I got am email from someone that bought an Atari 2600 from me on eBay. It appeared r be new in box opened unused. He is saying it doesn't match because of the copywrite dates on the boxes. I am assuming that he is wrong because he dates seem to be copywrite dates on the artwork..? It is a wood grained four switch and the serial number in the box and system match at 2xx,xxx. Here is his complaint. Amy help would be appreciated.
Hi, I received the item undamaged yesterday, but on close inspection this system is not a new system straight from the box, but is apparently pieced together from other systems. The dates on the items don't match at all. The box is dated 1980, and the box serial number matches the console serial number. However, the paddle controller box is dated 1978, as is the game, and the power supply box is dated 1981. This is inconsistent with the system being dated 1980. In addition, there is damage to the bag holding the tv switch box (the bag has a small rip in it. My bid was based on a complete, new system and this is why I'm requesting to return the system.
