Hey guys! Is this for real? cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2768056732&category=14838I speak little French. But as far as I know "game and watch Tous les modeles font partis de ma collection que je vends dans son intégralité." means "game and watch all models will leave my collection which I will sell in one blow". "Ils sont en bon état voir très bon. Peu de modèle en boîte. Bonjour à tous les collectionneurs. " means something like: "They are in a good to very good state. Some models are boxed. Greetings to all the collectors." Does this mean this seller is selling ALL 59 models, of which some are boxed, in one blow for a price which stands on 3,50 Euro (as I am typing this) ? Can anyone help me out? Maybe someone can read a little better French than me. I've asked the seller but I fear I am too late. Only 1 hour and 35 mins until the end of the auction. sAner

Hi, I was looking at this too, not entirely sure what he's selling but I doubt it's 59 G&W's, seeing as he says he'll send by jiffy bag! My first post btw Just started collecting and I'm 21 from England ;D

Hi MikeHill and warm welcome to you. From the way I read it sounds unlikely that it is all 60 G&W's. If the bid ends too low I doubt very much if he would sell anyway. (There's absolutely nothing you or eBay will do to force the seller to honour their contract if they refused to sell). You never know, his "entire collection" might be just 2 G&W's . I'm not suggesting in any way the seller is devious but the description is just too vague and it's a gamble. QJ

Welcome to our forum MikeHill! It's always nice to see new collectors here! If you want to join the top50 collector list, let me know the total number of the games you have (number of boxed and number of loose games).
Out of curiosity, what drove you to collect the games ? Most of us here were driven by our memories and our wish to relive them..
Pieter, I used a couple of web translation services and you're right. Problem is that the seller later states that item(s) will be shipped in a bubble envelope (!). I really don't get it!
Michael

Hey Michael (great name! ) I've just added a reply to your top 50 collecters post with the information you require. And yes I'm yet another reliving past memories, although being a permanently broke student somewhat limits my collecting potential! Keep up the good work

Thanks Mike (great name! ). I added your name to the list. There's no rush in collecting the games, take your time. You'll spend less if you can wait until the right opportunity arises.. Michael

Hey Mike Hill, Welcome to this forum! It's like Michael says; just take your time, otherwise you'll end up paying way too much. I've made some huge mistakes when I got started. F.e. I paid 27 euros for a loose Octopus with the wrong color b/c (it did have it's s/n though) and I've paid 22,50 euros for a loose DK-52 with b/c and s/n but with a broken clip and crystaldamage ... Both buyers tricked me of course and I didn't know about the flaws. However; even for mint loose items these prices were way too high ... Ah, well ... we live and learn! sAner

Hi! I have seen the seller buying a few g&w's in the past.. I think his collection had about 12ish games in it.
