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.

It has almost happened to me few times.

It can happen if you search for stuff on ebay UK logged in, and then click thru suggestions as it can (and often does)  jump to other ebays.

Nope.  Florida.  I don't ship int'l on eBay.

If he was Indeed in the UK and offered £15.99, then it would be like offering $21-22
'

OK, it might have been something the thought wrong.

I meant he though t he offered 10 bucks but accidentally offered 10 pounds which used to be more than 16 bucks.

Dunno.

Maybe Peter Griffin bought it.  He tends to go up in price when he is bartering on stuff he buys.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

She will be a DLC character in super smoosh buddies or whatever, so now it's "rare" and "out of print".

Expect a restock next month, I'd wager.

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.

is this a rare game?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flying-Dragon-N64-Nintendo-64-Boxed-/231806366158?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

30 on ebay worldwide, cart only not so expensive (starting from £7).
Boxed and CIB seems rarer
