Majora's Mask Grey NFR
I'm insanely happy right now. That's it. Story time.

I hopped on eBay last Friday morning. I had always heard about people getting steals on eBay by getting a Buy it Now right when it was posted for pretty cheap. I had been checking every now and again with no real luck, but I like looking at video games on a general basis, so not a huge waste of time for me anyways.
As I get on, the very first item I see is Majora's Mask Grey NFR. I'm primarily an n64 collector (and super nintendo games on the side) and so I definitely knew the value of something like this. Eyes practically bugged out of my head when I saw the buy it now price of $200.00. I did some quick checking (i'm talking no more than a minute) to make sure it didn't look like a fake and then went for it. I was hoping that no one else saw it and would try to undercut me with the seller. Paid instantly, and sent a message that if he would ship priority to get it to me ASAP I would appreciate it and send him some additional cash via paypal to cover it.
A few hours later, he lets me know that it's shipped and he sent it priority. Follows that up by saying that he got 3 offers after it closed and before he shipped, with one of them being 3x the amount I paid ($600) but he believes in honoring the initial purchase. What a guy. As we message back and forth and I thank him profusely, turns out he owns a small video game store with his real love being restoring old arcade and pinball machines. Quality dude.
Anyways, cartridge is 10/10. I literally don't own an n64 cartridge (unsealed) that's in as good shape as this one. The pins are literally perfect as well. Tested it and it worked flawlessly. I don't currently plan on selling it, as it is now the ultimate piece in my collection. I am really excited to play it through and observe some of the changes i've read about. I may sell it within the next year as I try to finance my post-graduation trip to Asia, but i'm going to love it to death first.
Cheers!!!

I agree. Thats awesome the seller didnt let some late bastard take what they missed. Im not an N64 person at all but that game looks in great condition. I would even own it if I found it.
I swear if anyone ever on stuff I have that's valued tries some backdoor crap on stuff I sell I'll be pasting their usernames and anything else I can get publicly here as I think anyone should. Names should be taken for scum like that and made public.
Fantastic timing and find on that. I can even relate on that in a piddly way as I got a Lufia 2 with a beat up manual and map for $25 shipped that way over a year ago now as I nailed it within moments of showing up on the site and the former owner even said he was stunned it was so fast and congratulated me on it too which was cool. A piece of advice. A trip to asia you can that far out find better ways to bankroll. Trust me, don't sell it, you'll regret it. You can sell off some other games in the $100ish range and easily recover those later, but an item like this as long as the market doesn't fall out won't lose but gain value making it even worse to get another. If you're that fired up as it appears, keep it.

^ Been on the opposite side of this, and I support. Def find out who is he
I'm looking to reciprocate in some way by trying to help him get something he is looking for but he seems to be mostly a video game seller and an arcade collector which is far out of my league.
Anyways, thanks for all the comments and feedback. The only reason I would sell it would be if I needed the money and because I know that it would go to someone else that would appreciate it on NA.
Super, super, super jealous. Like, I wanna kind of kill you.
And yeah, good on that guy. What a dude. It'd be nice to find out who the backdoor people are as well.
a few months ago I saw one of those for 20 dollars at a disc replay...
and I didn't get it because I wanted the gold version...
i love how the "not for resale" on games has basically turned into "this is now worth more money for resale"
