    Default I can't believe nobody has bidded on this. 7 hrs left

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE%3AIT&rd=1




    I normally don't post any of my Ebay auctions on here, but I'm a little bit amazed that nobody has bidded on this. There are only 7 hours left, and most likely somebody is going to come in with just the minimum bid and snag this thing.


    Is there some way for me to end this auction early?


    This auction includes my only complete NES game, Win, Lose or Draw. It also includes Raid 2020 by Color Dreams, Tecmo Super Bowl and Ninja Gaiden. And those are just some of the games. That doesn't even take into consideration the NES system, and the NES Advantage joystick and the orange zapper, etc, etc.


    I thought I would get at least $30 for this, I guess NES stuff ain't worth as much as it used to be.

    Yeah I don't know what's going on. I've noticed a decrease in the prices of NES systems and most common games. It seems that SNES is becoming more collectible nowadays.

    Not without being a dick. Sorry to be rude but it was the first word that came to my head that describes someone who'd do that.

    If you weren't willing to sell the system for your opening price then you should have made your opening price higher. Either that or you should have put a reserve on it. Sure it sucks that it's not selling for a higher price but those are the chances you take when you sell things on eBay.

    How would you feel if the roles were reversed and you had your eyes on an auction that seemed to be overlooked and then the seller pulled it at the last minute because he expected it to sell for more?

    The enter key is your friend! I do not like reading through long descriptions like that.

    May the gremlins of last minute bidding smile upon your auction :P

    I bet you get some last minute action. (hopefully)

    i was going to bid until i saw the paypal stipulation. i got burned one time when i funded paypal with my bank acct. I only fund it with cc now. oh well. the final selling price was reasonable.

    Someone got a good deal. The price of NES packages have been falling a bit in just the last year (as far as I've noticed anyway). I could consistantly sell a NES with 2 controller, a zapper, all hook ups and a SMB/DH cart for $40-45 last summer. That was the BIN price.

    This is too bad becuase I have another small package to put on. :/

    wait until christmas. they sell easy, 5 games, cleaned (or new) 72 pin connector, hookups gun and two controllers for $75 BIN and if they don't get taken on the BIN's they usually end up around 65-70.

    The past tense of bid is bid.

    By saying things like "I can't believe nobody has bidded on this" and "any complete NES game is valuable", you're lucky you got anything at all.

    Why are you all being so hard on this dude? Calling him stupid and a dick and so on. If you ask me you're the dicks.

    But yeah it's really unaccptable to end an auction early because you're not getting what you expected. Sometimes you get much more than you expected. One time I was selling a like-new Nomad on eBay. Someone emailed asking how much I would take to end the auction because I had no BIN. I told them $150 and they decilned. It ended up selling for $305. Pretty nuts.
