NES eBay auction (Every game ever made)

[J T]

I'd bet that this auction has been linked to on all manner of gaming sites and some kids (probably from gamefaqs) have decided to play silly buggers and put in fake bids.

It would be interesting to see how much a collection like this would actually, really fetch.

That could be very true. But don't forget the recent changes ebay have made to their policies in the last couple of years. For an auction going this high with this number of bids, an investigation by ebay could very well take place if this is false bidding, and legal action could ensue. If on the other hand this is genuine bidding then it is just madness.

So what happens if they are false bids?

[AlexJ]

eBay might decide to ban the account of the false bidder. That's as far as their punishment usually goes. It might even be as little as an exchange of negative feedback. The item will usually be offered to the next lowest bidder to accept or decline.

Would be awesome to get it for $100

[Harrison]

Anyone else noticed the auction has dropped back down to currently being $21,200

Take a look at the Bid retraction and cancellation history. Loads of false bids and fake bidder verifications. So it does seem some were having a laugh at the bidder by posting silly amounts.

But even back to it's real bidding $21,200 is still pretty good going. Works out at $32.64 a game which doesn't actually sound that much.

Very true, still a big amount.

Looks like the auction was pulled. Too bad, as it would have been interesting to see what it went for

[Demon Cleaner]

It guess it's quite normal they pulled the auction. Wasn't a serious one anyway.
