Wow I could go on and on!  There are sooooooooooooo many things that I didn't buy today!!  Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Sorry to necro-quote (that would have a double meaning on this forum), but the lulz nearly killed this sickly gamer! I gotta be careful reading Joe's posts...<<<sigh>>> gotta be careful.

Didn't win this yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=150602923852&si=45RVq7agB%252BR7G0Fyw2KG8z5SBOU%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBUAA%3AUS%3A1123

It was sitting at $49 until the last minute because the foolish seller didn't think to include words like "pc engine", "turbo grafx", or "1941" anywhere in the listing.

[BlueBMW]

Wow thats quite a deal isnt it!  Someone cleaned up on that one

I didn't win this today.  I bid exactly what its worth, so whoever won it overpayed IMO

The shipping cost on that is ridiculous!

[BlueBMW]

Typical for a laseractive system via EMS from Japan.  You have to figure that into your price

[turbokon]

I really want this one but someone sneaked in right at the end.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150602923852&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

It had two supergrafx games among other PCE goodies, the one I really wanted was 1941.  A bargin considering an auction for 1941 just recently ended at $165.

yeah even though the 1941 didn't have the cardboard case and one of the "game" is actually a system 3.0 card but yeah all the games are pretty solid games so whoever got this lot got it for  pretty good deal.

I was one of the bidders sneaking in at the end.  Poorly-listed items like this go cheap, but don't underestimate how much they will jump in the last minute (this one went up $70+).  Decide how much it's worth to you, don't bid early, and pray there aren't too many other people watching.

HAHAHA, it never gets older

I did not le buy a Odyssey2

[Joe Redifer]

I didn't buy a whole slew of Neo Geo AES games I saw at the store (though the JP version of Super Sidekicks as $30, not sure if it is worth it).  I also didn't buy Mortal Kombat II for the 32X because it didn't have the book.
