    oh man! a factory sealed Dracula X!! I would have put in a 500 dollar bid on that one. FUK! that pisses me off if i knew it was there, why couldn't the guy just put snes or super nintendo in the title. Then again, that would have reached more collector's and he would have gotten alot more than 200 dollars.

    WOW I agree with DJ if only he put SNES he would have gotten a ton more. Drac X sealed alone is worth 500, easily. Holy shit.

    seller lost out on 500 bucks, easily.

    I think he could have gotten 700 for the whole dang lot

    man that sucks i was gonna bid really high but the guy only has like 8 feedback and i got a little worried thinking he might be a ripper. but if all goes well the other buyer should be getting a great deal. plus i was a little sceptic on the seal on the dracula x, the guy told me he used to work at a game store that would gut games and reseal them, but he claimed this seal was original. lol?

    No doubt. You could've bought that whole lot and made all your money back and then some by selling off that sealed Dracula X.

    The dracula x has a sticker (inventory of some kind) inside the shrink wrap, it's almost certainly a re-seal.

    That said, a member of these forums bought a mint dracula x in condition similar to that and resold it for $250, making over $140 off of me.

    You lost out, I would have bid up to $300 if I knew about that just to get back the game I miss.

    I noticed the same thing, but it only looks like its on the inside on the pic where the game is laying down. After looking closer i'd say its on the outside.

    I am sure the seller has been contacted with higher offers after the listing closed, it may be the buyer who ends up getting screwed in the end

    yup that would include me. For some reason he told me that he didn't ship out the items yet.

    no offense but tsk tsk. Seriously, man... the high bidder got a top deal. It was the seller's fault for not putting SNES.

    If I won that, and some yay-hoo contacted the seller to buy it at a higher price I'd be freaking pissed as hell.

    Have a little integrity. The guy got a great deal, tip your cap and let him have his moment which he earned.

    Again, no offense or malice intended. I am not the high bidder nor do I know him, but I just find it a bit sleazy to contact the seller and say "look, I'll offer you 600" or whatever. I just find that morally wrong. But maybe that's just me.

    Agreed 100%. Don't screw the winning bidder over because you didn't see this till it was too late.

    no man you misinterpret me. I didn't call you a yahoo. Granted, it looks like I did, but that was not my intention. When I posted that I was just a little peeved. I apologize since you interpret it as me calling you a yahoo, which wasn't my meaning. All I'm saying is, I think it's wrong. That's all.

    As sad as it may be that you don't get something you want, that's just how it goes.
