for discussion on the most recent prototype VB cartridge that was listed on Ebay.

The seller originally tried to sell a Japanese Panic Bomber prototype cartridge on Ebay for 999 Euros. I don’t know if he ever managed to sell it or what the selling price was.

A good deal on a bundle of 4 Japanese carts.

VTetris
Red Alarm
Mario Tennis
Virtual Fishing

Virtual Lab, very good condition and complete in box:

It is a Buy-It-Now listing:

58,000 yen = 582 US Dollars = 390 British Pounds = 446 Euros

Dude… even though it is Virtual Bowling and, thus, is likely to be bid up to the max, it is still very risky to start the auction at $0.99 with no reserve:

WOW! I agree that is a risky move to start it at at 99 cents! I am highly confident it will bid up to ridiculous heights. I will be watching not bidding but watching. American seller no less! Good eye Ben!

Not risky at all. He would have to be an idiot to start it with a reasonable starting bid.

Here’s why :

1) MUCH lower listing fee by starting at $0.99.
2) eBay Best Match gives a higher rank for items that get a lot of bids.
3) It will get a lot of bids.
4) If he isn’t happy with where the price is heading he can always cancel the auction as long as there is at least 12 hours remaining.
5) Made you look.
6) Listings with lower start prices typically have higher final prices.

The only time you want to hedge your bets with a higher start price (or a Fixed Price) is when there are very few people willing to pay what an item is worth, and the odds of a bidding war are slim. There should be no problem with this item, though.

I don’t know. I think it could go either way with such a rare item in fantastic condition. There was a copy of a “brand new” Virtual Bowling sitting on Yahoo Auctions Japan for the longest time at $2,500.00. I thought it would never be purchased by anyone, and yet it is now gone. I don’t know how to look it up to see if it was sold or not, but I guess I can assume that it sold, and there is likely no way that this current one on Ebay is the same one that was on Yahoo Auctions Japan recently, but they both are in fantastic condition. If that is the case, then I think the one on Yahoo Auctions Japan would have sold under the notion that if you get just one serious collector looking at your item long enough and often enough and thinking more and more that he will never find another copy in better condition, he will eventually push his “highest offer” up to the seller’s asking amount if it is still within the realm of reasonableness for the collector. A one-week long auction might not be enough time for a serious collector like that to push up his maximum payment amount so high.

In any case, I think it is awesome that the seller is willing to part with this one for possibly a comparatively low price. I hope that somebody gets a nice deal on it.

By the way, if the seller cancels the auction early, I was under the impression that he only gets “one freebie” a year or something under eBay’s new policies. Thus, if he cancels this auction early, he will have to pay the typical selling fees on the “potential selling price,” which would be the highest bid that was placed before the auction closed. Am I right about this?

No – he’ll just have a buddy bid it way up there and then cancel the transaction if nobody outbids his buddy.

There’s a million ways around eBay’s childish little rules.

At that price I cannot imagine a loose cart selling, even if it is VB for the VB.
