Animan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I had an similar incident happen before.. At Half-Price Book Store, they have a Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (case included) for $80. I asked the lady at the counter if it was a misprinted price label, and she said "We look up the prices for all these things. Nice try" and she gave me a weird look or two for the rest of the time I was there. Edited October 13, 2011 by Animan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Shockingly enough (NOT!) the NES didn't sell. I know, I know, don't everyone freak! Anyway, it's listed again so let the watching begin once more! Awesome! ADDED to watch list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Oh, I'm already re-re-watching this chunk of shit. Maybe it's time we all message the seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yep. On my watch list B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I say we all set up a time, and flood her in box all at one time. Who's willing to orchestrate it? If we could get at least 10 people in on it, that would be hilarious! B Edited October 13, 2011 by bigbee99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hah, send her a bunch of emails all fighting over / offering crazy sums for that super-rare one-of-a-kind Mario Bros / Duck Hunt combo cart. It's two games in one, it's GOT to be rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just noticed she removed the Bubble Bobble pics but left it in the description. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I would hate to ruin anyones fun, but does anyone want to take bets on whether I can talk some sense into her? I am always up for a challenge....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20ohm20 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would hate to ruin anyones fun, but does anyone want to take bets on whether I can talk some sense into her? I am always up for a challenge....... You'd be wasting your time. She admitted to me that she bought the RF cable and power supply elsewhere on eBay within the last few weeks (look in her previous transactions/feedback). She is looking to profit on someones stupidity; she knows damn well that NES isn't worth $1500+. Unfortunately, she has her auction description worded just right so she can plead ignorance if anyone questions her auction with authority (extremely unlikely that would ever happen anyways). And being a douchebag isn't against eBay's rules. For all I know, she's probably thriving on the attention anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne2072 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I think that's more of what it is... she likes the attention. She can't really think everyone else's NES that their parents bought for them (or they bought for themselves) back then is a fake, or that this common stuff is worth $1500. I do like the idea of flooding her inbox. Kind of like an "eBay flash mob". :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 And I'm still saying, with the changes of pictures.... It isn't a she. Or at the very least, it sure as hell isn't the "she" currently pictured. All part of the game, boyz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would hate to ruin anyones fun, but does anyone want to take bets on whether I can talk some sense into her? I am always up for a challenge....... Yeah, I'll bet you. There is no way in hell you can do it, unless you are at her level and can somehow manipulate her. Post your results.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Whew thank good ness Ebay sent me this! Good news. You've got another chance to win item Original NES system and rare games Hi Rob, Your watched item has been relisted. Don't let it slip away this time. Oh boy another chance!

bobotech Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Watching her latest auction. This is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne2072 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Me too. I watch it every time eBay tells me it's been relisted. It's like a weekly entertainment thing, between additional fluff put in the listing about everyone else's NES being a reproduction, and folks' posts on here. I hope the original author of this thread doesn't start charging admission. <lol> So, when is the eBay e-mail flash mob scheduled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Oh yeah, I've been re-re-watching it each time I'm able. As far as the "reproduction" systems on ebay, I think he/she is referring to clones like the Yobos. Hmm... I like the sound of "Yobo" as an insult.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I love this part in description, did I miss this or was it added recently?: If i cant sell the system itself i would sell the games seperately. IF IT DOESNT SELL THIS TIME I WILL HAVE IT UP ONCE MORE BEFORE MY KNEE SURGERY, AFTER THAT IT MAY BE A WHILE BEFORE I CAN GET IT BACK ON HERE, SO HAPPY BIDDING AND GL, :-) Edited October 16, 2011 by OldSchoolRetroGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20ohm20 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 She/he/it recently won these: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110753388952 I'm assuming that they will somehow be added to the auction at a later date (maybe when it gets re-listed at $1000?)

purduecrum Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Did you see that you can now "Add to Cart" on eBay? What if you follow and add to cart without ever purchasing? Or should we just let this poor lady have her surgery in peace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraborakid Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I to am watching this auction, i will offer her a bid. Edited October 18, 2011 by Toraborakid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
