Ebay title help for a extreemly rare item being sold

I'm fixing to put a rarely sold item, that i have seen atleast. Its a NES PC.... i'm sure some of yall have heard of them. Its a pc put into an original nintendo case.

Since they are only sold once in a blue moon i really need a GOOD title for my auction. People wont be searching on ebay to find an NES PC, most likely. So i need something that will turn up in the search results for the most people possible.

If anyone could help me think of a good title/way to get hits on my auction let me know!!!!

I thought building the thing was hard...
 
well if u want traffic for something that people won't search for, maybe you should pay a lil extra and put yourself in the gallery and all the other jazz that ebay lets you pay for.
 
if you want people to see it, hunker down and spend the extra $20 on a featured listing. gallery if you really think it'll make you a lot of money.

Do a search on ebay, and see what the other ones have.....

That's what I do.

If other auctions have BIDS, I would use similiar auction titles.

TAKE PICTURES of the actual unit. eBay bidders LOVE PICTURES!

Not really.
 
alright, dont get off topic... in the off topic threads..... were disucssing an ebay title, not the ease of making the item in hand.

i do plan on taking a risk and putting it in the gallery and what not, and loads of pictures... possibly even my drivers license next to it incause people dont believe it 😛

Well, I'll put it this way. The average modder charges $50 for his services, which is MUCH harder then fitting one of those ultra-small boards into an NES case . . . my prediction is either it'll go for less then cost, or it'll go for a whole hell of a lot of money because two morons start a bidding war.
 
i was thinking something like.... NES PC amd p4 ram hd nintendo......... but replacing words post "NES PC" with words that have a high search rate. Anyone know of a site that has any popular ebay search words?

You'd be surprised.. not a lot of OEM tech products sell on ebay.

yeah thats what i was figuring, but though are just short key words i could come up with on the spot.

Anyone wanna give me an example of another?
Start spitting them out.
 
I'd like an NES PC... but it would be worth much more to me if I built one myself using one of those guides I've seen online. Cheaper too I'm sure.

Still, I'd like to look at the auction once it's up.

EDIT: You could throw little stuff into the title like "LOTR", "PS2", "SOJ".
 
You'd also be surprised by what does sell. Make it the maximum length, well written and detailed, plenty of pictures, and pay for those extra features EBay provides.

People WILL see it. How else do you think people post auctions for us to see on ATOT. A lot of those are random as hell, and a lot of em you would argue that barely anyone would see, but eventually it gets passed around and a lot of people see it. Whether people will want to buy it, I can't say for sure. Post a reserve if you're not sure about the bidding. Oh....and you can link us to the auction page, and we'll check it out : P
 
I'm assuming it's a mini-itx right? I seem to remember one going for about $600, this was a long time ago, a couple of months after it was featured on mini-itx.com

<edit> I'm pretty sure he got $910 for it, but the item is so old it's no longer in ebay's database. Good luck!
 
Be sure to put Nintendo along with NES.

And if you ask for naming advice on enough tech forums, you should get some interest in your auction 🙂 .

Yeah, but I think that one was featured on "The Screen Savers" so it probably got more attention
