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.

Its only a matter of time before stuff like this takes off. People pay $1000 extra just for shrink wrap, after all.

Wow, it's becoming ridiculous.  Next thing people will try to sell the shrink wrap by itself too.

Probably worth bidding just to get the signature and the guy's address.  = Easy identity theft.

**EDIT**  Just put in my max bid of $0.01.

Heh, I'm surprised how well that reciept has held up over the years. I still have my receipt for Panzer Dragoon Saga from 1998 but the thermal paper it was on has faded it quite a bit over the years.

true about the thermal paper, I also love that "west wing near Foleys" was printed on their receipts.

The original receipt from 1994
I think this is just when turbografx was out of business and was everything 50% off that time..
Well that's was then,and who ever keeps receipt that time
Who ever knows thats one time will be This system very rare,this games showing on the receipt is also very rare

If you have this games and system,this receipt is great to add on your collection!!
But I know this games and system very hard to find,and maybe more harder to find This piece of paper... :)

Somebody set us up the bomb...

Awesome.  I would outbid you, but it means I would have to bid .06. :)

Yet another eBay auction where I'm unable to read the entire description without falling asleep.  What the hell has happened to the school system?
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

You haven't visited the US lately have you?  we gave up about circa 90.  It's better to just assume were better, no need to do actual work that way.
