Tanman Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Wow - I thought for sure that this auction would be over today and the joke revealed. It looks real at this point. Incredible find. I do want to know when Al found out that a box existed and if he or others planned the April 1 tie-in to make us go crazy over the news. The bad timing was all my fault. Correct me if I am wrong, but Revolutionike, weren't you the one in Chat on Tuesday night that I first spoke to about having the box? I then posted this thread and all hell broke loose.. HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Www.joystiq.com has a blurb. Also, I am type everything on my iPhone. I hate the auto-complete function. Group = groping and earlier manual = Manila Really? Manila is more used than manual? Looks like your carpet is going to get more photo exposure than your actual face.

Cebus Capucinis Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hey, when you think about it, he's one of the very few AA members that we actually have in-person pictures of, and that was from post 1!

hhwolfman Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Won't go that high. I'd be surprised if it goes far beyond $10k. Crunchy Love ya like a brother, But I have to side with Shawn. At least 15k.If it actually ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valler Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Over 9000. Okay, I'm guessing 16,000. How's about a price-range guesstimate poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Www.joystiq.com has a blurb. Looks like they got wind of it from here: http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2010/04/purported_ultra_rare_air_raid.php ..Al Albert, you have a last name? This link you posted has your first name only. Sounds like Madonna, Cher or Prince. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Franzman Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) My price guess: $800,300.00 (See last link in the Kotaku article for why. ) Unsolicited guess: acuraboi12 won't actually receive anywhere near that amount of money. EDIT: Now I notice that he relisted the item, and the relist was killed by eBay. I wonder what's the story behind that. Maybe somebody's up to some shenanigans. Edited April 3, 2010 by A.J.

Atari Rescue Group Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 From the pictures it looks real to me. Good to see another 2600 mystery sorted out. This auction will be fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
