Hey thanks. I am not willing to pay 30 bucks for 2 controllers, that's quite a bit taking into consideration I bought my console and a few games for 5.00. It was the best they could do. Go figure.

Weren't 50 Secret Agent protos sold at this past year's CGE fiesta or were they just copies? I saw a few of them up on E-bay shortly after the Expo.

Noone? Jeepers. I am dying here.

That may be true but there were at least 4 or 5 other bidders willing to pay serious money for the "proto (?)", including some members of this board. I have to admit it did make me curious as well but I most certainly would not have paid over $50 for this. I e-mailed the seller and recieved a somewhat disorganized response.

Haha. "In perfect working condition, no power supply". You gotta love that.

Actually I have never been to the Jockey Lot. I tend not to travel too far from home. My wife gets annoyed with me taking the car for half the day on Saturday's as it is. "By the way, honey, I am going to need the car all weekend to drive all through the southeast looking for Atari and NES games.".....*smack*...."No you're not!". There are several GREAT flea markets in the immediate Columbia area here and a new one is on the way. It's supposed to be gigantic. The best thing about the flea markets here is that they are open year-round.Couple that with the fact there are not too many people "down with Atari" here. One of these days I will take a trip to GA and hit up some of those flea markets in the rural areas.

Holy cow. That would really stink if it actually wasn't a proto.

Hmmm...maybe you need to get up earlier than all those other people who list Atlanta as their location...

Great idea. Sounds like an incredible amount of effort tho. I surely wouldn't even come close to having the patience to try that. So like if I sent you my 2600 and an NES controller to you could do the same to mine?

Hey, it was fun battling with you on that Decathalon patch. Next time I won't go so easy on you.

Hey everyone. I am looking to buy/trade for 2 controllers for the ol' Bally Astrovision system. And I am also looking for some extra games if anyone has. I haven't seen any individual games for sale on E-bay lately. Thanks! atariversusnes@aol.com

Hey everyone. I am kinda new to the idea of emulating games on my computer. Can anyone give me some info on how to get started, what joysticks are recommended, etc. I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I think the moral of this story is DO NOT SELL/TRADE with people you do not know off of E-bay. I did it once, got burned and I was FURIOUS for days at my stupidity. You will probably get your games this time but next time may be different. (I think to this day I am still upset over that transaction, or half-transaction for that matter.)Just a little rant.

I have had that happen many times on E-bay. Sumguy will "inform" me that the auction is probly going to be cancelled and if I would be willing to sell off E-bay. I mean, come on, you know 9 times out of 10 that same guy reported you. I tried selling a Parnesian game for Nintendo a while back and the auction was cancelled due to it's content or whatever lame excuse E-bay gave. Shortly thereafter I got an e-mail from a nutcase offering me 10 bucks for it. I didn't waste my time to respond. Those games sell well over $200. A shame. I would hope this is not going to happen with Atari protos because I, like many others, have a great deal of interest in these.

I've seen ALL of those games on E-bay in the last week or two.
