Dude create a "mystery arcade bag" with a $1 starting bid on ebay.

Does anyone remember what the $1 (or was it $5?) "mystery arcade item" was
on ebay about 3-4 years ago? It was like 100 different auctions for the
same surprise item. The hobby was still hot and people were dropping cash
to see what the item was...but I forget what it was (a button?)..

I'm surprised there hasn't been more response to
this. Yes, I understand most of it is for so-so
games, but with a few NOS pieces, I figured it
would be worth the whole plus some. Hmmm...
what to do...

Heck, somebody trade me something I can use.
