Guys, at least try to be funny and stop spamming.

Please contact our legal department if you want to license my idea. Thanks

You have to be tough to see this listing: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 181569987277

$100 for the tape only? I'm listing my sealed copy for just $999 right now.

And now click on the winning bidder (t***r), 185 bids and 98% bidding activity with this seller.

He did that a few times with me as well, just refunding the money for the items out of stock but keeping the money paid for shipping. Also several times his "new" games were unused but totally worn or trashed.

The sad thing is it is an Goodwill account. In the listing it says "HONOR: We conduct ourselves with integrity". I guess that is their very own understanding of integrity.

You'd think someone with such a high feedback score is a little bit smarter when it comes to shill bidding.... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 311134618788

Well, when I click on an item listed within the last hour it always says at least "5 people are viewing this item per hour". And you have several resellers that bid on anything within 30 minutes after it has been listed. Always the same who put the first bid.

I used to have a full watch list on eBay and almost every day an auction ended on which I was bidding on. I also used to stay up longer (we are 6 hours ahead of the east coast) to check for newly listed items and often it was rewarding, especially on weekends. Also often there were so many nice items on eBay at the same time that I had to set priorities to not overstretch the budget. But that has totally changed, my watch list is completely empty. I no longer enjoy eBay. I think there are several reason for this. Most of the listings are BIN now. If you search for "atari" 90% of the listings are BIN. Almost everything I've bought in the last months was BIN. So if you aren't really quick someone else buys it. And there are many resellers and guys who have nothing else to do than to click on reload every 3 minutes. So if you don't check eBay frequently the good BIN listings are gone.This wouldn't be too bad, if it at least would be rewarding. But the overall "quality" of the listings is going down. Not many rare or interesting items lately. Seems the good stuff is now mostly in collectors hand. When I have a look at the completed listings there isn't really anything that I've missed. So a lot of competition for nothing. And BIN listings aren't half as fun as auctions. No thrill of anticipation of the end of the auction. Checking eBay every hour for just one item per week isn't worth the time anymore. I guess I'll only check eBay once or twice per day now, maybe stop looking on eBay at all. Not sure what is the driving force here. eBay promoting BIN listings over auctions? Less new old stock finds and only mediocre stuff left in the attics and basements? Maybe my impression is biased because the larger an collection gets the less stuff you need. How about you? Do you still enjoy eBay?

If you want to use this forum to sell your collection then you should also take the time to post the pictures here and respond to PM's. This is not Craigslist.

$150 for a sealed Subterranea is very cheap.

Yup. The seller should have taken the $246. That's probably 10 times more than what he'll get when the bidders figure out what they'll actually get.

For a copy cart...

I guess that's their way to avoid more ripped games. I wouldn't buy anything from Venezuela anymore.

And what about opening sealed copies and taking fingerprints and DNA evidence from the cartridge to collect by line worker?

No, but I prefer circulated copies with a price tag over that Venezuelan crap.

I just wanted to send a payment to another member here and all but my own registration address in PayPal are gone. And to make it even worse, when I add a new address the name and country is no longer editable. Beside the fact that the new site sucks anyway, who the hell made this retarded change?

I wouldn't call someone who tries to make a profit by reselling homebrews a collector.

This. Plus, if you are living in a major city, space is freakin' expensive. Having a small extra game room will cost you easily $50,000. Exactly. You can steal the Mona Lisa, but you can not show if to anyone nor sell it.

No one else wanted a sealed Keyboard Component Golf for $15 shipped? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 181552522539

I voted for Rom because he totally deserves it after 10 years of tedious work. He is the one who preserves all the scans and dumps and shares it publically. Without him there wouldn't be someone going to all threads and building a library such as Atarimania. As of now there is only the category "collector", so we could add a new category for him. The rock and roll hall of fame also has categories for songwriters and producers. Just rename it to "AtariAge hall of fame" and then put the category collector / contributor / programmer etc. behind the name.
