized those shelves too, but I doubt that it's NESComplex. If you do a quick Google search for Universal Game Cases, that same image appears, so it's easily accessible.

I dont think its him either, however that pic is def of his games (even order and exact games match).
When I saw ebay ad I thought of video lol

the shelves actually looked like mine too but I can't take picture from that side, only from the right.

Watching the video and reading the description of it, is clearly that he is promoting TCP and UGC for every one to buy them or download the covers directly from the page.
On the description he add both pages. like madrocsz said, don't think he is the guy, don't think he is so stupid to sale them on ebay and promote them for free or buy the box directly from the page in a video. :P

That would be cool if it was real. Even just as a proto cart, but if they really gave a crap they could just do a rom dump and post it online.
Also....
A Japanese friend has been playing it to try and get to Lavender town, however after over ten hours she hasn't made it... never having played Pokemon before.
Anyone who has played Pokemon for any length (and I'm sure they at least KNOW some one who has) could get to lavender town in what, 3 hours even being in japanese. In red version I did it in around 6-7 hours when I was 8 years old. So I just feel that lines complete crap

To add to that, even if they're not familiar with Pokemon and had trouble getting to Lavender Town within 10 hours, why not play a little longer? Do you somehow think the value would go down further because you played it for 20 hours instead of 10?

A urban legend about the original release of the Japanese cart

That's just the first link from google
-
The cart is fake. Pokemon Green was released in 1996, two years before the gameboy color, and thus would not have "Gameboy Color" printed on it, or be in a black shell. The label seems off center...and if it were a beta, I doubt they would print an elaborate label for a testing cart.

They have Dino City and Ren & Stimpy: Veediots! listed too. Though, and maybe this is just me, spending $20 for two empty boxes I don't intend to keep really is dissuading. If anyone else is willing to buy them and provide scans so we can have proper covers for them, I'd be eternally grateful.

I'm not really a cover artist, so I can't make anything out of it myself, but having scans for these two games are a giant step forward for me, as they're the last two SNES games I have uncased. I know someone was working on a vertical Dino City cover, but it was still a bit of a work in progress, and even with the few things needed to finish, would not be up to site standards.
But yes, I needed Ren & Stimpy: Veediots for the SNES, so someone could turn it into a vertical cover. And the once those two covers are made, all I would need is a vertical Batman Forever (I think we only have a horizontal, and that game was so bad, no one wants to make a vertical. :P).

Okay, now, one of those bullshit VGA-rated games I could see being put up for that much. But this is fucking stupid. I think this person (assuming they even have the actual game to sell) is just going off of the most expensive prices, not realizing the reason WHY some people put up their games and ask for thousands of dollars.
Also, fuck VGA rating in general, and also, fuck people who can justify jacking up their asking price on anything at all just by putting "RARE!" in the item listing, despite the item not being rare at all.
...I beg your pardon.
-
I thought it was one of those stupid VGA-graded games at first, but then just for curiosity I looked at the listing and it's an open-box game. That's just crazy. I don't think anyone will buy it, but it's annoying seeing these weird, inflated prices.
On another note, is Dracula X even rare? I remember it being pretty common back in the day. I know the prices are inflated because people want it to fill their collections, but even $200 - $300 is too much. It's not even that great, to be honest. The PC Engine version is better (and cheaper.)
-
Asking price is almost no indication of a game's value. Selling price is.
And I'll agree with the anti-VGA rating. Why in the fuck would I ever want a game that I could never play?
-
Kindly stop bashing VGA people I know it's not for everybody. There are lots of collectors who enjoy having vga'd games. I have about 60 myself mostly n64.

Having a game ranked by the VGA for your own personal collection is one thing. If that's what you want to do with your games, that's your business. But to have the game ranked by the VGA for the sole purpose of jacking up the price of the game? That's a problem. It inflates the price of the game, especially games that are already hard to come by, simply because someone else thought it was "of high quality." I'm not interested in your ranking, and really, neither is the seller. It's just an excuse to milk more money out of the consumer. Why should I have to pay more for a copy of a game that you had ranked, a service I had no interest in? I know if I were to recieve a game in that plastic casing with whatever number grading it got, I would immediately remove that casing and trash it, because it serves no purpose for me outside of making sure the game was secure during delivery.
-
Yes, youll pay more for a vga'd game. You'll also pay more for a factory sealed game than a boxed game, more for a good box than a shitty box, more with a manual than without, more for a good cart than a scruffy cart.
It's essentially a different market - If its not at your collecting level, don't buy it. I'm fed up with hearing about the VGA.

That price is absurd in my opinion considering 90% aren't worth 10 bucks.

Glad I already have X1-8. Prices like that can give a guy a heart attack. Those don't even bring manuals. It's just the carts!
Agreed. Personally, I wouldn't ask for that price based on the condition of the carts he's presenting. He even admits in his description that they are in pretty poor shape. You could likely find cart-only copies of both games in better shape for comparable prices.

Yeah, they look terrible. I'm not paying $235 for 2 snes carts (unless it's earthbound and hagane or some other obvious flip), but if I do then I want them minty. They could at least give the games a fresh cart and label sticker. Geez

I wanted to get your opinion on something guys. On eBay, there are SNES copies of Aero Fighters going for huge money. Is this accurate pricing? What makes the game so rare?
I am thinking about trying my luck at Garage sales.
What do you think ?
Good luck at garage sales, its my holy grail as well, meaning the game I flat refuse to buy due to its price
Its pretty uncommon, but it has tripled in price last 2 years, so f it, specially considering no cover for it lol

Want Xenoblade Wii for $90?
Expensive, but still better than other sites.
I'm glad I bought this when it was $50.

Why the hell is Xenoblade Chronicles 100.000+ on ebay and amazon. Hell why is it 80.00 at gamestop........... I got my copy for 30$ :o
-
$30 is an amazing deal for that game. I paid $50 for my NA copy, and $50 for my EU copy (which I ended up giving to a friend). Considering that I paid $99 for a brand new copy of Chrono Trigger for the SNES back in the day (and it didn't take me 150 hours to play through that game to completion), I would pay $100 for Xenoblade Chronicles if I didn't already own it but knew how much I would enjoy it.

I always seem to get burned when I list something as an auction rather than a Buy-it-Now. I was just looking at recent sales of John Madden Football Championship Edition for the Genesis, and they've been consistently selling for $100-$150.
Two months ago, I decided to sell one of mine. I usually look at the most recent sales and come up with a reasonable Buy-it-Now price based on that data. They were selling for around $80 complete back then. So, I started my auction at $40 and figured I'd generate some interest (and hopefully a bidding war) because mine was absolutely mint - one of the best examples you'll ever see. I let it run for a week, and it ended up at only $44.
So, apparently in the weeks before my auction people were gladly paying $80+, and in the weeks following my auction they were gladly paying $80+, but in the week that mine was listed nobody though it was worth more than $45. Now, it's suddenly skyrocketed. Luckily, I have another one that's in just as good condition, but it still irks me.
Similar thing happened a few months ago when I sold a Paper Mario game for N64. Loose cartridges were averaging around $30, and I had one in the original box. I decided to auction it, hoping for some action, and ended up getting $30.01 for it.
Oh well, I guess I could look at the bright side. Now that the Madden has taken off, my collection is a little more valuable.
-
As a buyer, I feel similarly. I keep a decent tab of what things are going for, so I always aim for around that value when I'm bidding. Y'know, I want to get a good deal, but I also know the seller needs to feel good about the sale as well (I'll go above value if I REALLY want the item, though). But I feel like it's becoming more and more impossible to actually win a fucking auction anymore without using some kind of sniping tool. The last eight auctions I've bid on were good, solid items I wanted, and I offered decent cash for them, too. Each and every single time I got beat out by some asshole who somehow bid the minimum increment above my maximum bid with 2 seconds left on the fucking clock.
The luckiest I've got recently is a copy of Christmas NiGHTS for $7.00 (I turned out to be double-lucky too, because the guy who sold it sent the damn thing "protected" by a paper CD sleeve in an unpadded manila envelope with the words "DON'T BEND" scribbled on it, yet it somehow arrived in one piece anyway). Everything else I've gotten recently has been from Buy It Now listings. I feel very much like eBay is becoming the new Amazon (for me, at least), in that if I can't just click a button to buy an item immediately I can kiss that shit goodbye. feelsbadman.jpg
EDIT: Oh, why don't I use any sniping tools? 'Cause I feel like that's shady and bullshit and I'd rather not contribute to the problem. I dunno, I guess at heart I still believe in the goodness of my fellow man. What a dumbass I am.
-

I don't even use eBay that much (have about 30 total purchases) but I swear this has happened to me so often. I didn't even know they can use some kind of programs to snipe. :o But I always prefer to buy it now, since auctions tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth when I get sniped, like you said, with 2 seconds on the clock and no way to respond.
By the way, the finnish equivalent of eBay, www.huuto.net, works a bit differently: if you make a bid with less than 5 minutes to go on the item, it always extends the time until the end by 5 minutes. It's a really good system for the seller, if there's a lot of last-minute-snipers, but not so much for the buyer. But at least you can still respond if there happens to be some other guy who is watching the item.

actually ebay has one click bids built in, you can only use the [1-Click bid] button towards the very end of an auction and only if you previously bid on the item! ill often camp out an auction for its last few minutes to make sure I win it if I want it very badly. also ebay allows you to put a max bid which allows ebay to automatically bid on a Item on your behalf up to the max amount you entered when ever someone out bids you! thats another tool to use if you cant make it for the last few mins of an auction! These are to tools provided to every one by ebay themselves no downloads or anything and both could account for you so called sniping tools but ive also seen the kinda tools your talking about.
-
I know about max bids; use it all the time. I guess I wasn't 100% clear on the usage of 1-Click Bids. I've used that functionality, but I guess not in the way you're describing. That's interesting. Today I Learned. Cheers.
-
Damn it. I have something like 150+ items to list on eBay. Did a bit of cleaning out my collection.
Bunch of avg quality commons I don't really want or have room for.
Then a bunch of manuals/art for games I don't have, etc etc. This is going to be a very long day.
The bulk of them are going to be listed in small lots, but that's still a lot of cart cleaning.
-
Or you could just make your maximum bid from the start. Crazy, I know.

my father in-law is selling a handfull of n64 games with a console on ebay.
Some of them are Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros, Paper Mario, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3 and some others.
I'll sweeten the deal on them a little.
If the auction reaches over $110, and the winner is a Cover project member I'll toss in some n64 games I have been sitting on to trade in. Nothing super special or anything, but More games for free is good, right?
Ok, so if a TCP member wins and its over $110, message him and tell him "Dan told me to say I'm a Cover Project member"

"$1 from each sales goes to support TheCoverProject!"
Out of curiosity. . .
What user is this?
This is me :)
I used the $1 from each sale to buy boxes and scan them to make cases. I then post them to this site. Since i can't directly "pay" anyone, i think thats the best way. I am currently busy making some Game Boy covers for a customer ( i have been posting them in the CD case section since they are using my poly cases). Once that's done i will get some boxes to scan.
-
I just received an listing policy violation from ebay for a UGC listing of a Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Custom case.
Since ebay has been allowing these cases since, at least, 2008, i am assuming this is another seller that is upset that we are selling the cases for almost half of what others are.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
-
So you are a legal seller, ask TCP admins to sell them and you are giving back scans of boxes and covers to "pay" TCP, but you are the one in violation.
nice one Ebay lol
Definitely i think is other seller trying to get you out of the business. Don't know if is a good idea letting ebay know that you have been authorize by the creator of the cover to sell them.

Sounds like it. I am just going the route of stating that these have been for sale on eBay since at least 2008 and there are 10's of thousands of active and completed listings.
Unless Nintendo is finally cracking down on this. Which doesn't make any sense to do as, if nothing else, adds interest for their products.
I will let you know what happens.
-

Because Nintendo is really a logically thinking company. Just look at what reason they gave for the new Smash Bros. not having a story mode.
-
Actually it appears the listing was flagged due to me ONLY using a stock 3D picture of the complete case. eBay is apparently flagging it because customers might think its an original and not a replica case.

Ebay is so ridiculous lately. I've been looking for some Genesis games, and all I see are overpriced buy-it-now listings. Most of the asking prices are double what the most recent ACTUAL SALES prices are. One game I searched had 35 listings - EVERY ONE was a buy-it-now. Not a single auction. Another game had over 20 listings without a single one open for bidding.
What are these sellers thinking? "Hmm, the last ten copies of this game sold for $15-$20. I'll ask $40".
I'm not looking for a steal - those are few and far between. I just want to pay around the average value of the game.
I've found some decent lots lately - that seems to be the only way to get anything for a decent price. I can usually sell the ones I don't need to offset the cost of the others.
I liked Ebay better when they charged listing fees for video games. That way, people couldn't just endlessly clog up the site with their overpriced stuff.

As far as i know ebay still charges a listing fee, but for stores its only, like 5 cents.

The game with the 35 buy-it-now's and no auctions is Bio-hazard Battle. It usually sells for $5 loose and around $10 complete. I like to buy complete in box games - especially lower priced ones like this. It doesn't make sense to me to buy a loose cartridge when complete copies are just a few dollars more. Plus, there's no U.S. Genesis cover on the site for me to print.

You should be able to get it loose on ebay for $7. Complete its about $35 normally. I did a quick search and their are plenty available in the $7 range.

That game goes for next to nothing around here. Prolly grab a copy for $2.50 or less (paid a buck for my copy like 6 months ago).

What a coincidence! I actually checked out that same product on eBay today. I'm looking for replacement shell myself. How close to original are those ones?

Got one of those shells myself a while back. They're pretty good quality. Not far off from the originals at all. The biggest difference I noticed was that one of the screws didn't quite line up 100% perfectly when installing the shell. It was pretty darn close, but was a bit tough to screw in in that spot. Other than that, they feel really sturdy. Not cheap and flimsy. Mine had an ever so slight "rougher" texture to it than the original SP shell, but that could have just been from the original being handled a bunch over the years.
-
As I just ordered a few hours ago the only thing I can say is this is by far the most complete shell set I've seen.
I've got some cheapies sitting here from years ago (like $3 each clearanced on DX) and they don't have screws, or the Nintendo badge for the top lid, or even a piece of the hinge shell. They'd only work if you have that color SP and you reused a lot of the parts off your old shell.

Thanks for the link. Let me know about the quality of it once you receive it. :)

Here is a cheep $35 CIB Super Mario World. So tempted by this but I should not buy this just for the box, no matter what the compulsive collector in me is saying, I have the game and manual. I would feel better if it went to a loving home and not a flipper.
Still a good buy for anyone who wants it.

Just an update one this. Just received them and used the black shell and they are some of the best shells I've seen.
They feel sturdy and looks/feels nearly identical to the OEM shell.
The new speaker also sounds identical. (I did a side by side with an OEM + same game)
There was one screw that didn't line up quite right, but it was one of the 3 that attaches the main board inside and has no effect on anything. It also included new hinge mechanisms and you usually have to take those out of the old shell.
Also the included tri-wing screw driver(s) are better than average.

ah shoot, I got mixed up in the links, sorry fellas. :-X It's probably gone by now anyways.
Edit: A good part of the box was kind of squished making it quite appealing, that's why I didn't buy it so meh.

I liked the unpainted parts on his NES Zelda one.
It made me want to cry -- it also briefly made me want to throw a pile of cash at Wiggy and a NES and N64 and say "make me a true zelda inspired custom painted console!"

I know you hate krylon fusion wiggy, but I've gotten nice results with it. =P
On the other hand, my c*ck could finger paint a better console.
-
I know you hate krylon fusion wiggy, but I've gotten nice results with it. =P
Agreed... I've gotten pretty good results with Krylon Fusion as well. I'd certainly suggest higher quality if one had the means and ability to use it, but for the budget conscious, it's not terrible. At least not in my experience (though it is admittedly temperamental and can go bad real quick in poor weather conditions). That said, I've done a couple dozen custom consoles myself and (not to toot my own horn) they were miles better (and cheaper) than this guy's work. Definitely not Wiggy level awesome, but still pretty decent I think.
I don't want to knock the guy too hard 'cause maybe he's fibbing a bit about his experience and is still learning techniques and such, but I find it somewhat shocking that he's actually sold a couple of his custom systems (according to his recently completed eBay listings). He seems to be seeking top quality level prices for bottom quality level work. But hey, apparently that appeals to someone at least.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to diss Fusion so much as call out his "highest quality" comment. I mean, look at that megaman NES controller overlay. It's a mess.
My biggest issues with fusion are A) it doesn't bond to very many plastics at all, contrary to what the label says, and B) you can't use a primer with it, so you'll need like 10 coats if you want to paint a black console white or any lighter color, effectively turning your console into a giant, doughy looking mess. It has its uses, they're just VERY limited in my opinion.

