Flashy title, huh? :lol:

This just appeared on Kotaku, so I'm sure some of you might have seen it already, but I thought I'd post about it, anyway.

GameSniped is a site that reports on new eBay auctions for particularly rare gaming related items. Expect to see lists of hundreds of prototype carts, special edition consoles and bizarre promotional items. From a SNES lightgun game that was used to train the military, to a Jaguar dev-kit to a talking Seaman can! There's some really incredible stuff to be seen here, even if you have no intention to buy any of it. Who knows? Maybe a couple more prototype Snatcher discs will appear? ;)

Interesting.. but I believe this will only rise the price of already pricy stuff.

Keeping an eye without buying is going to be fun, thank god I have almost all the rare versions I want. I hope not to find any more...

I doubt I'll ever buy any of the stuff that appears on the site (unless SD Snatcher or a signed (both Shinji Mikami and Goichi Suda) killer7 appears there), but it's fun looking through the stuff. I didn't know that some of it even existed!

Good find. I'm currently bidding on the Nintendo "fiber optic" store display. :razz:

BTW today's special just happens to be Metal Gear merchandise.

Yeah, it's all from Pyhod000, who I've had trouble with in the past. If you must approach, do it cautiously.

His prices are an absolute joke. You can get some of those posters on Yahoo Auctions for $10-20 each.
