    Same two (shell?) bidders after the price went to $266.

    Even if it is 'legit' bidding, a final sell price of $910 is absolutely outrageous and ridiculous, IMHO.

    I'm pretty sure there weren't shell bidders, if there were I appreciate that they did this without my knowledge. It was my cart that sold last year, and I didn't do anything to up the price. Okay, I did one thing, I did not pull the auction (it already had bids on it, I think up to $100) when someone sent me the following:

     

    "I will pay top dollar for this if you have a buy it now price in mind, I

    have been looking for this for years.

    If not I will be happy to bid as

    normal.

    How does $500.00 sound?"

    The person who sent me the email was the winner of the cart.

    Ok, it is official. I'm planning to make PRGE 2016 badges/lanyards.

     

    These are great for helping us remember who is who. Let's face it, we know each other best by our AA names and icons. These are free but you must pick them up in person at PRGE.

     

    I need to know who is going. This isn't a complete list, but here is who I have so far. Reply if you are also going (or if you don't want one):

    Looks like I get the most desired serial number #1! They are numbered right? Do they come with a box and instructions?


  3. Couple of thoughts for expos:

     

    Just because someone is selling at an expo, remember there is still overhead: especially if coming from out of town. Travel expense, time off from work, booth rental, hotel, food, etc.

     

    Don't be afraid to ask, I'm not an expert at game prices. I've had people show me a sold listing on ebay and have adjusted the price for them, they were polite and not demanding or anything.

     

    When asking be reasonable, if you ask for 40% off the morning of an expo for one item chances are the answer is no, and I'm less likely to give you a good deal later. sorry, but it happens.

     

    If there's a large crack down the case of a game, and I'm asking $2 for the game chances are I've figured the crack into the price.

     

    Don't try and return an item hours later because you or your partner found it cheaper (and bought it) at another booth. Now you have two, enjoy.

     

    You can wait to the end of the show to get a discount, but if it's popular it's probably going to be gone.

     

    Don't ask me to hold stuff while you go get money, and then never return or return 4 hours later and be disappointed that I sold it.

     

    Please don't stand and talk to me for 20 minutes about your super rare sealed pokemon with belly button lint sealed in the package that double the prices, and I saw it on a forum, and nobody has ever seen one, and I was offered a million dollars for it, and my mom put it on a high self so I won't damage it, and I fell off a chair trying to reach it, and ......... Especially because: A. I might not care. B. I'm the only one working the booth and trying to help paying customers. C. You aren't buying anything, go tell Corey about your cool sealed Pokemon bellow button lint.

     

    Please control your kids, I cringe every time I see a small child eating or drinking over my stuff. And saying your sorry and walking away when you child breaks something just isn't cool. And yes it happens at least once a show.

     

    Don't leave Rod Stewart CDI disks at vendor's booths!!!

     

    Most importantly, be polite and have fun! Oh and buy lots of stuff!!!!!

  4. I will stop filling orders at 11:59:59 pm Pacific on Monday 8/15/2016. orders that come in after that will be refunded.

     

    If you are unsure what time that is in your part of the world go to:

    Use Sacramento as the place and you will see what time it is here right now. Then you should be able to gage how much time is left.

    But what if I live in Sacramento, what is the calculation?


  5. I've hit a few snags (to say the least) over the course of this project, but I will eventually release this. The project is ~85% complete. I just need the time (and will) to finish up a few things. I would like to get this finished this year, as I know people have been waiting, and I also have another project on the back burner that I would like to eventually move forward with.

     

    I have kept a list of people who have indicated interest (including a few who sent me donor cartridges) and I will contact everyone when the game is finally available for sale. Unfortunately, I can't promise you any more than that right now.

    Glad to see this update, was wondering what was happening and glad to see that you kept track of those who sent in a donor!

    *sigh*

    He has a link to his facebook page were he says he will create any cart you want, and he is now going to start creating intellivision bootlegs.