Agreed to most of that. There's no way I could have gotten a lighter color.
I couldn't force it to chip though (was checking durability in unseen areas)
but I waited the 7 days for full cure before reassembly. (2 coats Krylon, 2 coats clear)

Oh My F^%&^ing God, is this guy for real lol. he ruin those consoles, my 4 year nephew can make a better paint work on those consoles.
ohh and the controllers are pain in the ... to think of a custom design........... "Ohhh, this stickers looks great on those controller with some B F D stickers too, this is a custom design so i will sell them for 149 dollars with a painted N64 with some stickers" for one of those with that kind of bad painting i will probably pay 1.50 and im paying a lot of money for tha sh&^*^t lol
Nes megaman: i won't say anything, just that make me cry and lough at the same time, 400 dollars for that sh^&*. some idiot would buy that but for that price you can buy a Wii U or even preorder a PS4
I have an old broken Nes some where in my house, i will search to give it to my nephew to see if he can make a custom design with crayons and i will sell it for 400 dollars, at the end it would result much better looking than those hi is selling :P
Edit: Wrong names :P
@Snesguy: that one looks great, like your work, you took everything apart to paint. excellent work

No worries. I'd actually agree with you on all of that. Like I said, I'd definitely use higher quality if one could afford it. I'd put fusion in the middle of the pack as far as quality goes, certainly not the top. Seems to work great on most Nintendo consoles, but doesn't bond well at all to Sega Genesis systems.
I have really come to hate the Fusion clear coat though. IMO that stuff is pretty much crap.
Totally agree... That Mega Man controller overlay made me cry a little bit. NES and Mega Man deserve better.

Quoted because that was a key issue for me. Can't rush the stuff or it gets messy. Tis true. It's hard to chip once it's cured properly. Pretty much have to try to damage it.
I Like that N64 you did. Nice work.
If anyone's interested, you can check out a most of the custom systems I've done here (all using Fusion paint, vinyl decals, and plenty of patience)...
http://s817.photobucket.com/user/AGQuazimoto/library/Customs
Ended up selling all of those (mostly on eBay). Was getting between $85 and $100 per console set pretty regularly. Max was the yellow Metroid NES, which sold for $150 due to a bidding war near the end. Seems my customers were all pretty happy with the results and the prices. Boggles my mind that this other guy can think his warrant so much.

Not sure if its against their TOS. I know it is for Amazon sellers. You can probably just email them from your account and they can take care of it. I am sure they don't want sellers spamming their customers. But it also might be malware on your PC.

eBay keeps changing around everything, it seems it won't let me just email them, it only gives me the option to call or have them call me.
Anyway, I received at least 5 emails in regards to that purchase from 3rd parties. Fucking ridiculous

His auction violates eBay TOS actually. He blatantly says that he wants to sell it outside of ebay and that he refuses to pay their fee for a reserve auction. I imagine that auction won't be up for long before it gets shut down.
How much of a douche are you by being too cheap to pay a $20 fee when selling something for $1,800? It costs money to sell on ebay. Why is that such a problem for some people?

Do it!!!!!!!!1
edit: after looking at the auction on my computer, it appears that it's from Timewalk, in which case it coulde very well be "new", since they use their own boards and I believe cart shells. But the funny part is this:

Made a several purchases from china on the 29th. The next day....
http://announcements.ebay.com/2013/09/changes-to-hong-kong-mail-regulations-may-cause-delayed-shipments/?_trksid=p3984.m2301.l3955 (http://announcements.ebay.com/2013/09/changes-to-hong-kong-mail-regulations-may-cause-delayed-shipments/?_trksid=p3984.m2301.l3955)
Changes to Hong Kong mail regulations may cause delayed shipments
Recently the Hong Kong Post announced that all items shipping by air are now subject to x-ray screening for regulated materials. This additional screening may cause delayed shipment due to no fault of the seller, so if you purchased an item from a seller in Hong Kong, please allow extra time for delivery—at least a week more than the seller’s stated delivery time.
Also note that items containing the regulated materials are being returned to sellers and not delivered. These items may include:
Items with lithium batteries such as video cameras, walkie talkies/2-way radios, GPS devices, radio-controlled toys, Bluetooth headsets, smartphones/mobiles, laptop computers, shavers, power drills, tablets and portable DVD players
Liquid beauty products, including fragrances, colognes, lotions, and toner
Items with “eliquids” such as electronic cigarettes and lighters

Last time my purchases were in the US in 3 days. (sat in customs for a few days after)
Yea, they haven't left china yet. This may take a while.
One of the orders was lithium coin cell batteries. Hope they make it threw. -_-

So I'm asking a bit of advice:
I wanted to get a toploader NES after I bought a huge CL lot of NES games. The Toaster is a pain to get started, and my big hands makes it hard to get the carts out, or in.
I was shopping around, saw someone selling pre-modded AV systems, so I was adding money to PayPal to get that. Then I saw this lot, Cheeper than the AV lot, and a few games I wanted, and some to resell.
The money did not clear yet so I asked if I could buy it and pay when it cleared. They were ok. I bought it, and after a few days (Sat, Sun, Mon (Holiday)) it cleared and I paid. That was the 15th. I PMed saying I paid, money was removed from my PP, but I have not gotten a response back, nor was the thing shipped. The last message I got was the 11th, the day I bought it, but not paid. I'll give them more time, maybe by Monday, Maybe they cant work during the week, and they gave me time. But they listed stuff recently, after my payment.
To the Point:
If I bought something on eBay, and the seller never ships it or contacts me afterward, What should I do to get a refund?
-
Best to just be patient at this point... Some sellers forget to upload tracking info they ship an item (gets done automatically if using eBay's shipping labels, but sellers have to do it manually if they pay/print postage elsewhere). I've had plenty of things over the years get sent and arrive safely before the seller even marks them as shipped.
I also wouldn't worry about the lack of communication from the seller just yet. If a seller is busy, they may not get time to rely to e-mails. Is kinda odd that they'd have time to list new things, but can't take a few minutes to reply. Then again, it's also possible that those listings were written up a while ago and set to start on at a certain time.
Just give it some time and see what happens for now. If you don't get a reply and don't receive your stuff for a couple weeks, go through eBay's official channels to file a claim. Should be a link to the right of the item listed in your Purchase History section of you eBay account. The process can take a little while to go through and get your money back, but it's pretty straight-forward and easy to do. Despite the horror stories that are floating around online, a buyer is pretty protected on eBay. I've had my fair share of deadbeat sellers, but have never had any real trouble getting refunded through eBay's claim filing process.
-
It's been 3 days? Have you tried messaging them about it? If you're not getting any responses from them it might be time to head on over to the eBay Resolution Center (http://resolutioncenter.ebay.com/). Try giving this a read too. (http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/item-not-received.html)
-
I've had 5 messages back between him around 10-11th.
I've had a seller forget to post shipping info, and get it just fine, but he seems a bit to experienced to forget that, he has around 200 sells and is "Top rated". I'll hold out for now, Seeing how there is no cap on how long you can hold the claim.
The estimated time of delivery is "Wednesday, Oct 23, 2013 - Thursday, Oct 31, 2013"
Update:
"Sorry for the delay. Due to the weekend etc it will have to be shipped Monday. This would still be in the slotted 5 day shipping time. Thank you for your patience. V/r stan"

The seller that turn that n64 in to a lamp seems to love to destroy old consoles even nes rob. :'(
-
How people can do that? Is incedible how they think something is not valuable and damage it to "make it valuable". That hurts :'(
-
The only thing crazier than making that crap is the thought of some weirdo paying good money to wear a cartridge on their belt or have a lamp made of dead console carcass.
Gee wiz, the seller wants a LOT for that custom trash.
-
I can't decide. On one hand the R.O.B lamp does look pretty cool but on the other its such a shame.

I would so buy (or more likely make) a ROB lamp. Lord knows he isn't good for anything else, so may as well make something useful outta him :P
edit: just looked up prices. Had no idea that ROB was worth anything at all. You could barely throw them away ten years ago. It amazes me when stuff that is utterly useless becomes valuable just because of its perceived rarity. No lamp for me any time soon.

It was made by HORI who are one of the best third party controller manufacturers. As you can see, it's a Gamecube controller shaped like an SNES controller (although it has a bit more handle-age in the back (http://www.the-nextlevel.com/features/hardware/hori-digital-controller/)).
However, since it stuck with the GCN's face button layout, with the giant A and tiny everything else, it's still not ideal for a lot of uses (ie other retro or retro-ish releases on the GCN) it's okay for the Gameboy Player (since A and B are all you have to worry about), though, and certainly a step up over the regular GCN controller.
Unfortunately most adapters to use other controllers that might be ideal (SNES, PS2, Wii Classic Controller Pro, etc) with the GCN either don't work with the Gameboy Player (it won't detect any button input from them) or have some less than ideal mappings (SNES controller's select mapped to Z because that's how the Wii VC maps it instead of X/Y like on the GB Player).
Honestly, I'd recommend just getting a GCN/GBA link cable and using an (original) GBA.

This, exactly. There is literally no more comfortable way to use the Game Boy Player, since the original GBA was so nicely-proportioned for hands of (almost) all sizes. Plus the lack of a backlight will not be a problem if you're using the GBP anyway.

Sadly, I had one of these :(
Even sadder, I only paid $200 for it.
Even sadder still, I could have purchased 10 of them at that price, but didn't think it was worth it at the time.

The serial number on the bottom of the N64 looks like this kit use to belong to Crystal Dynamics. That kit literally could have been used during the development of Gex. Fun thought! ;)
-
Maybe someone could buy this and actually make earthbound 64.
-
There's a small, but very intense 64DD community. The problem is that there are so few DD machines out there and there is currently no way to reproduce retail games. So even the couple of games that have surfaced are only playable using a dev unit :(

Crazy. Pretty wide range of recent selling prices too. As low as $20, high as $55. I didn't realize this game was in such demand - the MSRP is only $20. Must be sold out everywhere and people are scrambling to get it for Christmas.

Isn't Minecraft digital only? Or did they make retail versions while I wasn't looking?

Retail. Gamestop has it used in stock online. Out of stock new online, but there are more that 10 stores within 25 miles from me with it new. Dunno why people are paying 3X+ the 19.99 MSRP

They lowered that Minecraft price. When I posted it it was somewhere around $150. Still, that $48 price tag is a bit steep. Seller has no idea of value or thinks others are idiots.

Here's a classic eBay seller faux pas. I win this item, and get a killer deal (it's brand new).
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/null_zps5841019b.png)
Seller decides he doesn't like the fact that it sold for so little, and sends me a "cancel transaction request" claiming that the item was "sold to another buyer". Nope. Ship it or get reported.
-
hope you get that wiggy!
another one is where they start the auction at 0.99p with a high reserve, and the thing doesnt sell because it only gets 3 or 4 bids, if you really wanna sell it just do a buy it now at your preferred price!
-
what counts is what ebay say and clearly said that you won that item and is already paid so is like you say Ship it or get reported. is not true that someone else bought that if ebay clearly say that you win it
-
For that price I would rock the pink. :D

Seriously. That's what I do. Reserve auctions put people off.

I'm pretty sure he's gonna back out no matter what, so, like I said, he'll just get negative feedback and reported to eBay. Of course the guy is outside the US and has 2 feedback. Yippee :(
For that price I would rock the pink. :D
That's not even the most pink model that they made. Ask the Doc, he'll tell ya. He helped me to obtain all of the EU only micro colors :)
Honestly, this is actually my least favorite color. It's really icky in person, unlike the light metallic blue one that is identical in terms of color saturation and finish. I already have one, but for the price, I couldn't say no. Figured I'd add this brand new one into my collection and mod my other one for the business and sell it ;D

i dont think megadrive/genesis games came factory sealed like that...?
-
Might be real as the actual case doesn't seem to have hang tab like other games, which means that the case might have been designed to be sealed.
-
Pretty sure that's real. I ran into a few of those EA games that were sealed at a flea market not too long ago (nothing good). Had the same style shrink wrap and the same stick on hang tab (as opposed to being molded on the case itself).
-
I used to work at Blockbuster a long time ago and we shrink wrapped our used games and VHS movies like that. I would be skeptical because of the one side of the plastic that does not have a seam. That's exactly how our machines did it. Most new games I have seen either have a seam on all four sides, only two or one on the back.
-
It looks real to me. Although it's been a long time since I've opened a new Genesis game, the bottom looks exactly like what I remember.
Genesis games were sealed with a thicker cellophane than today's games come with.
I also used to work at Blockbuster, and I remember that the seam from our machine went completely across - it didn't end before the corner like the game in the picture.
-
Real!

I won a complete in box copy of Sonic & Knuckles for $0.99 + $4 shipping. I paid right away, but it was never shipped, nor did he reply to my inquiries. After two weeks I had to file an "item not received" report. It still took him another week to give me my money back.

But of course we can be dicks and buy them and then claim no show, or if sent signed for trash the things and claim that they came broken and if they want return sent it by the most expensive way as they have to pay the return if the item arrives broken.

I work part time at Gamestop, and I have seen new 3DS & Xbox 360 games with "heat sealed" wrapping as well as with the "Y" fold wrapping. I see the heat sealed wrapping more and more lately.
Each uses a slightly different type of cellophane as well. The Y fold cellophane is very crinkly, while the heat sealed plastic is more like Saran wrap.
The games that I've noticed this on are brand new releases, so it's not like they are older "gutted" games that have been re-wrapped and sent to us.
-
I've bought a couple of 3DS games that had heat sealed wrapping.

Funny how he has lazily added label crappily and it is wrinkled which makes it "factory defect" and more rare.
I have better copy of that game.
On the other hand again he is not saying made by which factory and that might really be the only crappily made copy. ;D

Actually it's the same game fully in English.
US carts were done by switching the shell of Japanese game to US shell.

Are you sure? Weren't the sprites for Poison and Roxy switched for Billy and Sid? Plus other censoring.

Interesting that the sfam version is uncensored. Kind of makes me want that version more than the more expensive snes one.

Jap version is playable on US console with minimal super easy modification to the console, or by putting the JAP cart's circuit board into a US shell.

Or just snap the tabs which block the JP carts from fitting an then ALL JP carts will fit ;)

They got a new stock of these gameboy color clones, I ordered 2 a while back from the old stock, and I think they are wonderful! The screen is a tad wider and lower, so the image looks a tiny bit stretched, but the backlight is glorious, and it's just as comfortable to hold and play on as the original GBC. I'd buy em again without thinking twice.
Here's a picture of mine: clicky (http://i.imgur.com/v8h7H9B.jpg)

I have to disagree with ya. I think those things are terrible. The audio is broken (only 1 channel comes through the mono speaker instead of both channels coming through one speaker), the D-pad is miserable, and of course the improper resolution LCD. I bought one to hack and slash, but then ended up tossing it in a box so I could forget about it. Total turd IMO :(

Yeah looking at those don't raise confidence.

Those repro carts look a lot nicer then the original one listed on ebay and you can host your own personal Nintendo world championship.
I mean, I understand that it's just one of 116 in the world and this is probably the only copy for sale right now, but it would bother me if I paid $55k+ for a game and the label was like that

I knew that it couldn't be true that game at that price, but I didn't know that there were 1000 pf copies of that game
-
1K+ produced, which means little to nothing at this point. Nobody knows how many of those actually made it into the hands of gamers.
So, I'm super surprised that it didn't sell for 100k, NOT. He's either gonna be relisting it (most likely) or sending a zillion "2nd chance offers" until the price gets down to around 5k before someone bites, which is prolly lower than he'd take for it. Fucking eBay ad it's shitty shill bidders.

Purchased 2 auctions full of portables from seller "webwebo", who I've purchased from many times. Refused to combine shipping citing that "it's too much" (Japanese seller with so-so English). Sorta irked me since he normally combines without me even having to ask. No biggie. I pay, he ships, they arrive. Only problem? He charged me $34 for shipping and his actual postage cost was $13. Now I inderstand handling fees, but $21 is insane. He claims that he pays an "agent" to ship for him and he isn't even aware of actual shipping costs for all of his sales. Fucking bullshit.
He's lost a customer for life.
Little does he know that I only leave feedback about once a month, and I have about 6 transactions with him from the last moth or so for which I have not left feedback. I'm sure he'll appreciate his well earned 6 negative feedbacks.

I feel for ya Wiggy! I have the same problem with about 1/2 my MVS purchases. So many people list as being overseas, charge 20$ for shipping then I get a package with a return address from Indiana.

Oh the perks of dealing with strangers on the internet. I can't even tell you how many times something like this has happened to me over the course of my internet experience.

Pisses me off so bad because I buy a lot from the guy, or at least I did. Oh well. Ended up leaving 4 negs. Two of the transactions were too old to leave feedback on (I tend to not bother with feedback for sellers that have already received + from me since it doesn't add to their total count).

On a Paper MArio listing on eBay
"This is absolutely insane. Not only will you get Paper Mario WITH THE BOX (wear to box and game cart label as shown in picture), you're also going to get some ridiculously awesome bonuses that I picked ESPECIALLY for you since I know only a true Nintendo fan would be buying N64 games on ebay in 2014 for $50+.
First of all, you're going to get your VERY OWN copy of Tetris for the original gameboy. This was the very first game to be released for Nintendos very first handheld, and as you know is exceedingly rare.
Second, you'll be getting an awesome preorder coin that came with Super Mario Galaxy. Approximate cash value: $10,000,000 mushroom kingdom dollars."

