$400 that sucks.  I guess he is charging per letter in his description . . . has anyone checked on FQ?  I wonder if he ever recovered from the boredom?
I'm okay.  Thanks for the concern.

I was thinking of dropping a $600 bid, but I've never retracted a bid before.  I want to make 100% sure I am able to retract it before bidding.  Should I be concerned?

Can't believe reserved not met at 666.66 
Want to stop watching auction, But can't
Want to read whole story and can't

this is an evil evil auction
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

How can the reserve not be met?  An insane listing.

I've done it probably a dozen times. There's no cause for concern. Just be careful with your timing, the system won't let you retract a bid if less than 12 hours remain before the end of the auction.

I'd love to see everyone retract their bids and see the price drop under 50.00!  That would be funny and confuse the hell out of the guy!

810 now and reserve is NOT MET!!!

Either someone somewhere really wants this one badly or all the bidders are trolls.  And what the heck is seller thinking it'd be worth so much by putting reserve at insane high.

Because he: "do some renovation outer of my house with my father" which I interpret to mean he and his father need cash to pay for prostitutes.

Wow, reserve was not met at $830... The other thing is, my new Turbo Duo from TZD came with Ys Book I&II - I thought that was the case for everyone... Did TTi also vary the pack-in CD games or something ?? Getting Ys III instead of Ys Book I&II is a bad deal... I know the chip varied, I got Ninja Spirit while I think others got Legendary Axe or something, etc.

This seems to be true with RegalSin when you communicate with him via PM and get him angry.
