I think the only reason Mindfad hasn't replied to this is because he is at the bank

Gee, no one's bid on the games yet. Hmm.... If they're original in the original boxes with the papers and everyting, they could probably sell pretty well, but 1000 beans?

All my old NES games have been stolen or lost, mostly stolen when I was a kid. Blaster Master: the only game I've owned twice and had stolen twice.

Wow, if someone bids on this any hope I had for ebayers will be lost.

By the way, this isn't really a scam, scams are normaly dishonest schemes for making money.

It's obviously just a Typo. Considering the average intellegence (or lack thereof) on eBay, the seller probably typed 1000 meaning $10.00.

That, or they are pirate copies of the game, and the money will be used to Fund Terrorism!

Why would anyone want to spend that kind of money on a NES game? Geez. Maybe I can't relate since I still have my copy of Zelda 1 and 2.

The $15 or the $1000? I bought it cause I never had the chance to play it til last year...which is when my Zelda interest sparked.

That's insane. I might shell out $100 depending on the condition of the boxes, manuals, and carts. Zelda 2 sucked anyway.
