He bought some of atari's old inventory when they canceled the jaguar games.  Those are uncirculated boxes.  Sorta like how people found rolls of wisdom tree labels.

I figured that, but still.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

"Brand new"
"I tested it"
"Sold as is"

Yeah, eBay will say otherwise if a broken piece of shit arrives at someone's door.


There are tons of auctions claiming "brand new", and then a description which reads "I only played it a couple of times". Um, then it's not brand new.

Yeah, that's my favorite right up there with "CIB, only missing box and manual." ::)

Lets not forget Used Like New, Disc Only. 

On a different note.  Don't go too crazy bidding on this gem.

Don't worry,  I will not bid more than 2000 dollars for that rare snes :P ::) lol

That Super Mario World cart covered in black sharpie should be worth a cool mint though.  It is a one of a kind after all.   ::)

If I had a spare copy of SMW I would color it black and list it for half the price that guy is asking. 8) 

I also have a rare "Display Edition" SNES. :P  If anyone is interested, let me know.

Good guess, but no.  It has everything in it.  It just doesn't work so it sits there looking pretty.  I bought it for $10 because it has absolutely no yellowing and I can swap it with my half yellowed SNES. ;D

Oh, that reminds me.  My original SNES is the super rare Half Yellow Edition :P

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.

It's funny to me that at one time someone bought this game for only $6.99.

I'm not bidding on this, but I've been watching it to see what it goes for.
