Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash - The Tape
I know that the Commodore Vic 20 tape of Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash is ridiculously rare and that boxed copies of it are practically impossible to own, but a starting bid of 2500$ for a tape and a manual without a box do seem quite steep. I mean the tape isn't in such a hot condition anyway... Still, incredibly rich Sierra and Origin collectors should look no further than this very Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash link. It's on eBay, it is.
Oh, and for those wondering, no, Richard Garriott did not create this Ultima title. Actually, he wasn't even aware of its existence for quite a few years since the game was published. Interesting, eh? Well, you can find more about this most obscure of games here, here, here and here.

Mother 1+2 GBA
Might be a Japanese version that -not surprisingly- is actually in Japanese, but that doesn't render the excellent Mother 1 and 2 unplayable. Far from it. They're still great games to enjoy on your GBA. Grab 'em.

Dreamcast House of the Dead 2 Gunset
One for the Dreamcast enthusiasts: a House of the Dead 2 Gunset has made it to eBay, and the seller is nice enough to ship worldwide. Yes, despite this being the beautiful Japanese version of the box set.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos (C64)
I could easily sit all day and post pictures of Infocom boxes, but, well, that would get tiring, wouldn't it? That's why I'll simply point you to this pretty excellent Leather Goddesses of Phobos eBay auction. The box is complete, even sporting that 3D comic and 3D glasses Infocom crammed inside, looks to be in great condition and the scratch 'n' sniff has neither been scratched or sniffed. This is the Commodore 64 version of the game and the seller ships worldwide.

Shiny Unused Intellivision
Unused consoles from 1979 are neither common nor particularly cheap, as is the deal with this shiny boxed Intellivision that showed up on eBay. Better hurry up though. Oh, and seller ships only to USA addresses.
