  • I like how on the cover art on this game the sumo dude is ripped. The designer must of not had his copy to the encyclopedia that day.
  • just imagine an average sumo dude....would be boring!!
  • That got started pretty nicely, should be interesting to see a sales point!
  • it's always a bit risky to put an auction with $1 starting bid an no reserve, but I think the great gameboy community deserves it. a bit thrill, a bit hope that the last bid is enough to get the item.

    i bought a lot of stuff in the last 2-3 months, so I just need the money to get more of it

    I don't see ripped at all?   I see a tubby japanese guy with man boobs.   Which is about right, shrug



    Tubby but muscular underneath.   If anything this random photo I pulled off the net looks more cut than the GB box.

  • I have a factory sealed one if anyone wants to trade up. Willing to take $500 and a CIB version for my sealed ones
  • what does a sealed one might be worth?

    ...why is this tempting me to bid on the listed copy?
  • That escalated quickly
  • not such an bad idea when you are after his sealed one
  • Somebody is after that sealed. Nice bidding
  • I sold my sealed yesterday.
  • You shouldn't write this before auction didn't end.

    Because it hurts "your" auction? Rather them be mad at me than you or something? 



    Doesn't make any sense, I just put it out there if someone wanted it what I would sell it for, heck, you contacted me about this before you even put it up on eBay. 



    I am not trying to be sneaky or anything, I would be pissed if I bought this specifically to trade someone and it was gone already. 



    Honesty is the best policy. I am sorry you don't feel the same way. 

     
  • I agree entirely with DreamTR and the fact you clr2k would not want that writed before the auction ended is entirely shady. 



    It's like you openly admitted to you would be ok to the idea of doing something shady to benefit your pocket. Borderline hall of shameish action.

    We'll leave it to a misunderstanding/languange barrier on our end I suppose. We just did not know you were kidding and what not. 



    I understand what you mean though now.

    Yeah I kind of figured as much, but, you just never know. Some people really are shady, most don't open admit it. I'll give the benefit of the doubt. In the future, I'd never write anything like that, esepcially when it has a chance at legitimately harming your reputation and might cost you bids in the future. Or at least make it very, very distinct, in the end put up (xxxx) or something.



     
  • supposed to add a smiley at the end of the sentence, but it didn't show up for a reason. I made the post via smartphone - maybe a problem of the site?!
  • The sealed game has nothing to do with this auction. He priced checked it a couple weeks back and I said "$600-$800 easy". And guess what, we broke $600 easy. Honestly should flirt with $1k and I've seen them sell even higher in the past.

  • we'll see where it ends. A couple of days ago a sealed Sumo changed his owner in this auction here:

    $2800, i don't know if he agreed to proceed outside of ebay, but then such a nice CIB copy as i have must go for $2k or something around this.
  • It was pulled for a side offer, and diskoboy is DreamTR. It definitely didn't go for $2800 though.
  • ah okay, didn't know that
  • less than 12 hours left! you're all welcome to bid.

    already declined two BIN 4-digit offers - will let the auction run til the end to give you all a chance!!
  • $912 winning bid. Nice sale.
  • thought i did a bad deal not to accept the 4digit offers - both of the ppl didn't bid til the end - strange, but i think the price is okay - goes to a french collector.
  • From a strategical point of view, it's the smartest thing. It's well known to bid earlier is a complete sucker move.
