Yeah, lots of auctions for games are going for a little less than usual now. This is good because the market should drop a little for certain games. Then again, I've also noticed that certain auctions that end at a lower then normal price typically end at odd times of the day.

The problem is there is almost no incentive (or deterrent) for a seller to use an auction over a BIN unless they really just want to sell the item/need the cash ASAP. So you get less auctions, but tons of BIN listings where people just sit on shit at high prices until it sells.

To be fair, I would think those are pretty rare, no?

Lol - when I sold mine I counted that manual as a knock against the value...  I still can't believe how perverse collecting gets, even though I was "there" myself...

SEALED YOU GUYS! Keep in mind that the seller might have been from a pack-in. Also, it "comes from my personal condition".

How could there be scratches?  It's still sealed from when it was packed in with a Turbo!

OH that flipper . . . hahahaha

I hope he sees you guys making fun of his dumb listing

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.

I feel like i have seen this exact thing on a Facebook group recently.  Seller is in CO so it's possible.
