TheAtariMan Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Well, I was on Ebay, and I saw what I thought was a Quadrun Prototype. So I sent the person an offer and it got accepted. Soon after paying, I realized that it was a Quadrun released from Best Electronics. I didn't have any knowledge of there being real prototypes and then Best Electronics prototypes, which aren't really prototypes, when I bought it. I was wondering though, what is the value of a Best Electronic Quadrun? Here is a link to the picture of the one I bought. Link to Picture It says some guy named Jerry Greiner signed it. And if you are interested in it, send me a PM. Edited September 1, 2011 by TheAtariMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably around $50 - Atari2600.com had one for sale for not too long ago. Edited September 1, 2011 by allhallowseve2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's likely an authentic COB board with a pre-production ROM. So it's sort of a prototype but it's not a lab loaner. Dukes of Hazzard is the same though that game never did get released. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It says some guy named Jerry Greiner signed it. Jerry Greiner is not just some guy. He's a well respected veteran VCS cart collector.

I know in the prototype, the color for the surrounding stays orange most of the time, or something like that, but in the one I have, it does plenty of colors.

CPUWIZ Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They bought palettes full of Atari "stuff", very early on and started discovering things that did not exist on the market or were worth distributing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Quite common, just shove the boards in any case that will work, and apply own label sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ave1 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Jerry Greiner seemed pretty grumpy back when I dealt with him back in the 90s.... I was not too excited to do any transactions with the guy after that encounter. Maybe I just caught him on a bad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
