Hot damn, now, that's alot of Lightspan games there. My question though, might this lower the rarity of some of the titles?

[TheRedEye]

Do these have cases or what?

Silly Frank, read the auction again.

[Ed Oscuro]

Wow, he's scanning all the (unique) disc labels in! Nice.

[kevincure]

More importantly, a number of these titles were (until now) not listed on any of our PSX lists. I'll definitely contact him for more info.

[tholly]

too bad they are all just in sleves...im assuming that they normally come with a case and everything like that??? or is that how they were always packaged...just in a sleve??

[SegaAges]

well if one of you wants to buy this up, i would buy some some of the games from you :)

[udisi]

no these did not have cases, they only came in a sleeve. unless of course you bought them as sets. then they came in a box with the sleeves in them.

[SegaAges]

i bet if a few of you guys pooled your money together, you could afford this. I have no use for all of these, buti t would be cool to own a few.

I do know that dp has trouble pooling money together for eBay auctions (I had $10 for the castle, battleship, and jet plane). That is old school, I know some of you remember those auctions.

[Promophile]

I second (third?) that motion. If someone is willing to buy this I would love to buy a few games from you at a rediculous, but less than 2000 dollar, price :)

[Dangerboy]

I'm seriously considering buying the lot, since I need a few of those CDs.

All possibilities of purchases have been noted. Most cds would probably be sold off at DP value or less, depending on multiple reasons.

Let's see fi I can sneak a $1,000 purchase past my parents...

[Mayhem]

Well I know I could take it easily and have them shipped to Kris. The only consideration is really getting your money back from selling all the spares!

[delafro]

I'd like to throw in some on this, but with what I could add, it's be basically pointless. Think about this though... you are getting these for less than a dollar a disk. I sense an investment opportunity here.

[jonjandran]

The only problem is that in the last 30 days there were around 50-70 listings for these games at $5.99 and hardly any sold.

With all the E-bay listing fees this would mean the seller probably didn't make anything.

And if you list the cheaper, with Ebay fees and Pay-pal fees you wouldn't make much if any $$$$

[Griking]

'Do any of these CDs have any entertainment value at all or are they just boring edutainment discs?

[Dangerboy]

I'd probably sell them off in lots, mainly away from ebay. I had a small lot (120 cds or so) that went rather quickly here in small chunks to several people. They didn't sell well individually on ebay because the shipping doubled the price of a single cd.

As for entertainment value, it's a mixed bag. Of the few I have tried, most were the FMV click-on-an-image type boring stuff, but there was a cool puzzle like game on one and a racing game on another.

It can't be that hard to sell if you can buy them at 1k - after shipping, you're looking at under 1.10/cd. I'd definitely be interested in buying a copy of each, especially the Write Away/16 Tales/Head to Toe/Every Child Can Succeed sets, if Mayhem or Dangerboy pick it up.

[PapaStu]

Im in for filling in on my 40sumptn titles that ive got so far. DB let me know whats up. You know that my money's good. :D

me too me too!

[delafro]

It'd be cool to pitch in or pick up some of these titles as possible. Count me in as officially interested.

[Dangerboy]

I knew it. The jack...er....bidder that went nuts on me with the last lightspan auction stepped in and waited for a last minute bid. Goddamn it.

That guy has money to burn....

Ah well

Off to go curse a few.

[SoulBlazer]

Did'nt you snipe this one? You know, with three seconds left? I was sure that you were going to on a auction like this.

[Dangerboy]

He didn't post the bid until like, the very last second. By the time I realized he had bid (I was refrehing constantly) and switched to the bid window, the auciton was over.

He'll no doubt try and sell them on his sight for the $10 that he's trying to sell the other ones at. This is the sam eguy that bought like, 2 of the PSX exercise bikes...

[Griking]

If you had actually placed a bid rather than trying to wait till the last second to snipe it you may have actually won it. Looks like it sold for the opening bid.

This is one of those better things that Dangerboy wanted to win but didnt. That PSExtreme is vicious, and would have ended up costing him WAY more in the long run, had he bid on it sooner. Last Lightspan bundle that DB went after it shot up over 400 bucks in the last 5 minutes because of this bidder (I know I watched it go down). He really didnt need that to happen. So he took the chance that and tried to make it cheap on himself. Dont fault him for that.

That PSExtreme is vicious

Lol, what's on my mind, When I saw the winning bidder's name for some reason the "s e x" in the middle stood out and I thought the guy may have specialized in sex related stuff. LOL