Exceedingly rare, better give it away for free.

This flappy bird crap is BS. I saw my little sister on the phone the other day and asked her what she was doing. Her response was "Im playing the greatest video game ever!" Come to find out you just tap on the screen over and over. What's wrong with this generation? Kids nowadays need to find a Genesis or NES and play some real video games.

Yeah its the difficulty that throws off kids today, and to think most of us can beat the first level in SMB in our sleep. They are just really use to unlimited lives and respawns and having no consequences when you die in a game. Not too long ago I had my 14 year old cousin play Link to the Past on the SNES and he claimed it was the most boring video game ever (I nearly hit him! jk)

i have 5 years old twins nephew, and they have a wii, they like to play mario kart wii, carnival games and pilot wings. the other day they told me that they would like to play Mario galaxy, i told them that the game is hard to play for them, and they still wanted to play it, for my surprice they did well in the firts level for 5 year old boys

Now thats what I like to see. Mario galaxy is one of the best mario games ever, and the fact that kids enjoy it great. We need more kids to play mario games instead of crap games like angry bird and flappy bird

Your right on that part. Super Mario 64 set the bar so high that every Mario game since then has paled in comparison. If they would just do a true sequel to Mario 64 using traditional controls and HD visuals that is all I need this generation! Super Mario Land 3D was superb btw

Haters gonna hate.
That's why some games sell millions of copies right, because they suck and you hate them? So tired of "gamers" with a stick up their ass. They're like hipsters, loving all the niche games but hating anything that lots of other people love.
I don't care for a lot of games out there, but I wouldn't say that they suck are aren't any good just because I don't like them.

Its not that I'm hating. I'm not hating on those games, they just aren't for me. I've sat down and tried to genuinely give those games a chance but it just doesn't do it for me. I know why they are successful and can see how people can get addicted to it. I am just so use to how games have always been prior to the smartphone era. I play all types of games, from RPGs to shooters to platformers and I don't discriminate by genre, even mobile games. But I just want more to playing games than simple touch gestures. And maybe I went too far to say that they are crap cause I've had momentary fun with angry birds once in a while. I know its not for everyone but that's just how I feel.

If I were super rich I'd get a big, gold chain Mr. T necklace to hang this cart from to show the world my financial status. Who needs a rolex when you've got this kind of bling

I do so love that promo cart and munch box, but yeah, the price is plain silly.
JUST A HEAD's UP, Nintendoage is issuing a warning regarding this auction and the apparent "NES Zelda Test Cart":
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261402485939#ht_1295wt_922 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/261402485939#ht_1295wt_922)
-
What's the warning? Is the cart not legit? I know those LoZ test carts are supposed to be rare.
Edit: Cart is fake, found the link- http://nintendoage.com/forum/categories.cfm?catid=3

According to the ninendoage forum, this copy of Little Samson listed on ebay is fake.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Little-Samson-Nintendo-1992-GREAT-CONDITION-/131122158193?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
I don't see a lot of the problems they're pointing out. I mean, I expected to immediately be able to tell it was fake after reading others' comments on the cart and how obviously counterfeit it is, but when I clicked the listing and looked at the pictures, it looked passable. I guess the fact that it's 5 screw should be a dead giveaway.
Can you tell? Apparently, a lot of fakes have been up for sale lately :-\
-
You bastered! I discovered this Little Samson auction minutes after it was posted. I've been the high bidder all day. Now, I have to compete with my own brother on it! It looked legit to me, that's why I bid on it.
-
Yeah, it looked real to me too. This has me questioning everything now. I took apart a couple of my rare games and the green circuit boards inside the cart say Nintendo on them. Are there other things to look for? Not really looking forward to opening every single one of my games, but if that's the only sure way to know for certain I suppose I would.
I try to avoid Hong Kong, Thailand, and China while shopping online to lessen chance of getting ripped, but I know a lot of that fake junk is still floating around pretty much everywhere. It kind of sucks having to look out for this shit.
-
Repros are REALLY easy to spot if you take em apart. I can post some pics later.
-
Great, now I can start carrying around a bit tool all the time in case I need to verify a rare game I come upon. Total nerd alert ha ha!!
Edit: I was checking out some of the game collections recently posted on Nintendoage and was blown away.

Well its a good thing that you found out it was fake. I could kinda tell cause the picture of the label looked like it was fresh, and the chances of finding a like new Little Samson nowadays are extremely rare.

What is this about???
Megaman N64 with ESRP Rating of L
Came from the UK? We have Pegi rating system but before that was film classification board. Any ideas peeps.
Could the rest of the E been whited out or rubbed off maybe?

this game may be worth alot more than what im selling it for i dont know. but the best im going to do is $50.00 pluse free shipping. its in mint condition. works and tested. i found that it was worth $250.00 but on here i dont think anyone has seen this type of mega man game, so this might just be the best buy in the mega man. and playing the game is all in English so dont think its a bad thing if you just want it to play.... good luck...........if this game is not everything im saying is true, ill give full refund and pay shipping back and full refund, ive never seen one like this i dont know what it is worth, but im not telling tells about what i got....... the info on it may not be correct but i couldnt find anything on it, do your search, you think its worth it it, buy it. i would think its worth more..........but what ever
I have even checked http://www.nesworld.com/n64releaselist.php (http://www.nesworld.com/n64releaselist.php) Could it be legit?
** Answered my own question ** Its from Brazil.
Here is another:

Brazil is the only country I know that has/had L ratings. It was for kids, so it would probably seem right for MM64.
Also if he's saying it plays on his stock NTSC 64, it's not from a PAL territory.

I thinks many here have said it to be one very good game.
US versiob sells for big bucks IIUC.

Oh I like Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. It just looks different than the regular Super Fam version so I was wondering if this is a bootleg and if so if it's ok or poor quality. It's such an expensive game for snes so this seems kind of cheap

Now that you mention:
That is fake cart.
Description says that it fits US and JAP SNES which means that the cart shell is one of those snap-on fake ones.
Whited out "screw holes" point to that too as real cart would have screws there but on the snap-on on fake there is just gray plastic.
So the cart is bootleg.
-
I have ordered from the seller before and they are Bootleg , its the super famicom version they work on snes console, if you mind having a bootleg go for it. I still want to get a original cart but unless i get a deal on one i wont pay current retail price maybe i'll get lucky and find one in the wild.. ;)

Good to know, thanks.

No, what i ment was that they look as the original but they aren't :P
-
I've used one or two of these before :P ;)
The quality of the shell itself is decent. The mold is actually of a better design as there are virtually no sinkmarks for the standoffs and screw bosses when compared to the original shells. The downside is that the plastic is far more brittle and you'll need to be very careful when screwing it together for the first time as the screw bosses don't come tapped, the screw will tap the hole the first time you use it. The other issue is the R/L buttons and bumpers. The plastic is of a noticeably lesser quality and there's no texture like the original parts. They're sort of shiny.
Despite the short comings, I would very much so recommend them still. You can use original R/L buttons and bumpers with a little trimming here and there if the new parts bother you at all. I can also post pics of the differences if you'd like.

I'm in Australia and this bundle popped up. How much would you American's say this lot is worth? Wouldn't mind that legend of mana.
-
Not sure whats in that stack off to the side, but just from what I see, Id pay 100-120 for everything, assuming it was complete etc. Tad less than full market value but if you pay that your gonna have a bad time lol.
-
Besides castlevania, the only other game I can see worth some value in the stack to the side is einhander and the point blank games. It's a shame since I love the PAL versions style a lot more, but some of those games go for around 200 bucks, especially symphony of the night.
-

Um, R-Type Delta is worth about 40-50, Alundra 30-40, and BOF 3 about 35-40. I'm guessing you guys don't do a lot of PS1 collecting, eh? :P
Also, where are you seeing Einhander and the Point Blank titles? ???

It's off to the side in another picture. I collect PAL ps1, but just wasn't too sure on the NTSC prices. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. Maybe drop about 120-140 on it or so. Seems to be a sweet bundle.
-
Shit, if you don't, then send me a link. That stack of stuff is a steal at $140

I already have all these games, and probably to a fault been some time since I have bought them so my prices are probably way off, either way I always shot for never paying more than 60% of current market value.

Yeah, same here (own most of them, at least the one's I'd want), but still, at just over 100 bucks you'd be getting a steal. That has resale all over it :)
-
I recently got Vagrant Story, BoF 3 and 4 for ps1 in PAL. But I reckon I'll definitely drop the cash onto it :D thanks guys. I'll be sure to post more pictures if I win it.
-
I wouldn't think twice about it if that lot was 100, even 150 or 175. a lot of those games are going for a pretty good amount of eBay
-
Yeah, good deal . Linky to my PS1 games, been at least a year since I bought any ps1 games, possibly even longer
http://connect.collectorz.com/users/madrocsz/games/view?filterPlatform=35
-
So that lot I was talking about has 6 hours to go and it's hit 255 dollars. I really thought I was on a cracker of a deal :( Never mind, I guess I can always emulate or create my own versions of ntsc games.

I wouldnt give this guy very much, If it was me i'd sell these as replacement discs for people that have lost one. Maybe get the really scratched up ones resurfaced.
A friend back in high school dropped one of his FF7 discs and it cracked. So I had to lone him mine till he got to the next disc.
After giving him a rash of shit about it.

anyone watch ebay auctions very often?
I am always hunting for SNES CIB collections to try to complete my raw scan collection and I can not believe what I see with these auctions. I just watched a guy sell his SNES collection today. So far, the guy has made over 1,000 euro with about 10 games (10 times what he would've paid retail.) I am stunned at some of the prices because the games themselves are stupid as far as i'm concerned. I like Spider-Man, for example, since my childhood. I collected Spider-Man items. I've played Separation Anxiety and I think it's a stupid game. I'd rather play Donkey Kong Country. But I've seen this CIB sell for 309euro today :o Doh! Damn Batman and Robin sold for over 200 euro and Spawn sold for over 200. Unbelievable. I know why I have no scans of these games.
I am beginning to realize that, unless someone will scan some of these boxes/manuals, i'll never get scans of these games. I am stunned. I watch these auctions and the prices jump by 20-50euro in the last seconds of the auction. Entertaining, yes, but disappointing too. I'd like to get some of these games to scan. son-of-a-batch. I guess that I better find a game buying job if I want to buy some of these snes games.

is it me or does this Little Samson seem a little...fake?
-
How come?
Nothing looks fake in those pictures. ???
-
Although it doesn't look at face at first glance, if you look closely, it seems as if the seal of approval is a bit darker than normal. Again, i don't know if it's fake or i can't even look at rare and expensive games without thinking they're fake (i'm looking at you Earthbound). Little Samson is also a controversy of being pirated.
-
Well maybe.
But if paid with Paypal you get your money back.
-
Unless the seller decides to bail after it is sold.

Unless the seller decides to bail after it is sold.
In that case PayPal loses money, buyer always gets refund if he can prove it's fake (somewhat easy to prove if you open the cart).
-
okay. well i hope i don't end up with a fake.
-
Think positive.
You either get real cart or free fake one.
-
I was worried about an ebay purchase too at one time. I did a little investigating because the box in the photo appeared to be fake. I realized that a lot of people use smart phones / iphones to make photos. Certain photos made with phones can make boxes and labels look fake for some reason. I've looked at the photo but it looks like a phone was used to make the photo - in my opinion.
-
I had read somewhere that someone purchases this game. The listing didn't say it was a repro...so it was purchase and the buyer found out it was a repro and filed with ebay and paypal and lost because the seller had in his description that he purchased it from a yard sale. I wish I could remember which website this was on
-
According to these two, fake Little Samson carts have been popping up on Ebay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENLKgLctjh8
-
Seriously, why do people do that? Yeah, i can understand if someone does that so they can play it on a cart without spending too much on it. But to make one and sell it for a profit, how greedy can some people get? It just annoys me when people sell faked merchandise to make a quick buck. I, myself, can't even look at a rare mint game without it believing it is fake.

wow, that's rare normally paypal gives reason to the buyer with stupid arguments (i lost nearlly 150euro on various sales on ebay due paypal. The buyer argument that he didn't make the bid after receive the package or item was not as described..). You can find thousands of cases like that on google

this is the main reason I haven't purchased bubble bobble 2

he get the money back finally. The last message of the victim:
Ok, some good news finally! After talking with ebay customer support the previous night and being told that they would not make a final decision just yet, I called back last night since I had not heard back. From what I was told, the previous rep closed out the case in the seller's favor (again, despite telling me that they would not make a decision that night and would also let me know the next day what the decision was...scumbags) but I actually had a nice conversation with another ebay rep last night named Tina who was able to help me. I have no idea why they finally reversed course after all of this, but regardless they did right by me and refunded my money. I am SO glad this ordeal is over. Thanks to all who helped me. I will not be buying games off ebay for a while...maybe after I lick my wounds I will check again but be more cautious this time for sure.
On my experience, paypal is always on the buyer side. You can use any excuse and paypal freeze the seller's account until the resolution.. of course if the seller is a scammer nice that they do this, but i lost precious games due this (and i can't do anything because the spanish laws)..

that must have been an update since I had read it the last time

I'm glad he got his money back, but the way eBay handled this pisses me off to no end.

This isn't really true. But they DO put an immediate hold on the funds from that particular transaction while it's being resolved. PayPal does side with the buyer about 99% of the time though, that is quite true. It's a headache when, as a seller, you've done all you can and the buyer is technically at fault :(

Bad english by my side (Spanish speaker here ^^u), i wanted to say that freeze the payment. What i hate of paypal it's the "investigate proccess" that they made (when i give to this "specialist" enough evidence that the buyer it's lying).
And i don't know in other countries but in Spain if you are a store and do a full refund to the buyer (because the buyer want to cancel the order, etc) ... paypal charges you with 0,20 or 0,50€ (i don't remember well this quantity) making you lose money -_-
-
There's no fee here, but you do lose money on the shipping. Whatever you paid for shipping goes back to the buyer, which is SUPER annoying when it's their fault and PayPal sides with them.

I don't mind the repro sellers as long as you state its a repro.
As for the UGC. This seller does make the cuts for NES games but the paper is all wrong. He should be using Legal Paper and then cut to size. However, $9 is a bit much for a case where the artwork is most likely from this site. In all fairness, I sell the cases too but i only charge $6 shipped. I also try and do my best to support the site as well. Although i have been away for a while.

Someone already mentioned it, but it looks like he does cut out the inside tabs for NES games. However, I agree that he is overcharging considering the insert doesn't fit.
In his defense, I like the idea of inside artwork. I never even thought about that. My printer even prints double sided...................getting ideas............

A lot of current printers should support this.
I use a Canon Pixma MG5520 that has support for double-sided printing and my Epson Artisan 837 that I had prior to this one also had double sided printing.

Doing a quick google search looks like it can easily be fixed by replacing a few capacitors, but I imagine that mileage may very and this would depend on your level of comfort with soldering.

I had the exact same problem with my turbo duo. I sent it out to a guy who does console modding and he did a capacitor swap on it and it fixed the problem. apparently the turbo duos are notorious for having leaking capacitors that affect only the audio. but be careful when buying it cause if has been leaking for too long it could leak onto the main circuit board and end up permanently damaging it.

I hope its nothing like replacing the capacitors on a game gear. Some of those are in hard to solder locations. real cramped and right against other parts, that you most likely end up melting by mistake.
As far as telling how much the board damage goes. It would be hard to tell in an ebay auction.
-
Another common issue with the Duos is the plug gets bad too, so you have to wiggle it a bit to get audio. Never mind all the CD drive issues that crop up. It's a first-gen CD-Rom, so it's not like they knew what they were doing.
-
There are some youtube walk thoughts on the repairs, but I think I am going to try and wait and find one that the seller states is in good working order.

I just picked up on eBay a really good deal. I found a GameCube with gameboy player and disk 3 wired controllers and a wave bird fully intact with battery cover and sensor with 1 gab game for bin 60 and 18 shipping.. I had to do a triple take to make sure I read it right. Everything works and looks in decent shape. Seeing the gameboy player with disc is around 60 so I think I got a pretty good score.

So I bought almost the entire set of Mario Kart 64 figures, minus Luigi, kinda sucks because he is my main character in that game and rarest figure, but whatever.
$215, talked down from $250, with $17 shipping, not the best deal, but a fair price, and I always wanted them.
Anyway, I had $70 in my Paypal so I went to get a Money Pak card for the first time. I buy a $180 card and go to enter the code, it requires a SSN code.
Turns out the idiot who set up my Paypal put the wrong SSD, I can see the last 2 numbers and they are wrong. They even got a pic of my card with the last 4 numbers.
I'm having it fixed but its going to take day or two. >:(
-
What the hell is a "money pak"?!
-
Preloaded debit card, like the prepaid visas.
-
This confuses and befuddles me.

