Congrats! But damn, would I be nervous shipping this halfway across the world. Good luck, hope everything ends ok!

Are Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior fans this insane? I'm tempted to throw my protos up for 5 figures obo...

Sold for 7150. The first time it went for 8200 but the bidder backed out and so did the next in line via second chance offer. I relisted it and was hit up in a couple hours by the 3rd in line who said he still wanted it for his earlier 7150 offer and I accepted. I just dropped it off at the agency thats shipping to him in japan today and I am glad to not have it anymore, to much stress haha. Also the drama that unfolded when I sold it on a few facebook groups was unreal. So many people talking mad shit about me and calling me a fraud/mad I didnt sell it to them instead, this one guy in particualr was convinced I was fake bidding up the price on ebay and he would not let it go. Talking so much shit it was honestly hilarious to me. I shouldnt be suprised that some retro gamers are very childish but it was way over the top with some of them. Im glad its over. Also it went to a real legit Earthbound collector so its in a great home
Been following this. Sounds like it all worked out and it found a great home!!

Thanks for posting this info. Also for me Facebook groups are worthless besides reminders when stuff goes up for preorder.

Nice to see it all worked out. I haven't really had any desire to sell mine, though I think if I ever did it would probably mean I would be selling my entire collection.
