IT'S DONE!! MB's NA Live Chat Auctions! Round 7! Imports + strategy guides +...whatever else!
Back by popular demand, and because I figured out something else to sell in this manner, it's MB's NA Live Chat Auctions! This round, I'll be auctioning off several imported Nintendo NES games, some CIB, some loose, and a couple cart + manual. But before I list them, in case you forgot so soon, here are the rules (v1.3):
1. Pictures and descriptions, including starting bids, of all items to be auctioned will be posted herein.
2. Starting bids for all auctions will vary per item, but all will include shipping to the US and Canada (with a small bit extra to be charged if the winner should be located overseas). Insurance is encouraged on all large-value items, and it can be added within the US at actual cost.
3. Bid increments must be no less than one US dollar ($1).
4. All bids must be posted publicly in chat, either with or without the dollar sign ($). No PM bids or private chat bids will be allowed. Illogical bids, such as "eleventy billion dollars" or similar nonsense, will not be accepted.
5. Bidding will end upon completion of a "going once, going twice, last call, SOLD!", as in a real live auction, except as noted in Rule 5-1.
5-1. If three bids are made during the last call and countdown, the ending will be abbreviated to a count of five (5), to last approximately five (5) to eight (8) seconds, during which to place a bid. This count will reset with each bid.
6. Payment, or the intent and arrangements thereof, must be made within 72 hours of the auction ending, and can be executed with either PayPal or money order payable in US dollars.
7. Upon completion of the auction, a record of all winning bidders and their bids will be posted herein, and the list will be posted at the top of the list of auction items.
8. Items to be auctioned which have reserve amounts will be noted as such; however, said items will not have reserve amounts disclosed until bidding is within ten US dollars ($10) of the reserve.
9. No further items will have a Buy-Me-Out option.
10. Your chat username must match your regular NA username (or be *very* similar). For members of other sites, please put your regular username at that other site, followed by the appropriate code thus:
GS = GameSniped
DP = Digital Press
GTZ = GameTZ
AA = AtariAge
PSC = PlayStation Collecting
11. For large-value items or purchases (over $500), I do accept payment plans; however, **I will not ship until payment is completed in full**. Feedback counts will affect my flexibility with payment plans, but it will be broken down as such:
Less than 10 feedback - must pay in full within 15 days.
10 to 29 feedback - 3 payments - must be paid in full in 45 days.
30 to 49 feedback - 4 payments - must be paid in full in 45 days.
50 to 74 feedback - 5 payments - must be paid in full in 60 days.
75 to 99 feedback - 6 payments - must be paid in full in 60 days.
100 to 149 feedback - 6 payments - must be paid in full in 90 days.
150 feedback or a well-respected member of the video game collecting community - 8 payments - must be paid in full in 90 days.
Not from NA or DP? I will investigate your case individually.
12. Have fun, and enjoy the 6th NA Live Chat Auction!