"What would you like help with?"
"Money Pak."
"I'm sorry, I did not hear that."
"MON-EY PA-K"
"I'm sorry, I did not hear that."
"MONEY PAK"
"I'm sorry, I did not hear . . ."
"F@CK YOU MONEY PAK."
"I'm sending you to a representative."
They had a image of my SSN card, you can see my numbers, and someone entered the wrong SSN. I wonder who's SSN is attached to my account.
I just want my Mario toys. :'(

Paypal suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! I'd love to drop them, but so many people prefer paying with it (and I'm not gonna lie, I really prefer to use it to pay for things online as well).

I just requested a refund and did a bank transfer in shame.
Looks like I have to wait another week for my Mario figures. :(
And another 7 days for my $180 to mail in.
To be fair to Paypal, their customer service people on the phone are very helpful. The robot is annoying before you get them, but just curse at it until you get a person.
One thing though a person was saying I had to submit a picture of my SSN card, without the first 5 numbers blacked out, and I never had too. I just put in my number on the opened case and that was it, then I called and got a rep to finalize it.
The hold sound is annoying, a guy never shuts up about how sexy Paypal is. Not as bad as my locas CVS's, I had a question so I called and it was loud classical piano, blaring into my ear. It was kinda funny.
The worst thing about PayPal is the money transfer times. I understand that's how they make their money, interest, but cant I just pay a fee to speed it up?

They have been speeding up the proses here in Finlands.
If I transfered money from my Bank account to PayPal it used to be few days (up to week).
Then they introduced instant transfer that took 1 hour or so if you did the transfer between 10-20 on weekdays or 11-18 on holidays (yes worked on Christmas too)as someone had to manually do the transfer and if you had bank account in one of the main banks.
Few weeks ago that automated and now the transfer is truly instant.
I transfered money from my bank account via my bank's online service and as soon as I hit done the money was on my PayPal account.

I live in the next town over from where this is coming from. The username doesn't sound familiar. There's a small retro shop in that town, but I've never really looked at his Gameboy games so i don't know if it's him selling this questionable game.

I don't understand why Nintendo can't make a DS Player (think GameBoy Player) for the Wii U. It could play DS and 3DS games through the Wii U. The television would act as the top screen and the Wii U Controller would act as the lower screen and touchpad. I think that would be a neat idea and it would get me in the store to buy a Wii U TODAY instead of waiting another year or two for the prices to come down. I'm not familiar enough with the Wii U to know it it has any type of expansion port like the GameCube had for the GameBoy Player to hook up to. But regardless, it would be a cool idea.

I think you can actually buy a refurb wii u 32gb system for 200. i know i saw a link somewhere but sadly i didn't open it because i already own one. and the purchase is going to be worth it with mario kart 8 just around the corner that game is gonna be super sweet!

I'm not big on buying used for some of the more current gaming systems, especially when they are still available new. It just bugs me that my 30 year old 2600 works just fine and my PS3 has crapped out three times. I just feel a little safer getting something new.
It's funny though, out of the PS4, XBox One and Wii U, the Wii U has the most games that I would imediately want to buy and play. I know the PS4 and XBox One are more powerfull, and in the long run the better systems, but right now, if I had to get one, it woud be the Wii U.
-
Ps4 for me. Had the wii u since launch, and only played about 3 hrs max on it. Got games still in wrappers, but would rather play ps3 or dreamcast to be honest. That's not to say it's a bad system, just I buy too much . Lol
-
I'm interested in PS4, but I see no reason to buy one yet.
Wii U is doing good but I have not touched mine in a while, mostly because I've been busy and I don't own that many games for it. 3 currently. There are a few I'm interested in, but meh.
I loved the Wii, It has a smallish solid library, like the N64, There are still some games I want for it.
So far the new gen systems are kinda disappointing for me, Nothing really pops out to me, even on the Wii U. I love the game pad, I just wish it was used more.
The 3DS on the other hand (No pun intended) I'm loving, and I only own one game. ;D There are a lot I want to get and the street pass stuff is cool.
Vita is . . . a thing. It has stuff I think, Sony is doing a terrible job marketing it, even worse than the Wii U, I know nothing about it that would make me want one and never hear about it.

I love how people seem to just pull prices out of their asses. I didn't read the entire list, but it looks like there are around 10 NES/SNES games worth more than 30 bucks, with most of the rest falling into the $5 or less range. That lot isn't worth $5K, let alone $35K.

15 watchers right now, and it's going for $25. There's another one with just two lose Zelda carts going for the same price. Da hell... At least my 3-in-1 turbo duo CD sold for a good price.
-
You'll see in the last minute it will go up
-
I just half expect it'll glitch out and all the people watching to snipe it will miss it.
It's also not supposed to be international ship, so I've been thinking if I should relist it or let it ride. EBay's supposed to handle most of that stuff on it's own now anyways. Relisting at last moment would be suck a dick move though, even if I took a loss I think it'd be better than screwing over someone for my mistake.
-
How much is international shipping for that to Aus? I'd hell love that.
-
Cheapest I could find is $70. At 10 Lbs, there's no real cheap way to send all this.
-
Aw ouch. Yeah, I can't ever see International Shipping ever being cheap. What a bummer.
-
That sold,for 50 bucks? Wow. You really should have tried to sell that lot here first. Even with postage I'd have been interested at that price.
-
Yeah dang man... I mean nothing was crazy-rare or anything in my opinion, but it should have went for more than 50 bucks + shipping. This is why I basically never try to sell on ebay. Then again I don't sell a whole lot, period, mostly buy and my bank account hates me for that :D
-
There was too much filler in that auction. It just throws people off. I would have put all the filler stuff in its own lot, then sold the games which were worth anything either on their own, or possibly in their own small lot. The pricey shipping didn't help either. The Atari stuff shouldn't have been in the auction. Just adds weight to the package.
Anyway, this makes me laugh. It had a certificate of authenticity, but the numbnuts cracked open the slab, which makes the certificate worthless. I'm no fan of the VGA, but seriously, derp.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/271477135862
Oh shit, even better. It just sold for $5K, and the buyer randomly thinks it's worth 3x that.

-
I've had "filler" lots not sell, or go for $3-5, and I didn't want them sitting around not selling. The reason I bundled some games was to make it easier for me (I don't live "in town" so shipping is a pain), and to get rid of the junk that doesn't sell. Honestly I think two things hurt me the most, shipping, and I FORGOT TO INCLUDE NINTENDO IN THE TITLE. Default title-only searches suck.
I still have 3-4 batches to get rid off, but only one left of Nes games, and the best nes game I have currently to draw attention to it is... Simon's Quest. I think I'm going to keep it and make my first repo from it, a castlevania 2 cart with a few patches.

I am still trying to figure out how if you take a common game, say Final Fantasy on the NES, spend a few bucks to get it graded and all of a sudden its worth quadruple its going rate. Just doesn't make sense to me.......
-
VGA on a basic level only grades sealed games.
Do you grade loose video games?
NO. If your item came sealed originally, then it must be sealed to be graded. The only exception to this rule applies to certain systems and accessories which never came with tape sealing the box shut. In instances where no tape was ever present, VGA will inspect the contents and will issue a grade only if the contents appear to be complete, original, and new. For video games, the seal must be the original FACTORY SEAL, not a vintage re-seal (ex: Blockbuster, store return, etc.). For original NES games which came with a horizontal seam across the back, this seal must be present for each game to be graded.
So a VGA box has a much higher chance of being a legit sealed game than an ebay reseal, and if you plan on selling it later, you have proof from a third party that it's legit, so if someone disputes the trade, you have a pretty solid case. Honestly while they're not exactly a great company to have around, they get a lot more trash talk than they deserve.
Then they turn around and pull shit like "•Qualified Grading Scale ", where they throw most of their own rules out, that's how prototypes get graded. Not sure what they're graded on, since it's not sealed, and they do not prove it's a legit prototype.
Never mind you could crap in a box, send it to them sealed, and it's get an 80+
-
We all know how the VGA works.
They grade loose items the same as sealed; based on their condition. Of course they'll slab prototypes, and NWC carts, and rare loose items, etc. I would if it were my business. It's a great way to spread the word about the company, especially when those high profile, slabbed game auctions go up. I'm not really a fan of the what they do, as it's an excuse for sellers to try selling common games for 3, 4, or 5 times their average price, but they've got a good thing going for themselves, and that's without question.

KI Gold has a bid for 199.. is it that rare? jesus it sells for 20 bux loose, i feel bad for that poor guy but that cart is black every auction i checked was gray.. so i don't know if thats worth the huge spike in price.
-
He says in the auction description that a relative of his that works at Nintendo claims there are a few games with rare color variants, only 10 to 20 copies of each, for the Nintendo staff.
I totally don't believe that unless someone here has heard otherwise.
It wouldn't be very hard at all to swap out the innards on the cartridges and put a new label on the thing.
-
If anything they grabbed a few labels and put them on random colored shells.

Check his other auctions, if you're not in the market for possibly faked Super Mario 64 cartridges, there are a ton of Christmas sweaters available.
Also if his Mario 64 and Killer Instinct Gold was released in 1996 how are the backs copyrighted 1997?

I'm not sure if KI Gold was 1996 or 1997, it wasn't released with the system, so it would have had to have been released in October, November or December. But they update copyright labels on cart reprints.

I love that eBay made everyone change their password (only time I've seen them make me do so in 15+ years) and of course they make no mention of a security breach. Riiiiiight, just make us all change our passwords for no good reason.

As I understand it and from everything that I've read about the eBay breach... Passwords, addresses, and personal info was at risk, but NOT any financial information. Not sure how true that is, but that's the story they're apparently putting out.

Maybe he made a custom label for it, I've never seen one like that. Thought all the carts had to show the rating too (May be wrong there), so it wouldn't be a legit label. He's not selling a bunch of rare games so that's a plus, and the back isn't blank like most fake ones. But it doesn't look to have a lip on the back like I'm used to, and all the lettering looks soft.
-
I would not trust it . . .
If it was a custom label, He would have said it.

for that price and that label i would stay far far far far away from it

no worries, I got screwed once, never buying custom label again.

Or maybe it's just that he would never sell unless someone was dumb enough to pay that much money. I mean, I have no desire to sell my collection, but if someone offered me $20k, I'd take it and start collecting all over again.

$50k my fat ass. It's a nice collection, though I know of other people who've done it, but that's way overpriced. Like factor of 10 imo.
Wondering how he got to 310 though, albeit not enough to count. I thought there were only like 299 or 296 or something like that in the US. Maybe he's counting Greatest Hits or something separately.

He has both normal and collectors of Zelda and a few others

I seem to remember the minimum Paypal fee being 25 cents. This was from many years ago though, that may have changed.
But if this ends up costing the seller 13 cents, I will feel a touch of joy in my shriveled black heart.

He's probably just trying to build a feedback score. Though the fact that ANYONE would pay for that is confusing :-\

That lot has been up for like a year. I think I posted it a long while back in this very thread. No idea what that guy is trying to achieve with that listing. It's not like its amazing or something and would get him some press coverage ???

My guess would be that he/she is using the listing to advertise for their store in Huntington Beach, CA and show what their inventory is online.

True didn't saw that, but still not cheap $6.66 each one

And the cases say right on them where he got them. Wonder if he ever gets repeat customers. If so, I hope these people never reproduce.
Seller also needs to pick if it's one or all three, he flips from saying case to cases a few times.

Just sold my first item on ebay last month, thinking that free listing meant no fees on my side. I was blind big time. First I got the paypal fee then the ebay end of month invoice.
Anybody else was a bit surprised by the fees ?

Not surprised really. Between eBay and Paypal, you lose 13% of the sales price. Though, now you've got to keep in mind that you'll be charged 10% of whatever you charge the buyer for shipping as well. That all might not seem like a lot, but it adds up quickly in my experience.
Don't feel bad about falling for the "FREE LISTING" trick though. You're not alone. Lots of folks have fallen for that. They send out those e-mail blasts to lure new sellers to the site, but you've got to click through a page or three in order to read the fine print on that offer. People who've never sold something on eBay are the exact audience they're trying to reach with those offers because they don't really know any better (almost every eBay user gets 50 free listings a month anyway, so it's really nothing special). Chalk it up to a learning experience and know that you'll know better next time.

Yeah, I'm selling most my collection on eBay now and was amazing at how much I'm losing from the fees. Oh well, I gotta sell this stuff because I need the money.
-
List some of your stuff here. I've sold a few things and avoided the eBay fees.
It should go without saying that you won't have any of the eBay "protection." You will have to decide if it's worth the risk. Since I've only delt with lower dollar items here, I took the risk and it paid off.

I bought a skylanders figure off of ebay from gohastings because it was listed as cheap and i used buy it now. The next day I receive a transaction cancellation request with the description "out of stock". If you dont have an item.. why the fuck are you listing it on ebay? And it seems they do it quite often.
How can I leave bad feedback but still get my money back?
-
Take it up with PayPal, no item, no money.
Also found a weird listing for some Nike shoes, after searching Paypal on eBay:
SOLD! Nike Air Foamposite pearlized pink $180 paypal shipped jordan kd kobe
For sale is a pair of Nike Air Foamposite pearlized pink size 10 condition 9/10 no flaws execpt slight little yellowing not really that noticeable. Will sell these for $180 shipped through paypal invoice so hit me up if you tryna buy them.
Are they listing things and doing transactions outside of eBay? Hmmm...
It looks like a lot of people are trying to sell shoes this way.
I did just do a transaction off of eBay through Paypal
I got some broken Invader Zim figures, I bought a lot of stuff the legit way and the seller had some that were not included because they were broken.

I bought a game from gohastings listed as "new" and when it showed up it didn't have the new game plastic wrap. They claimed that it was still "guaranteed". Pfft!

A lot of sellers will do this sort of thing if they have a brick & mortar store which they sell from as well. I'm definitely not defending them, but I know that's been something that I've run in to before :(
-
Hastings in General is pretty bad about that I know for sure. I was going to buy something from them once but their description sucked pretty bad. So I contacted them before I made a purchase. I'll sum up what I was told. Hastings lists things they have in store under a few seller accounts. When that item sells online, they then check what store has it to have it shipped out. Well if that item sold in store, they tend to keep track of it online and then have to issue a refund after the item has been payed for.
The reason I got this much information was because they game I wanted didn't specify in the listing if it was complete or not. After some prodding, this was the info I got.
I'm going to guess that most chain store vendors do it this way. I know it's shitty but you can't really change that.
Anyway hope that helps.
-
they already have the same item relisted on ebay. So why did they repost the listing if they don't have it in stock still?

Anyone here live in Australia? Collect Australian DVDs? Love the Super Mario Bros. Super Show? Any combination of the above?
I only belong to the last category myself. For those that don't know, there were 65 episodes of this show aired M-F throughout 1989 in syndication. Every day there was 5-6 minutes of live action Mario & Luigi in their plumbing shop bookending a cartoon. M-Th that cartoon was SMB and Friday it was Zelda. I was 14 in 89 and watched and recorded this show religiously. Unfortunatlely, I lost and or recorded over most of my tapes. Here in the US, in 2006, Shout Factory released 3 box sets (2 Mario, 1 Zelda) containing all of the cartoons and MOST of the live action bits.
These live action segments were not released on the box sets in the US:
Slime Busters
Magic's Magic
Mommies Curse
Baby Mario Love
9001: A Mario Odyssey
Tutti Frutti, Oh Mario
The Magic Love
George Washington Slept Here
Texas Tea
Treasure of the Sierra Brooklyn
Tutti Frutti Mario
The Ghoul of My Dreams
Most of these "missing segments" were released on VHS/ single disc DVD releases or YouTube/ Netflix in some form. The Magic Love and Treasure of the Sierra Brooklyn, however, were never seen since 89. I really want these segments. I know the show is corny, but I like it nonetheless (see my user name, and no the XB doesn't stand for xbox. 10 points of nothingness to whoever guesses what it does stand for).
This is the part where you guys come in. Found this on ebay Australia:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-SUPER-MARIO-BROS-SUPER-SHOW-Complete-Series-First-Season-1-New-Sealed-R4-/141036749484?
It seems to contain ALL of the Mario cartoons and live-action segments, just missing the Zelda cartoons. I think it came out last year. I can't find any reviews or specs of the set anywhere besides this guy's eBay listing. Does anyone have this set? $60 shipped is a lot to pay for just 10 minutes of footage I don't have, but if I can know for 100% certainty that all of those segments (especially those last two I mentioned) are on this six disc set, I will bite the bullet. I can always re-sell it later I suppose.

Well $610 was the highest bid, but that didn't meet the reserve which is unfortunate since that is a fair price.
For the money he was wanting, he sure didn't present the auction very well. Good pictures are a requirement when selling for top dollars. It also doesn't hurt to take pictures of the actual game carts. ::)
-
If bought individually, that would be a fair price ($610), but lots are never gonna fetch the same as individual carts. You end up targeting a VERY small market with an auction like that.

I think a complete set CIB would set you back less than this laughable auction.

