VB Auctions.

May as well start one of these up again. This one looks super sweet. If I had the money, I'd place a bid.

or why not lend the guy without any of the good games the money? >.>

i have drooled over that auction for a few hours already ^^




Posted by Boner

Yeah, it's too bad that the auciton for Virtual Bowling I won was a scam. I recieved an empty box in the mail. The dude is also no longer a registered user of ebay. I contacted PayPal, but they were only able to refund me $175 of the $500 I sent to the seller. They couldn't reverse the transaction because he had no funds in his account. GO FIGURE! The seller is also from Holland. So, not much can really be done about it. I have to chock it up to a hard lesson learned. Be carefull with those international auctions fellas. Also, if you pay for an auction through PayPal, use a credit card rather than having the funds drawn straight from your checking account. Most credit cards have some sort of fraud protection attached to them. That was another mistake of mine. I am, once again, on the prowel for Virtual Bowling. Fellow bidders beware :devil:




Posted by Spinal

That really sucks :/ I would go nuts if someone scammed 500 from me :( my collection is really small, i only have the cheap games so far ^^ and i have only got scammed one time when i won a vb game (from a guy in Mexico) and that was under 10usd :P (us vertical force)

We would all like those games. That's cheap considering it has SD Gundam and Virtual Bowling.

You go all that way, and end up $25 short. :(

If I hadn't been screwed out of $500 on V-Bowling by a scammer from Holland, I would probaably bid on your SI cart. Even then, my max bid probably wouldn't exceed the $200-250 range. Thanks for pointing them out to us though :double: .

HEHE... I have a link to a very nice VB item. Here it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8182743868&rd=1

Its a link to a debug virtual boy headset from acclaim. Just so you all know the headset was just to test and view games. This item also comes with a set of development documents and two floppy disks with software.

I wonder what is on the floppy disks........




Posted by KR155E

The floppies contain the official development software as well source for the "Sample Soft for VUE Programming" (info can be found on [url="http://www.vr32.de"]PVB[/url] in games>techdemos). Normally the VUE Debugger came with 3 disks though, and I think I remember ASSEMber saying that he was looking for VB dev soft, so I think those are no original disks.
The docs are not "real" too, those are just David Tuckers VB Programming Manual ~_~

Still an interesting auction though.

It's Galactic Pinball prototype...(Early title: Space Pinball)

Quoting VirtualRealityZone: I thought the space pinball game only played on the prototype CES 95' version of the Virtual Boy.
I'm pretty sure of that myself. It was shown way before the VB as we know it was released, and they changed almost everything hardware (connector) wise in the time between.
Anyway, sweet find! :-D

And there is still 20+ hours left on the auction. I wonder what the auction will close at. Has anyone noticed the shortage of auctions on ebay for the VB? It seem it wasn't too long ago when you could find 7 or 8 pages on VB stuff. Now, we are lucky to see 2 or 3 pages. It seems to be driving up its value a little bit as a result.




Posted by lameboyadvance

Its a bit hard to sell VB stuff when you're trying to collect it. ;)

I mean, come on! It's not even a boxed copy!! I really wish people would do a little research on an item before attempting to sell it on Ebay. Many of these idiots try to sell their VB stuff in their Ebay store. Ebay store items don't show up in a regular search. Check it out some time and you'll see these morons are a dime a dozen. I think my favorite auctions, however, are the "Extremely Rare" Kemco Baseball ones, lol.




Posted by lameboyadvance

In their uneducated opinions, if its not PS2 or XBox, its rare and is therefore worth $$$. :rolleyes:

...Someone should submit an offer of $9.95 for that WW auction, and see what he says. ;)

Posted by Boner

Yeah, but that guy is asking a lot for "buy it now" and seems to have high reserves. I was able to get my copy of VBowling for a mere $850 with shipping. Of course the box wasn't in as nice of condition. I don't think those will sell any time soon the way he is auctioning them. He states on his VBowling auction that he once saw one sell for 2,000 GBP (or $3,739.70 at the time). He is telling the truth about that. I saw the same auction and was so amazed that I printed it out. The buyer was from France. I think it will be a looooong time before another copy ever sells for that much again. The only 2 games I am missing now are SD Gundam and Virtual Lab. But, I'm not going to fork out the cash that guy is asking for them. I could probably get Virtual Lab through a guy I know for about $400, but I don't have the cash for it just yet. As it is, I just paid him $550 for a nice store display stand. I'll post pics when it arrives in the mail.

I recently discovered [url=http://books.google.com]Google Books[/url], and decided to type in everyones favourite search term. :)

...Either someone doesn't do their research, or my figures are way off. If I can buy Waterworld and Jack Bros for under $20, could someone please tell me where? ;)




Posted by Boner

Clearly, that is an old list of prices, as they did not include Virtual Bowling in it. Still, at the time that list was created, those prices seem a bit off. As far as that auction ending early, he probably noticed that we called him on it. I wonder if we'll ever hear from him again.




