**** UPDATE **** The CBF has now been taken down (28th June)Aris - You'll be pleased to hear I've reported again (the 4th violation I've reported - NARU status can't be far off?), so I expect listing to be taken down before it runs its course. The seller really is a tool. Normally I admire persistence as a good character trait. Not this time...

Sorry to double-post, but it's important that people see this (and they wouldn't if I just modified the previous post). The ebay seller who used my pictures in their fraudulent auctions has been de-registered (NARU'd) from ebay -> Click hereI am very grateful to Aris for first alerting me to the picture theft, and to ebay for taking action on my behalf (and on behalf of the wider ebay community). I am disgusted by the behaviour of this seller, who was committing fraud. If anyone suspects that this seller (or another) is attempting to do the same thing in future, please send me an email jonathankershaw@hotmail.com, and I will take the appropriate action. Over and out, Jon (withthewind)

It's official: people are crazy! This item managed to fetch $177 (!!!!!) cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130560373126&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"The display, controls and sound are fully working" - Yeah, only 100 lcds or so are missing and the game was burried in this guy's back yard for about 20 years but other than that it must play beautufilly! I couldn't sell some of my very good sealed blisterpack games for that price for crying out loud!!! Michael

That game is in a right state and that is a hell of a lot of money for such an example, but....
There's always going to be several people on the lookout for a Donkey Kong Circus, yet I think very few people are interested in buying blisterpacks. And you don't need me to tell you that ebay needs 2 buyers to push up the price.

Well, I don't think this item is collectible, do you?

Not to you and I, no. But to someone who is desperate for a MK-96, yes I once paid 450 pounds for a flagman that was in only fair condition, because it was the last game I needed. Andy

I'm sure it can be cleaned and restored a bit, to look better. I wouldn't pay that for a game, but I don't know the average price for a DK Circus. I just can say that it's one of the games I'm missing. So why not, if the buyer can make something with his fingers.

I think nowadays you could get a good condition one for about $150. That would probably value that game at half that, but like I said, some people may be desperate. Andy

Since I'm in the market for a cheap one, items like this that are available to everyone end a bit higher. A few months back yes you could find one for about $150 but not today.. Let's hope that changes in the fall..

Seen this one some weeks ago. He was trying to sell for 900 on BIN, or 750 as starting price. Tried 2 times...