What do? Should I just let it go?
-
Nothing you can really do, can you still leave feeback since he cancelled? IF not sending him any message is just wasting time and more than likely just going to make you angrier. Sucks but nothing you can do
-
I would depend on ebay's policy. In physical stores, the price tag is the final price :)

If your order is still pending i think after 48 hours you can open a dispute on ebay if you haven't accept the cancelation, after all is not your problem that he did't put the price right
-
Yeah but Ebay can't do anything but return the money if you paid.
They should have thugs that go to the sellers house and rip the game from seller's (if all other fails: dead cold) hands.
Ebay should have some sort of penalty pay system.
-
They definitely deserve bad feedback. What's the name of the seller?
-
I got a message saying that we're listing it for their son and made a mistake. :(. I'll post it when I get home. It's not some big game seller, the cancel happened a hour or two after buying.
-
Still lame, but I'd probably just let it go and not leave any feedback.
-
Check their feedback.
If this seems to be the first time... let it be.
But if this seems to be their usual way... Leave so freaking negative feedback as you can.
Also claim item not recieved to fuck them (actually might do no good, as they can simply say no payment).
-
chrissysauctions was the seller, no negative feedback concerning, though has 900 sales in last year.

I am sorry but their was an error in this listing. This is my sons and I entered the wrong amount last night when I listed. The price should have been $35.00. I have never done this before and do apologize but I can't disappoint my son. I hope you understand. I will refund you and relist. I'll wait to hear form you before I do.
Relisted at $35:

eBay (On the page when I see it) "A seller you've bought from" :P
I think I will let it slide, not worth the fuss over $10. I see a few CIB for that price.

He can't cancel it after the listing has sold unless you consent. He can only request that it be cancelled.
If you agree, then it's cancelled and no feedback can be left by either party.

That's not entirely true. If you walk up to the counter with a PS4 that has miraculously been priced at $1.99, you better believe that they aren't going to sell it to you for that price. Many people will argue over the "legality" of such things, but in the end, it's up to the shop owner and there's little you can do.
-
My money was refunded without me doing anything. Anyway, that was that. Not much else I can do, my VB needs repair anyway.
With the price thing in stores, there was a big poster advertising a free pair of ear buds with a pair of over ear headphones in a FYE, I tried to get it, bit the manager was saying they forgot to take the poster down, after a bit of arguing I got the deal that was advertised, and the poster went down.
-
He can refund the money via papyal, but that doesn't cancel the ebay transaction.
-
these last few weeks are just not good for me for selling. I been trying to selling a phone for a friend of mine on the list and got nothing but lowball offers so i threw it up on evilbay only to have the last bidder not pay and i had to wait about a week to relist my item. Now i have it as a buy now or best offer and i am still getting nothing but low ball offers. What the hell is wrong with people
-
eBay is a shithole anymore. That's what happens virtually every time a good idea gets purchased by big business. It's a bad place for buyers, and it's the most miserable place on the planet for sellers :(
-
When I see a Offer, I low ball it mostly expecting the seller to come back with a counter. I never go that low, lowest I went was on a lot a Virtual Boy games a few days ago, $115 down form $150 because I was on the fence about it, and it got accepted.
I have a box of games I need to sell (e-Reader, Famicom, Virtual Boy) , I'm probably going to first do it here, depending what's left maybe just trade it in to my local retro games store.
Should I bother with eBay?
-
I have a box of games I need to sell (e-Reader, Famicom, Virtual Boy)
I might be interested depending on price. ;)
-
When I've sold with a best offer option and received low-ball offers, I just decline. It makes it appear as if the buyer either doesn't consider my time or leaves me feeling that there's no way they'll come up to a reasonable amount, so I just straight decline with no counter-offer.

I got to figure that stuff out and test/ clean the Famicom games, I might get some of that done this weekend.
Prices will be lower than the common eBay prices. Some lower than others, depending on the item.
@Wiggy,
What do you consider Lowball?
Some offers I did lately (And Won) were:
$33 from $45
$13 from $19

well i sold the item for $400 then ebay took a cut of $40 and paypal took $12

I would always try here first. ;)
I've had such good luck here and I feel better knowing a fellow member bought my stuff. I tend to sell at below eBay rates, but I also avoid the hassles and fees.
-
I have sold things on here in the past.
I'll probably get it all set up this weekend, or next.
The VB games are still shipping in. I ended up with a few dupes from the lot.
-
I knew this was gonna happen. The E.T. games they dug out of the Nevada desert are now on eBay are fetching ridiculous prices. One of the most common (and worst games) on planet earth is going for ridiculous amounts simply because it was dug out of the famed E.T. landfill. How ridiculous is this, am I right?

When they did find the games I was wondering when they would sell them. I was interested but not for $50-$500. Nope. Better yet, look at the item numbers "#8150"! of they do this with all they found that's some serious bank.
-
Some of those might be shill or fake bidders trying to drum up prices for the hundreds of other copies they have. $500 from someone with 1 feedback seems fishy.
-
quote from my SO "Because these games are technically new, ET could became a platinum hit yet."

Can't say for sure. The % sort of depends on the price of the item. If something is $10, then a $6 offer doesn't bother me. But if something is $100, then $60 is just too low for me to even consider.

Is the manual in this auction a fake?, I thought it has the Konami logo on the cover

That's the back cover ;)

Okay :), i see the staple now. Didnt know it had print on the back.
Also just being overly cautious, had some recent ebay burns.

This video may already be in this thread, but after hearing how much she paid for these I HAD to post it. Just think of how many she could have had if she went to media shelving and TCP.

Holy shit, $360 for 45 cases! Wtf.

Did she mention retrogamer or retrogames, isn't that a member if TCP?

Wow that makes me feel bad. At least it looks like somebody told them from the popup in the video that there was a cheaper place.
-

I heard that too, but "retro game cases" are a popular topic on eBay, and it is such a generic topic, so who knows. Plus this was 2 and a half years ago, so it could have been anybody selling these.
-
Sweet baby Jesus what the hell is wrong with that person $360 for cases. Why must people be utter retards when it comes to things.

Pretty angry at the moment. Bought a copy of Mobile Suit Gundam Federation vs. Zeon (PS2)

Just received it and wow, I did not receive what was pictured.
The cover is a really bad quality home print that was obviously cut out with scissors.
I'm just having bad luck with eBay sellers. A few days ago I received a copy of Dragon Quest 8 that wasn't even sent in a padded envelope.
It was just wrapped in a bit of brown shipping paper and a ton of tape.
Took 20 minutes to open it without scratching the cardboard outer sleeve, and of coarse the cardboard sleeve was damaged in shipping.
-
You can probably return this under the eBay quality control money back guarantee. He listed it as coming with the case, which may or may not play out in your favor since it did come with a case- but he listed it as "good" condition, which states it should come with original packaging. YOu could also play up the bait and switch - fuzzy picture and "comes with case" only to find it is a bootleg.
-
If you buy dvds on the bay watch out for this seller. >:(
http://stores.ebay.com/thayerentertainmentinc/
he buys Bluray/ DVD combo packs, then breaks them up and resells them separately, making a profit
I bought an Arnold movie from him a few weeks back.
The dvd in a generic case with the slipcover cut up and inserted into the case.
If you have a issue he wants you to send it back at your own expense, so he can re-list it.
One big ebay jerk

Yea if I need to I'll take pics for comparison for ebay. It's obviously not the same game as pictured.
What I received looks bad. Like china town bootleg, reds are purple kind of print.
Just really pisses me of because I was excited to get this game back.
It was one of the first PS2 games I owned and my copy disappeared at some point years ago.

$1,200 me thinks not. Looks like about $900 worth of carts to me (if purchased individually), not to mention that being in a lot like that waaaaay narrows the potential buyer list. Would like a lot of those carts, but not for that money. Maybe like 700-750...

Looks like I am about to get ebay shafted again. Sellers gets funny when an item sells for less than they want. The signs are all here, wont give tracking, doesn't respond to emails or gives flaky responses. it goes past estimated delivery date. Then seller out of the blue says that package was lost and refunds, then you see the said item re-listed.
Everything has happened but the last two.
Ys Seven, I got it for 39.99 and it usually sells for around 50-70.

Had that happen once with a router I was buying for my Cisco home lab (class room was to cold to think in). They said the router was in "New pristine condition." what I got was a router with the faceplate falling off and missing an IOS. The Price was $34. after I filed the claim because they didn't mark the package as arrived (flaking out on shipping updates and shipped it very much later hoping I would ask for a refund) Ebay cancelled the order and I got to keep the Cisco 1841 router for free.
So I think I won that one.
If the package ever arrives and they don't update the shipping right away/no tracking you could try the same thing. I didn't try to do it and found it by mistake. Just wait it out.
-
Definitely had sellers try to back out after an auction ended. One of the last micro systems I bought on eBay almost fell through that way. Was a CIB violet (Asia-only color) unit. Was pristine and I got if for a LOT less than people typically ask. Seller sent a message almost immediately after the auction ended saying it sold to someone locally and asked to have the transaction cancelled. I told him "no way, you ship it or I file a claim. You should have ended the auction if it had sold already".
He actually shipped it (and didn't take a piss on it beforehand as best I could tell :P )
Good luck with it. Sucks that there really isn't much you can do when that happens, and we've all seen it happen :(

Wouldn't this be an item not as described case?
Am I missing something here? Listing shows 392 sold for a $300 NES Zapper. Don't Zappers usually go for $10?

-
Yes. That's what I filed the claim as but they still resolved it like that.
-
And from what I can see it's not an original one.
Not saying that an original one cost $300 but :o
-
Something fishy there. I bet that it was priced correctly, and now that they're down to very low inventory, they want to do a count to make sure they don't oversell. So make the price obnoxious while doing the inventory so that (most likely) nobody buys it, then adjust the price and inventory when done ;)
-

Gotcha. You'd probably still be protected even if it had tracking showing it as delivered. Ebay tends to side with buyers in disputes.

I think you're right. Makes sense. They probably also don't want to take the ad down and relist the item when they have more in stock to avoid paying listing fees.

A few years ago I had a bid on a copy of Death and Return of Superman for SNES, not an expensive title, but went for about $25 at the time. My standing bid was $3, and it stood for days because the guy titled the game Superman 64 instead of SNES and no one seemed to be looking at it. Right before the 24 hour mark, he cancelled the listing and reposted it 5 minutes later saying "rare" in the title. Well, I bid again, and won it at $16. I was pissed but whatever, but then the game didn't come. A full week later past the expected date and zero communication from him. So I emailed the guy and filed a claim with eBay. I was planning to go out of town so I said I needed the game by a certain date. Day came and went, no game. The next day I ended up getting refunded by eBay.. but then I got the game in the mail the same day as the refund. So, free game. I thought about sending the guy $3 to make a statement, but I figured since he could have avoided all of this by either not cancelling the first sale or just shipping the damn game on time.

Well, not to sound high and mighty, but I'd feel bad about that. Not judging you or anything, I just would. Even if it was late, he still sent the game.
-
Same here.
I bought a large lot of GBC and GBA consoles from a guy in Japan a while back (like 300-400 bucks worth). Tracking never showed any progress, so I filed a claim before it was too late. Of course ebay gave me my money back in no time flat, and then the boxes arrived like 3 days later.
I sent the money to the seller again outside of ebay. It wasn't his fault that tracking was busted. Hell, tracking still shows that it was never delivered. Thanks USPS!
-
If it was some kind of mistake, then I would (and have on some instances) still send them the money if I was refunded and got the item.
However, that first one where he cancelled it because he thought he could get more for it, I don't feel bad for. If you don't want you item to sell for cheap, set a reserve or start it at what you would be happy with.
Most people try to avoid ebay fees and such starting it at .99.
-
I don't get sellers who put best offer options, but never accept them.
I was looking at a Applause Mario figure, $7.50. I first offer $4.80 and it was iggnored until it ran out. I offer $6, and they declined. WHAT IS THE POINT, if your wiggle room is less than a dollar?
I also went back and forth with a person over a Joy Ride Luigi's Mansion figure. Though, this turned out kinda ok. It was $260, I got it for $180, after some pleasant back and forth. I'll post the bids later.
Have anyone else ever seen a listing with an error, and contacted the seller correcting them?
I did a few times, NES manuals listed as Game Boy, a listing had a photo of another listed item not included, a seller I got a lot of 1989 Mario merch had MK64 toys with the accesories mixed up. Or something else mislabeled.
-
I got a good deal on R.O.B. because it was miss labeled. Actually, it was labeled correctly, it's just that a smart seller would have included ROB (without the periods) in the title. I was the only one who bid on mine despite the fact that there were R.O.B. auctions going on before and after mine for more than twice as much money with actual bids. 8)

I wish sellers would just list their items as auctions and let the market dictate what something is worth. It seems most sellers (like the one selling the $2000 Atari 7800 game) just pick an arbitrary value and attempt to sell it for that amount.

I return it.
I order another, "close to mint condition" and asked if it was in checkout, Right side chewed up.
By mint condition, maybe he meant the flavor.

Lost it.
I managed to find a set of 4 platinum wavebirds +one extra. My biggest beef are the lost receiver/battery covers. Mine are complete (except the +1) but just so many are missing parts. I once saw 2 listings by the same guy selling the receiver and wavebird separate.
-
Were there pictures accompanying the auction? I absolutely will not buy anything off ebay unless there are detailed pictures. Buying site unseen has never worked out for me.
Basically, if there aren't any pictures, there is probably a reason...
-
A while back I bought Metal Gear for the Game Cube. It was listed as slight label damage. I studied the pictures (front and back of case) and could not see any problem. When I got it the entire spine was cut out. I just don't get shady sellers .

I do exactly this

I sorta prefer those auctions. Tend to go for less, and ebay will give you your money back for pretty much any issue you have. As a buyer, I have zero concern buying from most anyone on the site. ebay caters to buyers exclusively, and totally shits on their sellers.

Ah, this is a smart way to list an N64 console. See what he did there?

so everybody gets the original dark grey console with light grey controllers ? ;)
-
EXACTLY :P
-
Does anyone think they will get anything other than a grey console with grey controllers and two sports games?
-
I'm sure people do. There's one born every minute...

Fake ?
The label corners seems a bit too rounded. I asked the seller and he played the "no clue, it was a gift" answer.

That label screams fake!
Only board pics would tell the truth though.
-
The end label doesn't even come close to touching the ends, at the very least it is not the original label. I'd be willing to bet the game is fake or a repro.

So I've been wondering something since I actually did it... Not so much what I should do but how people like you might feel about it.
I picked up a copy of Chrono Trigger about 15 years ago from a video store for a cool $10, along with a copy of BoF II for the same price. Good times. Well at some point my copy of Chrono Trigger was lost to my at the time girlfriend's moving boxes never to be seen again until I recently got in contact with her brother who just so happened to have it. He happily gave it back to me but it looked like it had spent that last decade and a half buried under a shed. Cart was stained and dirty, labels were peeling and ruined and I think the fungus living on the copper contacts had become sentient. I was able to Brasso the hell out of the the contacts and get the game working like new.
TL;DR - I bought a copy of some hockey game in perfect condition (because it was never played), blowdried off the label and replaced it with a reproduction label. It looks brand new, and it makes me happy. I still keep the original crappy cart simply because it's the "original".
If the day were ever to come where I were to sell my collection, I'd include that old shell and note that the game had been refurbished but still contains the original board.
What would you guys think about finding something like that and what would it do for your perception of its value?
-
I have bought games with bad labels in the past but only to play and still sought out a nice copy for my collection. In fact Chrono Trigger was one of them. This was about a year ago, I bought a copy with a bad label for $25 from ebay but eventually found a mint copy last November and paid much more for it.

This is the exact same thing that I do with my games. I want my games to look as good as possible, and since I can pretty easily make that sort of thing happen...
-
Personally I think a refurbished cart is a bit less valuable than an original, but that's just my taste. I like carts that are all original for my collection, but I'm not at all against refurbishing games! If you can give something a better look and a few more years than it had before then you're doing the community a favor by saving a cart! Well done my friend! ;D
-
I can attest to the fact that refurbishing a cart with a new or custom label or cart shell doesn't really effect the value much if at all. True, some collectors do want all original, but it seems that most don't care either way. When I had to sell my Gameboy collection a while back, I had a lot of carts with reproduction or custom labels. Didn't get any less than average for them when they sold. In some instances, I got a good bit more than normal. So long as you're honest about it when you resell the game, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem or difference in price.

