I can't see how someone with 700 feedback would jeopardize his ebay account with a fake auction.

[Nicola]

"that must be mine!"

[Jumpman Jr.]

What did the last grey one go for?

[Nicola]

I was the second high bidder. It ended at little less than 2000. I don't remember exactly.

[jajaja]

Here is the previously auction:

[NESaholic]

Wow this one is already on $820 and 9 days to go,got a feeling this will go mega high.Good luck Buyatari and Nicola!

[mills]

wow

[mills]

Already broke $1,000. I wonder what this is going to end at...

[Griking]

Already broke $1,000. I wonder what this is going to end at...

It's probably up that high already because of this post (139 views already). I'm sure that BuyAtari loves the attention that this post probably drew to the auction.

[jajaja]

How can you tell how many that are watching a item? I thought only the seller could see this. Are you sure it doesnt show how many items you have in your watch list?

[captain nintendo]

Well I am too far away to bump other long time forum members from this. Good luck Adam.


Eventually I will have to buy one of these :/



Edit: And if you dont plan on buying this , dont be an idiot and put in a bid just to say you bid on it. Lets try and keep this price reachable for those who need it and can buy it.
(and yes I have seen people do this) :roll:

[Parpunk]

holy crap....man i would love to have that. i sent him an email asking him how he obtained it. hey any you guys know when the last gold one was on ebay??? please lmk im very curious i saw one like 5 years ago on ebay (a gold one) but i cant quite remember what it went for. i thought it was like 4 grand or something? can anyone refresh my memory?

[the real deal]

I'm not sure about ebay sales for the gold cart,but i know of a private collector to collector sale of a gold copy at a local vintage video game store,it was purchased buy the owner for a total of $7,200 bucks.But this is the same guy who charges you $10 for SMB/duckhunt so he has it to blow.first one i ever saw on e-bay it gives me chills,to bad i just spent $350 of credited pay pal money on a Stack-Up CIB complete with 2 robots.If only they would front me enough $ for this one.

You're Jtrlee/Joycetrlee? I had my eye on that auction just out of curiosity.

As for this NWC, I don't have a pic of #330 on my HD so this one is knew to me *clicks save image as...*

[jajaja]

$1225 aleady :-P
I bet it breaks the $2000 barrier.

[leonk]

Have you guys noticed where the cart is selling from??

CANADA!

That's the first time I've ever seen one selling from outside the states! 8-)

[captain nintendo]

$1225 aleady :-P

Easily...... :/

[jajaja]

$1601 and over 8 days left! @_@

[Nicola]

maybe it's too early for a bid war...what the hell are they doing???

[dieourumov]

It's because 8bit advertised it, more people will see it and know it's there...i had no clue it was on ebay until he posted it, and i never would've looked for it.

[jajaja]

I think it still would break the $2000 barrier even if it was posted here or not. But it got more watchers/bidders when it was posted here of course =)

[Jumpman Jr.]

I can't even fathom why people are bidding on it with 8 days left. Obviously they are going to be outbid.
Freaking people.

[Parpunk]

woah one of u guys won that complete stack up and 2 robots etc.! thats cool i was gonna bid on that but at the last second didnt feel like forking out a lotta cash lol. i was actually planning on bidding $340.00 then leaving it that way because i had to go out last night and wasnt gonna be around for the auction. would you of outbid if i did that lol????

[Nicola]

You know, sometimes I bid early a really low amount just to show that I will snipe at the end...but that's stupid! Maybe the price now will stop and, since it's so high, it may work as a deterrent (it looks like it will go over 2000).

[jajaja]

omg bidwar to the max!
$1875 now and still over 8 days to go.

[Nicola]

That's funny. Completely out of control!!!!

[NESaholic]

OMG @_@ this is going to be a record sale,holy shit that's high already.Nicola still thinking on bidding on this one?

