Does anyone have an auction that you lost that still annoys you to this day? Was it for an item your sure not to see again?
I have one, and only one. This was before I started sniping, and I thought it was in the bag

I'm 90 pct sure I'll never see one again too. At least its not THAT great of an item.

Only $5? What the crap!
Great item, though! Too bad more of us didn't see that, for the seller's sake anyway :P

that is unfortunate... thats is such a cool item to have!
never heard about that lawsuit either!
I got one, but at the time I needed all the cash I could get to help fund the addiction, so I used mine. :(

The bad part is that I COULD HAVE WON IT for 40ish or cheaper if I had KNOWN TO SNIPE in the last few seconds.

That is pretty cool, too rich for my blood though. Still a nice item to be had.

Ya, Mine has a different ending though:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8130981967&rd=1
It went for more than I was willing to pay for it. Thought I'd never see one for a long time, and least of all at a decent price.
This little auction appears in one of my searches the other day and ended earlier today:

That's pretty cool!! I have never seen them.
When I was first reading I thought that was fucking stupid that a lawsuit was filed against N because they were overcharging??? Oh yeah, it's there fault you paid $50 for the Zelda pak.
Anyways though, when reading the Certificate it was only $5 towards another game. So basically it was a $5 coupon, so it probably ended up helping Nintendo sell more games.

I don't think that was much of an issue either, as Nintendo wasn't really the only game in town. The real issue was their licensing agreement.