Posted by VirtualRealityZone

Hmmm....this isnt a bad auction. It may be great for whoever needs the game.

3D Tetris in the box, with instructions* usually goes for 70+. This one is just the cart with no box or anything. It has the buy it now option for $20.

I could have edited my post to point this out, but then this tidbit of info I am adding may have been overlooked. As I mentioned, I printed out a copy of the auction for V-Bowling that supposedly sold for 2,000 GBP. I decided to check the feedback that the buyer and seller left for eachother. The buyer was "k-miesha". The item number was 8165699842 and the auction ended on Feb-07-05 06:10:36 PST. Both the buyer and seller left eachother negative feed back. The seller said the bidder wouldn't pay, and the buyer said the seller was trying to get more money out of them. Though it appeared so at the time, that game didn't really sell for that much. I just thought I'd point that out.

Quoting VirtualRealityZone: Those people must be mental or something. I mean, I know some of that stuff is rare but...a video game is not worth paying hundreds, or thousands.



To some, it is. Just look what I dished out for Virtual Bowling and my VB store display stand. I have no regrets. Besides, I payed less than what it typical for most of my collection. I guess it's all circumstantial to how much you can afford to throw out the window on seemingly useless crap. And I think I payed $300+shipping for Space Invaders.



Posted by Boner

It always seems that when one person puts a rare gem up for auction, that someone else follows and tries 1-up the other guy or feed off of the attention that his auction is drawing in. Especially when it comes to VB auctions. Anywho, here's a couple of items I have not seen up for a while...

this one seems clean, but is missing the inserts and base plate. A sad site to see :(


[URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-NINTENDO-VIRTUAL-GAME-BOY-STORE-DISPLAY-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ8273535165QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-NINTENDO-VIRTUAL-GAME-BOY-STORE-DISPLAY-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ8273535165QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/URL]


This one looks pretty sweet, but is still missing the base plate. I assume people just threw them away when they took them from the store to make it easier to move. The base plate alone probably weighs 15-20 lbs. Still, a sad site.

I paid a very modest price for mine from a collector I met online, and it's 100% complete. I guess it's cool to see that there are still some of these out there, no matter what condition they are in.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with the large Virtual Boy logo thats supposed to light up. It looks like a plain red panel.

Also, that guy refers to it as a "Virtual Game Boy". :rolleyes:
People like that shouldn't be let near a VB, let alone own a rare item such as that. :mad:

Quoting lameboyadvance: Is it just me, or is there something wrong with the large Virtual Boy logo thats supposed to light up. It looks like a plain red panel.



The actual Virtual Boy logo in the lit up 'infinity mirror' sign won't always be visible from every angle while the sign is not on. In fact, from the angle I am at right now, I cannot see the logo on mine. What really confuses me, though, is the fact that these people don't have the sign lit up for the auction photos.

A prototype Virtual Boy is currently on [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220011280627]eBay[/url].

These models were used in CES '95 and Shoshinkai '94 to preview the up and coming 3D console. They are slightly redesigned with different logos, coloured controller buttons, the plastic logos on the sides of the console missing, and IIRC a different link port socket.


Shame I don't have enough money, but its probably for the best... ;)

Man...thats very nice. I've been waiting for one to go up for auction on eBay. I wish some vb newbie would create an auction for one with a "buy it now" option for $100. **** that would be awesome :D



Posted by LHoT

Hmmm... maybe I bought my Virtual Boy from one of you. I think that'd be kinda cool. Anyone here ive in Danbury Conneticut? Oh, I saw that prototype Virtual Boy, the bid on it was like 1333.38. I thought the next bid was going to be 1337.00 I was wrong. :(

EDIT::: Reading into this topic, I checked out Opeth's auction. I thought I'd never meet anyone online in the central timezone, let alone in Illinois too.

Sorry for the double post, but this auction has to be seen.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! It's too horrible!!!!!!!!! The Red Alarm demo cart has been totaled!!!!!!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Red-Alarm-RARE-Virtual-Boy-Promo-DEMO-Game-NES-DS-SNES_W0QQitemZ290013621290QQihZ019QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting it looks like someone spilled something on it!

Instead of double posting, try using the edit button. ;)

You seem to be making an awful lot of posts for a day old newbie.




Posted by LHoT

Old newbie? You wanna try speaking english. I don't like having to always figure out what people have to say, and uif you go to any forum (except mine (thats the one in my signature)) I always post like this, cause If I don't then I won't be active.

Anyways... can you belive that the cart got destroyed!? (well, maybe it does work but.... still)

Whhops, I read it as... "You seem to be making a lot of posts a day (ppd), old newbie." I completely omitted the "for" sorry bout that!

Somone wants onhundred dollars for something I got for 16

Not sure I have ever seen a sealed copy sell for that much.




Posted by lameboyadvance

...Well there goes my wish of owning a US copy of Jack Bros. :(
;)


...And GKKleiner's post probably doesn't belong here, but there isn't exactly a Virtual Boy thread for it, and I doubt anyone visiting the VB forum would bother with Buy/Sell/Trade anyway.

