"I have what might be one of the best collections of Atari games in all of Southern California."

 

Well, one of those things is not quite like the others at least...

[pangasinan]

Wow.... I tought I had a small collection... This guy would probably describe it as "The Biggest and Best in the Cosmos... And possible all other paralell dimensions too."

Can't be -- I don't see either ET or Pac-Man on that list....

Someone send that poor bastard a pic of Tempest's collection of video games...

[Videogamecollector123]

Wow, you'd think even someone with out a clue would realize there were more then 10 games made for the Atari.

[Rik]

This is solid proof how some folks have no clue, especially the ones that are claiming the Atari 2600 is extremely rare, so that justifies selling a loose mint 2600 for some I've seen for over $400.00!!, on Ebay. , for just the console and a couple common games.And the clueless or the filthy rich are the ones that pay those insane prices, i might add.

This isn't the "OMG DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!1" guy by any chance, is it?

[+thanatos]

Since his prices on his other items aren't off the charts, my guess is he's kidding. I read that as complete sarcasm.

[monzamess]

To be fair, he said BEST not BIGGEST.

[+save2600]

Reminds me of the late 80's, early 90's when you'd bring up Atari. Soooooo many people would say: "yeah, I had every game ever made for it". Prying a little further, you'd discover they had all but maybe 30 titles. Funny how after you'd tell 'em there were hundreds upon hundreds of games made, they'd just stare at you mouth agape. lmao

 

But yeah, maybe he ingeniously wrote the subject heading purposely like that to get people to look.

POLE POSITION II?!?!?!!!11!!!!one!!!!!

Coming to think of it, maybe to HIM it's the best Atari games collection in California, maybe that's what he meant, but to the seasoned collector like most here, it's a bunch of commons and a pittance compared to how many Atari games were put out altogether.When you print "best collection of Atari games in California", you expect to see more than 9 GAMES! Still a misleading advertisement.You have to advertise accurately or you just throw off folks instead of attract.And yes, more than likely just clueless.

It looks to me like he is just being funny... they are probably just his favorites from back in the day.

Again, I am guessing far from clueless or stupid or misleading... He's being funny.

 

Oh, and congrats on your 3000th post! Just noticed that!
