Wow, with listings like that, it's a wonder how he has 100% feedback.

[Goochman]

Guess thats how you get 10 auctions out of 1 listing...........

Star Raiders "needs repair" -- $9.95 for the bare cart?? And $29.95 for each of the others??

 

I guess that's fine for people who don't know about BEST, B&C, etc.

[SoulBlazer]

He relisted, now they are only $19.95 each.

Being serious here... I don't know about those places? Do they have websites?

Sure. I'll just link to the 8-bit game parts of the various websites. But they each carry a lot of other stuff as well.

 

BEST Electronics' 8-bit games

B&C Computervisions' 8-bit games

Video 61's 8-bit games

 

In no case are the websites beautiful, but I've dealt with all three of them for many years and am a satisfied customer.

Be sure to ask if the carts are original or copies before you buy, as I've gotten burned buying stuff I assumed would be original from some of those places.

I hate people who sell things like this. He's saving money on the listing cost. I also don't know anyone who'd pay such high prices for common carts.

I thought it was against eBay's rules to do a 'choice' auction. Did they change that?

[Philflound]

Post a link because I never heard of Ebay limiting auctions like that. In fact, my buddy is about to put up many vintage baseball and basketball cards from the 1970s in a similar fashion. Like $1 per common, here's the list. The thing that is different from the old days of Ebay is that you can now modify your description, even if something is purchased. Former times would not allow you to modify the initial description, only add to description. This has helped me when I have multiples of the same game. Some of the boxes may be damaged, but I don't mention it in the description until I reach those damaged games. Then I modify it.

Looks like this is o.k., as long as the listing has multiple available so eBay still gets their cut on each sale.
