Very true. Thanks to this thread, I found the lot within two minutes of eBay searching and put a watch on it. OP should've been less specific. OTOH, anyone actively scaning NES lots will notice it. That yellow cart really stands out. So I don't think there'd be much luck of that auction flying under the radar.
Like what Dew said, the timing of this lot is suspect coming off the Goodwill auction. Throw a bid in if you want, but I suspect it'll end with a winning bid of a few hundred bucks. I guess it depends on how much risk you're willing to take. Would eBay cover the buyer if that cart turns out to be a painted Zelda cart? After all, there is no mention anywhere on that auction page of it being specifically a test cart.
I had already and spotted it before the thread, so it was definitely noticed haha
I got a reply from the seller and some "better" pics...they are actually small and horrible but looks like a total paint job to me. If the OP wouldn't mind I can post what I got.
My advise however would be to proceed with extreme caution.
Post the pictures you recieved and any other information received from the "Seller"
Will do! I think the pic of the cart back's tells the story here....that looks a bit too glossy to me haha
Thought I would post my communication withe the seller too: (Edit: Yep, totally played dumb! hahaha)

Dear javaapi,
Cool thanks. Is that Zelda one yellow? That's pretty odd...was it painted or something?

Dear grayscomputerky,
I don't know, it's always been that way since I got it. I would guess so because I've never seen a yellow nes cartridge before
