wow, that is disgusting. I hesitated listing the same i found dupe but hesitated because i though the bubbled label would deter buyers... this looks awful
Wow - that's hilarious. And ridiculous. They have a bunch of other similar lots, with similar prices. I'm wondering if it is laziness, or if it is like a "mystery" type auction.
This guy will try and find you any game for the retro systems for a fixed cost plus 5 bucks.
So pretty much you tell him what game you want and he will buy it for you off of ebay and then sell it to you at a different probably higher price plus $5 bucks?
I bet he adds in the double shipping costs. (The cost he got it shipped to him and then the cost to ship it to you)

Resellers are getting crafty.
That sh*t is funny. So basically the longer it takes him/her to find the game, the more you have to pay ? Should be the other way around, no ?
Most of these prices are hilarious even for their condition. you think after not selling anything week after week this seller would come down a bit... Silly sellers

I like this one he has for such a reasonable price. SMB 3 has to be the poster boy, at least to collector's, for overpriced games. I see way too many of these at prices similar to this guy's prices. But at least I know now I can get big bucks for my CIB copy. Oh yeah.

I'm going to send him a trolling message, asking him if it was a typo and he really meant 9.99.
^^ It's not a lie - this is the special "Appel" version - completely different!
I love the "GREAT condition" line. However, if someone sees the listing and sees the picture and buys this, then...it's their fault if they're disappointed about the condition. At least there is a picture here.
Someone here was trying to sell a game at $400 for two weeks, then when it didn't sell they raised the price $50. That's pretty silly.
Yeah, I noticed something similar with a NES Test Cart on eBay that was up for a while at $650 and now it's at $750!? Also, I saw a Japanese hint book for Maniac Mansion and the price went from $150 to $65 over the course of a few weeks a while ago and when I put an offer of $55 in it got declined and the price instantly went up to $165?! I asked why the price was raised the response I got was "because hard to find". Awesome. This happened two months ago and it's still up there with the price fluctuating between $165 and $100 randomly. They probably just raise it whenever anyone shows interest in hopes that they're desperate to buy it. Im waiting until the price dips back down below $100 then I'll hit the buy it now. My guess is it will of the sudden no longer be available, only to be relisted at $165 again.
For you lazybirds, the title is "Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo 64, 1999) very rare very hard to find" - and it is listed as $40 BIN.
My favorite part is the description though:
"Up for auction is a cartridge only Super Smash Bros for nintendo 64. Great, rare game, add it to your collection today. Thanks and good luck. If game doesn't sell this time, I am just going to take it and trade it, because the video trading store is willing to give 50.00 in store credit, so I do not have to drop any lower than 40, sorry."
