In this thread we all want to post cool, spectacular, noteworthy, jaw-dropping […] Virtual Boy auctions on ebay, Yahoo or any other site…

At first here are two auctions on Yahoo Japan (Always cooool stuff on there!) for the japanese Nintendo Store Display:

If I didn’t have a nice copy of Virtual Lab, I probably would have bid around 70,000 yen. It’s really hard to find that game at all, let alone in great condition. It’s harder than Virtual Bowling and SD Gundam as far as I’ve seen. It was, therefore, a good win all around.

you are very correct its very hard to find and special one in good condition.
Like you already say its easyer to find sd gundam or virtual bowling
i have won mine brand new ( whas old stok from a store ) on yahoo and i have pay about 400 euro’s for that one.

Great price on a Japanese unit..usually re-sellers charge a lot more for these..but shipping sux for this…making the price more realistic.

This auction is already closed, but I thought the price was veeeery noteworthy… Over $1k USD for sealed Jack Bros.?!

I was actually watching that Jack Bros. auction until the very end and was ready to throw $751.00 at it during the final 3 seconds, which I thought was already too high enough. Boy was I surprised when I saw those 2 bids placed only about 2 seconds before I could submit mine. I think this was precedent-setting.

Seeing this auction caused me to learn that my “sealed” copy of Jack Bros. was a sham, and that it had simply been resealed probably by some store. That’s why I’m now offering the complete copy of Jack Bros. for sale, which you linked to. I removed the phoney shrink wrap so that nobody would be fooled and then saw the sticker residue in the upper right corner on the front of the box for the first time, learning for sure that the shrink wrap truly had to be phoney. I actually hope that the winner gets a good deal on this copy.

I sure am glad I haven’t had the misfortune of having you bid against me yet… haha! 😉

Sorry to hear that! I would be P-O’d big time! I saw a reseal of Waterworld a while back go for a pretty high price…I feel sorry for the unfortunate soul who got that one as well. Too bad that sellers either 1) don’t know what a reseal is, or 2) intentionally misrepresent their items to get premium bids…

Yeah… I’m pretty confident that the Ebay seller, from whom I purchased the re-sealed Jack Bros., also wasn’t aware that it was a phoney. He had kept it sealed in his collection and in as best as possible condition for who knows how long, and when he listed it, he seemed to make every attempt to list every imperfection on it, but he didn’t mention the sticker residue on the front of the box in the upper right corner, which again, I could not see myself until I removed the shrink wrap. Thus, I think he was deceived as well when he originally purchased it. It was a good job, too. It had a horizontal seam on the back, which, however, was covered by a security device line of some sort, I believe, and was also in a slightly different location than the typical seams. It also had the seams on either side of the box. It wasn’t until I actually had the game in my possession that I could feel with my hands that the shrink wrap material felt slightly different than the typical material used for such games. I wondered, though, if perhaps Atlus had used different material than the rest of the companies. Once I saw this auction, though, with the material and horizontal seam line that looked exactly like all the rest of the officially sealed games…. that’s when I knew for certain. :/

Oh well, it’s still a true and complete copy in very nice condition, so no loss there in that department. 😉

Hey, at least the back of the box looks fully in tact and sticker-free. That alone has got to be worth $800.00 right? 😉

A Blockbuster Carrying case with some foam loss, $30.00 bid plus $6.00 shipping.

I am considering buying the box, heating up the label on mine with a blowdryer and attaching it to it. As my box is in much less great condition.

I ended up buying it.

You are correct… It is missing the little informational sheets that are on either side of the item.

Mine has them, though. hehehe

Although the seller doesn’t say, I’m assuming that the Wario Land game that comes with the display and system is most likely the Not For Resale-Demo Only version. Thus, this is quite a nice package indeed.
