I wonder what the Final Fight Guy cartridge looks like in the black box? Makes me think that the black box FFG were produced first for the retail market but then blockbuster bought the rights to make it a rental exclusive and create their own Japanese/US orange box and the black ones remained undistributed. After all the cartridge label IS black. Interesting..
exactly what I would guess happened as well. Although that doesn't explain maximus' copy and I don't know how he got his
Sucks for whomever was going for BB2. The only other thing I can think of is if someone offered a huge amount of $ for that one lot. However, based upon the responses of the seller, I don't think that's what happened. I also don't think a listing can disappear like that if the seller himself pulls the plug.
I encourage everyone who intends to bid to not pay untill someone local to the seller confirms that these are indeed the real deal. I find it ridiculas that when you are dealing with $20,000+ in games that you can't list decent pictures of the games or create a more detailed listing. The 3 identical virtual boy lots plus listing #1 getting pulled just make it worse.
You know what, that is BS. Just because the auctions aren't exactly the way you like them doesn't mean you should be encouraging people not to pay. Think how pissed you'd be if you were selling something and you had a third party telling bidders not to pay.
they're real, he posted more pics. They only ship to North America, so I would think International bidders would be at a minimum anyway. Only ones with American/Canadian friends that would forward the games.

lol it's easy for you to say becuase you live next door to the seller(s). All i was trying to say is that before everyone bids very high on these it would be nice to see more clearer pictures of the games or to have someone stop by and inspect them. most of the people who will probably end up winning these live overseas or thousands of miles away and dont have any chance to pick them up locally so pictures are their only way of judging the condition of the games. I don't know how you buy but I sure don't throw my money around blindy not knowing what the hell im bidding on and what condition it's in. Maybe for a few hundred dollar game thats fine but for 20K + it's ridiculas.
Guess what its really not your call - you have no business interfering with their auction. Of course they should put up as many pics as possible and/or let locals inspect but if they choose not to do nobody has the right to interfere with their payment stream.
Seems like a couple bids got withdrawn on #2 and #3 ...
My personal take on the whole pics thing... Frankly, I like the pics. I like 'em quite a bit. Now if I had some money to spare (like, say, a few thousand), I could show him I like the pics .
mewithoutyou: asking for more pics is ok too. You dont always have to go with only what's up on the auction at the start.
nes4ever: im sure you have bidded on auctions where you couldnt see close-up pictures of every game youre bidding on. plus, he added some more pictures which adds to the legitimacy.

Kevin, ditch the Weezer and bring back Fiona Apple. This place needs more scenery.
I can't help but laugh at the irony of you making this comment
Touche
Auction #1 is GONE!! I guess it violates E-bays policy on charity auctions which means the rest could follow suit.
oh man. That is ridiculous.
Who knows why it got pulled. I am curious myself. if it was a charity violation, you would think all of the listings would have been pulled...
