  1. Everything in these pics are sold. I am sure the new owner will look at each proto to examine them to see if they are wip or final versions as I don't really have a clue as to how to do that. Thanks guys, I will keep my eyes peeled for more goodies.
  2. Hey Tempest, if there is anyone in the Nashville area who could dump them I would be more than happy to let them. The guy I got them from said the white label games were used to get the retail chains opinion on whether they felt they could sell them. He would take the feedback back to corporate and in some cases he said they made changes and released the games to be sold. He actually told me he thought Hold Up was never released and thought it could be a one of a kind which I know is Bank Heist. The DEMO ONLY games were given to him as demo's to be used to obtain orders on released games. I didn't ask many questions, so I am not sure if these are the finals or not. I don't want to mislead anyone.
  3. Hey guys, even though I don't post I still keep my eyes open for Atari related goodies. I met a past employee of 20th Century Fox. He was a Salesman back in the 80's and he sold me this lot of games he had from back in the day. I tested each one, they all work. Looks like Bonnie and Clyde/ Hold Up...became Bank Heist. He also threw in a few Demo Only Carts, Not sure of these as I haven't seen that stamp before. The games are; Deadly Duck (2) DEMO NOT FOR SALE Fast Eddie (1) DEMO NOT FOR SALE WORM WAR I (1) DEMO NOT FOR SALE Fantastic Voyage Proto MASH Proto Mega Force Proto Crypts of Choas Proto Turmoil Proto Alien Proto Bonnie and Clyde / Hold Up aka Bank Heist Plus a Cassette of 4 Minutes of advertising commercials, 60 seconds each of Worm War I, Fast Eddie, Deadly Duck and Beany Bopper I would be interested in letting them go as one lot or depending on the offer..may sell individually. Shoot me a message if you're interested. Thanks Don
  4. Hey Shawn, Nope.. It wasn't me, Sorry.. I haven't had time to mess with Atari stuff lately.. been very busy .. And No..I don't even come here much anymore either .. But I was told about this post... just wanted to clear the air.
  5. Down to $249.00!!!!!! Better jump if you need it!!! If not off to atari2600.com it goes. Thanks!
  6. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:IT&ih=015 I just sold off all of my other carts, so here is the last one! I lowered the cost to $249.95!!! If it doesn't sell by the end of the day.. the listing will be removed and I will ship it off to Atari2600.com. They are willing to pay $320.00.. so someone here is going to get a great deal! If you need this for your collection,better jump now or buy from Atari2600.com for more!! Thanks, hope this helps.
  7. I traded a Strawberry Shortcake game to get the one I had. However it has a very good home now with someone who loves it!
  8. What? No box For you? Sure..I'll put it in a box.. for the rest of ebay land.. bubble mailer with all the bubbles popped..lol Just kidding.. nope no box except for shipping. Sorry
  9. Great snag itsataritime Oh well, you win some and you lose some: I did ask for a buy it now on this auction However, over the last 3 weeks I have sold off over 700 games and plan on eliminating all of my Atari stuff ( except for what I put in storage for the kids ) I have just about 200 or so more and a few rare carts left but I picked up a nice lot on another auction site that had Malagai and wasn't planning to sell it, but as well al know, There is a price for everything if you're a reseller. So even if itsataritime won't give his up, here's another chance. I'll list it on ebay later today. Please don't bash me, I replied to this post as I thought it was a way to get the word out that I am going to sell mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=250237329848
  10. No shill bidding.. I was the high bidder at $12.50 for almost the entire time the auction was running. Up until 1 1/2 hours left. Cincy came in and kept making bids until he hit my top bid. So no shilling, this was a real nice auction.
  11. I messaged the seller, he said the original BIN was $375, and additionally that he was still open to offers. Hey Zwackery, The seller told me he would take $280.00 for the lot. I passed. Someone here may want it. May take less, who knows..? Look at that.. I am actually trying to help someone pull a deal out from under me.
