I was watching two items on eBay today, the first was a brand new boxed Popeye Game & Watch, the second was a brand new boxed Oil Panic Game & Watch. I was willing to pay max $200 which I figured was a pretty good chunk of change but I just got home and checked to find out that I lost both bids. Both items got sold for around $270 each!
update: Just lost another bid this time on a boxed Simon, but whats messed up is I lost by 50 cents only!

Game & Watch games beat any modern electronic games hands down! They were great…I used to love them.
I had one game with a Juggler on it (can’t remember the name). It kept me entertained for many days at a time.
Also the Donkey Kong game in orange, the one that had two screens….
Oh! How can I forget! There was another Game & Watch with an octopuss on it! Does anybody remember that one? That was absolutely brilliant…Sheer genius!
I remember when we used to get these on the plane ! the stewradess would walk around with a box full of them !! i had a red and golden Mickey Mouse (collecting eggs) ! and Donkey Kong too ! God I’m Nostalgic !!!! :))
