uNi73 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think we need more screenshots here. 3 pages back and you cant check the auctions anymore and most of your postings just made me very curious about what will I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangasinan Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) This would have to be the funniest listing i have ever read...CLASSIC !!! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lapidary-Machine-DIAMOND-TRIM-SAW-6-ROBILT-/281480275194 Here is an example of his listing: POSTAGE TRACKING NUMBERS I DON’T USE THEM DON’T ASK ME ABOUT THEM UNLESS 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND THE ITEM HASN’T TURNED UP YET. IM OLD, MY EYES ARE POOR IVE GOT FAT FINGERS NUMBERS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER I REFUSE TO TRY AND READ TYPE THE BOTTOM LINE OFF AN EYE CHART THIS IS WHAT A POSTAL TRACKING NUMBER LOOKS LIKE TO ME: 570123409876545r4h64s5g7 TRY TYPING 20 OF THOSE THINGS IN AFTER GOING TO THE POST OFFICE. JUST WAIT FOR YOUR GOD DAMNED PARCEL LIKE EVERY FLAMING HUMAN BEING HAS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF POST I HATE THIS SPOILED ASS GENERATION OF I-PAD E-BONE LATEST APP CORKHEADS THAT NEED TO TRACK MY CRAP WHILE SIPPING A LATTE. JUST LIKE A PACK OF WHINING KIDS ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?

Albert Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I actually read the entire description. I really like this guy, he's spot on. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I like that description a lot, actually. Especially this part; SOME 1%er OXYGEN THIEF SAID MY DESCRIPTION WAS TOO LONG. IT DIDN’T REALISE THAT ITS PEOPLE LIKE THEM THAT MAKE THIS DETAILED SPIEL OF CRAP NECESSARY. SO, JUST TO SHOW WHAT A CRANKY OLD MONGREL I AM AND TO PROTEST AGAINST THOSE WHO WANT TO TELL ME HOW TO ARRANGE MY BIRD BATH, GARDEN GNOMES AND CONCRETE ABORIGINES IN MY BACK YARD, I HAVE NOW INCLUDED IN THIS DESCRIPTION THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER By BANJO PATTERSON. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I didn't think that this game was on the top 20+ rarity listing for the 2600 (though not my area of expertise). This seems incredibly high, another victim of VGA? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-1983-Gravitar-Atari-Club-Exclusive-Sealed-VGA-85-/201207106389?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ed8e0cb55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seal it up with a fake grade and charge 10x what it's worth. See it all the time anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Not an auction listing, but this keeps getting reposted on craigslist over the last year or so... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/vgm/4500765523.html I hate it when people let things get that filthy and expect top dollar for it. That original listing is down, but check out these boxes of commons in my area: http://providence.craigslist.org/vgm/4723565830.html I sent the guy an email telling him to check for rarity in case he had a gem in there. No response obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No response obviously. If I see a lot with 3, 4, 5 of the same title, I have to assume that they are the leftovers from buying other lots for a rare or needed title, or from buying systems. So probably no gems because the seller knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Maybe if he had the game with the record it would sell. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 141439178546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Maybe if he had the game with the record it would sell. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 141439178546 I hate to break it to him, but it's not extremely rare. I have a copy myself and have passed by at least 3-4 copies in thrift bins over the years. I was excited when I found my first copy, but realized after a while this is not anything that most Atari folks would ever care anything about. Hope you didn't pay much for it, because you're going to be stuck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Item condition "very good" http://www.ebay.com/itm/390895094431?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Item condition "very good" "It will cost me close to $5 to ship this item, I am only charging $2.95" It most certainly will not cost anywhere near $5 to ship the item, much less $2.95 if it's shipped a bubble envelope. I wish sellers didn't have to be dishonest and/or stretch the truth (that is, be dishonest) to try and peddle their items. Seller does have 100% feedback, though. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