[Darth Vader]

Yeah, its usually crazy to bid up with so much time to go, but my guess is people think if it gets so high it will scare them away. I paid around $1500 for mine, but these games normally go for anywhere between $1200 and $2000. But if you get 2 desperate bidders, thats all it takes for it to go to an entirely different level.

Such as the last Stadium Events. In defense of posting the listing here, if I hadn't someone else would have ... it never fails.

[Jumpman Jr.]

This is insane!
$2,000 allready! I guaranttee you that this auction will cause somebody else to put their copy up on ebay very shortly. That is, assuming it keep going the way its going.

[D_N_G]

Crazy

[jajaja]

Hehe $2550 now

[dieourumov]

I severely doubt that "laurasabd" is a real user.

[captain nintendo]

Freaking noobs. I wonder how many of those people actually intend on buying it. :angry:



I feel sorry for anybody who actually needs this (I will have to get it in the next year :( )

[Vectorman0]

This will end up relisted. Hopefully with some pre-approved bidder thing to keep it under control.

[mb7241]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this tops $3000. Yes, probably by some newbie, yes, it'll probably be relisted, but this will comparatively open the floodgates for the availability of this thing.

BTW, I remember seeing the last gold NWC cart on eBay back in February '03. Went for a $2500 BIN one full day into its listing period (actual starting bid was $1777.77). Shipping on it was something like $25-$30, if I remember right, too (I imagine that included an absolute ton of insurance)...

Edit: I was only 17 when I saw it, and jobless, but if I'd have had the $$$$ on me, I'd probably be the man with it to this day...

[Nicola]

OMG @_@ this is going to be a record sale,holy shit that's high already.Nicola still thinking on bidding on this one?

...and what if the next one will go higher????

[NESaholic]

Hot dang people,i don't wanna know how much i would have to pay when i get it in the future. x_x

[Nicola]

Relisted? Why should it be relisted? There is just one bidder with 0 feedback! I wonder why people with 891 feedback may do this kind of suicidal stuff.

[Emily]

O_O Holy Hell...
Ill never be able to get my hands one one if the prices get even crazier than this!!!
...and you just know they will.

[TEXASGAMEPLAYER]

This kind of shit pisses me off!!!!!!!!!

[DreamTR]

This one's mine. You just watch. LOL

[Buyatari]

This one's mine. You just watch.

We are watching. I'll trade you straight up for that unreleased Arcadia VI if you get it.

Adam

[mb7241]

*reads the price, sees it's above $5000 (!)*

*has a heart attack*

@_@ I knew it was the end of time, but did I need an NES game to remind me?! Holy--eh, never mind ;) .

Edit--w00t! 200th post... :D

[leonk]

Why do people spoil it on eBay like this!??

5000$ !! That dumb ass should be banned. There's no way that a cart goes up over 200% in less than a couple of months!

[NintendoMan]

I can't even fathom why people are bidding on it with 8 days left. Obviously they are going to be outbid.
Freaking people.

Definately, but I think some one them are probably fake bidders that aren't going to pay. I can't believe it's up to 5000 already though if its real! What the hell would a gold copy go for nowadays, probably like $15,000+ maybe.

[Bronty-2]

I wonder if some of these idiots didn't realize the difference between the gold and grey??

..and no way would a gold go for 15k IMO... I doubt this grey is going to be paid for anyway.

[Balloon Fight]

$5,000 bid with 8 days left and the high bidder is someone with 0 feedback? No chance in hell the seller is getting paid.

I also bet that the laura person is gonna be the last person to bid on this.

[SoulBlazer]

I don't understand why the buyer did'nt say that no one with a feedback of under a certain number -- I'd say 5 -- would be allowed to bid without e-mail contact first.

Plus, if he sees shill bidding, ban the people from bidding.

After all, the seller wants to get PAID. He/she MUST know that jack asses are doing this to the item on purpose and has no intention of paying for it.

