  1. Your opinions, please. 

    I have an ebay auction running.  Normally, I would not call attention to this, but this one confuses me.  It's for a broken Gameboy.  The ad clearly states that it's broken several times.  Yet the price keeps going higher and I have almost 20 watchers!

    Please take a look and let me know:

    1. Is it clear that it's broken?
    2. Am I missing something about why it's going so high?

    Thanks!

      I can't speak to the reason why it might be fetching a high price but to me, it's very clear that it doesn't work and you're selling it for parts only.

      Hopefully it goes higher!!

      I would put "For parts" at the beginning of the ad instead of the end. People might be buying it to replace the screen if everything else works. The screen is kind of garbage anyway. Modding GB's for better, backlit screens is pretty common. Plastic case seems fine enough. Plus, the price doesn't seem too high yet if that's their goal.

      Thank you guys. 

      I cannot edit the listing once it has bids.  But the theory that someone will buy it to install a new screen makes good sense. 

      It's just weird to me how some items get a lot of attention for no apparent reason.
