Ryu Kazama who was at the London Final Fantasy XII launch party dropped us a line about an eBay auction with some of the swag from the event. The seller has a bunch of FFXII postcards, the “limited edition” (read: sampler) soundtrack, the rare FFXII Nono moogle that 100 lucky people got for waiting [...]

  Seiken Densetsu 3 (aka Secret of Mana 2) never saw the light of day in the USA even though it is arguably the best game in the Mana series. Even though Squaresoft overlooked the title there were rumors of a partially localized beta that never surfaced. So it’s a little suspicious that a cartridge [...]

  In one auction you can be the proud owner of video game history from the Atari 2600 to the PSP (minus systems like the MSX, Colecovision and TurboGrafx but who is counting?). The seller has 24 systems in one huge bundle. There are some rarities in the package like a Sega Nomad (portable Genesis), [...]

  Ever dream of meeting Hideo Kojima where you are asking him questions like, ”why did you add monkeys in Metal Gear Solid”, but never had the chance to do it? You could pretend it happened with this signed Konami E3 press kit, with it in your hands who is going to question you. Not [...]

  There’s a bounty of beta Game Boy cartridges on eBay. Seller devwan has prototype cartridges for Heroes of Might & Magic 2, Army Men 2 and Games Frenzy, which was only released in Europe online. The games aren’t that interesting unless you’ve been fishing for a copy of Rox. However, he has two items [...]

Thought the HiSaturn Navi, a Hitachi manufactured Saturn/GPS combo, was rare? Think again. Think SEGA SGX. Now, try buying it from eBay for less than 1000$ and you might just become a happy collector. Failing that, and taking into consideration that e-bay auctions don’t last forever, let me tell you a bit about the SGX. [...]

Over on GameSetWatch I see this posting talking about original Money Island art and I get all excited. Turns out to be the painting that was done to use as the artwork on the back of the box of Secret of Monkey Island 3. And where can you go and buy it? In the same [...]

  If you’ve ever considered buying a memory stick pro duo for your PSP over eBay you should look at this guide. Ebay community member Aussieram says, “millions of eBayers have been deceived by inferior quality, unpopular cheap MS disguised as Sony Memory Stick PRO DUO as more than 98% of all 1GB, 2GB and 4GB MS listed on eBay are counterfeit [...]

Actually, make that 21,000$ and rising, as a certain ebay auction hasn’t ended just yet. What ebay auction (I hear your sweet voices menacingly ask)? Well, that auction! An auction that beside the 670 NES games, obviously covering almost everything ever released on the console (thankfully Bible Buffet and other non-licensed horrors are mercifully absent), [...]

  For $274.95 you can be the proud owner of a sample copy of Chrono Trigger. In one of the unreleased builds (this is probably the same one) there are “extras” hidden in the game. The Chrono Compendium has a detailed list of the differences between the prototype cartridge and the final release. Some of [...]

Believe it not the Super Nintendo has a special system designed for military training. A cartridge known as a Multipurpose Arcade Combat Simulator (MACS) is on eBay. This rare game is a light gun game made specifically for US Army boot camps and it doesn’t use the Super Scope. It requires a modified M-16 to [...]

One ebay seller has links up for real working guns modeled after Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. The Ebony & Ivory replicates from Devil May Cry have a buy it now price for $2,800! At that price only uber fans are going to pick this pair of pistols.   See pictures of the Resident [...]

  World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade, an expansion pack to World of Warcraft, was released at many Gamestops across the country at 12AM. The expansion pack alone costs $39.99, but if you’re into the game you really want the Collector’s Edition. The limited edition package sells for $69.99, but it comes bundled with a load [...]

  Mother (aka Earthbound outside of Japan) has a huge following even though a single game was released in North America. Nintendo of America flirted with the idea of releasing the NES game, but since the Super Nintendo was out they canned the project. Prototypes of the NES cart do exist and one popped up [...]