Ours is a funny hobby. Rarely, if ever, is something collected both for the sheer joy of collecting as much as it is for a very real, use-oriented purpose. Games are, after all, meant to be played. A beat to hell cartridge missing its shell will (often) play ever bit as well as one that's just come out of a factory seal. Very little else can say that. So really, the value in a game is in the eye of the beholder -- this is true for collecting anything, but in my opinion nowhere more so than with video games.
Myself? I want my stuff to look good, but the only thing that I really need original is the board/chips itself, and I occasionally wonder why I even need that -- in many cases, a homemade cart runs just as well as the factory cart. Heck, in some cases it runs better -- look at the notoriously bad Tengen motherboards for Genesis. Yes, windowed chips have a greater chance of getting wiped, but with the absolute most basic precautions the chance is basically nil. As has been pointed out on numerous retro gaming sites I've been on before: all games will cease to function eventually for one reason or another.
But all the rest of it? Don't care. Original box? I won't say no if I come across it for the same price as a cart-only release, but I won't pay more for it -- I'd rather it get saved for someone who truly appreciates the cardboard, I will HAPPILY standardize my games in UGCs/DS-size cases from you guys. Original label? It's nice and all, but if it's badly beat up, screw that yank it and replace it if I can make it look good (this is especially prevalent in my mind with Neo Geo MVS which I've started to collect for -- they were originally designed to be in an arcade cabinet after all, even pristine labels are little more than basic black on white VCR-tape like labels. Artists have made far nicer, full color labels more akin to home releases and I intend to change mine out for those eventually). Original manual I would like if I could just because 2nd-4th gen games tended to need them to explain things, but honestly if someone gave me a full color replacement that's cut/stapled correctly? I would be every bit as happy with that. The main reason I prefer the original manual is just because most reproduction ones (obviously excepting places like Wiggy, or Tusk, or Timewalk RIP) are just lame photocopies that never work right.
But yeah. That's my take on it.

I agree with this completely. The one thing I will add is that it's important to state if the game or any part of it such as the label is not original. I don't have a proglem with any type of reproduction carts or replacement labels as long as no one tries to pass them off as original.

LOL! If I had big tits, this is how I'd sell my crappy games, for sure!

Maybe the one who sell him those games told him that those "RPGs" ::) are worth 1000 dollars but he sold those games to that poor stupid guy for 500 hundred and maybe he thought "why not, I will sell them for the 1000 he told me" :P ::)

One thing I absolutely HATE on Ebay are video game listings that use a stock photo and no description.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NeoGeo-Battle-Coliseum-Sony-PlayStation-2-2007-/151167582661?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item23324a41c5
That's just an example of a listing I came across for a game I've been looking for recently. Luckily there are dozens of other listings with photos and descriptions, but I mean how lazy can a seller get when listing.
-
It kind of bothers me when I sell an item on ebay and the buyer doesn't pay for a long time. and I have to escalate the case to get them to pay. Why buy something if you don't have money for it? I don't go to stores and tell them I'll pay them Tuesday for a hamburger today.

That's what the vast majority of folks in the US should ask themselves, seeing as credit card debt in this country is absolutely insane.
Anyway, so it's "new", but we felt the need to crack it open and "test" it anyway. Why? Why do these sellers list used shit as new? And they always have some BS reason for it basically being NOT new.

For him is "new" he is the only one who played it, he doesn't count :P

I would accept the definition as new if it truly is only opened for testing that it works, as this lessens the likelyhood of people claiming non-working machine or swapping or switching the innards. New and unopened are different definitions.
And I would take photo of the orientation of the screws as not many would think to check that before opening ;D.

What?
Let's say someone has broken console.
They buy one from you, he/she then opens the console up switches the innards and then closes it.
What one usually doesn't pay attention is the orientation of the screwheads.
By having a photo of the screwheads you can quite easily tell if the console has been opened or not, as if you don't pay attention to it the heads will end up in different position.

If it was brand new, then it had seals at each end of the box, so you'd know if it had been open.
Plus, eBay wouldn't give a shit about how you paid attention to screw alignment. Convincing them that the customer broke the seals would be hard enough :-\

Accidentally searched eBay for Walmart:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=walmart&clk_rvr_id=780307678857&mfe=search
Why are people selling $100 gift cards for $130? Why are so many people selling gift cards for higher than the amount on the card? Why did a few people buy a card for higher than the value? Why go through the trouble of bidding on a $20 card for $19.27 or anything amount were the amount you save is not worth the effort of getting the card?
I just sent a PM to one seller asking:
Why are you selling a $200 WalMart gift card for $265?
I am stumped why someone would want to pay $265 for $200, basically loosing $65 in the processes.
Nothing against you, I am just really confused on why so many people are selling cards for more than it is worth, you are not the only one. Is there a special feature to doing this that I am missing?
Thank you, again, not trying to be rude, I am just legitimately curious.
We will see if I get a response, I really want one.
-
I think it has something to do with what PT Barnum said. The only reason I can fathom that someone would sell cards for more than their worth are 1. too offset the fees of ebay and 2. people actually buy these. Maybe someone wants to give a gift, but doesn't want to give cash and is too lazy to go the store for a gift card (though I imagine they can probably get one from Walmart.com without spending extra).
Recently on ebay, I bought a 12+1 month xbox live gold card from bestbuy for 40 bucks and it didn't have the extra month promised. They offer no solution in their 'not as described' policy other than to file for a return. I included a message stating that I'd be happy with just receiving one additional month as promised in the listing rather than them refunding all of my $ for a card that's already been redeemed.
-
Still, if you are that lazy, just give them money! Not many people actually bought them, one or two here and there. And it takes time to ship in.
WalMart offers emailing codes to use, I ordered an Nintendo eShop card and cot the code within 2 hours.
Good luck with Best Buy.

i did same deal but i did mine around black friday so i got the 20% off and on top of that a few weeks ahead of time i sent them 10 donor carts that i got for $1-$2 each at my local flea market so i got another $100 off. Ended up being $140 i paid after investing about $15 in donor carts so i squeezed mine for about $15-$16 each. I plan on setting it up same way next year and getting another 10 same way

Didn't Final Fight CD come in a cardboard box

Good luck with Best Buy.
Best Buy ignored my claim so I escalated it to eBay and they denied it. Furthermore, they reversed my bad feedback I left for the item not matching the description. The whole experience leaves a bad taste. I didn't abuse the system and the item certainly didn't match the description. BS.

The disc is blank. They buyer has to burn the game themselves. All this seller is doing is printing some inserts on paper and printing an image on a blank CD and selling it for $20.

I did that once. Bought a large lot of GBCs from Japan that took more than 3 months to show up. Filed a claim before the time expired to do so in order to ensure I didn't get screwed if they never showed. Won the claim, package arrived like 3 days later :(
Emailed the poor guy and sent the money right back. And it was a good chunk of change. About 80-90 Gameboys were in that box.

I feel your pain, thats happened to me countless times. Item does not sell for what they want, so they give you some lame excuse like: I shipped it. You should have it, or I lost the item. Once someone told me. My house got robbed item was stole so I cant send it to you. Then they relist.

Apparently you know or remember that I have 9 younger siblings of which 5 have better halves.
Also 5 nephews/neeces.
And my brothers have somewhat extensive band of friends.
So 16 players easily.
PS3's MAG with full players might be problem, buut even that is likely doable.

Crazy overpriced IMO. They're not worth an average of a hundred bucks each. Plus he claims they're all original other than Ghostlop (which is a leaked proto and has no "original" boards), but lists Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, which is a hack/boot game and thus also can't be original by definition... Which makes all of his claims about authenticity suspect.
The inclusion of shock boxes is nice, and the fact that it includes shipping is nice and makes the price only "kinda overpriced" and not "crazy overpriced" in second thought...
But definitely not a great deal IMO

So I wanted some quick cash. Looked up the price on the US Jack Bros. Nice! Ok, I dont need it that bad and I'll pick up a flash cart if I ever want to play it on my VB again. Apparently Wii has a pretty nuce VB emulator that I'll have to try soon.
Anyway, I set up a one day auction so I could get the money sooner. I only take paypal so it should be fast. Set up a buy it now for $250 and start the bids at 50. At the last 13 minutes it started getting crazy. It was at 138 or so and ended at $266. Nice!
So my whole point here is the guy paid me via PayPal but it was via echeck. Now I have to wait for it to clear. So my one day auction didnt pay off.
First time someone ever paid me by echeck. Anyone else experience this?

wouldnt mind picking up one of these.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Famicom-Famiclone-Console-Little-Samson-Video-Game-/181851046644?hash=item2a572ac2f4
Since the real deal now runs for about 800 bucks.
It's a cheap Chinese knockoff. The famicom version is called Lickle. It's probably better to get an authentic Famicom copy, right?

Or, you can get a the same cheap knockoff as originally listed for 8.91 through AliExpress.

So I wanted some quick cash. Looked up the price on the US Jack Bros. Nice! Ok, I dont need it that bad and I'll pick up a flash cart if I ever want to play it on my VB again. Apparently Wii has a pretty nuce VB emulator that I'll have to try soon.
Anyway, I set up a one day auction so I could get the money sooner. I only take paypal so it should be fast. Set up a buy it now for $250 and start the bids at 50. At the last 13 minutes it started getting crazy. It was at 138 or so and ended at $266. Nice!
So my whole point here is the guy paid me via PayPal but it was via echeck. Now I have to wait for it to clear. So my one day auction didnt pay off.
First time someone ever paid me by echeck. Anyone else experience this?
Occasionally we get payments via echeck from our customers. It's annoying, but there's nothing unsafe about it or anything.

That's the going price. Surprised me too. None were currently on there, except Japanese. The last two completed US versions went for I think $175 and $225.
I have an empty Nintendo Cereal System box too. Hmm...

I thought price depended on the art on the cereal boxes, always heard there was a holographic one that was even more rare than the others. Its funny because as a kid I probably went thru a box of the stuff every week.

Um, nope. This is the Japanese version of the first WarioWare game. Nothing special about it. Regular GBA cart. The same game that's a 3DS Ambassador and Wii U Virtual Console title.

Its a multicart. I used to have it. Also, never seen WarioWare Twisted Japanese, so not sure if that 2nd auction there is fake or not.

I won an auction and paid.
The seller refunds immeadly and says the postage was wrong and should bit higher, that is probably true as the postage was bit on low side, so I say OK send me invoice with correct postage... no reply.
I remind him few weeks later... the responce is that he wants to cancel because I live in country that he does not post to.
The listing says posts to European Union... I live in Finland which is part of European Union... so I say stop lying and decline on the cancel as I want the items.
Now he cries that ebay charges him 14 Euros.

I think you did the right thing. His actions are similar to sellers cancelling an auction because the final bid wasn't high enough.

Some guy in India tried the same crap with a CIB violet Gameboy Micro last year. Auction ended for considerably less than I expected, and he immediately sends a message that he needs to cancel the transaction because it was sold to someone else.
Told him no, don't believe you. Ship it or I'll leave negative feedback.
He actually did ship it. I was honesty pretty shocked.

hey wiggy was that ps4 on ebay ever legit?
Ugh, it was legit, but the transaction went sorta south. Basically, the guy was a newb, and didn't know that shipping from South Africa was going to be about 170-250 dollars. He quoted like 17 or something. While adding 150+ for shipping would have still been a good deal, I wasn't going to throw that kind of money at an ebay noob with virtually zero protection should he run off with that 150+. He completely understood and refunded me right away and apologized. He said ebay seemed rather tricky, and the new seller $500 montly limit was the only reason he was selling it for so little (and I guess he needed money). Said he would just try and sell locally instead.
It seemed super scam-o-riffic, but considering that he refunded me without question or hesitation, I'm inclined to believe he had the best intentions, but didn't do his research first.
Oh well.

Does anyone know the game Lords of Thunder? I was searching for some Sega CD games just out of curiosity on youtube. And MY goodness Lords of Thunder looked incredible to me even though I had never heard of it before. It's so unique. Metal rock music and bad ass shmup gameplay.
Anyways, I looked into it and it's like a couple hundred bucks on Ebay. Man oh man. Would you put out 200 bucks or more to buy one game that you really wanted? Or is there a better way to get it, iso or emulation or whatever? I don't know. I don't even have a Sega CD. This made me want one, but then again, getting a game for that much money? Why is it so expensive? Hmm I do want it though. I'm a Shmup nerd.
-
:P
yeah, it's part of a scene set i uploaded at ***.
some will pay 200 bats for it, and it's worth what folks pay.
take the amiga 1200 for example, i really can't be fucked with any other tech, it's just i don't have the money to pay the exorbitant prices for it's upgrade.
they were a few types, and the one i'm after id the high-end expansion card.
i'd shit 400 bats on one if any was going, even swap my LTD-edit dreamcast for it.
just goes to show, commodore is where it's at, the rest fail and kill time a bit. :P
online searching will help with sega/mega cd emulation, and the iso/rom image too. ;D

I was about to say the same thing. It's the PC engine version which got a release, so most likely known by the Jpn name.

Well I did manage to get it on Wii U's Wii shop. Glad to have it. But the graphics don't look real good. They don't look as crisp as on youtube and is that due to my HDTV or is that due to it being an emulated game?
My friend isn't sold on it yet. He's still too lazy to get it and I have no idea why I care, but it's like I'm offended. I recognize that this thinking is unacceptable to me, but I don't know why I care what other people do lately. It's like they have to have or do what I do or I get mad.

I heard you can put screws in them, but I think you have to dremel it out. Then drill a small hole. Alot of extra work if you asked me.

I just had my 2nd weirdest Ebay sale. I listed a "Star Wars Arcade Game" cartridge for Colecovision for $39.99 with a "best offer" option. I looked earlier today and saw that I had an offer. I was expecting it to be around $30 (as most offers tend to be around 20-25% under selling price), but the offer was for $39 - only 99 cents less than my price. Needless to say, I accepted immediately.
I included a UCG with custom artwork (not from here as we don't have it - I don't remember where I found it), so $39 was a decent price considering recent sales of cartridge only for as high as $45.
In case anyone is wondering, number 1 weirdest was a baseball card I listed with an auction and a buy it now of $13. The first person bid, so the buy it now disappeared. It ended up going for over $40 - and the high bidder was the first bidder who could have bought it for $13.
-
I had something listed for $9.99 BIN OBO, some guy offered $15.99. No joke. I had it setup to accept anything $8.50 and up, so I didn't even have the chance to tell him that he was paying more than I was asking, so I went ahead and shipped it. Left me positive feedback when it arrived.

My guess is that the item was showing dollar price even though buyer was in UK ebay.
Buyer then inputted pound price offer.

Had this new guy on AtariAge show up the other day, hoping to get some values on some Jaguar stuff. It was a really IMPRESSIVE lot of stuff. Several people chime in this value and that value, but one game he focused on (Battlesphere Gold, as an example) was slated to be valued anywhere between 250.00 and 700.00. Also, many people offered to buy a bunch of the stuff and allow him to still make a profit on it. What does this guy do? He say basically "thanks but no thanks, I'll throw this game and the other stuff on Ebay and try to get the absolute top dollar." Oh, and the Battlesphere game....he said he's going to list it for 800.00 or best offer. Then we find out he's a reseller, and things go downhill pretty quickly from there. Highly, highly irritating to me when people (especially resellers) do this. There are many ways that guy could have come out on top as well as sell most of the stuff he got very quickly, but instead, he took the high value amounts that people were telling him and going above that for his price.
Grrr...my apologies, just ranting. I'm sure some of this stuff will be on Ebay soon.

All this scalping and profiteering of Nintendo products is really annoying, god forbid you don't play every game released or suffer the inflated prices.
I got a copy near launch and have not had a chance to play it yet. So at least I have that.
BETTER GET HIS RARE STAIR FAX 3D BEFORE IT SELLS OUT:

:P
I made the comment to the Mrs. over the weekend that my game collecting days may be coming to an end in the near future because I am going to be priced out of everything that I am interested in. With NES and SNES games skyrocketing in price over the last couple of years and resellers happily going along with the gouging, I just don't know how much longer I can do this.
I am still trying to find a decent condition NES that is priced appropriately. eBay sellers are inflating prices. Craigslist people are out of their minds. Sorry, but I'm not paying $80 for an NES and a handful of commons. Seriously can't wait for the bubble to burst.

i really shouldn't, but fuck it!
at least it's a testament to the quality of work.
indifferent.
if i make something totally visible to the public, it's outta my hands.
on the flip side, i'd just laugh, they obviously like it. (not likely to find anything of mine on ebay.)
a few retail games i've dumped, nobody else did, hashes at the time wasn't catalogued, and i make it a point to record the disk ring/master code.
unique to each individual retail disk pressed, and they used it as part of their submission. ::) twats! (that's not the same as the rom/data hash. a correct dump no matter where from is the same there.)
no credit, but it's all good, it's out there, and it just rubs my epeen fatter knowing my work gets around. ;D (for everything else, slash em with a mastercard.)

Blood dries and becomes crusty. That looks way too sleek to be blood. Also, blood gets orange-rusty when it gets old, this is too purpley

It's an auto-fill thing from eBay. I think it actually has something to do with the tech specs of the sega 32X. It means "2 MegaBytes". Something about the 32X's memory mapper requirement or whatever.

It's either troll bidders, or people who are getting too caught up in the Stadium Events shipping case story.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "rare" but it is pretty uncommon. I've actually only seen a physical copy a handful of times, and the game has been hovering between $75 -$100 for a few years now.

No, moisture as in that is mold growing between the layers of the plastic.
-
It's not mold. it's a result of moisture absorption, but the deformity remains ever after the moisture has evaporated.
We tried soaking some SNES cart shells in a bucket of water in a backer of water a couple of years back in order to make label removal easier (we've since found a way better method). About half of them had the blisters the next morning. Even after we thoroughly dried them, the deformity remained.

