Found this funny. For those who sell on Ebay, go and do a product search like you're gonna sell POW for the NES. The description for the game has this lovely gem which explains what the game is so vividly:

"Cleaned and tested. Original game was switched out from a worn cartridge and put inside a white aftermarket cartridge. Caution sticker says replacement label on it. No box, instruction manual, or dust sleeve is included."

At least they're upfront, but still, $55 for a game that usually goes for $35?

He said the games are rare because they have gold plated contacts and that he'd throw in a copy of Tetris. It's probably a troll post but whatever.

LOL. So the price is more than doubled because of gold contacts and Tetris? hahahahahaa

Also, "SERIOUS and MAN offer"? That's a very un-European thing to say. Is this guy a redneck from the US? lol

I'd offer 300 Euro (postage and all) to the US. Sounds like a good "manly" price to start.

Bought 11 opened DS games from some big Amazon seller. On maybe 6 of them, the seller put packing tape from mid front to mid back by way of the front right side. One was even wrapped completely around for extra measure. No idea why one would think to do that for games worth a few bucks a piece. 

Not even beginning to mention the giant stickers they place on the exterior for their inventory purposes.

Majora's Mask 64 Not for resale Gray cart, as a REPRODUCTION. This shit pisses me off. This game is so rare and should never have made it to the repros, but it looks like it happened. I'm glad I got rid of mine while I could. I know a few other members here that had one and sold theirs as well. Buyer Beware

Is there anything more douchey than a best offer listing where the seller counters with the BIN price (or one cent less) when you make an offer?

So I clicked on that link to see what it was, and I happened to be signed into eBay while I did it.  Just now I received an email from eBay asking me if I wanted to "take another look."

LOL @ seeing my titles and descriptions being copied by other UltraHDMI sellers  

I try to add "ultra hdmi nintendo 64 nintendo64" when the character limit allows. Looking at current and recently-ended, I see other sellers have been doing that too.

[edit]
LOL! This one has the exact same title as one of mine:
"Ice Blue UltraHDMI N64 + IGR, matching controller, ultra hdmi nintendo 64"
[/edit]

At least one of them has a brief description done in the same style as mine (with paragraphs after bold descriptors). Kinda mangled though.
