Hello, and welcome to my first thread in the new auction forum. If it's alright with the mods, I would intend to keep this as an ongoing thread, so as not to cause clutter. Of course, I don't have so much to auction off, so I'm unsure how much this thread would end up getting used anyway, heh heh. The rules, similar to previous auctions of mine, with one change regarding trades:
((1)) The current auction will end at 11:30 PM NA Time (EDT) Thursday, December 3,
depending on when the final bid is submitted. If a bid is submitted
within 5 minutes of the end time, the auction will be extended 5 extra minutes beyond the time of the late bid. All bid
prices will include shipping within the **continental US**: this includes a large box, a bunch of packing material (peanuts, bubble wrap, newspaper...whatever I have lying arond), Parcel Post, delivery confirmation, and an amount of insurance equal to the winning bid. Buy-Me-Out prices will stand until
85% of that price is reached via bidding.
((2)) Bids
are to be submitted via thread posts only, and must be in whole-dollar
increments. Side offers will be considered, and may be submitted via PM
for anonymity.
((3)) Trades
are accepted. One who would wish to use a trade as part of his bid
should PM me, listing what he wishes to trade and what he intends to
bid on, and I will reply with an assigned amount for each item listed
for trade (a "trade figure"). This trade figure will be negotiable to
a small extent, depending on the amount and the items involved. He who
wishes to trade will then reply
with which item(s) he wants to bid on, and how much of the trade figure
he wishes to use in his bid on each one, and after doing so, he may
place a bid on any items he wishes to bid on.
------(3A) Current items I would consider trading for:
Japanese PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP RPGs and/or corresponding limited edition box sets
Stacks of common to semi-rare NES CIBs in 8/10 condition or better to fill out my collection
Pro Sport Hockey manual
Panic Restaurant manual
Mario's Time Machine box

Item #1: NES Test Station w/TV and SNES Add-on
I didn't really want to sell this, but it takes up quite a bit of room, and space is at a premium in my room right now... It works very well, though when I got it a while back, I was told that occasionally the power button on top of the TV needed a bit of wiggling to make it work. I haven't had much of a problem with it, however... All the different areas of testing work perfectly, as does the SNES add-on. Cosmetically, it's in excellent shape...I believe there's a sticker on the RF switch that is connected to it with the location of a certain electronics store in Appleton, Wisconsin. Also, the SNES system shows yellowing, and there is a touch of black paint towards the upper right corner (as you look straight down on it) in the Nintendo logo. Pictures can be made available upon request...I believe I have a small few uploaded here, though I can take better pictures if necessary (if I can find my camera...though I believe I know where it is...). This does have a reserve on it, $650, and if the reserve fails to be met...well...we'll see what I do
A close-up of the SNES add-on. Note the locations of the paint splatter, as well as the yellowing of the system (it's a bit more apparent actually looking at it):
A couple working pics, one with the AC adapter test, and one with the controller test. I believe the menu resembles an NTF2 test cart (if I recall correctly, isn't there essentially a 60-pin NTF2 cart inside a test station?)... Again, crappy cell phone pics here, so there is a bit of glare present:
