Nostalgic eBay Purchases

[Brehmington Steele]

Been looking for a Gameboy Color honestly.

It's perfect for planes but you also look like a huge nostalgic c*nt using it

sold my gameboy stuff last year for ~$70

made sure to include this pic to let buyers know it worked, but to also key into their sense of nostalgia :

Once a year I look into getting a complete set of M.U.S.C.L.E. Men figures. Had like 20-30 when I was a kid but always wanted the full set that was on the poster

I found a couple of those buried in a planting bed in my yard a couple years after moving to a new house as a kid, never knew what they were from until I saw them listed on ebay

also found out what these were through ebay:

I'd had them as a hand-me-down grouping of toys as a kid.

I've looked at larami super soakers on ebay, I still have 3 of the classic early ones. but those'll definitely be going to future kids. also had seen a guy selling bulk lots of g.i. joes, like 10 randoms for a flat rate, was tempted to get a few just to stash for a future kid but IDK, I don't want to start accumulating things this far in advance. I've been selling a few things, it always surprises me what things sell instantly on ebay versus taking a couple of listings, or ones that soon after putting the auction page up will have 10+ watchers for the item

Whoa, Brehmington you couldve asked for more honestly. The gbc was clean, came with cables, you had the MSG game (which is rare) and the manual, Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy Legend....Thats some golden handheld piffery bruh

edit: I see Shadowgate Classic in there what a feast

true, but my approach in selling is skewed towards selling sooner than later, listing low to get interest & some bids rather than list for what I want to sell it for (or what's it's probably worth to someone who actually wants it bad enough).

plus having a second account in case I need to boost the price up a bit, in the name of competition so I don't sell it for something ridiculously low

I've had a watch I was selling get 1 bid the first day (of 7) that I had it listed, then over the next few days ~15 people were watching it, figured there'd be a few last second bids as it was closing, and that 1 bid was the only one.

I'm seeing the "watch item" feature on ebay is more like pinterest for some folks, adding things to a "wish list" of stuff they kinda want or like the idea of owning, rather than bidding & following it that way...

Seeing the way people inflate the BAJEEZUS outta their Lego collection makes a breh wanna start selling on Ebay...

You just bought back some memories I completely forgot about. I had this and the one that formed with the cars. I remember they even had both cartoons come on (Cars in the morning, Tigers in the afternoon). don't let me get on my Transformers. Prime, Megatron, Devestator/Constructicons, Soundwave, Starscream...I had almost all of the G1 transformers. I hate I sold them a long time ago.
