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.

I found some of my old game boxes.  I guess I didn't throw them all out.  I am going to list them on ebay as I am not an in the box collector.

Here is the list

Barts Nightmare Snes
Pokemon Ruby
Shinning Force GBA
Pokemon Red
Zelda Ages
Final Fantasy NES
Pokemon Yellow
Final Fantasy Legend I-III
Pokemon Gold
Zelda Minish Cap

Does anyone need scans of these before I sell them?

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

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. 

[larryinc64]

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?

[wiggy]

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

[wiggy]

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

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.
