Hidden gem on Ebay

[Red 5]

I search, as most of us do, for that hidden auction that has the hidden gem.

The one that somehow, nobody sees.

 

Once every two or three years, if you are lucky, you get one.

 

Well... I finally got one.

(Nothing insane like a Quadrun, but still made my week!)

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

 

Needless to say, I have a trade list ready to be posted in about 10 minutes.

 

And while 1/2 of this post may be to say,

"LOOK AT ME ! LOOK AT ME ! YEEEE HAAAAA !"

 

The other half is to give hope to those like myself who hopelessly dig through thousands of auctions, reading

combat, asteroids, space invaders, OVER and OVER and OVER again until your eyes bleed. There are still a few

needles left in the old haystack.

 

Also, to Dave, who asked the question, I am so sorry.

I hope you have already received this package or are sure its on the way, more then once

I have seen good deals get lost due to someone either telling the seller or offering more

[Red 5]

Although, not the brightest bulb in the box, I am not that stupid.

Received, tested them all, and am trading the doubles in the marketplace.

 

Very good advice to everyone else though.

Receive it before the LOOK AT ME! post.

Which game is the hidden gem? The xonox cart?

TCM i'm guessing

[Red 5]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the big one, and more importantly, one I have been

trying to find forever.

 

The rest was all just bonus, considering I would have probably paid the price I won

the auction for just TCM loose.

No prob, Red. When I read the reply, I figured it would catch someone's eye.

 

If I wasn't such a tightwad, I'd have pushed it a little higher. Still, if somebody's gonna beat me, I'd just as soon it was you.

I don't see it. This is kind of like finding Waldo. Where is the cart in the picture anyway.

[oldgames]

It's in the back row, evidently. I wouldn't have known it was there if I hadn't asked for the list of games.

[video game addict]

I saw this lot but didn't see anything special in it. Guess I should have checked back. Congrats!

I don't think it's visible, I looked again after someone stated it was Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Its listed in the ask seller question messages at the end of auction but to read it you must open the

full message by clicking the more link

It wasn't visible, and I was skepitcal until I opened the box and found it.

 

Then I was happy.

 

Then I hoped that one of the two 'no label' games would be Halloween, but

I am not THAT lucky. The first was bowling, and the second was Q-Bert.

(although I was shocked it wasn't Frogger, kink of the label-less carts.)

 

I have Tapper already, so I wasn't too disapointed to find out that it was the CV version.

The rest was all in pretty good shape and the 2600 works.

 

Why was there an NES controller in there?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Well, if you are "not completely satisfied with your purchase, I 'll refund your price."
