I should go into business selling NES DVD players,&#8221; remember this: eBay is a strange market that sells to the highest bidder.  Usually only a couple people on earth are willing to pay eBay prices for high profile items.  I believe much of my NES DVD player&#8217;s value is seated in the fact that it&#8217;s a one-of-a-kind item.  Once you start churning them out, the value per unit goes waay down.  And I&#8217;m not going to make any more.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I hope you don&#8217;t mind, but I might post an entry about some more <em>VC&#038;G<\/em>-related items for sale soon.  I won&#8217;t litter the blog with eBay crap, of course, but I might just do one more post to announce another round of <em>VC&#038;G<\/em> fundraising \/ housecleaning in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again, everybody, for your help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the auction ended last night, and &#8220;bunikmonkey&#8221; is the winner.