If that would be genuine I could kinda understand but even then I would not buy unless it's CIB.

Ahh, didn't notice that. And there probably never was a box or instructions for this game. I think it had to be ordered from Exertainment. Cannondale Cup is the retail version of Mountain Bike Rally.

I've seen CIB Speed Racer / Mountain Bike Rallies quite often on eBay (with 2000+ price tag).
Mountain Bike Rally was released also under that name (I own a CIB copy).
There are 2 on eBay at the moment.

Seriously Amiga - your recent ramblings on paranoia, etc. have been a little strong. You wanna reign it in a little again please?
-
can appreciate that, no argument, but i live in a country where talk is cheap... (just accentuating the point.)
then again, the same applies across the 'civilezed' world.
i guess what i'm saying is, you voices count for nothing, you don't have the clout or the gear to effectively change anything, so why keep complaining about something you have NO control over?
you could complain about real issues?
but what they are is also subjective. :'(

anyway, yeah, will do.
my point remains however... :'(

i suppose so?!
it depends who's reading it really? up to them to determine if i'm crazy.
which as it happens, we come full circle, back to the subject at hand....
because i can't think of anything more crazy than engaging in an activity that's stressful, and risky when it's all part of the game?
it's like signing up for the army and the soldier gets his leg blown right off by a claymore, then he cries like a little girl that he was shot at!
1, ebay = risky and expensive.
2, military = chance of a bodybag, and if anything short, they got lucky and have NO grounds to complain regarding combat related injuries..
...
part of the territory, part of the package.
...
you don't become a police officer then fold at the first sign of critique, you see it through knowing what the stakes were in advance.
if this makes me crazy, then so be it! ;D
at least i'll live longer while others drop like flies and better my chances of survival, look what happened to the dinosaurs... ??? evolution/extinction.

Either way, the seller is only listing it to troll/piss off certain people, but if someone actuals pays for it, I'm sure he will send it out.
Lol! Does anyone know the end of this story?
You've got a lot of reading to do if you want to get caught up on this story.

Typical NA excessive bullshit drama for no good reason. I almost never use the term "get a life", but here it definitely needs to be said.
-
Pat on the CU podcast fallowed it (also has one of the signs now)

I actually think the whole story is pretty funny. Glad to know there are more of these things out there. Not that I'll ever own one, but I hate the douche bags who drive up market value deliberately, so it's nice to see them sweat.

That is indeed a lot of reading!
I did some reading, but I don't quite comprehend it all. Can someone give me a summary? Is atwoodtm the good guy or bad guy? (seems like a good guy, but he and his wife are banned from NA...??)
But yeah, this is getting kind of a problem. A collector wants to expands his collection, but with the increasing amount of resellers you'll have to pay big bucks for it. So what do you do when you sell something from your own collection? (trading would be a marvellous solution, but also not that easy/practical).
-
The short version...
This guy (Atwood) is a long time collector and has a ridiculous collection of sealed in box games, including several shipping boxes (6 games in each) that are still sealed. He enjoys the hobby and doesn't really brag about his collection.
Lately, some of the top dogs of collecting have been doing shady dealings (such as buying several copies of rare games) in order to drive up the value of games like Stadium Events, Bonk, Dinosaur Peak, etc. Atwood has called these guys out before and basically feels games shouldn't be an investment. At least not when you're buying 20 copies of an already rare game so you can bump up the resell price.
Having had enough, Atwood stated that he will sell some of his mighty collection - flooding the market with these super rare and expensive games. Now "flooded" is a generous term, but when only, say, 15 sealed copies of Stadium Events are known to exist, and this guy introduces 12 more into the market, the value on this game (as well as the open box version) is going to drop considerably. It will still cost a fortune, but significantly less than what they are going for now, meaning flippers may not make back the thousands they invested.
As for why he has been banned, my guess is it was because he pissed off the elitists who run the NA forums. I think one of them is someone Atwood has called out in the past for this type of stuff.
Anyway, I don't know if the guy is a hero or an asshole, but he sounds awesome, and I would love to check out this guy's house just to see this stuff with my own eyes.

You pretty much got it. Although he was given a 2 week temporary ban due to trolling. After he finished what he was trying to "accomplish" he started leaving a bunch of trolling posts. I think he was just trying to piss off some of the people that had rubbed him the wrong way during the last few weeks of this story unfolding. Honestly, I don't think he cares much as I doubt his presence will be much more going forward then it was in the past few years (which was limited to none).

Speaking of Stadium Events, this auction seems like it could be shady:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141984767559?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Why is someone listing a Stadium Events along with a super common game like 10 Yard Fight? Not only that, he describes the listing like it's just another game. Does he really not know Stadium Events is super valuable? I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a reproduction cart.
If I was a serious buyer of SE, I would want to see a picture of the board inside the cartridge. I can't believe the price is so high based only on a vague description and single photo.
-
I'd say he doesn't know it's value. Just from the pictures, it doesn't look like a repro. Ebay does offer a Money Back Guarantee in the event of a fraudulent item. What is weird is that he's selling a few other games and this is the only auction that's a lot. The stuff is sells is pretty random except for the police junk.
-
I actually sent him a message for this auction like 4 or 5 days before the auctions end requesting more pictures and such and he never responded. On one hand I think it is very shady, but on the other it could just have been the auction for me to go for to get stadium events at a "reasonable" price point. Also as Segamer pointed out Ebay does have a money back guarantee which almost made me place a bid on it but decided to pass.
-
I can understand about Ebay's money back guarantee, but I'd still be very skeptical. He's simply showing a Stadium Events cartridge, nowhere does he claim it's authentic. He could simply claim he's selling exactly what's pictured, which is a Stadium Events cartridge. Authenticity should be implied, but I wouldn't spend $4000+ on such a vague listing.
-
This is what we should look for.

Why does he show a photo of a complete in box game, then describe it as "cartridge only, no box or manual"? He also lists it as very good condition, which requires a box and manual. I messaged him as soon as it was listed, but he never responded. Someone else ended up buying it. I would have bought it if I had confirmation that it was complete.

Not eBay, but close, I guess. What happened to this store?
http://www.dkoldies.com/
I remember it being a good store couple years back, but the prices are ridiculous. Most popular games are a good $10 or more above other stores, let alone the stupid marketing trick of 'everything is on sale' thing, where all prices have an even higher price crossed out next to it. Super Mario World is $50.00 $39.99, SSB Melee is $100.00 $79.99
Huh . . .
-

Huh . . .
This and Lukie Games, both. Prices have gone up the past few years, which is a given, but man. They were never THIS blatant about their overpricing. In 2010 I remember getting Gargoyle's Quest 2 from them for about $15, which was about $5 more than stores at the time. But now, the markup is just nuts.

When bidding which was increasing in increments of $1 suddenly goes up by only .03, it's obvious that the bidder's (me) max bid has been reached. Seems very suspicious to me, unless a buyer was really willing to pay $40, but not $41 even though he knew my max and that he would get it if he went $1 more.
Also, 50% of the "other" bidder's bids went to this same seller. That seems awfully high.
By the way, this auction appealed to me because I need a new model 2 Genesis, as mine isn't compatible with Sega CD for some reason. Also, the red box version of "Super Monaco GP is quite uncommon, it's one of my favorite games, and I've been searching for a year for a complete copy.
I'm not upset about paying $40, as it's worth it to me, but I believe I should have gotten it for $30. I'll pay for it, as I won't let $10 cause me to miss out on a game I've been searching for, but I'll file a complaint with Ebay after I get it. I'm guessing they'll say there's not enough evidence of shill bidding, as shill bidders usually have a high number of bid retractions and this one has none.

Anyway, since we don't have "The amazon.com topic", I'll use this one.

It says it was shipped. That price has to be honored, right?
-
well, I'm guessing if it's shipped at that price there's not a lot else they can do about it. If it hadn't shipped yet, I would say that they would stop it before it left the warehouse, but seems you might get lucky.

Venting Coming...
Flippin' eBay man. I listed a bunch of Sega games on behalf of my Brother. Someone bought a bunch and is now claiming the two they purchased at full price (discounts were given on the others because they bought several) don't work. Happens right... Well, except all games were photographed in action before being listed. There is literally pictures of the games working in the listing, yet dude claims they don't. Pretty obvious buyer's remorse or some sort of scam (good thing we took pics of the circuit boards as well on the pricier games). So, now we have to eat the return shipping fee because some doofus changed their mind.

So apparently, Tiny Toon Adventures Dotabata Daiundoukai is so expensive.

I've seen him post this on the forums. I go to the site for info and stuff, but God, I hate most of those dudes... such a bunch of elitist dicks and that auction is ridiculous. Nobody will ever buy that. LOL!
And the VGA grading company is a joke. It's been proven time and time again. People have sent in games, had them graded and sent back to them, opened it up and sent the same game back in for grading and they've been sent back with completely different grades. The company has no guidelines or set standards and they just hand out random grades, all while lining their pockets and laughing at these dudes whom pay for their "services".
-
This one graded 75 at almost 1/10 of the price would make more sense :)

Of course the scalpers are loving the fact that the rumors are saying that each store will get no more than 4 or 5 each.

Yeah, and Nintendo isn't gonna just keep making those things non-stop. People are just ignorant.

I hope you're wrong but i bet you're right.
If they are abundant or relatively abundant my plan was to buy 5 of them and 3 extra NES controllers. 1 Console + 3 controllers for me (I want 4 total NES / Wii Classic Controllers). The other 4 consoles would be Christmas presents for my 4 siblings.
I am already working on backup plans for them as I don't see these things as an easy find because Nintendo is ... well Nintendo afterall ;)
-
I've said it before, but I will only buy one if I can walk into a store any time after release and pick one up at normal price.
I will not pre-ordre one.
I will not wait in line or camp out in front of a store for one.
I will not buy from a reseller.
If those end up being the only way to get it, I just won't have one. I have an original NES with a BLW and an Everdrive N8. I can reliably play any NES game on original hardware, so I don't need this outside of the "it would be cool have have" factor.
Regardless, I do want a few controllers. For some reason, I don't see those being hard to get. Not too worried there.

He may have been ruder than needed, but to be honest, I agree with him. Also, I understand your point about the covers, but they actually provide information on the game which is located within the case (and the case provides protection). They have a lot more real function than a lot of the crap people pay for :P.

I'm just noticing your post, so forgive the late reply. Not all of the members at that site are dicks, but there's a pretty large majority who act like elitist pricks. Many of them have been known to hoard rare games which drives up the value for everyone else, then they throw their extra copies up on Ebay for insane prices. They also use the VGA grading company, who are a total scam, to try and inflate the value of their games. "Look, my game is sealed in an acrylic case and some company with no regulated guidelines or sanctioned rules say the box edges are totally clean with no dings, my game is now worth 20 times more!". And a lot of them, literally, buy or try to acquire super-rare games, just so they can sell them amongst the other elitist collectors on the site who then put them up on Ebay at extortion prices, such as many of the ridiculous auctions that get posted here. Like I said, it's not every member there, but there's definitely a large mentality of superiority amongst many members of that site and it just makes the entire site and anyone who participates in it seem sleazy to me.
Obviously, I can't prove if it hurts the hobby or not, but it definitely doesn't help having tons of people from that site, listing ridiculous, asinine auctions with inflated prices. It makes average, every day people see shit like that and assume every game they own is worth hundreds of dollars. Then, you've got other uninformed people listing all of their games for inflated prices. Not to mention, even if Joe-Average does some research and sees that his games, technically, aren't worth that much, having Ebay auctions, constantly, posted with these inflated prices still sends ripples through different price tracking apps and around the gaming community in general. These douchebags continually post games at these insane prices and it starts to become the reality and norm and people just accept it and then game prices, in general, continue to rise at an accelerated rate, because the hobby is deemed "expensive or super-valuable". It almost attaches a stigma to retro gaming and people expect it to be pricey, when most games really shouldn't be.
-
You can't blame the seller for selling at a high price if there's a buyer who's willing pay that for it. Simple supply and demand.
If you had to sell your collection for some reason, are you going to seek out the lowest bidders, as they can't afford to pay a lot, or will you get what you can and go with the high end. I know which end of the market I'd be aiming for.

You can only have a relatively small +/- feedback ratio before eBay just gives you the boot. I think at about 95%+ they start giving you a hard time and basically ensure that search results will put your items at the very end of the results, even if they're technically the most relevant. I fucking hate eBay.
-
I don't know what's worse - non-paying bidders or deadbeat sellers. I was the winning bidder for a game 6 days ago, and I paid the same day. Still not listed as shipped, no tracking number. Original estimated delivery date is tomorrow, 12/10. I e-mailed the seller two days ago and got no response. E-mailed him again today and still no response. He has a 100% rating with over 400 feedback, so I don't know what the deal is with him.
The game is a first revision of "Revenge of Shinobi" for the Sega Genesis, and I won it for $22 (cart and manual only). I already have a box to put it in. I really want the game because these are usually sold complete for around $50, and I only needed the loose cart. I'm not worried about the money because I know I'll get a refund from Ebay if I file a report and he either ignores it or cancels the order, but that takes up to 5 days.
I buy and sell a lot, and I find these kinds of sellers just as annoying as non-paying bidders. This isn't the first time I've paid for something and had no response from the seller. Now I have to wait, and if another one comes up for sale in the meantime I may miss it because this one's in limbo.
-
Dude, just file a claim. In my experience, the seller responds in less than an hour once a case has been filed.
I just had to do this the other day for a $1,000+ materials order for the business. 11 days (8 business days) and it hadn't shipped. Sent message, nothing for two days. Filed a claim, and within minutes he replied. Told me he'd "ship it today or tomorrow" (he had previously marked it as shipped with UPS tracking, but it was never picked up/dropped off). He said he'd "tell UPS that it was urgent". I told him "no, you pay for 2-day shipping now because I needed this material last week." Luckily he did.
-
Well, I got the game today. Even though I bought it a week ago, he didn't ship it until Thursday (after I first e-mailed him).

"Can you believe someone is trying to get 7 million dollars for a Game Boy Color?"
That kind of thing.

i was selling my xbox 360 on ebay and i decided to pull the listing days ago and this morning i got a email saying the listing has been taken down :D and i am like i pulled this days ago
-
So I sold a iPhone 6 Plus I got in a lot of tech on eBay and I am not much of a apple user and don't know too much about them and plus I could never get it to power on so I listed the phone "AS IS" Over the time I it was on bid people were asking me for the IEMI that was on the back on the device. So anyone who asked I gave it to them. So i ended up selling it for $47 bucks plus shipping I got it for free so I did not care. I mailed it out the next day and the person got it 1 day later. So I got a message from him saying it's not the same item that was in the ad. I went on to remind him I sold it AS IS. After 2 or 3 messages later he asked for a refund so I told him as long as you return the phone I look at it to make sure it's all there I would refund the money. He replayed with "I need you provide a shipping label and $25 to check out and find out thanks". And after i read that I am like no I am not paying for a label and giving you $25 bucks. So today the buyer opened up a case with pictures with the phone on and kinda working. And the IEMI on the board did not match the one I gave him. So i contacted ebay over the phone about the case and they looked into it and because the guy went out to a repair shop and got it working they said "We determined that the item may no longer be in the same condition that it was in when it was sent to the buyer." I don't know if he pulled parts added new parts or what but I ended up with my moneys and the case in my favor.

And of course you can't leave him negative feedback, because eBay feels that sellers shouldn't be allowed to do so because it may deter buyers from leaving negative feedback out of fear that a seller may retaliate with the same. Yet buyers can still leave negative feedback even when they've filed and lost a dispute. Derp.
-
At this point, I wouldn't sell anything on eBay that I would be concerned about completely loosing. In other words, I don't think I would sell anything that is valued over $25.
These policies are great for buyers who are worried about getting scammed, but terrible for small sellers. The big sellers don't care, because they sell enough stuff on a monthly basis to cover the loss on the occasional scammer.
-
That's about where I'm at with it too. eBay is my selling dumpster. If it's crap that I can't easily sell on Amazon, IG, or somewhere else and it ain't worth much, then to the dumpster of online sales it goes.
-
Interestingly enough, I sell fairly frequently on eBay. I've had very few issues, but I think the most important thing is -- you just have to cover your ass in every way possible. And if push comes to shove, you may have to basically yell at an eBay rep. But I'm sure it would be a lot harder to win a case if your account is newer or you lack a lot of feedback. Like others have said, you generally don't want to sell anything you care too much about on eBay.
-
I don't have the time or energy to call eBay at this point in my life. I've done so before, but I just get all worked up and all for some bullshit that shouldn't be my problem anyway, like how they allow customers to commit fraud. I should be able to manage my own customer service without eBay policing me and grading me based on my "performance".
With Amazon getting into "handmade" products and everything else that isn't already listed in their database (which used to make selling your own products on Amazon a massive chore), plus etsy has become a LOT more forgiving when it comes to what's "hand-made" and what isn't, it's hard to imagine that eBay will stay on top for all that much longer. Thei treat their sellers like shit, and people are just tired of it.

