Watching some eBay items and came across this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....

It looked like maybe $60 to me. Did I miss something insane or is this just someone playing a joke? I am pretty sure the current bid price is based on nothing at all but I don't see this happen often to listings so I wondered if anyone knew what is going on here.

Must be a bidding war over those sports titles, overpriced imo. Blame the snes bubble, this is the crash .

Given the feedback, it looks like maybe someone stupidly bid $3k and instead of retracting the bid set up a throwaway account to outbid himself?

I was thinking the same thing. Still, hope nobody falls for this crap. I don't know anyone who'd pay 3k for this lot anyways, but you never know.

Can't believe you guys didn't notice that it comes with the unreleased game, "Techmo NBA Super Basketball". The 3K price tag is due to that game having approximately 3000% mo "tech" than the original retail version.

Have any GBA NFR games with back stickers for sale or trade?  See my want list below :)

When do the bid increments jump to $50?
