Funny / Stupid / Crazy / Lame Auction Listings

I think the following ebay listing meets all four requirements of this topic.

 

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FVGA-GRADED-NM-80-ATARI-400-800-Princess-and-Frog-ATARI-Video-Game-System-NEW-%2F290967527736%3Fpt%3DVideo_Games_Games%26hash%3Ditem43bf042138%255D290967527736

 

Someone paid a grading company who gave it a grading of 80+ NEAR MINTcalling it a 5 1/4 INCH DISK GAME. I don't think I'd ever trust their grading system, they didn't even look close enough to read the box and see it is a cartridge game. Then the seller thinks it's worth $1,129.95, at least they made it Best offer and the plastic case will protect it.

 

This seller has not been the sharpest guy on ebay for a while now. At least in the past his prices have only been ridiculous. Now that he's discovered the wonderful world of grading he can take ridiculous and multiply it times 10. There's a special place in hell for his type.

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 3009525811701?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=300952581170&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

 

It's auctions like these that make me wonder.... $100! Really... For a loose cart... Damn if that's the case my collection is worth over $20k

 

My real estate agent was fond of telling me that something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

If anyone wants such a painting, I'd do it for just $15,000: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 1211726424301?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=121172642430&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

And I've DONE it for far less than that :)

 

 

 

This is my favourite line in the listing !!

 

"Combat convays struggle, anticipation, ignorance, and gives an outside view of something we deal with in a much too inside way."

It's a better piece than his Tetris painting.

I'm surprised no one has jumped for that considering...

1) It has free shipping

2) He is difinitely taking a risk

3) Someone will be very happy when they open the box

 

I'm assuming that the someone is him and "difinitely taking a risk" has some meaning that I'm unaware of like "brainless", "clueless" or "insane"

Anyone have any idea why this went so high? I know it's not a "ridiculous" high amount, but it was something I was interested in and compared to any last sales I looked up went at least double what they normally sell for.

This also seems surprising to me, but perhaps the later blue box version is hard to find?

Actually it sold for less than the last one. Last one was sold 1/18 for $56. For something that shows up every 8 months the price is rather low.

 

The blue re-release cartridge is even more rare than the box, because most blue re-release Spacechase boxes contain the old cartridge. I'd say the cartridge is as rare as Malagai. I got the cartridge for $3, so it is totally undervalued.

I figured it had something to do with the box version.

 

As far as the cartridge goes, I can't say that I personally agree with this statement. I've had several of this version over the years and traded / sold them off over time. I think I'm down to 2 of them at the moment.

Check eBay, 20 original release cartridges and 0 re-release cartridges. You won't find more than 2 maybe 3 per year.
