There is currently a Computer Space up on e-bay, a no reserve auction. The opening bid though is $8,000. Is it just me or is that the same as a reserve? Besides $8,000 being as high as Tommy Chong Isn't that a reserve? I see this all the time on Atari games, big letters proclaiming 'NO RESERVE!' but the opening bid is $50 or $100. Cut the crap, no reserve should start at 0.0 and go from there. I guess it maybe saves money not setting a reserve? But doesn't having a high opening bid increase the listing fee anyways? Just a little thing that has always annoyed me, I'm done.

I sure would love to have the Mnetwork/INTV games in different cases. There is no good way to display the darn things! Can't stack them, can't put them sideways, they have always been the least favorite part of my game collection. Just the carts mind you, I do enjoy some of the games.

Good one. I was thinking maybe an evil Jaguar cluster to take over the worlds internets. edit: Just had to add that really made me laugh remowilliams, very good one.

What are you going to do with all thes Jags?

Damn, $250, Damn. Anyone out that way coming to Florida anytime soon?

Ordered two of them tonight. I will be sure to share my thoughts when they arrive.

Got mine today and this thing is way cool. I was expecting a few sounds but it plays the whole startup sequence, a bit of the game then Pac Man getting killed. Also the whole cab lights up. I guess it's not entirely 2600 related but it is entirely cool. My other favorite is 'The trouble with tribbles'. It is Kirk in a little chamber with tribbles falling over his head and he talks.

Got my package today, great job. I left you a reply on the feedback forum too. Fast shipping. Great deal. Thank you

Just received some 2600 games and everything was great. Fast shipping, great packaging, great deal. Thank you much.

Definetly looks like the Pac Man listed there. Guess we know it was called Mr. Gobler now. All it says though is V-case, is the actual company that made these not known yet?

Combat was a two player game. I remember when my brother or a friend were not around and trying to play it, just did not work. If you had another person this game was great.

I have searched all over here and Atarimania and can find nothing about this cart. Obviously it is a pirate of Pac Man but any idea from what company? goblerfront.bmp goblerend.bmp

First games were Combat that came with the system and Space Invaders, that was a great Christmas. Played the life out of both of them. Still can play both of them and have a great time.

Like I said I hardly ever sell, two years ago I needed money and sold my extra Crazy Climber and some comics. I am one of those people who has a hard time getting rid of things, yes I have a disease. I really should get rid of my dupes but I always think maybe I can trade them one day for something I want. How long though until the casual seller is no longer welcomed? Seriously. I compare it to modern flea markets. When I was a kid a flea market was like a giant garage sale, you never know what you might find. Now most are booths of cheap China products, a heavily bastardized Wal-mart, cheap tools and trinkets and socks. You still have a few guys selling stuff but they are mainly mass produced junk, the guy or two selling games for twenty times what they are worth and the guy selling incense. I was proud of my lifetime totals, now they mean nothing. Over eight years with not one neg or nuet now my only info is the last few purchases I made. The no negs on a buyer has to be one of the worst ideas ever. Personally I still always think like a moral person and would never do anything to hurt my reputation but we all know there are too many people who could care less. Now nothing can stop them, don't want to pay? Who cares. Feel like a seller might cut into your sales, just buy something cheap and leave bad scores to try and get rid of them. What about buyers only not being displayed during an auction but even after now? Huh? I just do not get this one and it really irks me. Can you say shill bidding any phony auctions? Price manipulation? Like I said, I have a problem selling things but when I do I know it will be on CTCW. Already have an account so no freebies for me and I think you might want to reconsider your momoent of frustration statement there Mike, don't cut off your nose to spite your face. In conclusion, fbay is becoming that dirty 'Bazaar' in the bad part of town instead of the family friendly flea market it used to be. Now for a good site to auction other items, I love auctions. Maybe CTCW needs to expand some to sell the wifes items too....

I have only sold a few things long ago so will I still be able to sell since last time I did they did not have this new rating system yet? Technically I am at 0. What if I sell two items and one guy is a jerk, will I be banned? How the heck do you then improve your score? Seriously, if you can't sell how do you change it? Wait twelve months for it to reset? That upsets me too, the twelve month thing, I have never had a neg or neutral but if I don't buy for a couple of months I am basically back to zero. Where are the lifetime totals? I could go on and on, it just plain sucks, they have pretty much ruined it for sellers and in the process made it harder on buyers because honest sellers have no protection. As mainly a buyer though there are still some good deals to be had. Sometime you almost feel bad, I won a ten cart lot the other night for 2.50 which included Crypts Of Choas, Beenie Bopper, Fast Food, Fast Eddie, and commons. $5 shipping, after auction fees, paypal fees, listing, etc... the poor guy makes basically nothing, what is the motivation for him to sell anymore?

PM sent. Hopefully I am not too late for the games I want. Thanks:)

I mean is it just some homebrew stuff or is it maybe something good?

I sometimes take a lot longer then 20 minutes to make multiple purchases but after rereading your post I see the problem. If they requested an invoice they are done and anything else they buy is seperate in my opinion.

I have one of those too. They don't seem to be all that rare, if a regular Joust is a 2 this is maybe a 3? Or is this hard to come by? I might be biased because I've had it for years from a larger lot so I have never tried to find one.

Ok, I thought that the idea for the Motorodeo and Ikari poll were long overdue, hopefully we will see something happen with the results. I think it is time to go through the rest though. Not every cart but right now the carts just wrong like blue label Skiing, the other end of the spectrum, carts rated way too low. What carts do you think need to be higher? Lets discuss and maybe agree to take opinions on a few. Should not this site be the end all be all of Atari?

Nice pick up Wonder007.

Pepsi Invaders ends after three minutes and you get the 'Coke Wins' message. Did you get through four levels and die before three minutes or does it keep going? Maybe it really is an early WIP before they decided three minutes was enough. Also an interesting question is what about someone making repros eight to ten years ago? Could raise some interesting issues....

I think two more would finish it off nicely. At least they are free.

He has a couple of facts but the picture is the same one from the atariprotos site, wouldn't you take a new one? It has the same cropping on the pic and all. So, real?
