I can understand that the seller wants a maximum out of that, but STARTING the auction at $500?!?! Sorry, that's a bit excessive . . .

He should START it at 9.99 and set whatever reserve he feels is comfortable. I never did understand why people START items at outrageous levels when it effectively discourages bids early in the auction . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Note that I'm not saying this cart won't sell for $500+, I'm sure it will. However, there are a lot of better games you can get for that kind of money . . .

you start at a high level not just to get the non-serious bidders out of the way. Sure, there are better carts you can get with that kind of money, and for people who haven't gotten those carts yet, they shouldn't bid here. There are some people who have almost all the fighting games, and a good condition Kizuna is probably the hardest one to find to finish off the collection.
