There are several games with the white INTV label. These are rarer to find due to the fact that they were released late when INTV printed them a few years later along with those other rare games. Phil

Back on the subject, it seems the Quadrun is now over $400. Guess someone has faith in this seller. I personally don't want to spend that kind of money. Most I've ever spent on a game is $300 on a mint sealed Berenstein Bears. Other than that, don't think I broke more than $200, and that was for a proto. Phil

Stick with roast beef. Garlic roast beef in fact. Bologna is made of lips and a-holes. Phil

Thanks. I didn't know hozer had a website. I would have probably mailed away for some games. Didn't see Elevator Action, but he did have Combat II. Phil

Sorry, I accidently hit Enter and posted that. I wanted to know if this box is for real. I've never seen a black & white blank box like this on any Atari game. Phil

I have heard mention of several games that were released at conventions such as Elevator Action, Combat II, and Lord of the Dungeon for the CV. Is there anyone out there that can get me these games for a reasonable price? and can anyone get me a list of these games? I see the Bugs Bunny being released. I might consider getting that, but since I have an original proto, it wouldn't be as high a priority than getting games I've never played before. Thanks for any help. Phil

Just email the guy. In his description, he did put Dig Dug. I've never seen a Ploe Position, but have come across several Pole Positn. In fact I put one on ebay and couldn't even get $5.00 for it. Phil

Or stolen merchandise. This guy might have worked for best buy or something and was sneaking stuff right off the truck and putting it on ebay. Extremely easy money if you ask me. Though ebay must not have liked what they saw. He complains about the emails, yet he keeps putting the stuff on. Weird. Phil

The last time they sold does look a bit fishy, but no info was changed at all, and the games they are selling aren't all that rare short of a few, and even those aren't the cream of the crop. Doesn't look worth being a scam since it doesn't yield high profits. Phil

Well, SS# is a bad idea. People can steal alot of things with your SS# including your identity, and even though Ebay may be a big company now, can you really trust the employees with that info, especially if they get fired, or better yet, get lured into big money, using or selling off SS#'s. As for BUZZ46, I found out the original owner of the user id was from Oregon, so she probably stopped using the id prior to Ryan hacking her. She also probably has no clue that someone used her id to scam thousands of dollars. Phil

Ok, Haven't seen anyone mention Cubanito321 in awhile. So far this person has not emailed me any photos of his merchandise in 2 days. Is it me or has he changed the price of his fake prototypes? I thought they were all at $5.00 minimum, not $50.00. Maybe the stress from all this is getting to me. Regardless, so far the only thing anyone has bid on is the vectrex game. That I can actually believe he owns, since he won a batch of vectrex games in one of the auctions. Any news on Ryan and his whereabouts? Any news on anyone getting money refunded? I'd like to hear from everyone that was scammed. Phil

What I was talking about is that the area code I called was in PA. You can say you are in PA and be in CA, but you can't fake an area code. Phil

Ok, you posted the same time as I did. To your response, the phone number is in PA. I got the answering machine saying this is John Stenson and left a message to call me back. He called me back, so he definitely got my message. If you don't believe him, just avoid bidding, but this one I think most of us feel safe about. Phil

Well, I guess you can say that, but I personally own about 610 or so games for the 2600, including all those you listed, plus alot more rare ones including 11 prototypes. I think many of the bigger collectors probably have most of the games, so it's not uncommon for a big collector to part with his collection. I don't think I'd ever part with my collection. Phil

Ok, folks. Just got off the phone with John. His Quadrun is legitimate. He told me he didn't have a means of taking pictures and that he hasn't sold anything in awhile. He also thanks everyone who is looking out for fraud. So bid away with confidence. Phil

Ok, tried to do what you said. I put ALL for region, typed Commando and it's still not coming up more than the 2 that are listed. Then I actually put company:HES with ALL as the region and it says no entry found. What next? I've never had this much trouble doing something on the computer before. Phil

I just emailed Cubanito321 for a pic of Atari Video Cube. He actually stated to email him for a pic. I will let you know how he responds. Phil

Ok, I phoned John Stenson this morning and got HIS answering machine, so at least the hacker didn't change the phone number. I explained I am a bidder on his auction, and that there has been a series of hacked pws selling rare Atari games. I asked him to call me or contact me by email. I will keep you all posted with this. I should find out no later than this evening, so let's keep our fingers crossed. Phil

You guys are missing the point. Something has changed with the user info today! He might have been on the up and up until today. Then he got hacked, Ryan put the new email address, but left this guy's other info. Maybe in a few days, he'll change that too. You win the game, and you get an email from Ryan and ebay with Ryan's new email address saying to send money to Cincinatti or Kentucky. Maybe the person doesn't look at where it's being sold from. Alot of times, I don't check the seller I buy from. Nonetheless, I will be calling John in the morning and verify this myself. If he didn't do this, I will tell him he's been hacked and that someone is using his id to fraud people. If he is on the up and up, I will ask him to send me a pic of the game, since I was the first bidder. I'll keep everyone informed as soon as I find out the info. Phil

He must've just hacked this one. It's Transformer_addict. He changed something with the info today, april 11th. I just checked the user id. Here is the guy's info as of right now. User ID: transformer_addict Name: John V Stenson Company: City: Lansdale State: PA Country: United States Phone: (215) 362 - 8492 Time/Date: Wednesday, Feb 24, 1999 15:07:32 PST So, the only thing we can do is hope that the person selling this is John. I might consider calling this guy, but it's late here. Maybe tomorrow and see if he is selling the game. This doesn't give the user's email address. That is what may have changed, and the winner may in fact be given a different name to pay. Let's keep our eye on this stooge. Phil

I don't see any auctions by this seller. How did you track him down? I say we keep on top of him as best we can. Phil

Cool, thanks for the info. Maybe I'm touched, but I can't find the label list on here. I am new, but since there is so much info, I come across the scanned labels and only see the Salu and Standard versions. Where is the list? Thanks in advance. Phil

Ok, I just contacted at least 10 of the people that he purchased from under any of the 3 user ids. If the name is not Ryan Kinman, hopefully someone will contact me with the information and we'll nail the sucker. Phil

Good idea Tiger. I'm going to contact them myself and find out what address they shipped to. I'll be happy to nail this guy once and for all. I'm telling you. If I was in the area and knew who this guy was, I'd personally kick his ass all over Kentucky.
