Atari_Bill Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Warning to anyone thinking to win this lot. I won a similar lot a while back from johnsgirl2 described much the same as this. The boxes were stacked exactly like this. When I received them every front and back was completely torn like they all had stuck together. When I contacted them they refused refund. I can't say these are are the same, just be aware of deceptive pictures and practices that they do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Atari-7800-Sears-Lot-of-21-CIB-games-Tested-NTSB-/161556781822?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item259d88dafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hmmm, some ideas... A) It might be a twisted psychology experiment for a college thesis by checking on the stupidity of some bidders and how much money they might be willing to spend just to win any auction. B) A way to launder/transfer drug money and appear legitimate to the computers that sniff out fraud. C) An attempt by a new user to inflate (above ZERO) their sales numbers. D) Some joker just trying to get his kicks, and possibly even make a buck in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Vendor doesn't confirm prototype status.

They appear to be soldered on so it may be early production cart before mask rom was made. The interesting thing here is that the picture shows clearly the EPROM labels while the surroundings are blurred, makes it suspicious of photo alteration. Some production batchs were based initially in EPROM until mask ROM were ready. I've a couple of Moonsweeper cartridges here but I would need to remove the label in order to see the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most scanners are very nearsighted and can only scan what's on the glass with clear and sharp image. Anything more than a few mm off the glass ends up out of focus and blurry. With some EPROM, the surface of the chip can be about 0.2 inches (about 5mm) from the surface of the PCB. So that picture is legit. It is still debatable if it's a fake proto from EPROMs or not.
