I understand that some of the games are rare and hard to find but I mean as a whole lot. 7000+ for a sealed game lot is crazy, you know. That's what I meant I was referring to all the lots, not just the NES ones
Definitely frustrating on our side.... in fact, we likely could have put together a few additional lots of unsealed N64, & SNES games, with mixed in sealed GB & VB titles but couldn't be bothered with the hassle. Instead we've thrown these in with the lots that buyers have already won.
There will be one final sealed N64 lot but I have to bring my camera in tomorrow to get some photos of it. The only person happy with the delay of these 11 lots was our shipping dept. who didn't have to deal with each of these simultaneously.
I'll be happy when these are all out of here to say the least!

I'm not going to be bidding on any of these (not into sealed games), but I just wanted to thank you for being so patient. You could have just said "the hell with it, I'm not listing them for a third time," but I'm glad that you're giving the community one last chance to get these. I know collecting doesn't mean much to you, but we, as a collecting community, appreciate what you're doing.
Just a quick update- payment has just been received for lot 14, one of 'wasabisabi's winning lots. I will remove lots 1-3, & 34 if I can finally get in touch with this person, and with reciept of payment obviously. I will keep you all posted as things progress.
Lots 1-3, & 34 will remain up and I'll complete a mutual agreement to not complete the transaction. Not sure if these would have been paid for or not, but there will be a successful owner after Friday- guaranteed!
^ Don't buyers technically have 7 days to make payment according to eBay's terms of service? If so, relisting the items before the full 7 days could land you in a tight spot.
I kinda doubt it morbis. If w. wanted to pay for all the auctions won wouldn't she just have done that? nocl won't be in a tight spot if w. doesn't pay. And besides what's the worst that could happen? A refund and a negative? That's not really a big deal IMO.
We would wait 7 days if need be, in fact some hopfull bidders asked if we would wait up to 2 weeks for them to gather funds which we gladly agreed to. We won't give 7 days to buyers who are obviously online (bidding on our other auctions) yet do not even reply to our inquiries for an update or response to their situation. Ideally, we do not have to take these with us to our new offices as our warehouse space is 1/4th of what it currently is, however we will if necessary.
Any winning bidders should expect to pay over the weekend and have these shipped to them Monday unless they have made previous arrangement with us. (and even then, we'll hope someone who is fast and easy to deal with wins).
I too would like to thank NoCL604 for being so patient with the dealings of these auctions. I'm sorry y'all have had to go through so much just to try to raise some money for charity.
NoCL604 has been world class all the way, even throwing some extra items into my puny little lot of $15 unsealed NES games. Y'all rock.
On a side note, whomever wins "Lot #18" - if you want to sell the Pyramids of Ra game cheap, let me know. I don't know if it's super-rare or not and I'm not typically a collector of sealed games, but PoR is one of my favorite GameBoy games and it'd be cool to have a sealed copy.
Yeah, stupid pricing. I would love to hear from 1stappearance and gorilla the rationale behind their bidding. I have some GB games that I would happily sell them.

I dunno. Yes they are stupid compared to what we're used to but honestly it would take these kinds of prices to get me to think about selling. Adam you know as well as anyone how hard it is to find sealed gb stuff. This is the first time I can ever remember seeing them in any quantity at all on ebay. Usually its two or three auctions at once which is just insanely few.
Our final two auctions are up and run through Sunday; 1 sealed N64 lot and 1 more group of GB Color hardware.
Thanks for all the encouraging advice and assistance over the last few weeks. I'll update you with a total sometime next week once all the dust has settled and we know where we finished.

I'm sure it's frustrating to list the same lots for the third time now.
