This is the most bullshit thing I have encountered in a very long time. I dont even know what to do. Apparently I'm covered under eBay buyer protection, but even still -- that is so spotty for the seller.

I ordered two sealed games, and they left the other one sealed but even that one was banged up.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I am beyond furious.

My wife says this is tracky and I can’t hang it in our living room. It’s all my favorite games from my childhood. Is it childish to want to have these on display?

I really wanted to secretly give them my number to see if I could beat the offer, but I actually really like that shop. They’ll be as fair as a business like this can be, but I’m sure I would’ve given them more.

They also had CIB Duck Tales 2. Just sitting in her basement she said. Her son told her that she should come get cash.

Discussion Nintendo Hands Free Controller surfaces after 40 years

4.2k Upvotes

The long rumored and poorly documented hands free controller intended for disabled children to play NES has appeared on eBay. It was long thought that this never went into full production and the only existing example was on display in Nintendo’s corporate office in Redmond Washington. The seller here is a well known whale in the collecting community (meaning when it comes to acquiring items, money usually isn’t an object), and given its relatively low price compared to its rarity and reputation, my guess is he probably found a case or cases of them and has multiple available, and he’s slow dripping them on the market for maximum value. I’m sure more information is to come on this, but this is a pretty wild find.

It’s people like this. You can also blame the people buying them from people like this on eBay.

Edit- it’s not my shop just where I go to get my tattoos lol my bad poor wording

Not sure if it’s worth it to take it with me - there was no key left with it so don’t know how I would access it and would have to store it until I get my own place but it seems like I shouldn’t pass this up

Checking out my local GameStop when I see this in the case, I asked the manager why is it $10,000??

He said “ it’s the super rare galaxy limited edition that’s how much they are”

What are they smoking.

Local game store.. They barely have any decent inventory to begin with. Months ago I posted another local store with fake Gameboy games. This is getting ridiculous. Not only is it.. Illegal? But there is nothing stating/noting these are fake. This is horrible for the gaming community and horrible practice. Why is this ok or allowed? How do you guys feel about this? My problem is these get sold and mixed in rotation of real games and then we create a real problem. Vintage game stores should have an issue with this, not blatantly selling. Again, weak inventory so this makes up for it? I hate it, a lot. I want your opinions.
