The Ebay Topic

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.

Notice anything totally insane?

Some users are Not a registered? There is 53 offers?

[wiggy]

Look at the dates.  Offers for that item go back to 2009

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

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

Saw this and thought his 1500$ start price was a tad crazy, 9 bits at the moment guess if anything it just makes me feel better knowing I have all the gems this guy has and is selling + way more. Guess its worth more than I thought lol.

That's absurd.  $21+ per game at the current price.  A lot of them are worth that, but most aren't worth nearly that, even on their own.

Game Boy Printer with paper - $2,500

[wiggy]

So worth it just for the paper alone

[Pikmin Overlord]

WOW. It doesn't even include the printer cable. Apparently they are "pretty easy to find on ebay or other sites."

Some people should really just go and bash their head into a mirror.
