This truly is an `Are you shitting me?`... Must be the life!

Goes to show you that if you have money it doesn't necessarily mean you have brains.

Shrinkwrap does have an hypnotic effect on some people, doesn't it?

People have been gouging stuff out of the estate of Greg Martin since his death (I've seen a few animation and comic related pieces go big that were picked up for peanuts while he was alive) but this is the worst I've seen so far. Wow...

Something fishy there.

It says "ended" not "sold", so I don't think it has been sold

[Fushek]

According to completed listings ... it did indeed sell.

That's just crazy talk.

Look in the circles. All you have to do is scroll down.

 

[Greg2600]

Sold but did they pay for it?

[Greg2600]

Just as I thought, the buyer dropped out.

The price went down a little bit

Not enough. Those games are only worth like $300 each. Adding $34,000 extra because the resided in a certain house on a certain shelf is stupid.

Buyer back out because the original listing had it sold? I guess you'd have to be two things for this auction to appeal to you (1) Rich, or at least very well off and (2) a huge Greg Martin fan. That's probably a very small percentage of the planet. Honestly until I read the listing I had no idea who he was so I can see the appeal to some extent.
