Yeah that's lousy he didn't give you the manual since you purchased everything else or at least give you a good deal on it. Some people are just all about the $
I'm still surprised even after your explanation that 200 is to much for you ballers!! I mean Phool don't you have two bikes? Also if you need extra funds I might be interested in your mm x3 cib
I was not...I dropped out of the race early on. Even though I do consider myself to be an Exertainment baller, I don't always have the scratch to throw down...
Who sells you something, accidentally misses something and then wants to charge you for it later a premium. I understand perhaps charging you something extra, sure, alright, whatever, but to be a total dick wad. Fuck off.
Sorry to the dude who got fucked originally by this scum.
I was the one who bought the bikes. I refused to be the highest bidder here with all the shell bidding speculation and the fact that it wasn't included originally. I am going through my old pics just to make sure it wasn't in one of them before I bought the stuff... As one reason I bought this was because of the paperwork included lol

I hear ya. I have always wanted one of these damn bikes but they never pop up in my area. Do you own a complete one?

How would you define a complete one? I have both bikes and the games, but minimal paperwork for the 9XS

I guess I don't know enough about it to ask that lol. I'm assuming it didn't come in a box. I always thought it was just the bike and it hooked to ur snes on ur TV. I found out probably a year or so ago that it had the second piece for the monitor and the snes housing. Has some really cool history behind it. So a complete would be the bike, the piece I just described to house the console, monitor and paperwork? Or was there a known box for it? Are there different models? Sorry for the noob questions. I figure your the guy to ask.

I would like to know about this. Ii feel I have an almost complete lifecycle 9xs. I have the bike/Kiosk.... Then I have all those replacement parts (some of them have instructions). Then I have these 4 manuals. http://imgur.com/J9YCR6O I think I am only missing the manual from the auction yes? (Besides I guess mountainbike rally/speed racer box/manual for the game specifically?
While I usually have no problem shelling out the big bucks on Exertainment items, I sadly have been outbid above my budget. However, it would provide me with some nice piece of mind knowing this manual (that was apparently left over from PhearedPhool's deal with this seller) is going to an NA member...
Why on earth did you enter into a bidding war to drive up the price? Wouldn't it have been about 25 times better to just wait it out and snipe it at a presumably much lower price?
Would have been better for the winning bidder, but a totally different person jumped in AFTER me and drove the price over $200, so a bidding war seems to have been inevitable.
Well this item is niche and only had 6 watchers. If it was the cart then I'd agree... Probably 50+ watchers and it is selling for market value regardless.
On an item with low demand, if the bid stays low, people naturally try to bid and win for cheap. You feel like it may go under the radar so you naturally play it slow.
One thing is for sure, if you bid it up then it can't go cheap. If there is even a slim chance that it may stay cheap when bidding is cheap, it makes sense to bid low vs a probability of zero chance.

(Besides I guess mountainbike rally/speed racer box/manual for the game specifically?
As far as the original box, I would assume the 9XS came in something or at least on a pallet wrapped up with some smaller boxes containing the game and instructions. The home version of the 3500 and 3500X did come in their own boxes as I've heard from a different seller on ebay a while back who wasn't willing to sell it to me...lol
I would say that the bike as complete as you could probably get it would be the bike, game, manual for the bike, and then this manual that was on ebay since it was specifically for the MBR/SR sold to gyms rather than the boxed copies most people are familiar with that has a more retail looking manual. I think those copies were meant for customers who had the home versions and ordered it separately otherwise there wouldn't be a purpose for this manual on ebay. The service manuals that Phool has could be icing on the cake since they are in addition to the operations manual and used by the service techs. Unfortunately, my and Crabmaster2000's attempts to track down more information about the Exertainment series has resulted in minimal success talking to LifeFitness directly since the rep I spoke to literally told me "that stuff is ancient!"

I could agree with that. The "manual for the bike" is that not my "aerobic trainer manual"?. If not could you please show me which specific manual you are speaking of?
Also, only thing you forgot is the registration card for the bike (only saying that because I did manage to get that piece lol)

Yeah, I was thinking the operation manual for the aerobic trainer. Registration card is also nice. Then you get into that debate of CIB meaning cart/game instructions and box or complete in box including baggies and registration cards and stuff.
Regardless how many are probably left. This is the Same logic behind the sharp nes TV remote usually going for more then the TV usually barring recent eBay flare ups
so you are saying my sealed replacement parts and manuals are worth more than the bike and mountainbike rally/speed racer cart? Awwwww... yessss All joking aside you are right that the things that get lost are worth more. I think it's more we know the user who is doing the bidding and the item would be quivalent of a leg broken off of NES sharp(damage wise)
Cant believe the price of that beat up manual. I was watching it as well, but did not bid [snipe bidder here] since it went sky high. Pheared Phool, did you get parts for the home version bike? My right pedal is cracking.

Were either of you guys the winning bidders?
