Another fake Pepsi Invaders on ebay

[OldAtarian]

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250772123099

 

Everyone should send this guy messages telling him it's a modern reproduction and report it to ebay as a fraudulent listing.

I contacted the seller, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and kindly told him that it was a repro. Didn't report it to EBay. Linked to Atarimania so he can see what a real one looks like.

 

EDIT: Got a response back from the seller allready:

 

"This is the real thing. after I found it in my attic I decided to photoshop a few labels on it to make it look better on the images section of ebay."

Sounds legit...

Starting price $19.00? not bad for a repro. Oh, wait- $1,900.00? never mind.

ya i got this response " Please reread the description. I said that I Glued a Photoshoped label I made on it after I found it so any buyers could easily sort it out on the shelf if they wanted to play it." I may buy it. How could it not be real. I know i put photoshopped labels on all my $2000 games so i can find them easier

Yeah most people do... Can you report someone to ebay for a repo unless you can prove it is? I didnt know this but its nice to know now. I wonder if he will drop his price to 1500 then it may be worth it.

If I'm understanding this correctly, he supposedly glued a new label on an old cart? Isn't that the same as altering or defacing it?

Not really in this case because the real carts never had any labels on them to begin with. Only proper way to tell is looking at the circuit board and chip inside.

I see. Well let's presume that it's legit. Shouldn't it be offered in it's original form? Perhaps he could offer the unattatched label seperately.

 

London... are you just getting up or going to sleep?

Looking at this guy's info, the town he has listed for his residence is about 10 miles from me.
