Yeah, this has gotta be the most impressive set of auctions ever listed at once. I know I will be bidding, for sure, but it remains to be seen how outrageous the bidding will get.

The totality of all auction lots is the most incredible spectacle I've ever seen from one seller. I'm definitely biased towards factory sealed stuff though.

:sniff: all these games... just bring a tear to my eye... sorry guys, I'm getting all choked up here.

All the action is gonna take place on these few auctions. I've never seen something like this before. The guy probably received tons of offers by now.

maybe this is just bronty playing a trick on us all!!! and if this really is nintendo of canada, why did they do such an ugly job with the auctions? and no game titles in the description? strange, but who cares, those pictures are amazing.

i am not 100% sure, but i believe the canadian releases of these games ARE the united states releases. there are no differences. i have a factory sealed little samson i got from mexico and it has a price tag from some random spanish named store. it is the same as the usa release. i believe the canadian games are the same way except for a select few, none of which are in these lots. can someone confirm this?

Yeah but there are only a few games where the CA releases actually had different/bilingual packaging. I believe most of the ones up for auction are identical to the US releases.

I believe that you're right. Only Black Box games and some other popular titles developped by Nintendo had their canadian counterparts.

Well, -can could explain the black box Final Fight Guy in there. The US one was only at Blockbuster, in the orange box.

I hope you have some very deep pockets!

I believe Maximus Clean also has a Final Guy sealed in a black box... I wonder if his score came from Nintendo of CA?

Not really, but I'll take my shot anyway   Besides, the stuff I really want isn't the stuff most people here are interested in anyway.  I say we get a bunch of people here to form a group to buy this stuff this way we all get the games we want and we prevent bidding against each other.  Now that I think about it, that's actually a really good idea.  Who wants in?

If a bunch of people go in on the lot with breath of fire 2, I'll pay for Breath of Fire.

Yeah, the Dragon Warrior I and IV would be the only games of any of those lots to garner any interest from me. Unfortunately, I'm a bit short of funds for that at the moment :/ .

^^^ DW IV is the sole reason why lots #3 and #4 are bidding so high. I think you'd be best off winning the entire lot yourself, and auctioning off the other less significant games to recoup some of the cost.
