I’m high bidder on both auctions, but will probably not bid again on the display again if I get outbid just to avoid the shipping headache.
For other USA bidders, you can always go to the website Uship.com and get shipping quotes from independent drivers that bid against each other for the cheapest shipping cost on these pesky “Local pickup only” auctions. If I win the auction, that’s the route I’ll go.

Good luck on winning that display stand! I’m not bidding at all, so I hope someone from here wins it! Might as well be you! Hopefully it won’t go much higher in price for you. I’ll be watching out of pure interest. Let us know if you win.

I bid due to the price and opportunity. I hope someone else here wins it since I just spent a good hunk of cash on KR155E’s prototype USA Pre-Production console, but I simply couldn’t pass up bidding on a complete Floor Model Display at this price. I have fond memories of playing Red Alarm on one of these puppies at my local Toys R Us as a kid. 🙂

Funny you say that. I have worked at Toys R us for the last 15 years! I remember those display’s being there too! Check this out, about 1999 they had me clean a room out and there were virtual boy laser disc promo disc’s, for the hit the button watch the Nintendo promo kiosk. This was pre DVD for me, and I had no idea what a laser disc was. I could of had em! A few years ago some of those disc’s sold for over $1000. I would not have sold them but ohhh if they could be in my collection today :{! Plus I remember Virtual boy’s selling for $24.98 in the clearance bin! If I only knew then what I know now! BTW, some of those kiosk promos are on youtube.

Awesome, I remember those push-button video kiosks. Don’t beat yourself up over the laserdiscs, hindsight is always 20/20. Most of us have quite a few stories about the “ones” that got away.

I was outbid on the floor display with 12 seconds left, is the lucky winner a user here? I would have bid again, but as I said I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the shipping headache. Anyway, this thing ended for a fantastic price IMO.

$306 is a good price! Too bad it wasn’t you! Anyone here win the auction?

.. Wait a tic.. it sold for $306? I am posting this fro a hospitak bed so i cant check ebay. I had bid $400 before i went into the hostpital, but that was 4 days ago – no way I could snipe the bid.

I wonder what hapened

Wow, what a bummer. Guess your bid didn’t go through, I was high bidder for $301.01 for days before the auction ended and only one person sniped at the end.

I hope you’re feeling well or get well soon.

Dammit. I had bid $300.00. Argh.

Oh well. Let’s just hope/pretend the high bidder bid an insane amount at the end. $306 is such a killer, I paid more than that for my lowly platform display.

Seems to be a cool week for fliers. 😮

Wish we had the great Yen exchange rate that was going in in March/April. Of course, that was surely due to the height of the horrible and devastating state Japan has been in from the Tsunami.

Congrats mawa. 🙂

Also just wanted to mention this auction with the blue carrying case. Just so people don’t get fooled and bid it up like crazy, that blue carrying bag is for the NES console and not really that rare. Just a heads up, so nobody accidentally thinks it’s a rare VB bag.

I figured it wasn’t rare VB bag since it only said “Nintendo” and not “Virtual Boy” also