[NESaholic]

O_O WTF!! This is the most illest auction i've seen this year and maybe in my collecting time.How stupid can you be to bid this high?

[Jed]

Heh. I'm pretty convinced that the 0 feedback person is faking it, but the people who keep bidding higher... that have feedback... what are THEY thinking? I mean, you go in to the bid history, and you see people with decent feedback bidding up over $4K. Oh well. I guarantee we see a few more of these before the year's end, with people thinking they can sell theirs for a lot. And God help us if someone puts up a gold cart.

[Nicola]

btw I am not interested anymore. Buyatari, it's all yours!!

:D

(but if he relist it, be aware!!!)

[Vectorman0]

Look at the feedback of the other top bidder. It's like 93% across 76 feedback or something. Most negatives are for not paying.

[Nicola]

dj_spryte has 102 feedback 100% positive and his top offer was 3600. Hey people, listen to me, this is gray, not gold!

[Buyatari]

btw I am not interested anymore. Buyatari, it's all yours!!

I paid 4000 for the gold one I rufuse to pay close to that for a grey.

[rbudrick]

I have been in contact with the seller since the auction began (gotta love ebay "favorites" searches that email you when keywords appear in an auction title). He seems to be very nice and genuine, and I have pointed out to him the sketchyness of the top bidders. Poor guy...he mentioned he doesn't know a good bidder from a bad, so I sincerely hope this guy doesn't get screwed because of some asshats.

I have been looking for a lis of NWC tour dates. Does anyone have one? There were 30 in all. The reason I ask right now is because, I heard rumors there were some Canadian dates, but I'm pretty sure it's bull. Oh, and he found the cart in Vancouver, which is only 2.5 hours from Redomond. This could be a non-finalist cart, like Ben Smith's (cart could be from a NOA employee)...unless a finalist in the Redmond/Seattle area sold his/her cart around there.

More and more NWC carts are popping up beyond the originally known 116. Time for me to start a new thread concerning this, BTW. I've got some new info beyond the discovered 117th cart I posted about in my Ben Smith interview.

Oh, and for anyone saying it may be fake, it is extraordinarily difficult to fake an NWC cart...more difficult than any Nintendo cart, period, imo.

[Nicola]

I hope so :D :D :D

[Nes]

I really hope that $5,000 bid is a fake. I mean you seriously need to reexamine your life if you're paying $5,000 for a game cartridge. If you have that much money to blow, give it to charity.

well, if the correct price is 5000, then you may think about buying it and maybe selling it in the future with higher value. I mean, if the price is ok or lower than the market value, then you may think about it as an investment.
Not this time anyway.

[leonk]

What if the seller doesn't want to sell! ???

What if they're doing it just find out what it's "worth"...

[8bitnes]

Aha, now we are on to something. Seems very probable that he is the zero bidder bumping up to see how high others will go. Insurance maybe?

[the real deal]

[Parpunk]

Man this is so crazy lol. Hey do any of you guys think its possible to ever find one of these NWC carts up here in West Virginia??

[Parpunk]

Man this is so crazy lol. Hey do any of you guys think its possible to ever find one of these NWC carts up here in West Virginia?? by the way i asked this dude where he got it and he told me "lucky find at a thrift store"

LOL thats beyond LUCKY

[DreamTR]

I just found a Super Spike VBALL NES prototype at some old game store today ! I think that's almost as lucky as the time I bought 5 gold NWCS in a year LOL

[dieourumov]

DJ Sprite upped the bid to $5,100...the real thing you should note is that NESwomen stopped bidding at $1,700 so that's probably your actual value right there.

[8bitnes]

NESwomen typically puts in an early bid and then a big final bid. $1700 was not the highest offer that NESwomen was willing to go although $5100 is probably beyond that.

[dieourumov]

laurasabd overtakes with $5,700.

[jwl]

Whoa!!! This guy lives about half an hour away from me. And he found it at a thrift store, I coulda had it :( I wonder which one he found it at.
