Anyone want to trade their Pokemon X or Y for my Pokemon Alpha Sapphire?

START DATE: 6/27/11
END DATE 7/7/11 – random end time between 11:30 and 11:59 PM EST.

The rules! (spoilered below.) Read them! I’m serious. All credit due to our friendly neighborhood dv8mad for drafting this original set of rules. I have only tweaked them slightly to apply to a group lowball. Visit dv8cag.com for dv8mad’s Japanese item location service!

PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED: Amazon Payments (preferred), Paypal. Some sellers may accept alternate forms of payment and you’ll be notified if so when you receive an invoice for your winnings.

1) Simply type in your max bid for the item(s) in this thread. No PMs. No Emails. Just reply in the forum reply section. This is to keep bids public. Obviously post edits and spoilers hiding bids are NOT acceptable. If you made a mistake in your submission, please post again.

2) I will update the first page to reflect your bids as often as possible. Feel free to check the latest bids on the last page(s) if you are unsure of the latest update.

3) There is no minimum for any item. You can win them for as little as you bid. So if you bid $1.00 and win it, it's yours for a $1.00 (plus shipping). If someone bids $5 and you outbid them for $10, you may win the item for your $10 bid and pay your bid plus shipping at the end of the sale.

4) The smallest bid increment is $1.00, no $.10 or $.01 bids!

5) Please note that you will be expected to pay the amount you bid plus appropriate shipping if you have the highest offer at the end. Negative feedback may be left for those who choose not to follow through with payment.

6) If you place a bid, you are committing to that item. DO NOT place a bid if you do not intend to keep that bid active. Bid retractions are not my idea of a good time. I understand that sometimes unavoidable circumstances arise. If you are fearful that this may happen, please wait to bid on the last day so you know that nothing unexpected occurred!

7) All bids are welcome, excluding bids from CAGs on any of the members’ negative experience lists. Out of respect to the individual sellers in this lowball, if one seller will not accept a bid from a particular bidder for a given reason, none of us will. You’ll be informed via PM if someone has objections with your involvement.

8) CAGs with over 75 positive itrader at 100% are eligible for shipment before full payment if requested. Please ask if you do not feel safe bidding.

Ending the Auction:
This auction will have a solid end time. I will not be posting the exact ending time, but I will tell you it will end sometime late (EST) on 7-7-11 between 11:30:00 and 11:59:59 PM. Once I post saying AUCTION OVER - NO MORE BIDS ACCEPTED, that is it and nothing further will count.

Shipping/Payment:

If you’re new to group lowballs, this is now shipping works. For each seller that you win items from, shipping will be $3 for the first item $1 for each additional item. Because of the size/need for extra shipping materials, shipping for guides will be an extra $0.50 each. To illustrate:

You win four games from Seller A, a game and a guide from Seller B, and a game from Seller C. Your shipping costs would be as follows:

Seller A: $3 + $1 + $1 + $1 = $6
Seller B: $3 + $1 + ($0.50 x # of guides) = $4.50
Seller C: $3

Some larger items will require exact shipping and will be marked as such. It is up to the individual seller’s discretion as to whether to issue shipping reimbursement if shipping charges exceed actual shipping costs by more than a reasonable amount.

Also please keep in mind that shipping charges for any items won from dv8mad will be higher because he lives in Japan, so please contact me beforehand if you must know if something is dv8mad’s before you bid on it. He is mostly selling JP games but a few other assorted items are his.

Accepting bids from international bidders is up to the discretion of individual sellers, but it should be reasonable to assume that bids from Canada, the UK, and Japan will be universally accepted. Canucks, we know you’re getting boned by your own postal service right now, so shipping costs will probably be REALLY REALLY HIGH if you win anything as it will need to be shipped UPS or FedEx.

The following forms of payment are accepted:

~ Amazon Payments
~ Paypal
~ Other (please inquire with individual sellers)


Handy guide to condition ratings! Read it and be enlightened, you’ll be glad you did.

Conditions and pics are listed for those items for which sellers have provided me with grades and images.

