m-crew #9778 Posted October 2, 2017 Sensationalism Sensationalism- the use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement. A lot of that going on in the world these days .... On the side note very sad news --RIP Tom Petty - you will be missed..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ignorama #9780 Posted October 2, 2017 So why not open the box and let people know what they are bidding for... Because its probably a scam. May there really is a game inside and he hopes to get a premium-premium price for it, because its ultra sealed (videogame-collectors go crazy sometimes) or, which is my believe, there is just a cheap part inside the box which would not bring much money. Maybe a replacement for something, maybe really just the modulator or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utopia #9781 Posted October 3, 2017 I'm guessing if a game it would be either Space Patrol or 4Tris, both of which Joe released that year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ignorama #9786 Posted October 3, 2017 To be honest, I dont really like the case. Its a nice collectible item for some, but not for me. Which didnt mean I wouldnt have traded it against a D2K 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr_me #9789 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing if a game it would be either Space Patrol or 4Tris, both of which Joe released that year.Could be both. Edit: But the only reason for the seller to do it this way is because he/she knows it is not worth as much as what it could be.

Or It just could be an empty box. Even better filled with packing Peanuts. Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_me #9792 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Or It just could be an empty box. Even better filled with packing Peanuts. Lol Why would Joe ship an empty box? Actually, Joe might have a record of what was shipped to that zip code at that time. Edited October 3, 2017 by mr_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m-crew #9798 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) That would be fraud. Yes it would be... I'm not saying that there's nothing in there.. But it kinda of silly on the seller and even more on the bidders on bidding on a box from joe shipped in 2008 and not knowing what's inside the box.. Just open it and let the bidding begin... like Soulbuster posted earlier Sensationalism at its finest and with the sheep a following .. All good Man- Got to luv our free market economy... Cheers !!!

JasonlikesINTV #9799 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Here's the critical statement: "I don't know what is inside. I do know I only purchased NIB, intellivision specific games and other awesome (and more valuable) Intellivison items from Joe. Which game or item is in this box is anyone's guess!" So it's either a NIB Intellivision specific game...Or not. The seller doesn't really say whether it's: An Intellivision product produced by Joe An Intellivision item Joe acquired and resold ...or just some of his hair. And I know what you're thinking - Joe's hair isn't Intellivision related? That would be true if it weren't for the fact that I'm almost certain that Joe is an Intellivision coding robot produced by Mattel in the 70s. Checkmate.
