That's the most I have ever seen it go for individually.

By the way there is also another one for sale that has been running almost concurrently. Wonder where it will end up?

First one looks like a possible shill to me (new bidder, registered after the auction starts, bidding in small amounts all the time, same country as the seller etc). Actual value on the jacket is no more than $100 to me.

That is too high! who the hell spends that much on a jacket!... i wouldn't mind, but they show up alot each year..

*EDIT* for got to mention this, Starfox FX T-shirt *Auction* Too f**kin high again! i let one of these go for $15 back in april!.. at the time i was thinkin Naaa! more will show up, in this auction the seller says it's got slight wear as well, hell i want it in new, crispy condition for that much.

They've forgotten that you could buy these out of the catalog section in Nintendo Power...or they didn't know...or they haven't cared to bring that to our attention!

Total newbie here.... but what's a shill ??? is that someone who bids only to bring up the value of an auction (say for a friend) ???

Thanks

Exactly. Sometimes, it's even the same person (if they can get away with it).

[Promophile]

Would maybe bid but I haven't something else I have my eye on thats gonna cost me alot (sorry guys I don't want anymore competition on it than I already have, I wouldn't tell my best friend about this auction .

was someone saying that you could still buy these from Nintendo today?

[rpepper9]

I hope the winning bidder doesn't wear it out in public because "You might get beat up". What a dumbass! I don't think anyone whould even know what the jacket was if they saw someone wearing one in public. They would probably think it was just another nerd living in there mom's basement who really likes Nintendo.

Hey guys, I'm someone...I'm gonna order a dozen of these (limit per customer), and if you want one let me know

[SegaAges]

the funny thing is: rpepper is right.

how many people will actually stop a person on the street wearing on of those jackets and say, "Hey! I like your jacket. Did you happen to be a high scorer in the Starfox Super Weekend Competition?"

Um, if he goes to a game expo, yes, but any other day, sorry bro, you just spent 225 on something that will stay in your closet for a long time.

[v1rich]

I paid like $110 for mine and it is sitting in my closet.

Wonder if that same person who won that will bid on this starfox t-shirt?

How?

[Ed Oscuro]

OK, just to clear something up, I don't have any StarFox Competition Weekend jackets coming. Apparently I thought the way I had that written was funny, but it's not.

No deals for SFCW jackets here, sorry!

[farfel]

Why is it wrinkled? It looks like a cheap polyester jacket?

[VGfan]

I have a jacket similar to that one except it has the Killer Instinct logo on the back instead of Starfox. I won it in a Nintendo KI contest. Does anyone know if it's worth anything?

[Ed Oscuro]

Well, since those get virtually no press...I'd wager that's more uncommon than the SFW jacket. Yeah, if there was demand for it, that jacket could be worth more by a ton. As it is now, though...dunno if most folks would recognize it for what it is.
