First and foremost, I apologize to the mods if I stretched the sellers' privilege to set their own rules too far!

Up for your consideration is a N64 Ocarina of Time, in good working condition. I've cleaned and tested the game and it works. The only thing is the disturbing threats written on the back by a kid if someone were to touch their cartridge. Not in collectible condition, but a good playing copy of the game! Please see pictures below:





To make this a little more interesting. If the winning bidder chooses, I will fabricate a "trophy label" to go on the back of the cartridge over the unsightly threats. It will probably have the NA logo, "NA Fun Auction #1 - Auction Sniping Champion" or something like that. I don't have any professional printing equipment, so don't expect too much from the label!

RULES OF THE AUCTION
  • Bidding starts at -$0.01. Yes, negative one cent.
  • For this to be "fun", someone needs to be able to get a good deal on a game. Thus, the bid increments are STRICTLY $0.01. Please bid only in WHOLE CENT increments.
  • Bids that go above the one cent increment will NOT be accepted. (Here's your chance to bid $1,000,000 and not be held to it ). If you see a bid out of place, please make a note of it in your post to avoid confusion.
  • To keep the thread chronological, please do not edit your posts. If you mess something up, just post again with what you intended to say.
  • UPDATE: If nobody calls out a bidding error within 10 posts, then the bid stands. I like the thought of being crafty and catching errors and winning auctions that way, but this wasn't my vision for THIS specific auction. I will hold a "crafty" auction next time for this, since I like the idea so much.
  • Bidding closes at exactly 10:00:00 PM NA Time on Tuesday, November 13th. Bids at exactly 10:00:00 PM will be accepted.
  • In case there is a tie where someone bids the same amount at the same time, the first bid that the system accepts will be the winning bid (i.e. post 39 will take precedence over post 40).
  • Remember, all bids will have to follow the ONE CENT increment rule, even snipes, or else the bid will not be accepted. This is where your sniping skills come in.
  • You may bid on this auction as many times as you want.
  • You MUST have fun in this auction.
TERMS OF THE SALE
  • This cartridge will be mailed in a bubble mailer via USPS First Class. Shipping will be free worldwide. Please allow me 2 business days to ship international packages as I need to go to the post office instead of handing it to the carrier.
  • Please pay for this auction via PayPal directly to Dain/NA
Keep this civil, keep it fun, and hopefully if things go well and I don't get the banhammer for something as ludicrous as this, I'll try and run more of these auctions!

I'll start off with a bid of.... $0.00

-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

The 13th would be a Tuesday. Perhaps a bad day to have it end, but I think it might make a dull week slightly brighter!

Edited: I apparently don't know the terms to my own auction!
