Auction Watch: Promotional Offer versions of Final Fantasy and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
If you’re a serious Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy fan, well, if you’re a fan of any major series, you’d probably love to own a special version of a game. A new auction on Shop Goodwill that just started today (August 4, 2008) is ready to accomodate you. The Goodwill Industries of the Columbia-Willamette area in Oregon have listed a lot which contains special Nintendo Promotional Offer versions of the NES games Final Fantasy and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
As of 3:18pm CST today, there have been no bids, so the starting price is only $5. Both games come with their original boxes, sleeves and instruction books. Neither game was tested though, for $5 its worth the risk. The auction ends August 11, 2008.
Auction Watch: Legend of Zelda Game & Watch
A piece of gaming history is up for auction at Shop Goodwill, and it looks spiffy. A Legend of Zelda Game & Watch game from 1989 has just been placed on the auction block. The bidding for this rare item started at $2, but already has skyrocketed to $16.55 since the auction started at 6:39am today (March 21, 2008). The staff at Goodwill states that the game looks like it is in perfect condition, with no dirt or marks on the casing. They were unable to test the product though, and it is sold as is. If you decide to bid, make sure to pick up some LR4x/SR4x batteries as well.
Auction Watch: $3 copies of Halo 3
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Halo 3 may have been a big thing back when it came out in September 2007, but five months has clearly made a big difference. The latest Shop Goodwill auction lots prove this point, with brand new copies of the game are starting at $3.00.
Auction Watch: $5 Super Mario Galaxy
There’s a great deal at the ShopGoodwill.com auctions for owners of a Wii who haven’t had a chance to pick up Super Mario Galaxy. A recent auction features a bundle that includes a nearly mint condition copy Super Mario Galaxy, a factory sealed copy of Wii Sports and two wiimotes. The best part of the deal is the price. The auction just started today (February 7, 2008) with a starting price of $5.00. So for $5.00 you can get one of the best games available for the Wii, extra controllers and a spare copy of Wii Sports. The auction will end February 14, 2008, and so far there are no bids on the bundle.
Auction Watch: Christmas, consequences and Guitar Hero III
If you’re looking for a copy of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for the Wii, there’s an interesting eBay auction you should see. A Canadian father in the Toronto area came home from work early one day to discover his son smoking marijuana with his friends. In a normal situation, this would result in a typical grounding. However this isn’t a normal situation, as his father just spent two weeks scouring the area for a copy of Guitar Hero III for the Wii as a Christmas gift.
As a way to send his son a message that he wouldn’t ignore about the consequences of his actions, the father decided to place the game up for auction. So far there have been 7 bids on the copy of Guitar Hero III and the current bid is $122.50. The seller is willing to ship the game anywhere.
Personally I’m thinking ‘best punishment ever,’ but that’s just me. This will definitely make the kid think twice about doing drugs.

Auction Watch: Plushie pink Xbox 360 on Ebay
The Xbox 360 normally isn’t the system that comes to mind when you think of a cute console, but a new listing on Ebay can changes all that. A very creative individual has put together a pink Xbox 360 plush toy. The item was just placed on Ebay today (November 25, 2007) and the auction will close December 2, 2007. The starting bid for the item is £35.00 British, or roughly $72 American.
Inkyfingersjunior, the seller, has 100% positive feedback over 92 transactions, so it is definitely a trustworthy seller. The item is in St. Helens in the UK, but the seller will ship worldwide. The seller only accepts paypal, so if you want to bid you better make yourself an account.
The Xbox 360 pink plushie is completely handmade and almost the same size as a real Xbox 360. It is made of fleece and cushion stuffing, and it took the artist 5 hours to create. This toy could be the perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for the Xbox fan in your household.
This has to be the cutest Xbox 360 I have ever seen. It is just the cutest thing. It could be a decoration or a pillow! This item will probably go fast, so better hurry and start bidding.
