Atari 2600 Stunt Cycle Repro - $375.00 starting bid - WTF!?

[Impaler_26]

I just stumbled over another crazy Atari 2600 auction, check this out:

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300771798451

 

Obviously a repro of Atari's Stunt Cycle Proto with box and manual with an insane starting bid of $375.00.

The guy is trying to sell this as the real thing!! He should mention that it's just a reproduction... What a Rip Off!!

That is a numbered release from atari2600.com, I own the proto box and #1 of that run, I would not sell them for $375. But yes, it is a repro.

 

EDIT: Almost 10 years old. LOL http://www.atariage.com/news/index.php?page=45

I think I paid $40 or $50 for mine.

 

As for $375...

 

eBay, much like cocaine, is a helluva drug!

Maybe you should buy it, if it is such a decent price in your opinion. It is still available.

Lol no thanks

Well, something happened -- auction was ended.

 

Also, I think this was a honest mistake. If you read the item details, he says he got them in a auction sale and has no clue what the value was. I doubt he would know, if he's not a classic gamer and didn't discover that 10 year old thread mentioned above.

A Halo 2600 cart recently sold for over $400, so it's not surprising.

Me too.

I'm confused. Was there more than one run? Which are original and which are the reproductions?
