... but this is worthy of exception I think.

A complete NES package including all 670 licensed games ever made.

I'm not the seller and I'm not trying to advertise, I thought that this was an interesting link and the community would get a kick out of the novelty of it

Wow. Just wow.

Wow, I thought I had a lot at 400+, but JESUS!

Edit: Although I can assure you I spent nowhere near the total that this package is going for.

The price of that NES package is going to rocket on the final day, and it is already worth $5,200 now.

Oh my Dog! Bloody-Mary! Jesy Creesy! Banana fudge sundae!

Mind you, it's quite the price, I think only a hardcore Nintendo fan would buy that, there would only be a few NES games I would buy, only because they're fun, not because I'm crazy.

Wow... My question is, even if you never play the games again, how could you part with such a piece of history... though I suppose if I had half that collection and NEEDED money, I'd consider selling it, but still...

You mean none of the ones that were illegally made--- as most of those games are third party, but licensed and had the carts manufactured by Nintendo.

I was wondering what to do with that spare 20k I had stashed under the mattress but it turns out the seller won't ship internationally

I'll have to think of something else to spend my money on ... wonder if someone's selling a bucket of seaside air on ebay

So far everybody is wrong on the maximum bid. 5 more days to go and its already hit $25k. That is just disgustingly stupid.

My new estimate is ... $40k

If it goes over 40k, well that would be very disturbing.

That's ridiculous! I wonder how many bidders are going to cop out at the end and what the real price will be once he gets through all the stupid people who bid it up for fun. That is just crazy.

Not worth the money man, not worth it, but lucky dude selling them though. He's gonna get a good bit of spending money.

Oh and he's missing Final Fantasy II off of that list, I'm pretty sure that's for the NES.

What you guys fail to understand is that there are people who, unlike all of us, money is really not an issue.

It really is a matter of different referentials: to some people anything under 20 euros is an impulse purchase value and they would pay 400 euros for something they really want. To a lot more people this value halves or something.

To a select few, present company not included , the value can easily multiply by 100. I seriously doubt Richard Branson, Roman Abramovich, the Queen, Bill Gates or those two guys from YouTube would bat an eyelash at these values if they are serious gamers.

click on the "126 bids" link... look at the names of the bidders...

maybe i don't know anything about ebay, but it looks like all the bidders are fake (bidder 1... bidder 12... bidder 51... bidder ##)

Yeah, I thought they used to have an actual username there? Maybe it's an option or something that masks each bidder by assigning a number to them for certain auctions. Unusual.

Edit: And if we open our eyes, we'll notice this useful paragraph of information on the bid history page:

Quote: "As the internet evolves, eBay continues to strike a balance between preserving transparency and protecting our Community of members. eBay has decided to change how bid history information is displayed so bad guys cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to view Bidder User IDs on the Bid History page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, applied consistently to the Bid History page."

Final Fantasy II and III were released on the Famicom, with the US ports of Final Fantasy IV and VI being released on the Super Nintendo as FF II and III. So technically, there was no Final Fantasy II for the NES.

An Atari by itself would get you peanuts compared to this. If you had an Atari 2600 with every game every released on it, then that's the difference. I might have OCD, but not bad enough to desire every single game for my collection

Those aren't the names, if you read the note at the top e bay explains it.

Edit:
Quote: "To keep the eBay community safe and to protect our members from fraudulent emails, such as fake second chance offers, eBay has changed how bid history information is displayed. If you place a bid on a higher-priced item, only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID in the bid history. Other members can no longer view User IDs and will see anonymous names, such as Bidder 1. "

I wonder what happened:

Quote: "This listing (110083483658) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it cancelled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay."


Last I saw it was up to $21k
