At least one of you is running in this contest, and well, I wish them luck. Chances are more of you could be running in the contest, and well I wish you all the best of luck. Oh, and did I mention that we have some sort of tracking software for those collections on that website, and our tracking tools are free? FREE I SAY! Always will be, too. I mean, we're not whores or anything. It's just that when you have tracking tools as awesome as ours, you really want to get the word out.
Again, good luck to those of you running in that contest.
Let's face it, eBay sometimes might really grind your gears. You might even hate eBay and its evil empire. Perhaps you'd just prefer a place to auction your games that specializes in auctioning games. Perhaps you'd prefer such a site even more if it was run by a Digital Press member, and has affiliation with DP. If you're interested in such a place then I have good news, Gamegavel.com might just be your place.
Why should you be interested in gamegavel.com? Let the webmaster speak for himself.
Why is GameGavel different than eBay, and why should you use it? GameGavel.com has the DigitalPress seal of approval, Joe loves the idea and is backing it 100% both with his word and the ability to use the Rarity Guide (integration into the GameGavel site is coming soon!) Further, all auctions feature free basic insertions! I don't believe you should be charged to list an item, then be charged at the end when you sell it! If you upgrade beyond the basic listing, the fees are modest, and the Final Value Fees are lower than ebay every time! Additionally, everyone at GameGavel is just as passionate about Video Games as you are! I am trying to cultivate a Community Feel, by incorporating your feedback at all the sites you enjoy! When a person clicks your profile to look at your reputaiton, they have instant access to your DP Feedback, Cheap Ass Gamer Feedback, and more! People instantly know that you are a good seller/buyer/trader!
Certainly this is a site that a collector could find great use in, and as such I highly recommend that you check it out. You never know what you might find or be able to sell.

[img width=300 height=207]http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-044/bf/U-044-S-01090-A.jpg&sizex=300[/img] Chrono Trigger. What an amazing game. The pinnacle of SNES RPGs, possibly even the best RPG ever made. Seriously, what a treasure. Turns out that this game is up for grabs on eBay. Even more so, the game is factory sealed. Such things, shall we say, are expensive.
So, who wouldn't want to fork over $400 for a copy of Chrono Trigger, sealed? If you are crazy, and would like to bid on this rare item, then go ahead. But, isn't the purpose of games to be played? What would you do with it? Place it in protective casing? Worship it nightly? Play it? That's for you to decide, I only will provide you with the link.
Better hurry up. Bidding ends tomorrow at 3:14 PM PST. Get your bids on, if you dare.

[img align=right]http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/repository/20534560284793bd7fbc6097c95_1.JPG[/img]Check it out. It's a real MACS SNES combat sim light gun. This bad boy was used by the military to train soldiers back in the day. Certainly beats owning a Super Scope I presume?
Well, if this item tickles your fancy and is a must own for you, you have until January 26 at 5:23 PST to make your bids. Currently, the high bid is at $36, but you know, there is still six days left in the auction. It should also be noted that you'll need special simulation cartridges to use this light gun. Fortunately, the seller also has an auction going on one of those as well. Currently, the cartridge sits at $26.
So, if these two options are something you must have, poach away, and best of luck to you on your follies with eBay.

Clearly, it didn't work out. Phillips decided to release the add-on as the CD-i, the system with amazing games like The Legend of Zelda: Wand of Gamelon. Certainly, we are blessed that system and it's amazing games. Thankfully Nintendo has learned a thing or two about whoring out franchises, haven't they?. Anyways, yeah, there was Sony's prototype as well, and we all know what happened with that prototype.
Well, a piece of development history is currently up for auction. Someone is auctioning a dev controller for the SNES CD. Talk about of piece of history, it could be yours if you win the auction, and also have a large sum of money. It could be yours for the cool price of $2999.99. Personally, I don't have that type of money, and I am not a hardware collector. But for those of you who love to collect rare, and I mean REALLY RARE pieces of hardware, now is your chance. Happy Bidding!
