CARTRIDGE STEALER Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Pretty good selection. A few duds but otherwise nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultramoo Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) Why would I shell out $200 for that? There some rare ones in there or something? I've seen better deals on Ebay. <$100 Edited October 20, 2007 by ultramoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if it's not legit that's really odd. Especially since he offers to let you try it out. I'd be interested in setting up an appointment to come see his bundle, just to see what the reaction would be. I agree with some others here, though. It's a very nice setup, but $200 seems a bit steep. A lot of those games are $1-or-less titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the game list? magicard alone is worth more than that, and there are severval other valuable games listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I really can't believe anyone would say that $200 is too steep when there is a MagicCard involved. By the way the second most expensive one is also worth atleast $200. That being Malagai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way the second most expensive one is also worth atleast $200. That being Malagai. Qberts Qubes Marauder, I read about 1/3 of it and knew it was fake. Some goofball likes getting people to go to remote areas for kicks. Wasting peoples gas and time and who knows what else he has you do but be sure, you can not find a lot like that on Ebay that would be avaialble more than an hour with a buy it now for $200 or less and if it was a bidding only auction, its atleast a $500 auction without blinking or thinking. So no, I dont think youve found greater deals on ebay or anywhere else for that matter. I'm with Homer. To say $200 is too steep for that lot is unbelievable. Its a faked listing by someone who gets their rocks off by sending people on wild goose chases because they have no life themselves. Bored maggots I call them. They should just swallow some poison and end it instead of bore people with fake ads. Edited October 20, 2007 by Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodos8 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, I agree with phantom, he'll probably send you on a wild goose chase to the opposite side of the metro area from were you live. If he picked it up at a thrift he's a reseller, so he would know how much some of those are worth, or look 'em up on ebay, and surely wouldn't sell the lot for a mere $200. Its just someones idea of a joke, a stupid one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidbrad3141 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I think he's just a Nigerian prince trying to sell all his old games to buy a 360 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christianscott27 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nothing will ever top the "Pitfall III - Harriet's Quest" prototype hoax. Some guys built a fake proto and slipped it into the local thrift where a certain fellow collector was known to shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why that would be so strange, I don't know any of those games, for all I know they're as common as Asteroids. Not everyone collects Atari you know. I used to collect Colecovision but had to sell them all, now only thing left from the '80's that I collect is TI-99/4a and NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not strange for a Craigslist seller who claims to have sold 3 sets of Atari games already to not bother researching the rarity and price of the games he is selling? It's not strange for a person to be selling a set of 50 carts where half of them are boxed and 20 of them are rares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach1845 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I emailed him to humor myself and he said someone offerend him 150.00 and he took it. I think this guy selling the atari is full of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Sorry, I didn't see the rarities in there, my mistake. You're right, this would be a good deal for $200, were it true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Franzman Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 If so, I doubt that he cares, since it's now several months later and he's still doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
