Is something rare here that I just don't see?

Lynx Game Lot Auction

 

I thought this went extremely high

though I do not consider myself an authority on Lynx games.

Am I wrong? Any input appreciated as I just find this end price pretty high.

I don't see anything really rare in that lot. Perhaps people were after the blister pack... they are harder to find than just the regular boxed games. But in my opinion, nothing in that lot justifies that price.

 

Warbirds and Ms Pacman are the only real 'rarity' type games in that lot. Perhaps it was bumped up in price by newbies and their stimulus checks. Not really sure.

Maybe the rare ones are the ones whose labels make a ringing sound? ("pealing")

man....

 

time to sell my lynx stuff, and a boxed falcon =P

First off, the high bidder is from Taiwan? That's suspicious right there.

 

Then the second highest bidder has a bid activity of 15% with the seller. Suspicious!

 

My first thought was that people are throwing around our useless USD like funny money, but now I think this was a shill.

 

There really should be an eBay service called uShill where you can program last second bids to raise the prices on your items.

Well this is what I was thinking, Shill, but you are the first person to mention it.

Theres no way I pay that for those games. There was a few I needed so I watched it and I was out when it hit $50 but to see that end price? Madone'!

Somethings fishy or I was missing something rare.

Thanks for all your input; everyone

 

Feel free to post more opinions

but it definitely isnt worth that money from what I can see and read here.
