    So in about a month, I am probably going to be obtaining a large amount of disk betas for Saturn, PS1, PS2, XBOX, Dreamcast, etc. There are going to be so many that I am probably not going to want to go through all of them, so I am thinking of doing a random 10 betas for $50-125 but GUARANTEE that in ONE of the TEN groups of games will have something worth a good amount of cash (Final Fantasy as an example). I am not sure if anyone has interest in that, but I am pretty sure I will have so many games that it will be almost a necessity to do it this way. In any event, let me know what the interest level is in this. There is ONE party that has first dibs on this stuff, but I am not sure how much of it he is going to want.

    I would also be interested. Mystery auctions are always pretty fun, so a dev one would be fucking marvellous.

    I think i'd be in too, not very sure as it would be my first time participating in something like this. If someone could guide me on how to do the payment and stuff, then i would be glad to participate cause i'm very interested in those dreamcast and PS2 betas

    Well, I have not put anything for sale "yet", I just wanted to gauge some interests first. What I am going to do when I get all of these games in a bout a month is put them in spindles in the Buying/Selling Marketplace, and sell them that way in groups. The groups are probably going to be System specific, and will probably be differently priced. I don't there is anything against the rules as long as that is posted in the Marketplace with a picture, and my name is on it, and prices on each group. I've been on here longer than most people, so I'm not going to rip anyone off. There is a LOT of interest in these games so far, and I have to say if anyone wants SPECIFIC games, they are going to be more money and will be separate from the "bundles."

    There will not be doubles in each bundle, there will be 10 different games in each bundle, and like I stated before, I will have a GUARANTEE higher money game in one of every five bundles.

    In order of pricing from highest to lowest

    Dreamcast
    Saturn
    GameCube
    PlayStation
    PlayStation 2
    Xbox

    Dreamcast and Saturn will probably be higher than the original estimate because of the small volume I will be getting of those, but I will have more XBOX and PS2 than anything as far as I know. More info in mid Nov.

    Hmm that should give me some time to save up :p
    We're probably talking 'a certain developer' here, aren't we?

    As it's impossible to ascertain that the lots are really blindly picked
    without taking all the good discs first, I won't allow this sale.

    This in no way says that something bad is going on, it just means
    that something unverifyable is occuring.

    They used to do this in prospecting times, take a dead claim and
    seed it with some gold to get people to buy into a worthless lot.

    No offense to anyone, but I don't allow any blind lot auctions or sales on the site.

    Sales are per item or fully disclosed lot with a set price, or via auction.
