Touche.  Also, virtually all of mcesenpi's auctions could be cited.  Not necessarily record highs on each but did way better than I would have ever expected.

Full disclosure, public data on Rampart for GB is pretty sparse.  I knew it had some good value since I sold a CIB in February, but I didn't expect a Sealed one to get this high.  I figured $350-$400 tops.

Rampart (Nintendo Game Boy, 1992) Factory Sealed
Winning Bid: $655.50
End Date: February 14th, 2016
Item link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rampart-N...


I had bid about $350 on it but the the top bid whooped mine

A couple more Gems that are going to leave people scratching their heads.  I did message the seller to confirm all are legit sales and paid for.

Kid Icarus NES Nintendo Complete in Box. CIB
Winning Bid: $510.00
End Date: April 17th, 2016
Item Link: http://item.ebay.com/152049696520...
This was at least a pretty nice Hangtab box, but still $500+ is crazy.



Metal Gear NES Nintendo Complete in Box CIB.
Winning Bid: $287.00
End Date: April 17th, 2016
Item Link: http://item.ebay.com/152049695205...
And no real explanation for this one... all of this seller's items did pretty well.  These were the two best one though.  Zelda Non Rev-A also broke $300 but that one isn't as much of a shocker.

Damn. This stuff is scary. I worry about monkey-see-monkey-do scenarios. Glad I'm selective about CIBs and not trying to go after many.

Yeah don't post auction links until 2 weeks after they're completed, per what Jone literally just said like 5 minutes ago.

He also said "if we still adhere to that". Guess we do.

I can only assume rules don't change without an announcement of some manner, so yeah, I'd say we do.

Are you, and if you are, why, are you being snarky? Now I know. This was a way for me to find out without looking for this rule. Yes? Where are these rules written? If you could provide a link I will review them veeeery carefully.