  12. Just thought I would tell you guys the story behind this game. I spend quite a bit of time in Atlanta as I lived in Dunwoody which is just 15 Minutes from downtown Atl ( in good traffic ) lol. While I was down there, over a weekend, I went to Bills Flea Market just outside of Atl. I was checking all of the booths that I saw which had video games and old toys. Anyway, as I have been trained in sales.. I always ask a lot of questions..and one one them was " do you have any atari games that are not on the table?" Well, one guy said he had a bunch more at home, and he was planning on bringing them the next weekend. I asked him and his wife which games they had..and of course they didn't know. We talked about many different things and it was closing time.. the guy told me I could stop by his place and look at what he had since it was on my way. I couldn't that day, but met up with him during the week prior to the weekend. I looked thru his stuff, he had most of it marked for $5.00 a cart.. I didn't see anything but commons and we talked about how he and his sister played Strawberry Shortcake when they were kids. I had quite a few carts in my car from the flea market still and I did have a Strawberry Shortcake.. and I gave it to him. He was going to give it to his sister just as a joke. This guy sells every game he gets..as most of what he gets are from Garage Sales and Thrift Stores. So they don't mean anything to him. I kept looking and saw this cart, it had NO label and never had one.. so it peaked my curiosity. I asked him if he know what game it was..he didn't remember.. so we threw it into his atari that he used to test games. I have to tell you I almost crapped a brick. He had it marked for $5.00. At first I was thinking repro.. but I started to believe it was real as we were in Atlanta. When it came on.. he said "oh yeah" and remembered the game.. He said he didn't like it since it wasn't the regular Space Invaders. He actually told me it was probably one of the giveaway's from coke or pepsi back then. LOL I told him I would buy it and about ten other commons, and he told me I could have it for giving him the Strawberry Shortcake.. As we know, Atlanta is the Coke capital..and this came from a thrift store.. no doubt it is as real as it gets.. So that is how I found it.
  13. Ok now.. I am not going to just sit back and see my name get tossed around as if I am getting every side deal there is. As a matter of fact.. over the last 60 days, I have only won 3-4 atari 2600 auctions and 1 5200 cart and 1 400/800 software game. I have made NO side offers and made -0- side deals. This reference to me making all these side deals is insane. I have done it in the past..and gotten two or three..but thats all!! Take a look at my sold page.. it is no where near what the other resellers have sold..and that includes you atarimania75. My atari buying has slowed down as well as my selling.. I know there are many on AA that have made side deals..and they are smart enough to never mention it. I have stayed away from posting as I told the mods to shut down my wifes Shirleysswapshop name, however this one is mine. Just to let everyone know.. who worries about this stuff.. I will be selling off almost all of my Atari stuff.. (except for what is in storage) as we have bought another house with 6 acres. I will be going back into classic cars since now I will have room for my shop, so although Atari is fun.. I will be very busy doing other stuff. Atarimania75, you turned out to be a cool guy via our pm's so I am going to tell you , this is one argument you will never win, take my advise.. drop the issue. Side deals will end when the Middle East stops fighting or when pigs grow wings and fly.. it will never end. You may not agree with it.. but for the person or people that do it.. it's ok in their book. By the way..what do you gain by arguing? I have done my fair share of it here..and guess what.. even if you win..you still lose!! I have learned this the hard way, There are quite a few cool people on this board..and with my arguing and looking at atari as a cash cow.. I have alienated many of them. That was my fault for not really understanding the importance Atari collecting has in their life. And for those who I have pissed off.. I am going to say I understand why you guys got pissed off and I am whole heartedly apologizing for my past. I can not correct my actions in the past, however I will not cause the same issues in the future. For those who I pissed off..again please accept my apology and to those I haven't, I am thanking each of you for your understanding. I may still bid or use BIN on undervalued auctions..however no side deal offers will be going out! And to CPU WIZ, Yes I didn't keep my word in regards to the Gauntlet/Malagia double ender you sold me, and although I didn't see anything wrong with selling it then.. I do understand why you got pissed off. I guess a man is only as good as his word..and to resell without coming to you first was wrong. And with that, I am sending you a separate apology and I hope you can put this behind you. All I can do is ask. I am sorry for taking over this thread.. however it was bothering me to see me used in this manner.
