Eric7100 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Has anybody on here seen the current eBay auction for Deep Pockets? Actually, it doesn't include the game, just the supporting materials. I had asked this question before, I am curious as to what something like this will sell for. Is it worth anything without the game? http://www.ebay.com/itm/131040792248?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I know it may at least sell for 40....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjarnold7 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I see it was up quite high, then dropped. I've sold box onlys in the past, no matter how many times I say the game is not included, I always got bidders who thought it was, I'm sure that is what happened to this one.....I could see it going for even more than $40....

I think it went high because someone noticed that no game was with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjarnold7 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 That's what I meant, someone realized it wasn't the whole game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I hope this isnt a case were the guy is selling the box, and then next time puts up the cart, then after that the overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Are you guys following this auction? With just three hours left, the price of JUST the box is $104.75. I wonder what one would pay for the actual game. I find this auction fascinating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling you, I sold a box without game, but had to try to sell it like 3 times.....people would buy and say, "oh, I thought the game was with, sorry"......I hope it sells for that, but from my experience, there will be problems...

voltron Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 well two prominent AA shilled it a bit to over 100. but its just the box, and the seller spelled itmout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric7100 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 A copy of Deep Pockets (the game only, without a cartridge shell) is up for auction on eBay, for anyone interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131058350699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ok, why would the seller sell the box & paperwork separately from the game itself? Is this more profitable typically? Seems odd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Is it the same seller? Sometimes more profitable. All a matter of time before we see a Sears Overlay set parted out. Happened/happening with Orphan Overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjarnold7 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Actually, I sold some Orphan Overlays, but I didn't part them out, just had a loose incomplete set I bought from Roger...then when I finally got a boxed set, sold the loose ones....

Moron To be fair, he does have a 100% feedback rating. Did you leave him negative feedback at that time? If so, it doesn't show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I had trouble with this serpent seller in the past He sold Me a cib synthasizer and sent it with no box, as in slapping postage on the thing I bought. Moron Out of curiosity, when did that happen? When I bought Stonix from him at the end of 2011 (got a second-chance offer), his shipping charges were high, but it turned out that he used a third-party pack-and-ship service for all his Ebay sales. Having used the UPS packing service before for a friend's wedding present (framed photograph), and having felt my jaw hit the floor when I found out how much it cost (something like $75 total to ship the framed photo), the reason for the high shipping charges became clear to me. Anyway I wonder if they were responsible for the mistake with your synthesizer -- not that I'm making excuses for what happened, mind you, but FWIW my own experience with him was positive. And obviously if he's offering free shipping on Deep Pockets, he's not having a shipping company pack a circuit board for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 It happened 3 or 4 years ago. Maybe he changed his methods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 But why is he seeling the game without a shell, but a sticker? I wonder where the sticker comes from, or what happened to the shell. Its very strange and I dont like his picture which actually does show the box for selling the cart. Yes, he mentions it in the text, but if he does not find the time to take a photo of his stuff I would not pay a lot of money for that.

jaybird3rd Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It was sold for $104.75. For an empty box?! "Deep Pockets" indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
