Title: Store Demonstration System

I am really happy to get one of these.  I've always wanted one, but would never spend 400$+ to obtain one.

I received it in the mail today, and it works great!  I can't take better pictures of it though, as I currently don't have my digital camera.

A: Sorry, I have had a lot of interest on this and don't think it would be fair to end early. Thanks for the generous offer.


Generous offer? And who offered $50 for it? lol.

Great find Limbofunk!  It's amazing what a poor listing can do.  From the couple questions, you'd think that there would have still been enough interest to bump the price up higher than that...great score man!

WOW  :o :o :o :o
This is the best deal and worst described listing I have seen in a long time.  Such a freaking great find, I am jealous big time.  Good score Limbo ;)

Thanks for all the positive replies!  I think that this is the most common game setup that this Store Display had, as I have seen two others on ebay within the past year with the same games in the same order.  I hope to have some pictures to post soon, it's a really interesting item!

That's a nice find Michael!  It's nice to find poorly labeled items that you're looking for sometimes, but there are also times that it seems to drive the price of them up.  I found a mislabeled Flinstones II once that went for at least 40$ more than one that had ended a day before.  Also, I tend to find a lot of misspelled Contras that bring more than what they usually go for...it's odd.  I think what happens is that two or more people find the game, see that it's poorly listed and bid high because they figure they'll get it for a good price and don't want to miss out by a few pennies.
