    That looks like someone took a collection of different pictures from other people and threw them together for an "auction".

    Thats what i meant by fishy, looks like different background on each pic & a stock photo of the DKjr which doesn't look vintage but like one of the newer knockoffs, not that couldnt happen but just seams to good to be true, might be a good thing i hesitated...

    Was this the deal of the day or is something fishy about this? I saw it the second it popped up and sent the seller a message just asking about it. He immediately replied saying he was in a desperate situation and needed to sell very fast, that they were real and all 4 included in the auction... 0 positive feedback, no ebay activity in a year and a half, just seemed fishy but non the less i clicked back on the auction which was still active, thought about it for a second, thought with ebay and paypal- if it turns out to be a scam i should be covered right, well what the heck... BIN... the auction is over ....1 second before i clicked BIN, someone else beat me to it :(

    You got two heavy sixers, a light sixer and a vader in one place, at one time, for 21 bucks! Hell-of-a-score!

    yeah i saw them as they were getting ready to test them and told him i would buy them untested and thats what he priced them at for me. i thought i was dreaming. he said that they usually end up throwing them away because no one buys them.

    At my loal Savers (like good will but bigger and much better) that used top be in Little Rock back a few years ago i never saw any Atari stuff after going there for months so i asked the manager in the receiving dept, and he said they just throw all atari and stuff older than NES in the trash cause no one was buying it, i asked him how much he threw away, he said he had been there for 5 years and probably for the last 3 years he had them throw out probably 3 or 4 atari's and older systems and games/joysticks a week!!!!! I asked him to hold everything he gets and i would come buy it once a week- and he did- and i bought ALOT of stuff over the next 3 or 4 months, then (you know whats coming) they started putting it up front in a glass case and the prices went through the roof, and the last few years they havent gotten much stuff at all, or just continue to throw it in the trash!! Can you imagine all the stuff that has been thrown in the trash all around the country in the last 10 years????

    This is as close as i have found to me playing Atari, its around 1978, you cant see the Atari but i can make out a few games in a storage case (pitfall, kaboom, yars revenge, asteroids, donkey kong, combat, et) i think, and it looks like maybe pointmaster joysticks with the red fire button on top.

    about 45 minutes ago i got on and got the same message as earlier this morning that said "We have shut the site down to do some upgrades to the site" and havent been able to get on since, the site might be still shut down by them, or now back up and just OVERWHELMED...

    All i remember about laser blast is that when it first came out i got it for Christmas and LOVED it like crazy for some reason! I played that thing day and night for weeks until i hit 1,000,000 and was SOoooo excited i got my moms poloroid camera took a picture of the screen and sent it in to get my laser blast patch, and thats the last i remember, then i moved on to playing berzerk, pitfall, adventure and maze craze!! I dont remember ever getting the patch or playing it after that until like 6 years ago when i first started collecting.
