How dare you out bid me!

Auction #3 - Final Edition
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8161433791

That's it, I got nothing.

Good luck to everyone. :)

ED:
After talking to some people in the forum, I may actually look into seeing what it would cost to make some of these up. Response so far seems to be preety good. I may have found my niche. :)

Jason

[djbeatmongrel]

nah. I already cancelled it ;)
reason:
"The item was lost or broken"
Ahahahahahahaha

By the way, I've put in a bid for an auction.

Dangerboy, those posters RULE. I'd love to have the "ruin a $150 investment" one, personally. If you're actually gonna produce those, let me know 8-)

Also sent out a question about the double jump upgrade ;)

about that same poster, is it true they re-released it? the only reason i am asking is becuase the other day i saw Final Bout Brand new at circuit city and i double taked on the find, then i looked at the release date due to disbelief and saw the year 2004 on it. i thought i might have been the wrong DB title.

[long_shawn_silver]

Yahoo!! My auction made it full term without getting pulled, How I don't know cause it was filthy rotten, but it made itwith 116 veiws!! Not bad for 24hrs!! LOL

[Dangerboy]

djbeatmongrel

Yeah, Atari (Infogrames) re-released it at the $15 price point too many years too late. They couldn't even be bothered to change the (C) data on the actual program. When you boot the game, it still Says 1997 Bandai. :/

Yes.
The top DBZ is the original release that had an incredibly short run and would pull 150+ any day of the eBay week. However the lower copy is the atari September 2004 re-release that has basically killed the market for the game. Where there were once 5-10 on eBay at any given time, there are now truly very few.

And jason, that final acution. Priceless. LOL LOL LOL

[digitalpress]

UPDATE: I've got all of the auctions to date archived and also have officially "split a gut".

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Just so you know, the 'Crystal Pepsi PS1 Game' auction was posted on Total Fark, for those of you who know what it is. I looked at it, looked in here, and saw that qurjerk (sp?) was the highest bidder and knew it was one of these.

[digitalpress]

UPDATE: all auctions to this point have been archived. Just a few days left, peoples!

Thats a pic of my ex-girlfriend, She's a chick I was with for a while for about 3 years before meeting my wife. The Caged chick although a stripper, still pretty hot all in all. I was with her when I was still doing porn movies & nude modeling back in '97. :P

It kinda spoils the whole "Insane Auction" idea when you tell everyone that its a fake auction outright. To quote another person's words in this thread

"if it's done right you won't need to worry about getting any bids"

Kinda takes the fun out doesn't it?? :/

I don't think so. It's still fun. Coming up with ideas and making them.. seeing others ideas. All fun.

Sunday's the deadline... if you're on the fence, this would be a good time to hop over.

Mine got a question too which accomplished my goal of having someone interested or confused enough that he/she felt compelled enough to ask.

Only bids from DP members, but my pepsi one was featured on Total Fark.com :)

I'll have to post them as HTML somewheres, then.

[qbertandernie]

i think the kitchen or crystal pepsi have it, but heres my effort.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8162184592

[yuppicide]

I had a similar idea to the kitchen one before he posted his. I am still planning on doing it, just haven't got around to it yet.

I had a lot of fun doing this, I hope you all enjoy it. Good luck everyone!

[Mattiekrome]

Lol, lots of funny stuff here guys... All are quite creative. I even made a post about Dangerboys crystal pepsi game earlier before I ever looked in this topic... keep em comin LOL

[Jibbajaba]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8162184592

Besides my own, this one made me laugh the most. Not just the system, but the controller and the included game. Funny Stuff.

[Charlesaway]

Seems less funny now that I've seen the 'intendo top loader' (Very nice!)

Sneaky, eh?

I was wondering when someone would try to do that with real dogbones. LOL

[SoulBlazer]

Not to nitpick, but 'dogbones' are normaly the slang given to the newer style NES controllers. You have the originals in the pic. :)

You know you want them. And I will actually ship this if someone buys it.

My other idea was to sell a pepper shaker as three-use food repellant, but this is my final entry. Good luck everyone.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I'm feeling cynical today:

Did you not notice the actual dog bone chewtoys?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8160780440

Two more questions came my way but it was too late to post them to the public so here they are:

#1 Anyone can take apart a NES system. so you do that, take a picture and say it's "one of a kind"?....thats low

RESPONSE: The above question from FLAMARLINER is not a question but rather a statement. Oh, and this is not a normal auction to be taken seriously, but rather a joke among friends. The winner still will receive everything as described though.

#2 Your a complete rip-off....50 cents for screws, 20 dollers for a screw driver, everything's over prised. and all you want people to do it put it together

RESPONSE: The 50 cents for screws is to cover the effort in bubble wrapping each one. Nobody wants a screw to arrive bent and unused. FYI: prised=priced and dollers=dollars and this auction=A JOKE ON DP

I've got bids too!

[Sph1nx]

Here's mine:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8162544008&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

[qbertandernie]

my 'question about shipping for this item"

sent by one : uncle:grandfather

'$40 shipping? oh come ON. lame.'

copied and pasted. probably disappointed he cant get a 'top load intendo' on the cheap!

[classicb]

Here we go. What else could I do.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8162602982

[digitalpress]

Contest entry is closed at this point.

I'll whip up a screen where all of thse can be accessed; voting instructions forthcoming!

[digitalpress]

For those of you who entered - if you've got a lot of hits, bids, or really ANY Q&A on your auction that might not have been captured when I originally archived it, send your auction link to me at digitalpress@email.com and I"ll re-archive it.

The voting process will get set up this weekend, should be a lot of fun!

Stay tuned.

[digitalpress]

A bit of a delay due to the snowstorm up here where I converted my web content time for snow shoveling time :(

Should be good to go in a few days.
