So let me get this straight... Buy It Now for one cent, but pay $20 for shipping (and pay an extra $1.50 for insurance, which is required, but that's not a big deal)? Last time I checked, it didn't cost $20 to ship a lone N64 cart.
Even if you only pay $21.51, I've still seen this go for a lot cheaper...

Exactly what I was thinking. I almost did it... glad I always check the shipping cost first.

And to top it all off, it looks like the seller is a fan of the Nazis!
Sweet!
Although, it looks like he added one S too many.

He's trying to get around the fees. There seems to have been an awful lot of these kind of auctions lately.

or better yet, some noob will place a bid for 1 penny, without using the BIN and failing to read the terms of the auction, including the shipping charge....oh wait....crap! LOL
BTW, what a name too. Waffen SS. Geez sort of stole my idea, I was going to change my ebay name to Gestapo, now that doesn't sound quite as orginal now. Maybe I'll use the name "Spanish Inquisition" instead.

I am almost positive that eBay will do something about this type of listing. After all they want all the listing and ending fees thay can get, and they make nothing off of shipping costs.
