*Please Lock* Second Chance! New 25th Anniversary Nintendo DSi XL Bundle!

image

Hail NA Community!

It takes a real man to admit when he's made a foolish mistake, so here is a Darwin-Award worthy blunder from yours truly.The mighty Euripides has made a tactical error! I listed the first (original) auction with the correct ending date, but the wrong time (please read my most recent response in this thread for details). Anyone who may have read this was probably confused as to why it had ended. This is because I had intended its end to be last night at midnight, when instead it had read at midnight tonight! I didn't even realize this until a member brought this to my attention. With this being said I realize many of you who had intended upon bidding were upset at missing the chance to participate, so at my expense I will be starting a second effective immediately. The only difference is this will no longer be a donation auction, but merely an opportunity for those who missed out to have a chance and grabbing up one of these. Same setup, same rules, now with a correct ending time. Why? Two reasons:
  1. A second chance for all those who missed out on the first auction as a result of my mistake.
  2. The winner still gets a brand new limited edition 25th anniversary Nintendo DSi XL bundle!
YES! But, I also wanted this to go into the hands of someone who is actually going to use and appreciate it, so I've taken all the contents out of the box and discarded it. Also, the club nintendo coin redemption card has been removed, I'm gifting it to my beard for Christmas. So, now that  everyone is clear on what's included... here are the rules!
  1. All bids must be made here publicly before the end of the auction at 11:59 PM on Saturday December 11th NA time. No bids will be excepted after!
  2. Bidding shall begin immediately with an opening of $1 with no increment restrictions! But, please do not penny bid.
  3. By bidding on this auction the winner agrees to pay $7.50 on top of the final value to cover domestic shipping, delivery and signature confirmation.
  4. International members outside of the USA are welcome to bid as well, but they must agree to pay the exact shipping cost per their location at auction close. Please do not ask for quotes beforehand, but to help out it will be slightly over 3 lbs i believe.
  5. The only acceptable form of payment will be a paypal gift payment with your shipping address included!
This DSi has never been turned on, it includes everything you see below. And just so I don't get asked later, yes, that is a factory-sealed NFR copy of Mario Cart. So, without further adieu, empty your coffers ladies and gents! Many thanks to all those who bid on the first one and created a triumphant success for NA! Here is a second chance to get a brand new Nintendo hand-held for Christmas! Cheers and Merry Christmas!

  • Euripides is one of my favs on this board! Hearty beard stroke to you!

  • 110 NA ftw
  • Cheers Pete! New bids ahoy!
  • $125 ftw! Cheers!
  • I just woke up from a nap so pardon me if I don't make any sense, but doesn't this auction have until 11:59pm tonight?
  • Good point Patrick, I just now noticed this. This was a typo on my part, a rather foolish large one at that! I meant for the auction to end when it did, but the time was incorrectly marked to end tonight, rather that at midnight last night.
    So, in order to make up for all those who missed out on a chance to get their hands on one of these units as a result of being mislead by my mistake, I'm going to offer a second one up for auction at my expense. This will be exactly the same, only this time it will not be a donation auction (As the proceeds from the previous auction have already been submitted). My apologies to everyone who was confused by my mistake, the new auction will begin immediately and will end next Saturday, December 11th at 11:59 PM NA time, yes I confirm that I mean one minute before midnight next Saturday. Cheers everyone, I will be posting this message in the auction heading as well.

  • Wow, you don't have to do that if you'd rather not Ryan, I wouldn't be offended at all. Honest mistake on a very generous auction. If you do auction off another one I would certainly be bidding. I might beg you to include the box this time though image
  • I really want to bid on this, but I'm weird. I NEED to have the box for all of my systems...
  • No no, I insist. This was my mistake and I intend to offer a fair chance for everyone in the community to participate. Cheers and thanks again for bringing this to my attention!

  • $50

    Include the box for beard pics?
  • $50 to start off!
  • Box is not included so it is keeping me from bidding.



    Happy Bidding!
  • Correct, perhaps something special will appear in the near future after this one is completed...
  • Any man can make a mistake. It takes a great man to admit to, and correct that mistake. Cheers to you good sir!
