Marco I think that rings a bell the guy went under the ID Teddy Teens and pimp69 or something like that last year.

Thanks goes out to everyone who helped out. Just wondering how many people actually sent money to this clown and how much. To think I talk this looser on the phone leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

What I don't understand is I dialed the number he gave me and got some different woman's address. Then I emailed him to say I could get him. He then told me to try again and then he picked it up. How can he do that if it's someone else's telephone??

I just thought you would like to see one of the emails describing the lies stolen Qbert Qubes image that was clearly some members picture that was submitted: From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 7:44 AM Subject: Re: Waterworld, Tooth Protectors, Obelix There is currently a REALLY expensive auction going on for Magicard on eBay now. I just sold 2 Quadruns in the boxes. I do have 1 loose copy to sell if you wanted to make an offer. Only one Q-Bert has writing, I just used the picture of the WRONG ONE for the auction! And no, no instructions for Tooth Protectors. They were never made with a box, and the "instructions" weren't really an instruction booklet, just a slip of paper with the basic setup on it. I can print you a copy of the instructions off the web though. Whew, hope all this helps. Ryan :-)

I urge all bidders involved to file a complaint with Ebay, as I did. Let's do anything possible to eliminate these idiots. I atleast would like to see all of the auctions removed from Ebay.

I hope all I did with phone calls, paypal and posts helped save people grief. I like to give special thanks and praise to Sandy Ben PS I think I bang my head against the wall about 30 times if it just happens to be legit

Probably is fraud but I just wanted to make sure he wasn't the original owner who sent the scans to DP and AA.

I a stop isn't put to this It may ruin the whole Atari/Ebay trust for auctions. Many people may refrain from bidding.

Dinovelvet, I believe Paypal will only cover if it is a verified PayPal account which you have to verify and address to the account so be very careful and read terms for PayPal.

Albert how did you get the box? nobody sent it to you from Kentucky right?

Hey wait I just sent 1 cent to see what names were out there. I am not sending the money first. I am nobody's labratory rat experiment.

Well I paypaled his brother .01 but came up with another name. The name emailed to me was Ryan Kinman. The name on the PayPal account is Mark Mechley. I would think brothers would have the same last name. I say avoid this one. The seller needs to come foward and explain.

Albert, he told me on the phone that boxes were his while the screenshots were Atari Age's. Do you know if any of the box images came from anyone in Kentucky?? I for one am waiting until some evidence in buyer's favor can be found. He supposed to send me some close ups of Qberts Qube box. Let's see.

It appears that his website is no longer there. Anyone have any ideas what happened??

Does anyone know if a Sears Picture label Cartridge exists?

I would consider selling all for $20k. Yes it did only take around two and a half years to make this collection.

Rick, suprisingly enough I have been collecting for 2.5 years. I have been extremely lucky in timing to find such games like: Karate Malagai Out of Control Color Bar Generator tooth protector and Complete games like Waterworld Quadrun Glib Mr. Do's Castle Vulture Attack Silver Gravitar Rescue Terra Bumper Bash ntsc Master Builder ntsc Chuck Wagon Gas Hog ntsc Mangia Ikari Warriors ntsc Crazy Climber River Patrol Quintana Roo sunrise Shuttle Orbiter Death Trap London Blitz All Panda Springer 2049er vol 2 Subterranea Mines of Minos many more....

Don't misunderstand the facts. I do believe these games will be worth substantially more but I am not going to bank on it either. I brought up the money and economics aspect because that was everyone posting under this message seemed to be concerned with including labeling me insane aspect. Of course I like the games but I am not going to pull out Quadrun, Lochjaw which are worth quite a bit a really play everyday. As far as the playabilty of these games, I am highly satisfied with most of the common games like combat,asteroids, Kaboom, warlords, adventure, superman. These games are great. I would consider selling my collection if the price and situation were right but for now there are only a few people out there that would even consider this.

I am the insane nutcase-second high bidder for lochjaw. Basically I have a vision that these Atari games especially boxed, in 5 years will be considerably more valuable than today. I happen to have probably all but 20 ntsc titles boxed for Atari maybe one of the top USA collections ever (next to Marco). I quickly estimate Marco's collection to be around $50k today. I could be wrong. Video games today or anything collectable for that matter will only go up in value because it's frankly not being produced anymore. Therefore, there is a limited supply and increasing demand. In the future that spells higher prices. The same occurs in real estate. There is only so much land available on earth and the people are multiplying at higher numbers than what's available for land. Enough said about economics. It's still a risk to invest in video games but you have to believe something in life. Obviously, I am not the only nutcase. Marco, Buy Atari, Rick Weis also have similar views on value. Someday I believe several of you reading this will invest more in video games because you will move into a different level of collecting once you have achieved a certain level. I too wouldn't have spent too much on a game a few years ago but I find myself in a different position when you need only the 20 or so rarest games of all. If you follow the trends on Ebay, you will noticed that the rare games are getting harder to find all the time and are appearing less on Ebay. Chase the Chuckwagon has been out there alot and is considered rare. Just in a few recent months alone the amount of Chase the Chuckwagons have decreased considerably. The bottom line is that this could be marking the end of a low price era. I expect to see rare games to go for more and more money. I believe that video games will only increase in value. Common games like ET and Asteroids I am seeing get $2.00 or more loose. It will happen some day that you may see some of these common games go for $10 consistantly. O'sheas has already increased there prices on these over-produced games. Most of the people are new to collecting on this board. It's understandable that one may not spend over a $100 for an old video game. In summary, I believe this is just the beginning of video game collectables.

I have several handhelds that I would like to sell. I want to get $200 or best offer for all. Here is the list. 1. JetMoto Tiger 2. Merlin 3. Super Merlin 4. head to head Baseball Coleco 5. Baseball Tiger 6. World Cup Soccer MGA Entertainment 7. Toy Story Tiger 8. 101 Dalmations Tiger 9. Electronic Concentration LJN 10.Blip Tomy 11. Mattel Soccer email me!

I found a loose Waterworld and a Proto Moon Patrol. I have picked up about 40 Atari systems in 2 years between 5 and 15 dollars.

Does anyone have these NTSC boxed games?