This is pretty spot on.
Just a little PS -- if anyone ever purchases an item which is advertised as authentic and turns out counterfeit, send me a PM. I've had to deal with this, and I learned how to deal with it. You will have to fight hard for it, but eBay will be legally obligated to refund you. They also CANNOT force you to ship the counterfeit back. In fact, by asking you to ship the item back, they are directly requesting that you break federal law (in the US at least).

Happened to me once. Seller offered 50% refund (item was won 1$, shipping was 20$)... if I ship it back!
I blasted him in my reply, using a bit what you mentionned (item is not legal for sell in this country). I guess he understood he could have problems, got a full refund minutes later.

wow someone just tried to scam me out of a item i have ebay with a brand new account that was just made today and tried to temp me with a offer 70 bucks over what i am asking and left this message in the offer box
"Hello seller i make offer your item and i would like you to accepted the offer i will like to have your PayPal email address or paypal invoice that payment can be made asap so can pay today the pics of item can be sent to me .thanks"

Lol. That's not really much of a scam. 0/10 for effort on his part.

I violated two of my buying rules, but this seems like it could be a great find:

I don't like to buy from sellers with a zero rating, nor do I buy unless there are good photos of everything. He describes this as "like new", so at least I know if it's just an empty box, or if it's not complete in the described condition, Ebay will almost certainly refund my money. It's already shipped, so I'll see in a few days.

I love buying from zero feedback sellers. It's how you get the best deals. Dunno why anyone even cares about feedback anymore. Seller can't give negative, so buyer feedback is all but worthless. Low seller feedback doesn't mean squat, because feabay will just get your money back if they screw up :)
-
Good points. Maybe he just doesn't realize that this is a $100+ game, or he just wants some quick money. I know I can get a refund if I need to. I just hope there's not a regular "Madden 93" inside instead of the Championship Edition. Since he doesn't appear to be a regular game seller, he may have just used the UPC from the box for the listing and may not even know what the correct cartridge is supposed to look like. Even if the wrong cartridge is inside, I'd still keep it if the correct manual is there (though I'll likely contact him and try to get a partial refund). I'll post an update when I receive it.
-
Bought this from a new seller with zero feedback and it took almost a week for him to ship it and it packed it odd. he shipped it in it's retail box and wrapped in cheap paper and in a clear trash bag. But I got the keyboard for $27 and change shipped.

I agree with all of this, but I will add one warning. I know several people who have had their eBay claims denied because they "altered" the game by opening it to check the board. The average eBay rep doesn't understand the concept of opening a cart to check the board, and they often times consider it the same as destroying the game. Obviously, you should still check the board. All I'm saying is that if you, DON'T use that as proof to eBay that the cart is fake. Give them any other reason or rational as to why it's fake, and you will probably win your case.
-
The way to get that sorted out is to "take it to a professional" to have it looked over. They'll often require that sort of thing anyway if you talk to them first.
Also, since they're so clueless, just point out all the other issues you can find before opening it up like the labels being shitty replicas ;)

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Usually there are enough reasons to prove something is fake, that you don't need to talk about the fake board. That should be enough for eBay. I think most collectors default to the fake board, because for us, that should be the first step. Just don't tell eBay you did that. ;)

I grabbed one that was a factory refurb (new shell, used guts), but they had brand new as well. I think it was 50 for new, 40 refurb. I don't get to the particular stores that have them all that often. But next time I'm out I will grab one. Usually color choices aren't really choices though.

Cool. No rush on my part. Just looking for a second one so I don't have to stop and charge during marathon play sessions. New preferred. Pink color if you can get it, but standard black is fine too.

Gameboy micro purchase. This will replace my fairly worn blue unit with one that's minty like Wrigley's!
I got it for a steal since the seller had zero feedback and was in Serbia.
But, he shipped it in an envelope and then taped the retail box closed. Ugh. The box ain't in perfect shape, but it would be nice to have it arrive not in worse condition that it was when it left his hands.
Oh well. Can't really complain. I can sell my so-so condition blue for more than I paid for this one ;D

If legit, not a terrible price, but shipping kills the deal for me. However, shipping might be cheaper for those in Europe. Unfortunately, these were half the price earlier in the week.

Well, he does have multiple, so hopefully he only opened one.
-
Aside from the packaging, is the Japanese PSOne controller any different from the US version? Does the embossed label on the back of the controller have any Kanji or anything? I have plenty of PlayStation controllers, and even a CIB PSOne branded controller, but it's fun to collect all the variations.

I think I just stumbled upon my first Ebay troll... Opened Ebay to see any offers/sales I had. Someone made an offer of $5 on a $59.97 item. I replied with a counter offer of $59.96. ::)
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. The guy sent an offer of $5.79 on an other $57.97 item(I just declined that one). Opened Ebay later in the day... He made 4 additional similiar offers at once. Declined all those of course. The heck is with this guy? How much time does he have on his hands to waste messing with people? I'm not angry, I'm just...baffled.
I suggest you do the same as me and block the user named "alebutl"

One of the many, MANY reasons that I no longer sell on eBay. The buyers can be the complete assholes, and eBay is perfectly happy letting them do so.

Idea behind this that you might accidentally click accept and then you'll have to contact ebay and explain and buyer can give you negative mark and getting rid of that might be impossible (though not anything harmfull if you explain it right).
Just set auto decline to level that you will not sell under.

On the flip sode to the Make An Offer thing, I despise when a seller has that ,but is just not willing to use it. I was going for like a $10 thing, and when I see MAO I think 'ok he's open to offers' but I was in a back and forth where I LITERALLY PUT AN OFFER FOR 50 CENTS LOWER THAN THE LISTING and was denied. I was so annoyed I just did not buy the thing, Just don't put it if you don't want to use it.

@larryinc64 Of course. I also hate the heck out of sellers like that. Most of the time I'll always accept an offer of 10 to 20% off (depending on the item). I put my items at a bit over my ideal price to have some leeway(plus some buyers will purchase at that price).
Welp I had a bad experience as a seller, and now as a buyer. As for context, I bought a small bundle of Gamecube games for $10. It wasn't even that great a deal(probably worth about $20). Paid for it but it was never marked as shipped. I contacted the seller for explanation multiple times, then filed a claim when I got ignored. I won(of course) and left negative feedback so no one else wastes time with that scammer. Now we're 45 days later and the seller finally shows himself...out of nowhere... Here're the messages he sent me.
"Your gay and have no life"
...and followed with:
"You actually take time to go and weite ur gay little review lol and who the fuck plays gamecube anymore get a life"
I responded:
"Well, OF COURSE I'm gonna leave feedback on a scammer's page. Unfortunately I'm not just gonna sit here and let you steal my money. I was always polite when I repeatedly tried contacting you. I dunno why you pop out of nowhere after all that damn time(must be at least a month and a half) and start talking trash about me. There's NO reason for you to be so agressive. However, judging by your poor sentence structure I'm assuming you don't have much education. I do feel sorry for you."
Jesus, I'm a member since 2006 but never came across assholes like that. Sure I've had a couple of rude people but never on this level. I was unaware Ebay was such a shit hole.

I had a guy straight up tell me that he wouldn't accept anything under his asking price, despite there being a OBO option. I asked why he put it there, and he got all pissed off and told me that it was his auction and he can do what he wants.
Ugh. People.

Yeah, that looks kind of shady. I rarely buy anything on eBay from users with such a small amount of feedback, especially not high ticket items. And the only feedback he has isn't terribly reassuring. But you're right, the images from his auctions earlier this week make it look like he's just a collector selling off his game collection, but there's a lot of red flags that would make me very hesitant to purchase any of his items. Multiple listings of the same item with the same photo, too-good-to-be-true prices on high value items, descriptions with no details, no unsuccessful auctions, brand new seller - the list goes on and on. Hopefully it all works out for you, and if not, eBay is generally pretty good about siding with the buyer over the seller in these situations. Good luck!
-
^^^ those are the best sellers to buy from. If it's legit, you got a great deal. If not, eBay/paypal will give you your money back.

Just looked at this guys profile for an update, looks like it was indeed a scam judging by the recent feedback, and it appears his photos were lifted from Sega Age. If you still haven't heard from him, it's probably time to request a refund. Too bad really, it would have been nice to get a good deal.

Is that a rare version or something? I see a bunch of them are available sealed on ebay. Doesn't even seem like a good price...there's 3 or 4 that have sold for $20 and less shipping in the last month. Am I missing something here?
For instance: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-SEALED-Yu-Gi-Oh-TCG-Mystery-Power-Box-/222586097185?hash=item33d32a4e21%3Ag%3AcDwAAOSwSzRZUsa-&nma=true&si=Cl8V938OS8gSrFPFVPDq4hjzK8M%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

So, yeah, the point of this topic isn't really "hey I wanna buy this", but more "Look at this crazy item! Someone just posted their ditty socks! How weird!" or "Some one is selling that video game item really cheap/ expensive." "What! Nintendo World Championships for $5.00!" "Can you believe someone is trying to get 7 million dollars for a Game Boy Color?"
That kind of thing.
So I'll go ahead and quote myself (which was also responding to Alvin, just as I am now) here. Am I wrong? I mean, everyone knows eBay sells stuff. You don't need to remind us of everything they have for sale. In this topic, we only care about strange/ cool/ interesting/ cheap/ stupidly expensive auctions. Not every item Alvin wants to buy.

This is why I just let eBay handle that stuff. They automatically open a case after two days - though I always put in my listings that if you need more time, simply let me know. Some people are just straight up batcrap crazy in thinking they can buy something and pay for it months later. Even had it where buyers get all pissy with me when the item doesn't arrive within couple days, even though they haven't sent payment yet. You'll never figure out what makes some folks tick, so I just let eBay's automated system handle that crap unless the buyer alerts me to a delay.

Long story short, mom owns a bakery. A little over a month ago, one of the wedding cakes had used the $25/yard rhinestones (bought 7-8 years ago) to border the base of the cake. After the wedding was over, the family brings all the supplies that we used back to get their deposit. The hall... apparently either threw out or stole over 2 yards of this rhinestone (the top tier and the complete bottom tier). So, 2 weeks after this, we had another wedding that needed the expensive rhinestones border. So looked around local shops, nothing. Rhinestone websites... nothing on what we need (they only sell Acrylic which is CHEAP) or something potentially similar for an outrageous price per yard (mind you, for purchasing a new "type" of rhinestones, to make them all match, I need 3x sets of 2yard (6 yards total) strands of rhinestones). Etsy... won't deliver in time. So... hell... lets look at ebay.
(https://s3.postimg.org/q6i3l3er7/Capture.jpg)
I find a quality set like the ones mom has for $14/yard on ebay. I specifically ask the person "I need to in total buy 6 yards of this, but in 2 yard strands. For now, I only need about 2 yards to test out the quality of these rhinestones, do you have any 2 yard strands available?" He gets back to me: "Yes we do, please remind us when you purchase that you need a larger available size."
Awesome, sweet. So I purchase 2x 1yard strands, ask him for 1x 2yard strand. Not complicated? You know?
Item arrives in the mail. Everything looks great. except I look at it closer. 4x of the gems are missing in the strand (very noticeable once you see it). On top of that, it wasn't even 2 yards! it was 1.5 yards! Was charged $28 for 1.5 yards, TF. Contact the person, he gets back to me "oh we can send you another replacement yard". Yes please, do so. He gets back to me a week later: "It seems we don't have any yards left, and I'll issue you a 10% refund". $2.80. I mean I might be bad at math but: 72 inches, $28: you are looking at $0.39 an inch. $0.39 x 54 inches (what we got) = $7. Not only did they short me on the length of the yard, they shorted me of the refund. And now they don't have any strands left, meaning I am really hoping that the final 4+yards I purchase from someone else are just as similar.

And now, I know its not ebays fault, but he could of atleast protected this $300 NES game better. It's not like I bought a $10 item here dude. The item made it fine, but damn did that scare me.

People often mistakenly assume that packing an item SUPER tight is the best way to go. If the item can tolerate being jostled around in the box a bit (and an NES cart most certainly can), then it's best to pack it a bit loose. If that box was packed tight, then the packing material itself could very well have damaged the cart. Leaving room for the box to deform should the USPS decide to curb stomp it is a good thing.

I can agree with that... if the contents of the purchased NES Lot had the Box and all of its contents (which it didn't). Meaning that the box had a good section inside where it had no support to protect from flattening. If you have a Cart itself, psh, there wouldn't be much (if any) damage. A box with with that much damage would scare anyone upon arrival, knowing that the NES box inside it that is very fragile that has an empty space the size of this piece of foam

Agreed. Protecting a relatively fragile, 20+ year old box does take a bit more thought and material than some scraps of paper. Just one of those clear box protectors would pretty much take care of it. Those suckers are tough.
That said, the post office still manages to destroy stuff that's seemingly impossible to damage, no matter how it's packed. We recently shipped a batch of arcade sticks and one arrived with with a broken 1oz. Glass spray bottle (full of plastic cleaner/polish to help care for it). The bottle itself was in a heat sealed bag, inside a 2x4x6 box, surrounded in polyurethane foam inside a 8x10x14 box (the packaging for the stick itself), packed into a 12x15x15 shipping box filled with packing material. The customer sent pics of the outer box, which looked as though it had been backed in to by a small truck. But the inner packaging/boxes were all perfect. Yet somehow they managed to toss that thing around hard enough to break that small vial. Luckily it only refined the small box that it was packed in, which was full of other important parts such as a USB cable, some metal keychains, AC adapter, etc.

Am I the only one laughing at the fact that the USPS just about wrecked a box with a copy of Wrecking Crew inside???

On a more solid "eBay Topic" kind of note... I was looking for a couple of OG Xbox component cables only to see they have apparently dried up. It seems like just a year ago I had my choice of break out boxes or standard cables for component hookup both of which were original Microsoft branded products. Now it seems they are rare as hen's teeth.
Is the Xbox suddenly popular again? Side note, I wonder if the same type of HDMI device as we've seen for the Dreamcast and Gamecube could be made for the Xbox... Hmmm...
-
Seeing as the Xbox is basically a horizontal PC, I can't imagine it would be hard to squeeze digital output from it.
I do know that just about everyone uses them as emulation machines anymore. They're super easy to setup and work great for that purpose.

even if it sells for £1000 that's still a bargain, new I've seen them listed for £4-5000...!

Looks kinda starwars-ish, wonder what it was...

Was that a rare item?

It looks like it's from Obvious Plant which does "bootleg" artwork. Most of it very limited.

Ugh, I just have to vent. Seller lists a Sega Genesis bundle for $45 (or best offer) + 10 shipping. It's nearly exactly what I've been looking for, though at the very top limit of what I wanted to pay. So, I offer $30 to start a negotiation. He immediately declines (no counter offer). OK, maybe too much of a lowball offer on my part, so I now offer $35. Once again he declines with no counter. I go to $38 - same thing decline and no counter. Now I'm annoyed. My offer is only about 15% off his asking price. I try again at $40 and finally $42. Decline with no counter offer. I even messaged him to please counter so we can make a deal but no response.
I can't understand why someone accepts offers but is totally unwilling to be flexible. Is he only willing to go down by only one freaking dollar? Funny thing is if he had listed it without a best offer option I probably would have bought it. I can still buy it now but I'm too pissed at this seller to give him my business.

The auction will end up in more searches that way. Besides, the seller probably figures that someone will just bid themselves up like you were describing.

As an amateur to eBay selling, I have posted listings in the past and not realized I have the ability to turn off "offers" and have done something similar - though admittedly the offers I got were 20% off or more and I do't bargain with lowballers. So if this person posted without realizing that he/she could disable it, they may not be interested in offers.
Still, they should at least respond that they aren't interested in offers

This frustrates me as well. "Best Offer" decline. Well... what... im only like... $5 lower than what you are asking.... why is this option here?

How were you able to make an offer 5 Times? eBay allows for 3.

Not sure, but I definitely made 5 offers.

They recently upped the offer limit to five attempts. Came along with all fixed price listings being good til cancelled, rather than timed listings.

FWIW, with all the changes that eBay has made in the past year to add features, most of them default to "On" without the seller even knowing about it. The other thing that annoys me is that they no longer seem to have a "save these settings" option anymore, so if it slips your mind, you will put a subsequent item up accepting offers when you didn't mean to. The same thing happens with their "Global Shipping" option. This one bites me from time to time, as I don't like shipping globally anymore - I've just had enough bad luck with International buyers in the past.
Honestly, the thing that bothers me most is that they added an "accept offers" option for auctions. Who would put something up for auction if they are going to be accepting offers for it? Wouldn't you just make your "Best Offer" the opening bid price (assuming you don't stifle it with a Reserve price) and be done with it?

I just added a listing for another copy of the same game I sold a few weeks ago, and when I chose "sell similar", Ebay auto-checked the international shipping box, even though it was unchecked in the first listing. Plus, the checks for where I don't ship were no longer checked - I had to manually re-enter them. Clearly Ebay benefits from sellers who ship worldwide which is likely why you can't save your preferences if you restrict where you ship.

Of course they do. When you widen the customer base, you item is far more likely receive a higher max bid/sell quickly (if it’s BIN).
