Omegamatrix Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 $8,677.77 and reserve not met. This is kind of sick. I should do a Kickstarter page. Call it Red Sea Crossing 2 something or other. I will program this game for you from scratch, and not some Batari Basic quicky job either. Just give me half the reserve to move forward... not too greedy, eh???

CPUWIZ Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The collector spitting out more than 30K for a T-shaped piece of blue plastic and a cardboard box can be just as greedy as the seller who sets the reserve bar at 30K for that same piece of plastic and cardboard box. Two sides of the same coin. You should be banned for such an outrageous claim. You should really stick to begging for scans and binaries, and leave real collectors to do their thing, like build a museum for instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a wild guess here, in all seriousness (I have no idea what he really meant): Maybe it comes from the implied "I want it so no one else can have it!" mentality> That's as close to sensical as I can come up with having read this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagn2 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Well, my auction ends in about 3 hours and it's been a wild 5 year ride! I set my reserve a little lower than my highest private offer so I don't think I am being greedy, just putting a little insurance on it. My reserve is very close and I'll make a bet with anybody that the other cart's reserve is about $6323 away from being met! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What happens if you don't get any more then 8k for your auction though, nagn2? I'd still sell that sucker anyway. Don't be greedy on this. Regardless if the auction hits the reserve or not, SELL! Especily with that other copy having been found. But yeah, the other copy on EBay not hitting the reserve yet....that's crazy. I hope these folks tell us in the end what the reserve was and if the private offers they got were actually serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I predict the reserve will not be met on either auction and the games go back into the closet. I don't know exactly how this will all end, but one thing I can guarantee 100% is that the above will not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think you want to sell it. I think you have enjoyed all of the attention it has brought you during these last five years. I think that it will be hard for you to let all of that go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Has anyone considered that Travis hasn't had much experience with eBay(feedback of 21 with only 3 sales) and not much experience with Atari collecting? I think people are putting him in our shoes instead of themselves in his. He most likely believes it is possible that it could only sell for a few hundred bucks and that it would have been better for him to stick with his plan to sell it later. Like nagn2, he is most likely just putting the reserve at what has been offered and using it for insurance because he is ignorant of the fact that insurance is not needed. That is just playing it safe and being paranoid about an impossibility. Both of these carts could have easily went above the reserve prices if they started them at $.99 with no reserve. We just wouldn't see it now. We would see it in the last sniping minute. Nagn2's just sold his for $10,400. Wouldn't that mean that Travis's better cart is worth more than what the bid is currently at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed at how you continue to tear into your fellow community to stick up for people that couldn't care less about us +1,000,000,000,000 I am just plain shocked as well. @ROM: This guy nagn2 has just walked away with $10k for something that most of us here consider to be an important part of Atari history. The buyer feels the same way about this game, and luckily, had the means to pay "extortion" rates for it. This does not make the buyer greedy. It simply means that they care enough about the hobby to take a financial risk in order to preserve a piece of Atari history. IMHO, a greedy buyer would have tried to side deal this cartridge for a song and then flip it themselves on eBay for $10k+. Greed is just not the case here... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
