Reasons you MUST BID NOW:
**origional shape (rarest toaster design ever, only 1000 made L@@K)
**$80!!!!!!! R@RE!
It's a video game system listed in Desktop Computers (erm, nevermind that part...)
"no ship to po box or to ca."
--WTF?
None of this makes any sense.

He revised the description since... but not the part about no shipping to po boxes or ca (California or Canada?)

He hasn't revised it, I just re-wrote his points :)
I missed the part about the box being "origional" as well as the system...that's pretty darn impressive! And you thought the orthogonal NES was something to write home about!
For a point of reference, I bought a non-origional but complete and near perfect boxed NES (early model, no pack-in) for $40 at Goodwill...and Goodwill's prices aren't really as cheap as they could be.
Go flog him with that Burger Time manual, he deserves it :)

Usually when they don't ship to PO Boxes it means they use a shipping company other than USPS (Fed Ex, UPS, Airborne Express, etc.) Can't say if CA means California or Canada though.

:above me: I love it!!!
Of course the bidder should have his account suspended for interfering with someone else's auction but it's still funny nonetheless.

You should bid against yourself with the "too much shipping charge" name on the NES.

way to go, Dave! Let's see if that gets the message across, especially where that SMB3 auction is concerned.
BTW, going back to the NES auction, if the seller means that he doesn't ship to Canada, then he contradicts himself as it says underneath that he ships to the US and Canada. If he writes that, would he be obligatory to accept to ship to Canada?

I did not see that... that is too much! Looks like a bid when I wake up tomorrow is in order.
Ladies and gentleman, I think I've found my calling.

Dang. When you first said you were going to make that ebay name and do that, I didn't think you would so I was going to. Too late. thats pretty funny though.

Normally I would be sharing the hatred of all things Bing, Zing, and otherwise, but I have to say that is awesome, Portnoyd.
Please do respond "I'm Batman," too :)

Yeah, and not only did you quote his whole post, but you didn't edit down your double post! Oh well, editing is very slow. Why does it happen? People get careless.

It seems to happen quite often when there's a lot of server lag occuring.

Yep, and I'm not free from being careless myself :) People are used to clicking links twice to re-establish a connection and get ahead...that doesn't work well with this forum system.
