Some girl told me she has this blinky lights cart, I guess its kinda valuable.  If you really feel like it you can bid because its free worldwide shipping.  Isn't that amazing?  This auction is so boring that I will accept most forms of payment (cash, paypal, cc, trades for CIB SE).  Cart and all LEDs work, printed card is included.  Those yellow LEDs are so lame!

Cart isn't mine, and I will make no money from it, but I will be handling the payment and shipping.  Cart is now in my possession and has been tested here.

Auction ends at 10PM NA time.  Posts with 10:00:00 are good, 10:00:01 is too late!  No extensions, no minimum bid increments.

Is it true that all the 08 cards are custom message cards? If so what is the message in this one. If I'm mistaken than disregard . Thanks

This is the highlight of the year for me. Good luck everyone!

Does it have a message on it?

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

The order page sure implies that. Then again, some may have been blank..

Lmao!  Btw to answer people who asked about custom text I think every 08 have a personalized message . Anyone that owns it feel free to correct me if I'm wrong .

Even Fight Club had more rules than this auction.

I bid $600.05, that is Six Hundred Dollars and Five Cents. Australian Dollars and not a cent more.

Pretty sure the current exchange rate is ~1AUD = 0.88USD.  Meaning your bid is around $527 US and not valid.

Zoinks! A 2008 Xmas cart is actually for sale?

It took me over a year + help from NA Secret Agent  Jon Solo, a HUGE sum of money and an EXTREMELY GENEROUS  (and intoxicated if I remember correctly) KHAN Games to obtain one of these rare unicorns.

A few things to keep in mind if you are on the fence about bidding...

- (mysterious rumors) claim that only 50 of the 2008 carts exist.
- Up until last year, just trying to figure out who even owned one was next to impossible. (The "Show Off your Complete 8-bit Xmas Set" thread and NA "Christmas Tree icon have helped solve that issue.)
- Nobody, ever... Will find a unopened pallet of these games somewhere. What's made is all there is.
- You can now find owners yes, but getting them to sell is probably going to be difficult. 
- blinky lights!
- Christmas Tunes!
- The next time one comes up for sale may very well be to cover my funeral expenses. If you want the hardest to obtain copy to complete a set, here's the last chance you'll get for a long time.

Bunny made a line of really cool, really unique games that are available for a limited time each year.
This copy is the grandfather. 

*** I'd like to add that this "game" is really for collectors only. It is not really a game at all, it's more like a digital Christmas Card. It's very well done and you can change the music with the controller - but it is not technically a game.

Keep that in mind when bidding.

Who's selling this game, bunnyboy or commander santa?

Any rules? Snipes? Time extentions for last minute bids? Increments etc. Or just let all havoc run rampant?

Bunnyboy is selling it for someone he knows . No extentions from what believe since its not in the auction rules . No set increments .
