Just FYI -- the seller and I failed to reach an agreement; I assume this
means he'll be relisting it (hopefully with a starting bid or reserve that
matches his expectations).

I told him he might get $500 in untested condition, a
lot more if it
works. Video, good pics, be ready with a ship quote, etc. He may have
asked more than just me, but that is what I told him

It was me. Despite the listing being "local
pickup only" the description
notes that the seller's willing to arrange shipping (it just won't be
cheap). So I put in a lowball bid on it. Did not expect to be the high
bidder, definitely did not expect to be the only bidder.
That said, immediately after the auction ended, the seller contacted me
and explained that he'd screwed up; he's new to eBay, couldn't figure out
how to set a reserve (or an opening bid amount, apparently) and just
couldn't let the thing go for $5. Since I'm not completely heartless
(just
mostly) I'm trying to work something out with
him, but we'll see; he
seems
to think it's worth a fortune -- I'm not
so sure. (Rare doesn't
necessarily equate to worth and all that...)
If I do end up with the system, I'll dump the ROMs, etc.
