The question is how will these auctions effect sealed NES games in the future? I think things like this cause things to go up more than something like grading. Grading seems to point sealed games in a negative light, but there has been nothing but positive comments and fascination with these auctions. Will this hype carry over to other sealed NES auctions?
I seriously hope not or I am just about done with my sealed collection. Thankfully, I had almost every title in those 4 lots, but that means nothing if all NES sealed games have a sudden massive increase in value (and interest)...
So Sara you don't know why Happycstar's lots have all been relisted? No money? Thought seller was a scammer? Couldn't agree to terms? Seems odd and I know the first one is a no with this buyer??????
Looking at the questions in the relisted GB lots, though, here is the answer:

Q: Why was this relisted again? Jun-09-08
A: Ebay contacted me and retracted all bids from happycstar due to an account hack or something to that effect. I have relisted all lots won by this seller over 3 days and restricted this ID from bidding further.
Wow...I just showed up and took a look at those NES auctions... $7500, that's a scary figure for that particular lot. With this much money being thrown around...I'm thinking there will be similarly high results for the Final Fight Guy lot.
Happycstar bought both of my custom cartridges and I had a hard as hell time getting a hold of her. She had 3 different addresses and I finally had to call and no one who answered spoke English! They couldnt understand me but I finally got someone on the phone who spoke English and they said she was flying around the world! They couldnt tell me where to ship either but cstar finally E-mailed me back and told me where to ship. The address wasnt any of the ones she had listed either. Kinda weird. She must be loaded or a fraud.

Lot 3 went high and there was a group of us bidding on it (runner up)
I would be surprised if it wasn't happycstar.
That is a LOT to pay for lot 3 (and lot 2).
Those are the most insane NES auctions ever!

... And, as before, I'm very happy I don't collect sealed games
