^^^ it appears so. What a pain this has got to be for NoC. They should really throw them up for auction here on NA. I'm sure anyone that would be putting the money down for these would either already be here or would know how to get here.

I got a second chance offer from them and a message from eBay saying that they were 'phishing' for my information.

Would really like to know what's going on here.

Yeah, stupid pricing. I would love to hear from 1stappearance and gorilla the rationale behind their bidding. I have some GB games that I would happily sell them.



I dunno.  Yes they are stupid compared to what we're used to but honestly it would take these kinds of prices to get me to think about selling.   Adam you know as well as anyone how hard it is to find sealed gb stuff.   This is the first time I can ever remember seeing them in any quantity at all on ebay.   Usually its two or three auctions at once which is just insanely few.

That is true but still, the prices make absolutely no sense.  Like I said, by that rationale I should take my crappy sealed GB games and bundle them together when I throw them on ebay and I should get $1500 for the lot.  There seems to be no real reason why certain lots went for that much money when there were no valuable titles in the lot.



Well if you suddenly become Nintendo have so many sealed games at once it makes people's heads spin and then witness a bunch of hype all over every game forum known to man that is exactly what would happen.

But you are just you. Sorry.

I DIDN'T get a second chance offer, but ebay did send me a email saying they may be trying to sell outside of ebay alert or whatever. I think ebay is just stupid, seeing all these messages between NOC and people, plus the relistings and crap. ebay can be so retarded sometimes.

We had a 3rd party access our account overnight and not only end all of our auctions, but send out 2nd chance offers for each of our completed listings (paid and unpaid) as well as list 80+ items for sale under our identity.

While the listings have been removed, and we not have access to our account again I am STILL dealing with ebay customer service to have the 6 remaining lots relisted and set to end today and Sunday. I've been online with them for 2 hours and am now on my 4th rep. - suffice to say I am glad we don't have anything more to auction off!

I'll update you all once we get it resolved as to where exactly these last lots sit.

This is absolutely unreal.

I can't believe the miserable luck you are having.

I know I said it before, but I really feel terrible for you. Ebay has a lot of flaws, but it isn't usually THIS bad.

Best of luck in relisting the lots and with the remaining lots once relisted.

WOW, I was pissed when I saw the two N64 lots had ended AGAIN! Plus then I got that phising email from eBay as well... ARGH! Please let us know when these are listed again as I thought I was winning them both when they ended but it looks like someone popped ahead of me before they got cancelled. I would really like to win at least one of the lots!!

I agree with you all. Nintendo of Canada has handled this really well. The games we won were all in really nice condition. If any of you have any sealed vintage games to sell, please send me a list. It's been fun reading the forum.

I don't know how everyone feels about Video Game Authority (VGA) - www.toygrader.com..., but all of my games are going there to get graded. I'm in front of my e-mail all day, but not on the forums. If anyone wants to contact me directly, please e-mail to [email protected]. Thanks all!

I needed quite a few out of the GB lots, but I wasn't gonna pay $100 a game for them. A few lots, I made bids of $60 a game, but was even over paying at that. There's a thread here about VGA, though I believe most people weren't that big on it.

Wow so you're planning to pay an additional $30 per game on top of what you already paid! Serious collector with some serious cash!

No, I am not associated with VGA at all. I just think that it will help out the industry and make the games more valuable and collectible. I have been scammed by many Ebay sellers, and this should make collecting easier for everyone.

None of the 2nd chance offers were legit. Only the original winners of any of the auctions were sold any lots. Ebay is still useless so we havn't been able to get the account fully re-instated yet. If its done by Monday I will relist lots 1-3, and 34-36. If not I'll put them up here and accept the highest bid I receive for each through PM by Tuesday.

one of the thing i hate the most is someone winning an auction and not paying, that is so low. you should be banned from e-bay for that. i hope things work out for you on these auctions.

Does anyone have a link to the ended auctions?  I haven't read this thread since about page 10, and I don't really feel like going through 18 pages of posts to see how much all these lots went for.  Thanks.
