anicetyguy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think that they should have put a better pic up of the cart, especially since they know it's rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't take more individual close-ups of it. Not nearly as surprised as I was when I found the auction, assumed the seller was just trying to draw attention, clicked on it, and there really was an Air Raid in it, though!

hhwolfman Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 I am not sure, but wasn't there another Air Raid found, in this Texas Area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well, though it's probably real, I wouldn't ever list an important auction like that on April Fool's Day. Also, since he knows it's rare (what is "10+" though?), why would he not list it separately with good photos? Some people have no common sense at all (most people on ebay).

+Psionic Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Strange that they don't have anything else remotely rare....then Air Raid. So random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWTMascot Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Guys (and gals), That's my listing on Ebay and I'm not an avid Atari collector or knowledge of the importance of games, etc. I had the listing originally posted and one of your users saw it online and told me the scoop on the game and to visit this website to verify it, etc. I can and will gladly take more close up pictures of the Air Raid game and post them on the listing later tonight. No need to be snide and offer remarks as if I'm a dummy or something to that effect. I can assure you that's not the case and I may just take the game off and sell it seperately and end that auction early. I'm not in it for the $$$ at all - just hoping someone else can enjoy the game/system. By the way, we're located just outside of Fort Worth (Aledo). And check my feedback on Ebay if you're at all concerned. It's over 300+ individuals and 100% satisfaction. Thank you.

You really should sell your atari and other games in one auction and the air raid cart by itself. Anyone after Air Raid only wants your Air Raid and none of the other stuff. More pics of the Air Raid will get you more money also. You can expect to get about $1k for your game even with the bad econemy, maybe more.

ninermaniac Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Strange that they don't have anything else remotely rare....then Air Raid. So random. From what I remember about 2 years back there was a listing with Air Raid in the lot that wasn't even mentioned until someone told the seller and then they sold their lot separately from Air Raid. Right at $1300 was what it went for then I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 No need to be snide and offer remarks as if I'm a dummy or something to that effect. It's not that. It's that it's a very rare game, and there have been many, many, many, many, MANY attempts by scammers over the years to take advantage of people. Search the forums for Air Raid threads, you'll bust a gut over some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar302b Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I am a little pissed about this one. I was all prepared to bid some tax return money and then the auction is gone. I guess it was'nt about the money, just a sleazy side deal. I hope E-pay bans this douche. He obviously played the system for all it was worth, especially his idiotic posts here. ASSHOLE!

homerwannabee Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Well think about it this way. If Air Raid had gone for an insane public amount it would have sparked interest in the hobby. If people jump into the hobby the prices go up. If the prices go up you can't get the games you want because they cost too much. So in essence in the long run this is a good thing if you want to get games you don't have. Edited April 4, 2009 by homerwannabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 ...it would of sparked interest in the hobby. ...it would've sparked interest in the hobby. I think it's doubtful that a bunch of people are going to decide to start collecting 2600 games because some game sold for big money. Even if it were the case that a sale of some rare game is going to generate buzz, it's not going to be some weird pirate game like Air Raid.

homerwannabee Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) ...it would of sparked interest in the hobby. ...it would've Since were going this route, it should be would have. Contractions are extremely ugly in the English world you grammar snob. All it takes is a couple of people with deep pockets to drive the prices up. Atari games are hard to come by, and prices can fluctuate wildly. A good example of this is Dragonstomper which went for $75 bucks 6 months ago because of 2 people and now is back down to the 10 to 20 dollar range.
