Yes, we just moved and have to unpack it. It's been in my DS case with all my other games. When we ship the game it will have the original case for you =D
If bids reach half of the GIN value it gets taken off. Now it's down to who will be highest bidder. That's the downfall to the GIN it has to be used pretty quick or the chance is gone.
Yeah I found that not to long ago when I earned the GIN feature. It really sucks and it is one of the major draw backs on it. I wish you all the luck in the bidding though.
