Atarimania75 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=120150637412 I think a great way to find out is to offer a side deal for around $500........if he accepts i definitely think its another scammer.

+Psionic Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Aww...no MagiCard? WTF?! I wonder if the seller will take cash in an envelope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 What would all those cherry picked NTSC carts be doing in an old attic in UK? Zero feedback, that's reassuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubsta Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 OK, it is sooooooooo unlikely, but imagine if it is true!! Surely it would end up as the biggest Atari auction ever... There are a surprising number of NTSC carts around in the UK - Iv got 46 myself - so its not impossible from that point of view, just impossible for the fact someone who managed to collect all those super-rare games would just stick em up in his attack...

CPUWIZ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Looks like Palmer Eldritch bid on it. More importantly, Marco thought it would be a good idea to piss away GBP 11.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 "Atlantis 2" - uh huh. As if a non-collector would recognize it or call it that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_ Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Looks like Palmer Eldritch bid on it. I´m curious. I put in a modest bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Looks like Palmer Eldritch bid on it. I´m curious. I put in a modest bid. I got a reply from the guy and he says this was a friend or cosuins or something like that of his that moved away and the cousin person was an Atari collector. He apoligized for not having pictures but doesn't own a digicam. Still waiting to hear back about picking up in person\viewing the items pre-payment.

I´m not saying this is the real deal at all, but the collection would definitely be that of a collector, if anything. Might also explain why there´s no sign of Pac-man or Space Invaders.

No, no I thought the response he gave me was starting to point in the direction of good news. He didn't say "don't know what these are" kinda bullshit. He was to the point and stated it's a collection from someone who knew what they where doing. Still really iffy BUT it's starting to gain merit IMO.

Atarimania75 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Well i am certainly no one to listen to for scams but i messaged the seller and he is either very smart about the way he answers questions or he is really being honest. The way he marks them manual or no manual and stuff seems to add a bit of belief for me as well. I think if it was a real scam he would claim them all to have manuals. But then again it could just be a pretty intelligent scammer..........knowing how to add belief to the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolphy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) I asked the seller for some pictures. He replied: HI well this is all new to me , as i`m new to ebay but everyone has to start somewhere right anyway i have no digital camera at the moment and hopefully will get one as i become more used to this, i`ve tried to list them as good as i could as these were collected by a relative and so i`m clearing loads of junk out of the house and thats why i put them on here , as i said sorry to have no pics but it`s my first time. thanks for the intrest anyway! VERY STRANGE!!! Edited August 12, 2007 by Rudolphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 VERY STRANGE!!! Especially, considering that 99% of all people in the UK have friggin cellphones, most of which have cameras these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
