Looking to complete my collection...

Add that to another one of your ebay deals gone bad. You can leave a followup on his feedback to let people know what he did btw.

[nodtveidt]

Yeah, took me a bit to figure out how to do that. So, I left this remark:

"Lied about item condition & failed to understand US geography. Won't buy again."

[nodtveidt]

Won my first item from Linda, the one everyone here seems to refer to as the "creepy old lady"...a 100% complete copy of Neutopia for $51 plus shipping. That's the second highest price I've ever paid for a game on ebay, it overtakes the previous $43 second-place bid.

[Michael Helgeson]

Ugg,makes me wonder if I should just list my Neutopia 1 and 2 together on ebay as a lot auction.

[nodtveidt]

That's not such a bad idea, they both command a pretty high price on ebay these days.

Just won a large lot of games on ebay for a very sweet price...it comes out to about $6.70 per game with a console thrown in for free! This, together with three auctions I had won a couple of hours earlier, reduced my "wanted" list by 21 games, which now stands at 84 titles.

[Michael Helgeson]

Glad to hear! Saw that auction,you did damn good on it.

[gekioh]

Ha ha thats so f*cking funny dude i knew that had to be you Old R... on ebay. I saw that feedback that the guy left you and your absolutly right. And i agree he does obviously need higher education!!!!

Two more lot auctions clean-swept, including one by vestcoat, who I hope is the same vestcoat here at the forums. Just one more lot tonight (ending in about a half an hour) and then two more auctions for single games over the next couple of days and I'm done bidding for now. I've managed to pass 50% completion now, so that's a major milestone. I'm going to have a lot of dupes, and I'll offer any that I have to forum members here before I list them on evilbay.

Jesus man, I expect you to have the entire US collection by the end of the week.

Badass, dude.
And yes, I'm the same vestcoat.

BTW, if any of y'all have leads on the rotten SOB who stole vestcoat@gmail.com, let me know.  I've been rocking this handle on hotmail and ebay for ten years and cyberspace ain't big enough for the two of us...

My wife says "maybe by the end of next month".

Well, after these final three auctions, I'm stepping off for a bit; I've tied up enough cash for now, easily going through over $600 in the last week, and that doesn't count the close to $300 I spent the week prior. I actually hope I get outbid on my final auction, as I already have all four of the games the auction comes with. My bid isn't too high, so it might happen.

But yes...I will eventually be able to say "hey look, I have the entire US collection". And then I will list it on ebay for $9,999.

[nodtveidt]

Awesome, good to know. You just don't want to know what my highest bid for that lot was...

[nodtveidt]

The last auction of the day was won with a vengeance. The snipers tried once again and failed once again. These jokers should learn that if adosorken is the highest bidder, there's no beating him.

[nodtveidt]

My dealing with redfrogusa went off without a hitch. They could have packaged my game better, considering how much I paid for shipping, but it arrived intact and was minty fresh, still wrapped up in its original shrinkwrap, no rewrap bullshit.

The games have been trickling in slowly...now I'm mainly waiting for the big lots.