In an effort to make things as simplified and streamlined as possible, a single letter grade is provided for the overall condition of an item, meaning box/insert, manual, and game. Letter grades are based on the lowest-condition component of the three, so if you see something graded “C”, it simply means that at least one of the box/insert, manual, or game are in “C” condition, and not necessarily all three. Basically, things are graded conservatively to err on the side of caution. Anyway:

S – Sealed.
A – Excellent. Case/insert free of stickers/residue/nicks/tears. Manual is crisp and clean. Game shows no wear.
B – Good. Case/insert may exhibit slight wear or residue. Manual exhibits slight wear. Game shows a little normal wear from play.
C – Fair. Case/insert may have stickers, heavy residue, tears, folds, cracks, or other blemishes. Manual may have tears, folds, light waterlogging, etc. Game has a moderate amount of scratches.
D – Poor. Case/insert has visible, heavy damage. Manual may have severe tears, stains, writing, etc. Game has a heavy amount of scratching but will at least boot.
I – Incomplete. The missing component will be listed and a second score will be shown after the I. If you see a game listed as (I-B) (no manual), the B rating applies to the case and game.
U – Untestable. Used when a game is being sold by a seller who does not have the console to test it on.
GH/PC/PH – Greatest Hits, Players’ Choice, Platinum Hits
JP – Japanese region

So, as the Romans used to say, caveat emptor, which I think means bid early and bid often.

July 3rd: Special dv8mad initiative announced:

As some of you may already be aware, great lowball patron and pillar of the trade forum dv8mad’s father suddenly died. dv8 has had to make plans to fly from Japan to the US for the funeral in a hurry, and he’s overcome some big hurdles standing in the way of his making it there, but there will still be potentially big financial implications for him as he has to get his young son an emergency passport or, failing that, a visa from the US consulate so that he can take him as well. dv8 is a seller in this group lowball and we all really want to help him out in his time of need, so we’re holding a special one-day initiative to help him out. Here’s the deal:

Bid on any item belonging to dv8mad at any time between the hours of 9:00 PM EST July 03 and 11:59 PM EST July 04 and your name will be entered into a raffle for a $10 credit for your final total on all items you win in the lowball. This drawing will be held at the end of the lowball. You can see which items belong to dv8mad by downloading the .txt document at the bottom of the OP that serves as a key for who is selling what. Thanks to everyone for their support and our thoughts are with dv8 during this difficult time for him.

Hey! I have a DSi (matte blue model) that I'm asking $100 shipped for. I'd also happily trade for someone else's DSi XL. My DSi is in like new condition, buttons are all responsive, no stuck pixels that I can see, just in generally great shape. Has original box, documentation, and AC adaptor!

If you're here about the DSiXL swap offer, I'd be interested in a DSi XL of similarly good condition complete with box, stylus, AC, etc. Preferably Burgundy, Bronze, or Green, but I'll consider other colors. Of course, in addition to the swap, I'll pay you what I now believe to be the price differential between secondhand copies of the two models, $40. Please contact me if interested! Here are pics of the DSi:

This, yes, is it?





On a serious note, after today's Nintendo conference I'm depressed at the potential prospect of raising $180 for a DSi XL after barely getting what I need for a PS3 :lol: I don't know if I like the HUGENORMOUS size, but I'm a handheld variant whore and Nintendo's finally giving us a stately bronze-brown handheld, which has been a color on my wish list for FOREVER. :bomb:
 
Hello. I have these games available.
:gba: Final Fantasy V (complete)
:gba: Final Fantasy VI (complete)

Were you wanting to buy or trade only?
 
Interested in your tales of the abyss, looking to trade only right now??

EDIT: Sorry- Just saw your post right above this one :)
 
Bump!

So SCEA just announced a Peace Walker PSP bundle with an emerald green PSP. Look like I might have to sell some more stuff off after all :lol:
 
No prob, I fully understand how taxing finals can be. I have my own in a few weeks, not looking forward to them :lol:

Bump!
 
Bump!

Edited DW Strikeforce out of my most wanted list. Played the demo and, as much as I like Warriors games, kind of hated it :lol:
 
I'd like to thank you profusely for encouraging me to take that trade. It turns out that the completed eBay listings I found previously weren't in very good condition, and after checking again I am extremely happy.

Expect many more free bumps to follow!
 
Don't worry about Demon's Souls DE, I've decided to not bother with any collectible items unless I plan to sell them. It's part of my efforts to reduce my game collection, which now fits on one shelf again!
