    I had a guy do that to me a while back.  Pissed me off.  I noticed he had a Nomad (I've been wanting one for a LOOOONG time... and STILL want one....) and I was determined to get it.  I had it in my hands... the guy asked for $15.  I calmly got $15 out of my pocket and was handing it to him.  (Keep in mind I only had $15 bucks with me).  A guy from behind me said I'll give you $20 for it.  and the owner took the game out of my hands... and passed it to the guy behind me.  He simply shrugged his shoulders and stated that he was going to sell it to a local video game store for $30.  :(

    I would of called him a asshole and harassed every costomer that came to his table for the rest of the day for being such a prick :P

    Good lord Pov....

     

    Can I ask a few questions?

     

    How old are you?  When did you start collecting? Was most of your stuff purchased when it came out via retail stores? Via Tag Sales/Flea Markets or via online purchases?

     

    Thx,

    Hey, I see a few things in your collection that I need, but if you collected all your games CIB like i do, you would have no room left.  (VERY NICE!!)

     

      :ponder:  :ponder:  8)

    I have about 60 CIB games, they are in the storage closet.. those will be up for resale soon:) nothing really rare,,

    If anything, he burned himself, I just read the description and it doesn't say anything about this being a heavy sixer.  :ponder:  :P

     

    I don't think that he burned it himself. There is something else involved with this. I have a 4 switch Atari with a numer burned into the bottom of the case that looks like the same type of lettering. This 4 switch also has a label on it that indicates it was made in Sunnyvale. Could these be units sent out for display or something?

     

    .. NO..

    let me clairfy.. cheap stuff has a 'plastic plug/cork', exspensive bottles have a 'cork plug/cork'

     

    No champagne you do not use a cork screw to get out, the gas built up inside the bottle pops the cork out, and cheap wine can have a cork.... you're thinking of Boone's :P

     

     

    Sorry either the mother is a bad mom or this is some one's idea of a joke. And whoever it is also has really bad grammer...

    I've opened many a bottle of corked (not plastic plug) champagne,, the trick is to NOT let it 'pop',, hurts the flavor..here is a place that sells Champagne corks

    I think side deals suck, but what can you do, you can't have ebay tell a seller that he has to see a deal through to the end after he posts one.  One time a seller about 3 years ago was selling about 6 different Activision counter top store displays, which gave me the biggest hard on because they were great looking, and the very next day the auctions were pulled, when I asked the seller what had happend, he said that someone offered him $300.00 for all six and he took it, thinking he would not make more than that.

     

      :x  :ponder:  :sad:

    perfect scenario were you should of alerted the seller to let the aucion riide.. inform them that real collectors/bidders most likely will only bid at the last moment..and alert them of how rare/collectable these are..
