Oh right, there's an animated Merlin wizard who pops up and floats around the screen, saying stuff like "What a great deal", "I might even bid myself!" etc. First time I've seen it. It was 2am and I was sort of entranced by it in a half-asleep kind of way!

That one was freakin' funny...Pac-Man was depressed after Ms. Pac-Man dumped him, so the ghosts try to cheer him up by flashing so he can eat them, but he ignores them. Then they say "Screw this, let's go to Q*Bert's" Also I saw an Atari 7800 on King of Queens, Doug and Arthur were playing Video Olympics on it (but they had it in black and white for some reason).

You be the judge! I thought it was kind of fun myself, but I wouldn't want to see it in every auction I click on... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4715710181

That's one way. But the fact that he's repeatedly asked me how much shipping is, despite it being as clear as I can possibly make it in the auction description, makes me not want to bother with him.

So I had a guy win one of my games, and lucky me, his email address is invalid. He just doesn't know it; he's sent me three messages through the ebay question system and is getting pissed off that I haven't contacted him. What am I supposed to do? By the way, here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8178073780 Oh, and he's asked me three times how much shipping is. So...shall I assume he's an idiot and just relist this? Shall I leave him a neutral or neg?

I've listened to it a few times and there are some words (especially at the beginning) that I cannot make out. The rest of it is pretty clear, though. Would be amusing to transcribe it. One thing I forgot to mention is that Alex did try calling the hotel mentioned near the end and there was nobody registered under that "Shamus O'Tool" name. Which of course makes sense since the guy was obviously just ad-libbing. ..Al You gotta wonder if this guy (and others like him) just call a bunch of numbers from newspaper ads as a hobby and/or outlet for their rantings. But I do like the sound of that Snapperoo! Pac-Man clone perhaps?

Ehh..don't get too excited, there aren't any N64 games that go for anywhere over $50. Harvest moon can get $40 on a good day, but we ain't talking Eli's Ladder values for any of these things just yet

OMG...this is without a doubt the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. The description is equally hilarious though : "Hi, how are you?". Well, Ken, after seeing that picture, I'm feeling a strange mixture of amusement and sadness, since you asked. Glad he packs very safe though, wouldn't want this piece of hardware getting damaged now, would we.

Actually no. But we can have the PERFECT Game and Watch version of Donkey Kong Maybe in a new G&W Gallery Yeah that'd be great. They could do a G&W gallery with ALL the classic double screen games, Donkey Kong, Donkey kong 2, Mickey & Donald, Gold Cliff, Zelda, Bomb sweeper. And then you could turn the DS sideways to play Lifeboat, Mario Bros, etc. I'd buy a DS just so I could have all those G&Ws in one package. YOU LISTENING, NINTENDO?

Oh wow, I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed that item. It was an Xbox game Rocky Legends, with a BIN of 99 cents, and shipping costs of $20.

OK, take a look at this auction : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8179942226&rd=1 Note the ridiculous shipping costs and his blatant attempt to avoid ebay fees. Now click on his 'me' icon and read the crap he writes about his "honesty" and how he hates frauds on ebay. LOL!

Totally undeserved, imho. You specifically said more than once that it was untested and might not work. Too bad you got a noob. But, realistically, I think with all the idiots out there on ebay, you were lucky to avoid getting any negs up until now

These "limited editions" seem to be about as limited as the supply of ice in Antarctica I still see plenty of Halo 2 "limited editions" on store shelves. Having said that, I am getting the Splinter Cell LE, as its my favorite franchise and I'm interested in the extra stuff.

All but one of the bidders has 0 feedback...there's yer answer

Some ultraviolent titles for your consideration: Manhunt PS2/Xbox Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City/San Andreas Max Payne 1 & 2 Hitman 2 /Hitman Contracts The Suffering And most 'fighter' games, Soul Calibur II, Mortal Kombat, Tao Feng, Marvel vs Capcom, etc etc. I'm not much of an expert on the 'gentler' games , but try Animal Crossing, Barbie horse adventures, Dance Dance Revolution, Harvest Moon, Polar Express, Donkey Konga (although that one does involve bashing some drums a lot...)

Tetris Worlds for the Xbox has a "story mode". Something about warring alien races using square blocks as weapons. Nuff said!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8176528961 Allows you to use Atari 2600 joysticks (or equivalents) on a Colecovision. Starts at just one cent, with no reserve. Woo hoo!

Yeah, plus the foam might need a Famicom convertor to work properly in the US.

Ehh...like, whatevah. Keep those Splinter Cells coming, though

Well there was that episode where Peter was at an arcade and played the "Drive behind a slow bus' simulator...but really, if they've made 12 Simpsons games by now, I don't see why a Family Guy game is such an outrageous suggestion.

Freakin' sweet. Victory is Mine! Alriiiiight, etc etc.

To go with the shameless shipping costs?

I don't know if you're aware of this, so I'll be polite, but these prices are crazy. Wind Waker sells for $20 new, why are you asking for 40? Most of those PS2 titles are also bargain bin standards and can be had for 10 each (or less, at TRU...hell, I myself got Primal for $1.50 just this past week). Xbox Second Sight also retails for $20 new. I seriously think you'd need to knock 50% off most of these before you'll get any offers.

I was at a Gamestop the other day, I only went in because my wife was in a wife-type store , but I browsed the racks and saw a Gamecube Backyard Baseball for $14.99. I knew that one was kind of hard to find, so I took it to the counter. After handing over the money, the clerk presented me with a blank DVD case that contained the disc only. No artwork, no manual. Needless to say, I was the owner of Backyard Baseball for all of about ten seconds.

http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...item=8165279091 Ends Wednesday...currently at 6 cents! One button not working, but there are four of them...
