eBay Staff: This auction is not a 'joke' and is intended to be completely serious in nature, as far as my personal experiences are concerned.


I've been an eBay seller in the field of vintage games for close to a year.

I've exchanged hundreds of video game related items, new and used, and still do till this day, but I have never experienced anything like this or even remotely similar.

I don't feel threatened by this, supernatural or whatever it may be, but I do not feel exactly comfortable with it either.

Up for auction is what I would call a haunted, Vintage, Video Game System, The Nintendo NES.

I don't really like using the word 'haunted' when describing this, considering the first thing you would think about is something from a horror movie, but I really can't come up with another way to explain it.

There is a local thrift store here in Brooklyn, NYC, that I've been doing business with for some years now.

About a month and a half ago I made one of my visits to the shop and found this '80s Nintendo System.

When I purchased this Unit I asked the owner of the shop about who brought the System in, and what he actually told me was that a gentleman had donated it that same morning and said "It was just sitting in his attic", and according to him, it supposedly belonged to his son who passed away years ago.

At first I thought the guy was just joking with me like he usually does, so I really didn't think much about it at the time.

Unfortunately, that's all I know about the background of this system. I do not know any specifics about anything else as far as the previous owner is concerned.

I went back there about 2 weeks ago to try to find out more since what has been happening, but he doesn't know anything else.

But I do know something is not so right with this.

Current bid is $213... wow!

2. Sounds like that R.F. emissions/ suppression is just lousy.

He says he hears "voices" from the TV at times.
The unit is probably just picking up Radio Freq. somewhere and perhaps is also changing the game settings (the arrow moved by itself).

It's SCARY!

I agree with you... but look at the profit this guy's making. Zoinks!
