So for some reason it looks like the previous Zelda Test Cart auction was pulled (the one with the water damage) and now it seems like there's a new test cart on ebay by a different seller. Also, the condition on this one looks better.

Here's a link:

Yup, guess who the high bidder is!

I would like to thank President Bush's economic stimulus plan for that!

What ever happened to not posting auctions for one week after closing time?

Seems like we're letting the rules not apply for special test carts or rare games, and that makes me a little upset.

I thinking thats just on games that would come in under the radar... most of these games that have been posted everyone and they're mother knows about.

Thats just for auctions that have ended.  Aurrently running auctions are fair game.

That is what we have always done K-Han. If it is a live auction it is fair game to post. That way it helps other sometimes and plus it gets NA some affiliate $$$

Problems arise when people are hoping auctions go unnoticed so they can pick up auctions cheap. You post a link on NA and a shit ton of people see it making it harder to win the auction. Speaking from experience here - I post Buy it Nows only as to not step on any toes.

Initially I'd been against posting any listings unless they were 1-week-complete or BIN's, but with high-profile games we'd essentially be the only place where it WASN'T posted. Big stuff that's listed well is going to be high-profile, whether it's posted here or not.

And it's not listed well, you might as well just win it and resell to make some money, why post it here?

But like Jason said, in the interest of furthering everyone's collection, discussing the market and earning some $ for NA, posting active links is just fine, I've come around to that.

Here's another Zelda test cart...not in so great of shape, but hey...it's another Zelda test cart. I can personally endorse this seller, btw...I traded with him (I won't say for what; you'll have to guess, or do a forum search ).