Quoting lameboyadvance: ...Well there goes my wish of owning a US copy of Jack Bros. :(


Well, if you want one that's factory sealed anyway. The opened ones still go for a decent amount with and w/o the box.



Posted by lameboyadvance

I'm still looking for copies of Jack Bros and Waterworld. Since every other game of mine has box/manual, I'd like the same for these.


...Unfortunately they're the dearest and rarest of the US games... (besides Nester) :(




Posted by 1magus

I found a cool thing to bid on but can't post it yet cause of the dumb 10 post rule!

Just post the url as text.

Yeah, but I see he has failed to remove his [SIZE="7"]LIES![/SIZE]

Anyway, if a person believes what a seller on ebay has to say w/o doing their own research, they get what they deserve. Perhaps those bidders just want to be able to play the game and don't care about its condition. I still say they are suckers.

People seem to be willing to pay more for these lately.

That's because it's tainted. Notice the warning sticker from the rental store and the black marker on the back. Even though it has the box and instruction, it's not cherry. It seems a bit low, but not too low.

Just noticed a "Wii" Virtual Boy on Yahoo Auctions JP.

All it is is a VB painted white with a blue stripe, and a Wii logo sticker stuck on it. :rolleyes:

2 VB posters. One of the console, the other of Mario Clash.

Hey guys you thought I was some Jerk trying to hype up my custom white Virtualboy a while back. Well funny how it seems I found out about that on the Planet Virtual Boy forums and saw it was some weirdo on gamefaqs message boards. Anyways the reason why I first took it off ebay was I didn't feel like it was ready to sell or in the condition I wanted to sell it in and I got some more money via scholarships. So I stripped it back to the Red plastic = Many hours of sanding :(

Then a while later I bought another VirtualBoy at a good price on ebay then I painted that white. So I had one new white Virtual Boy and I painted the stripped down virtual boy shell and took it apart to paint it right. This time I used black paint which I thought looked cool. So I had the VBs for a while but in my college loserness I thought I'd try and sell them again on eBay with everything together. Including the AC adapter hmmm was it 8 games? I don't remember two controllers and the two custom virtual boys and one custom white virtual boy controller. For awhile I was contemplating putting blue LEDs in the case to get a Revolution type glow but alas I didn't know where i'd get clear plastic to fit on the head piece or the controller. I did have for a while a little set up with some resistors on the controller hooked up to the power but meh I just didn't want to take a chance on cutting up the case or controllers :(.

Oh boy and the first attempt at the white VB really stank because I saw reflective paint in the store and thought... gee wouldn't that be cool and I did it and poo it looked like ****e you can go and search on google for gerrhod Virtualboy and you'll see under NintendoGal some pictures of that blech it sucked also you'll see the discolored ring around the Nintendo logo that was because the vinyl sitcker that I purchased didn't react well with the reflective paint and bubbled so I removed it. Oi, lets see what else I did with those virtual boys really it was a labor of love and I wish I hadn't let them go but oh well maybe when I get more money since i've graduate college now i'll buy another VB and do a REALLY REALLY nice job on the VB plus get all the games and keep it for myself. I wish people wouldn't call me a jerk though. Remember don't try and connect the dots if you don't know the whole story.

go to moz la punk's message boards search for my nick name under author and you'll see a topic I created called "I just won a virtual boy on ebay review coming soon" Then on the second page you'll see my development picures of it okie dokie? I wish ebay kept a longer log of ebay auction so i'd show you the second auction I had that had everything in it :( oh well heck even look at my ebay account same nick name as this and moz la punk yadda yadda :/ Anyways thought you'd guys also be interested in how I either improved upon the look or disgraced it :(.

hey has anyone here got all the virtualboy games

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m40644017 I think this is the promo video of the VB, but I'm not sure as I don't read Japanese.

I recently got an unopened Japanese Jack Bros for 45 dollars, free shipping.
I have won Panic Bomber, Vertical Force, and Virtual Tetris (all jpn) and got
them all for under 20 bucks, shipping included.

There is a seller in Kobe Japan listing Insmouse and Space Squash for 120 and 64 dollars, respectively. Don't know how well they are selling, they have multiple new copies. Wario Land can be had cheap, if you are lucky, but there is a lot of interest in this game, as well as in Mario Clash. I see prices as high as 50 bucks for Mario Clash, but the average seems to be 20-30 bucks for a copy, more if manual or box is included.

Jack Bros (English) causes auctions to blow up, whether with a unit, in a lot, or by itself. This game is routinely going higher than a new next-gen game, and it's a great game, but I'm not paying that.

You can get a 2fer on Baseball for cheap (less than 10 bucks). I got an unopened copy and a loose cart, same seller has more auctions up on this item, they must have a bunch of them.

Space Invaders listed twice at 275 dollars:no takers so far. I don't care how rare it is: it's freakin' Space Invaders. You might be able to score an actual arcade cabinet for that figure, with persistence and luck.

Good luck to everybody....
