SteveW Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 That's a nice little scam to get people looking at his auction. There's no way an NES is worth $66, especially because it's got the blinking screen syndrome. But say it's haunted in the auction, and people will pay more for it. I don't look at eBay too often, but even I've heard of this kind of thing before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega saturn x Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 If some one is actully dumb enough to bid they deserve what they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 What a crock! lol.... So the Nintendo is DEFECTIVE because the controller chip is screwy and pauses and unpauses and goes up and down by itself. Great,... so give up the fact of playing the NES at all.... man... I know the next time I get a dead NES or DEFECTIVE NES I'll list it the same way as being haunted, that's why you can't use the 2nd controller ports sometimes. And as far as duck hunt goes.... you can't shoot and aim at the ducks properly because casper will move your gun right before you shoot (because the gun _is_ defective!) haha..... Oh well... It'll hit $100... watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 That's it, from now on all of my broken crap goes up on ebay as "haunted". One born every minute, right P.T.? -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 With all the toaster NES's I've seen get tossed by various people for blinking I could have made a small fortune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 How odd, I have bought many systems at thrifts and as far as I know none of them have put any Vodoo curses on me, or MAYBE thats why I suck so bad at certain games hmmmmmm. Will have to think on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I guess that every copy of Windows is haunted as well. That's very funny. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedmarlowe Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Aside from the whole reality of the crappy system, I hate that stuff. It's like I don't believe it, but I can't stop reading it. It scares me, I always watch those caught on tape shows, too, with the voices. I get all parenoid and turn on all the lights... I think it's just the possibility of it that drives me nuts.

moycon Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 BID NOW! MOYCONs HAUNTED DVD Yesterday while watching my copy of The Evil Dead DVD the picture went all pixilated and strange sounds that sounded like voices started coming out from my TV! These voices seemed to say.... "DO NOT TREAT THE DEATH AS IF IT WERE GOOD, INSTEAD DO WHAT THE OVERGROWING MASSES OF EVIL RISING." This seemed very odd to me but I quickly put it out of my head, chalking the whole thing up to a bit of undigested cheese or a blot of mustard. A short time later, The picture just FROZE!! That wasn't all the froze I can you, the blood in my veins froze as well. I was really freaked out about this and immediately went to turn off the DVD, things went from bad to worse however, I stubbed my toe on the coffee table when attempting to remove the DVD from the player, and my cat (who is black) farted at that exact moment!!!! Now I don't know if this DVD is cursed or haunted and I can't guarentee that the you will experience the same weirdness as I have, but please bid on this DVD so I can get it out of my house before it drives me.....INSANE!!!!!!!!!! Result after 5 days. Winning bid: US $210.50 WOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Dear gods, even this forum is haunted! There I was, watching my screen in fear, having read of the strange and supernatural horrors of the NES, and BAM! More and more writing kept appearing in the thread, and there were NO HANDS WRITING IT!! It's devil's magic I tell you! Help! If there is one constant in the universe, it's that dumb people are the basic building blocks of society. The bid is up to 177$ I think I'll send the winner a free copy of Taboo, the Sixth Sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dones Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 A very nice person recently emailed me and asked if I felt the type of presence with this Nintendo was Evil. Honestly, I don't believe that its Evil, I never really felt any type of negative vibes. It is Evil I tell you! Evil (with capital E)! Remember that Nintendo means: "to live in the clouds". The Evils of the clouds have come to haunt us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efdious Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wow. Brooklyn. What do you guys expect? I'm surprised neither Spengler nor Stanz have bid on this puppy yet... you know, since they're right around the corner. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hey my Mouse is haunted! Sometimes the cursor just slowly moves across the screen when my hand is not even on the mouse! Maybe I should sell it on ebay.....LOL I've noticed that my mouse does that when I'm on an airplane...weird. Must be noise from all that 400Hz electrical wiring in the walls.

rockman_x_2002 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hey my Mouse is haunted! Sometimes the cursor just slowly moves across the screen when my hand is not even on the mouse! Maybe I should sell it on ebay.....LOL Actually if it's an optical mouse it will do this. Mine does this from time to time too. Not sure why but for some reason the mouse sends a signal that it's moving even if it isn't. You'll notice sometimes that the light "brightens" when the computer moves the mouse by itself. It's almost like it gets jammed somehow. ... or maybe mine's just haunted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
