Btw, my Sega Nomad w/32 games is also up....

To be honest, you're asking for a high starting price.

Yeah, I got mine for $90 on ebay about a year ago, but that was a cheap one. $115 is a good final price though, and you're being fair on shipping.

$115 is a good price for a BBA. That's how much I paid for my japanese one from Lik Sang, before they were considered "rare".

No one is trying to ruin your auction. Shoot, I hope you make oodles of money on it. I just think having a low starting price helps auctions build momentum and possibly sell much higher than they should. So, from me, it's more advice than anything. My comments are NOT intended to mean that you are trying rip someone off.

Sorry that's how you feel. It was not my intentions. I actually thought about buying your BBA, but I thought it was a high starting price. I never said it wasn't worth $115 bucks, because that isn't true. I think it's a good price to pay if someone was looking for a BBA.

Since this isn't strictly programming related, its probably better off in Off-Topic....

So, away we go.

A $115 price is very fair these days. I sold a BBA for $200. The average price these days is around $125-$150. They can go for lower or higher, pending on details. In this case, I think his feedback is hurting him. And yeah, it's probably true that people much rather ramp up than outright bid $100 immediatly, but this can end up shooting you in the foot.

It's at $60 bucks, hurry up and buy and ends at 8:19 est. I'm still thinking of pulling it though and selling it worldwide.

Probably should - you'll probably get more money doing it like that.
