Thanks guys. Dutch, I like your idea, and I also like the way the Classic Serie looks... Anyone have one up for trade?

That's exactly what I plan to do when I acquire the test cart. Only I'm putting my sealed copy in there. Not sure if yours is sealed or not.

Nope just an empty nice-grade box. I was toying with the idea of taking a crapped-up gold one, hair-dryering the label off to keep it nice, and removing the paint to have a "black cart" inside there too, if I can't get the Classic Serie then it might be worth the time.

I have a few old tricks for removing paint from plastic from my Warhammer days...

nope I just wanted something significantly different than the other three carts to replace the tips/map sheet, and even though the Pal carts have slightly different labels, they're just not significant enough for me to want to put them in. The Classic Serie is a grey cart, it's just got the gold Mario seal...aw hell here's a link The shield/crest is significantly smaller on this than any other Zelda, so it stands apart, especially when viewed next to the USA -1 grey which has a larger logo than the gold/yellow labels.

Oh, I see. The test cart isn't enough for you. You have to invent your own carts now!

Bastard.

Thanks One, and welcome to the boards! I think one of the things that worked to my advantage was that the seller required immediate payment, so if any of the first seven viewers didn't have Paypal, or were just slower than I was at completing the transaction, they could have gotten to the "Pay" button too late.

Also, I think a lot of early pageviews on eBay (correct me if I'm wrong, gurus) are sentinel bots that some users have active to auto-browse auctions for specific keywords (Stadium Events, for instance). So it could be that no human eyes were set upon it. I've noticed pageviews almost immediately on even the dumbest items that I list, it can't be noobs hounding new BINs and seeing what comes with that copy of Excitebike I just listed, or whatever. Not every time?

I was most worried that someone would have just missed scoring it, and would poach it. All it would have taken was a PM: "I'll give you $100 if you don't sell it to me instead of dangevin" and that would have been that.

There's more than just the luck of finding it that came into play here, for sure.

After about 24 hours in a chemical bath, some serious hair-dryer-label-removing action and a little Krazy Glue Fu, I now own a Black LOZ as well. The diarrhea is complete. Diorama. The diorama is complete.

This print is pretty sweet, if you can't tell in relation to the filing cabinet, it's a full 1/2 page (8.5 x 5.5) and features Wally Bear, Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde and many other roasted game licenses. Personally signed in sharpie. I feel quite honored Will be seeking a frame of course, this is gonna be great on the game shelf.

A little free advertising for him for being so nice: His DVD is out now for those who don't know, at http://screwattack.com/merch.html... - check on it!

Wow, that's really cool. I like AVGN even if I disagree with him a lot. I do dislike all his copycats though.

That is a SWEET poster, but I think AVGN is a one trick pony. He says the same shit about every game.

I don't like him very much at all, but it is a neat pop culture item. It might actually be worth a few bucks in a few years cause he is so well known. What is his ebay s/n?

Yeah I agree Jason. Never really liked his shtick, but that's a pretty cool thing to do for selling him a game. Just sucks that he's gonna roast ANOTHER of my favorites

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

Well, ask him not to resort to cursing left and right...if he roasts it for it's ACTUAL flaws, it's not that bad.  If he's just using foul language for cheap laughs like some of his "reviews," then I'm gonna be pissed
