Your eBay account is fine.  It's pretty easy to figure out who buys what. ]]> Dragon Warrior IV http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=36572 2010-08-25T16:47:33 -05.00 Retroscribe81 80 Dragon Warrior IV http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=36572 2010-08-25T16:45:51 -05.00 Retroscribe81 80 Originally posted by: jonebone

This probably would have gone higher if the start bid wasn't so high, but I'm a bit skeptical that this game is "worth" $1-2k in this market. Sold for $500.

The DW CIBs have tanked from their values a year or 18 months ago, maybe the sealeds have responded accordingly.




Yeah, I really expected a bit more.  If I didn't buy so much stuff lately, I would have held out and hoped that the "buying season" would have yielded more $.  I've just been finding deals left and right lately!!!

But, I look at it this way.  I paid what works out to $12.50 for the game.  I just made well over $400 in net profit.

AND - it's in a good home now, I'm glad it went to a NA guy (keeping it private, though).


Man this is going to be slabbed and put back up on ebay within a month with a HUGE price tag.


Exactly.  I'm not going to call him out since plenty of people do that on other boards, but I'm 99.99% sure that this isn't be kept for his collection.  So we don't need to pretend "that we're glad it went to an NA guy" because we're going to see it right back on the bay at some point in time. 

At least he does keep his buying and selling accounts separate so it "appeared" to go to low feedback collector rather than a high feedback reseller.

Another NA'er offered $1200 but that fell through.  Another NA'er offered $1000...again, fell through.

Sorry, didn't know the buyer's "reputation", so to speak.  Like it has been said, I made good money so I don't care.  If he can make money, good for him.

I live in an area that has, in the past couple years, completely gone to shit.  There have been numerous break-ins within a couple blocks of my house. 

My house was even broken into once many years ago...it is assumed that the would-be burglars were strictly looking for copper pipes (I don't have any) - because not a single damn thing in the house was taken/touched.

I guess that's what I get for being one of the 1% of decent-income households in my neighborhood.  Maybe it's time to move.

That said, I hate keeping stuff in my house that's worth anything.  I've also mentioned that I've been finding SO MUCH good stuff lately that frankly, I needed more cash.  Just spent the vast majority of my reselling earnings on a new car, so I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out.

This sounds like an idea to me.=free games!

Haha...already cleaned him out of the CIB/sealed stuff.  Also struck a deal with him to sell all of the video game stuff for him for commission.  It'll be listed here soon pending Moderator approval (I want to create a 2nd User ID to separately sell the stuff from my private stash)

well 500 is cheap.   shit I would have paid more than that!   should have let people know about your plans

when I saw the 2k asking price I figured it wasn't worth bothering.   500 is the five years ago price.



Indeed, I too would have bid more than $500 on it. I don't know why I missed it, that's the kind of auction I'm watching all the time.
