This auction went up as a bid auction originally.  It was at $2.00 when I saw it first within minutes of going up.  Then in a couple more minutes it jumped up to over $100 and was for some reason pulled.  Next thing I see in the completed auctions was this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TURBO-GRAFX-TURBO-DUO-52-GAME-LOT-/221165229078?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item337e799416&nma=true&si=0YTAvYp0P4UNKVY6XXyBo7lgDXY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

My guess is someone messaged him right after it went up and offered the $350 via buy it now and the seller did it.

Anyone here happen to get this good deal/steal?

That is a decent deal.  I didn't manage to get it.  Couldn't have even if I had noticed it.  $350 this time of year on games doesn't really sit well with me or my wife.

What's up with that Knight Rider game?  Is it a good game of just cashing in on the brand?
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

I think I see what happened with it now.  It was first put up as an auction with a $350 Buy it Now.  Someone threw a bid on it to knock off the buy it now price.  From there the auction was pulled and put back up with a $350 buy it now and someone bought it.  Lucky........  Still wonder if anyone here got it.
All is well. :)

Given the ~7500 feedback of the buyer, it is most likely a reseller, and we will see all the items again, marked up.

Dayum, I wish I had gotten that one.
Hey, you.

Almost jumped on this (pun not intended) until I saw the $16 shipping.


You can choose cheaper shipping options.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The way he described it, it does not sound like the condition is all that great on it. Sounds like someone did a botched buffing job on it.

$350 is a steal considering the last couple of ebay auctions on Dungeon Explorer 2 alone go for that much. A shame I didn't catch it neither. I would have bought it and raffled off my loose Dungeon Explorer 2 and Winds of Thunder.

I picked it up.  :)  Gonna take it to my local PlaynTrade to have it cleaned up in one of their machines.
