I hate it when sellers list the condition of a game as "used".

Also when they say it's RARE but it's as common/uncommon as an Atari 2600 cartridge

What bugs me is when an auction is "LIKE NEW" and then the description says "CARTRIDGE ONLY - in LIKE NEW CONDITION!" or "No case or manual, but looks like it was never played!"

At least you know what you're getting. "Used" condition is about as vague as it gets.

That's why I stick to buying from sellers who post photos of the actual item they're selling, or at least take the time to type out a description. I don't mind paying a little extra to know exactly what I'll be getting.

Is Tales of Symphonia really going for over $45 on ebay? I had no idea it was worth that much. I might sell my copy now.

You could sell it here and for slightly less considering there are no ebay fees when you sell via Racketboy.

Looking through Wikipedia for a Gamecube games released list for so I can put together a potential WTB thread here in the future, and got a lot of titles. But one thing -- how much licensed stuff did the GC get? Nearly half the library is all stuff from movies, TV, cartoons. Game companies in the early part of the century sure had a lot of cash to throw around

Are there Amazon sales going on or is everything looking cheaper than normal right now?...

Just glancing at it, I don't see anything particularly special going on. It might depend on what's in your suggestions/etc. My guess would be that some items aren't so much on sale as they might be seeing their prices normalize after the holidays. Prices do get auto adjusted there, so seeing stock replenished could serve to drop things a little.

First world problems:

I can't decide if I want to keep my Halo edition oXbox with no box or my regular, boxed oXbox that is softmodded and has a larger hard drive.

I also can't decide if I want to keep my silver GameCube (no box) or my purple GameCube (with box). I prefer the former one's color, but I also like having boxed systems.

Any thoughts?

Yeah it's just weird, I've been glancing at both quite a bit of anime and games across multiple systems I've been eying, and everything I'm looking at looks a lot cheaper than usual (and trust me I'm on Amazon a lot haha). It's tempting but it'd hurt my wallet.

I'm quite fond of the purple 'cube personally, I'd probably keep that one.
