    I have come to a conclusion. I have now inspected more than 4 of these (thanks to you guys who lent me one) and I am 99.9% sure that they are indeed real. These were not made recently. In fact, I believe that these were constructed in Brazil under some sort of contract. They share all the same characteristics that most Brazillian pirates have.

     

    So, there you have it. Real pirates.  :D  8)

    Congratulations that is Definitely a very hard item to find complete. For me the boxed

    Congo Bongo was the hardest to find and was the last boxed title I needed

    to finish the officially released US games

     

    BTW I finally added the original Computer add-on to my Intellivision collection and

    now need a few of the original cassette tapes to finish that part of my collection

     

    I have the following extra cassette tapes:

    Jack LaLanne's Physical Conditioning

    Crosswords 3

    Data Storage

     

    willing to trade for any not listed below

    Jack LaLanne's Physical Conditioning

    Crosswords 3

    Geography Challenge

    Family Budgeting

    Data Storage

    A few years ago I had the same thing happen to me with a boxed Sylvania/GTE Intellivision not only did the moron

    use the actual box as a shipping container after Auctioning it as a mint box but than used the wide packing tape

    to tape down the controllers by wrapping it completely around the unit, there was no way to remove it without

    tearing the back serial numbered label. I did get a partial refund but to this day I have not found the box again.

    For Sale Boxed complete 20th Century Fox/Sirius Software

    Atari 2600 game, 24.99 Plus shipping

     

    Fast Eddie - SOLD

    Beany Bopper

     

    I had both of these games on ebay and was surprised to see no

    one bid? I know both of these games are extremely hard to find with

    the box so I thought I would offer them here to the first person that

    wants one or both and is willing to pay 24.99 ea. plus shipping

     

    Here is a link to the old auction were you can read the condition description

    and also take a look at the scans, to enlarge the scans at the left side of the

    auction just right click anyone of them and after looking close the new page

    to return to the auction

    Speaking of scans I noticed AtariAge does not have pictures of the boxes

    for these games so if Alex or Albert is reading this and would like me to scan them

    just let me know what resolution to use and I will get them sent over

    Please Note I am a little biased since this is my auction but I should mention this is

    the NTSC Ver which is much, much harder to find than the PAL ver. and

    even the Pal Ver sells for much more than 50, Not only that this one is boxed.

     

    I would have to say its worth at the very least the starting bid, especially considering that's

    what I paid for it a few years ago

    This is different than the one you had before when you sold all those games with the initials on them?  

     

    Yes this one is done with script and is all automatic for updating the bids and sending emails,

    the other one was more like the old newsgroup auctions were

    all the updating was done off line.

     

    I was really just curious about how it was done ( automatically ) and started to do

    some research and trials, Now that it looks like I can do it I figured why not just let

    others use it if they want to, especially since it was only a learning experience and

    there was no cost.

     

    Thanks

    Wow, I thought someone found the free auction site I was working on.

    videogamesauction.com notice I used games instead of game, dam when I started this project about two months ago I did a search for names that were close and that one did not come up Oh well I only started it to see if I could get one running

     

    It has not cost me a dime other than the domain name and I hosted it on a free server so I was going to offer it to my friends here FREE of charge.

     

    I have added some features like automatic 5 minute bid extensions on items were a bid is received within the last five minutes and also added an image hosting option were one image can be uploaded to the server or you can host your own image.

     

    There is also a HTML add creator that's not the greatest but it does work if you get use to it

     

    Anyway I am still working on the front page and ironing out some bugs so if you want to play around with it your welcome but when the final version is done anyone wanting to use it will have to register again

     

     

    Thanks

    This is a public apology to Boomtown1971 it seems I stepped over the line and made a post without first trying to handle it through a private message, It now seems so obvious but at the time it never occurred to me anyway I would like say he has taken care of the situation with a kind and friendly response.

     

    I would not hesitate to recommend him as a honest and friendly individual

     

    Again my apologies

    Yep.

     

    Atari2600.com sells them new and complete for $19.99.

     

    The catch? One side doesn't usually work.

     

    I'm going to get 'em all one day.

     

    I just checked Atari2600.com and could only find a listing for the empty box @ 14.00,

    are they listed under some special category

    Request user information from ebay, they will send him a copy also this will sometimes shake them into sending payment as they now know you have there address and phone number. If you get no response from that

    file a NPB alert. if that fails you can always call and let them know what you think about the situation

    Does anyone else see the name Bidiots and then zero in on the idiots part, I know I do and then my mind fills in the rest and it becomes big idiots.

     

    When Ebay first started I would always read it as East bay since that was a term I was use to seeing used in the SF Bay Area

    I need to add I think Bidiots is a great idea and there service is the best, I don't want anyone to think I was putting them down

    I tried to sign up but AOL ate the email. So I tried to register again after I altered the aol settings and it said that my email and username were already taken.

     

    Now what do I do?

     

     

    I had the same problem, just sent them an email explaining the problem and they opened my account from there side, just make sure you send your name and user name from your AOL email account so they can verify your email

     

    Also not sure why I never received the confirmation email the first time as I did receive there response, checked my AOL settings and there was no reason it would have been blocked as its set to allow all email ?
