    Bought an intelly lot and ended up getting more games then we had agreed on, even spent time asking how I wanted things shipped and found the cheapest option for that. Really a great deal, thank you again.

    Frenzy was always one of my favorites and the CV version is good but I bet the 7800 could be even better. Berzerk was a great game but Frenzy made it just about perfect.

     

    I still miss my dedicated Frenzy cab I used to have, it was in superb condition. I think I've only seen one or two other dedicated cabs since. If I find one again I'll grab it, so many good memories.

    It's a strange thing, but the fact still remains that only about 10,000 of these were made.

    Yeah but 10,000 is still quite a few, do you think there are 10,000 atari collectors? I always thought Quadruns rarity, at least loose, was over rated. I think there are many R9 games that had a lot smaller of a production run.

     

     

    I agree that 10,000 is a pretty good number compared to some other releases but this has been a hard game to find for some time, just seems it has gotten easier. Who knows for how long though? With an original run of that much I do kinda question the rarity rating.

     

    To Homer, how much would a shrinkwrapped Motorodeo have gone for 7 years ago?.......

    Don't get me wrong, I was thinking about going close to that for a good copy of that game but I have just put it on the back burner for now. There are a few other games I would rather have in the $100 and over category right now just because I don't see them every one or two months for sale.

     

    I wish I would have bought a couple of his games last year before people knew he was a trusted seller, some of his auctions went really cheap just because of location.

     

    I would like a Quadrun, but I really do wonder how many more are going to be offered in the next year and really wonder about a box or two of new ones turning up in the future.

    I had been watching that one as I do all his atari auctions lately. It would be better if he ended them in the evening instead during the middle of a weekday.

     

    I wasn't willing to go that high though because I think this is one of those titles that will be going for a lot less in the next couple of years. When will the shrinkwraped copies start being available?

    At least it went to a good person, awesome deal. I missed the end of this but was only going to go up to $100, sometimes you take a chance, you were willing to chance it more. I had the same thought about the stickers but wasn't willing to go crazy so $100 seemed right to me, you just never know.

    I am interested in the Blockade Runner and Sewer Sam, if nothing else just because the carts are so different from other ones. Can you post a link to the auctions when you list them?

    I was thinking that but the other three did also suffer from bad shipping. Don't get me wrong, I have never left a neg before but honestly in 400+ transactions luckily I have never had a problem, I have never even complained before. I realize $15 isn't bad but I spent that thinking I was adding to my collection, not putting a 'placeholder' in my collection. I'm thinking of just letting it pass but then again I don't want anyone else to buy from a person who just does not care.

    Honestly though, I am the first person to ever complain about no end label or shipping in an envelope? That right away should tell you this person has no experience selling games.

    I have been tossing this back and forth the last couple days. It's not a lot of money but it kinda burns me. Here is what I sent to the buyer:

     

     

    I am very unhappy with this purchase. It should have been noted the cart had no end label. I now noticed the picture was taken in a way that a buyer could not tell. I would not have bid on it let alone spend over $15 had I known it had no end label.

     

    I don't mind paying $5.50 for shipping when it only cost $2.50 as long as it is shipped properly. Carts should be in a box, not an envelope and it was post-marked 6 days after I had paid.

     

     

     

    This was the response:

     

     

    i don't collect or keep these cart so the end label means nothing to me , that would be your own fault for not asking the question of the end sticker. i have hundreds of these games in plastic totes and have sold hundreds of these already. you are the first person that ever said anything about an end sticker or the bubble envelope i put then in . sorry for your disappointment .

     

     

    Seemed kinda rude to me. I got three other games too because nobody else bid, I like to try and maximize on shiping even though I already had the other three and figured I might trade them some day.

     

    He has 23 ratings and his levels are just barely above 4, only 2 other sales in the last 90 days and none for games, so he obviously didn't sell 'hundreds' on ebay. If I left 4 negs, low stars for him with the new system would that suspend his account? That seems kind of extreme to me, I don't want to hurt the guy. I am kinda upset though.

     

    The other games added up to less then $3 and were all R4 and in pretty good shape, so that was a good deal. The point is I didn't even want the other three but the R6 I didn't have doesn't have an end label and I display my carts with end label showing so it is just a black piece of plastic now.

     

    Should I just let this go?
