Skywalker Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I am bidding on this game on Ebay..... How do I know if it is legit? The auction shows a screen shot, it looks real but there is no label. Right now I am the high bidder @ $51.00.... is this too much? Just want to know what some of you think about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Well, I wouldn't buy it. It's up to you though, I don't like to spend too much on a game. It looks legit to me. I say do it. ChiefWallace - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 for 11.00 you can order one from Randy at Hozer! Take Care, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Here's the auction if others want to take a look at it. Now, given that the "original" game was produced by Atari for Coca-Cola, I doubt the authenticity of this cart given that it's in what appears to be an Activision case. It's not worth very much if it's simply a copy. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco(2) Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Albert is right, it's a fake. The real one comes in a regular Atari case. As Rick states, you're bidding $40 too much at the moment... Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Yep I saw that. And like Al and Marco said, its a fake. I was once a proud owner of a Pepsi Invaders cart, and it comes in a generic Atari case with nothing else on it. There's also a generic looking white box with a small round sticker on it that says "Atari Goes Better With Coke" on it. This one is in an Acitivision case so it's definetly a fake. Incidently, Pepsi Invaders was actually produced on a regular chip not an EPROM. So if you ever get a chance to look inside a Pepsi Invaders your not sure about its an easy way to tell. Copies would be on EPROMs, a real one would be a regualr chip. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Skywalker, i would retract my bid if i was you.. instead of hoping that someone will outbid you... i see you're from seatle, did you come to the NWCGE meet we had in kirkland wa. last week? Take care, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I just noticed this auuction says 'Pirate Cart' on it. I'd retract and get one from Hozer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I hate it when people pull shi like this!!!!!!!, maybe the seller didn't know he was selling a fake but then again maybe he did. I think on all Atari sales on ebay they should have a small banner on each sales page that says you should check your item with Atariage to make sure you are getting what you paid for.

Skywalker Posted March 24, 2002 Author Share Posted March 24, 2002 How do i retract my bid from ebay? I've never done this before, thanks to you all I believe it is a fake. And you can also buy this game for $11.00 from another website. Thanks for all the Info!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 go to that auction, goto bid history, hit the retraction at the bottom, then enter your password... you can state a reason being that you thought it was a proto you were biding on! not a COPY of the game!!
