Tanooki | 4,933 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) My account is quite old as ebay originally AuctionWeb (95-97) was only San Francisco, northern CA based until it spread state wide, then nationally. June 9, 1997 is my start date there. I don't agree with what they listed me as buying first because I remember very distinctly buying around half the few dozen Super Famicom games I had in the day in the later 90s when I was in college. Says my first purchase was a 6 Pak - Sega Genesis - Brand New on Nov 3, 2001, and first sale a year later on Nov 21 2002 Pikmin Gamecube, Barely Used CIB. I'd believe that, hated it compared to the sequel. IT says my first 'offer' I won/tried was the RARE Kirby's Dream Land 3 Game that was mint on May 21, 2011. I've never been a fan of doing offers, or watching either much as that didn't happen until 2015 as I preferred just doing firefox bookmarks. I've not used the code yet. Quite honestly I have no idea what to use it on. If I have to just piss it on something fluff like some Nintendo Power magazines or a random handheld or switch game I will, not going to throw that kind of freebie away.

I had a handful of things I was interested in too. Oh well. I'd try the code even if you didnt get the message. From what I've seen on slick deals it's really hit or miss.

I was ahead of the curve in 2001, but sold this game and most of the rest I had collected. I started up again in 2013. I actually started using ebay earlier but had that account banned for selling virtual items in Everquest. Oh man, what did that sealed DW cost back then? Like $20?

NesQuest | 93 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks for the alert. The coupon code was in my messages and used it to get NES Adventure Island 3 for half the price. Appears they have my first purchase and first sale completely incorrect though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 After missing out on something I saw locally that was full retail priced with some minor damage to it, it hit me I had the coupon and it was going to expire the next day, so I used it on that. Got it for $55+8 shipping, minus the 25 which is great and I've got an amazing complete steelbook/sleeved copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy coming for notably less than the local one and under the usual ebay average either way too which is doubly nice.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
