I am considering selling my Bonk III - CD game after seeing this first
auction

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=30227
80180 $685

But the other day this one didn't even sell for $4.99!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4315&item=3028110
693 $4.99 - didn't sell

I have also watched the selling price of this fluctuate from $150 -
$300, and my question is why such a huge variance?

The seller actually ended the one by himself, it had some bids on it though.

Looks like the user ended the auction early, probably because it wasn't  
reaching what he wanted it to(possibly $685 like the other one). Most  
likely canceled all the bids and ended it, that would explain how there  
is no bids listed when it started at $5 and ran for 5 days.

That was my auction, and you're sadly mistaken.

I was offered a private bid and accepted it. I don't close auctions because
"I don't like the way it's going". Incidentally, the auction was at $202
when it was closed, which would have been fine with me. When you cancel an
auction you're given the option to cancel all bids, which is why it appears
that it was at $4.99 after 5 days. Surely you don't think Bonk 3 CD would
have no bids after 5 days at $4.99.

wow.  i:m sitting here at the tokyo airport and am stunned at that 
final price for this game.  congrats to joe for getting the price but 
that game can:t possibly be worth that.  but, that:s the beauty of the 
bay of you:re a seller. i saw panzer dragoon saga the other day asking 
$399.99...unbelievable. 
i:ve gotten some great sales away in my time as well so i can only 
cheer the sale for joe.  in any event, let:s talk numbers and i know 
they are available to some people on this list.  what were the 
production runs of the following us games? 
bonk iii hu card
bonk iii cd
beyond shadowgate
camp california
magical chase
dynastic hero
cotton
terraforming

    as far as i know, these were the most under produced us games.  anyone?
