So I noticed. I am now considering my options and when and if I will strike again. Then again, I'm doing this for you guys so lemme know if it's one of you guys since I'm not looking to get into a bidding war with another gaffer - we're on the same side!

... So you can spend like $50 or something for a $5 game?

I mean, I kind of understand the attraction for people with the money to waste, but still, it's silly. :)

... I did buy a Genesis cart with no label earlier this year though, in a local store. It was an EA cart with the yellow tab, but that's all I knew... was hoping for one of their non-sports games, but it ended up being NHL '96. But the difference is, I only paid like $3, so I didn't mind. But if the amount it's costing doesn't matter, then sure, whatever. :)

If it really is Super Smash Bros. they you'd be saving money at $22.

Alright, decided to try a varation at this. May go over great, may end up costing me a bit in the end if I get no one or a single bigger. Behold...

The Mysteriously Blank Multicolored Gameboy Cart!!!

Since this is mostly in jest, I set it up to have Free Shipping, and 75% of the final auction amount will go to Toys for Tots. I have only left a single clue (I think at least) on the page as to what the game really is, though I may slip up and say what it is before the auction is over or something :lol

But are you going to bid again, that is the question...

Sure, but it's got nearly seven days to go. I imagine the price is going to keep going up, the question is how high.

Playin' N64 games on VC isn't nearly as nostalgic! You don't get to feel the N64 controller, blow into the cartridge to get it to come on, etc.

Well, now we can't expect to get this for a somewhat cheap price now that shitty Rumortaku has glommed onto this. Sucks.

And for the record, my price ceiling was $30 shipped. $30 is the bid right now. :\

I guess you ARE man enough, because now you've gone and bid TOO much. You've forced me to get all 'bro-like' and therefore I am now

1. Giving the winning bidder an extra N64 game, which will also go unnamed (there's a big TWEEEEEEST)
2. Giving 20% of the proceeds to Child's Play


LOOK AT THAT, I'M NOT THE GRINCH AFTER ALL. (HURR DURR)

Hey Dr. Kirby, are you gonna reveal your game after the auction? I am gonna reveal mine.
Click to expand...
Only if a Gaffer doesn't win. If a Gaffer wins it, he should be the one to reveal it to the world!

Also, come on, bid on the GB game! If the auction ends at $4, that won't even cover the cost of the envelope to send the game.

Don't forget, you get a free golf pencil too!

dunno lol

buy a domain
promote it
get a streaming service
ad revenue/referral (linking hottest new games of Dec tied with an exclusive sponsor aka amazon that would cover all of the costs because of the publicity/traffic)
????
profit


bad idea?

Well, they come from someplace. I felt it was rude to constantly take the Golf Pencils from the Library, so I bought a box when I saw them. They should last for school for the next year or two, and be floating around my home for the next two decades.

Q: If the amount goes over $100, will you bump the Child's Play donation to 60-80%?
A: Probably. Who would pay $100 for two N64 games and a pack of candy though? (Yes, a pack of candy is now part of the winnings)

don't ask me for codes
On one hand, I find guessing games fun. On the other hand, what second-hand N64 game could possibly be worth this amount of money? Maybe there are rare N64 carts out there worth much money for collectors, but I think in this case it's kinda obvious it's not a rare cart, and would typically fetch for much less on eBay. The seller realizes this and adds other stuff to the auction in order to feel less like ripping people off perhaps, but I can't help to think the buyer would feel quite a bit of remorse when it turns out to be an ordinary, common N64 game.

Can the OP add my Gameboy game to the OP :lol

If more people don't bid on it, it won't even cover the shipping. Heck, its not high enough to cover the bubble mailer ;-;
