Brad2600 Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I know it's kind of silly to bid on a box of crap..since I am not known to collect feces of any type. However, I won't know exactly what I'm getting until I pay for it and it's sent. Bad idea even bidding on it? At the same time, I'm excited to see what I got! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3011728591 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I can't believe you bid on that, that was part of the contest I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 I can't believe you bid on that, that was part of the contest I believe. I'm not worried. Besides, I can always leave negative feedback and file a fraud report if it isn't what it claims to be. I dunno. I'm so stupid sometimes.

sku_u Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22057 My guess is that you'll probably get a few combats and pac-mans with bad labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I know it is for a contest, but that picture have some nice carts like Laser Gates. If someone didn't know better, they would think that is what they were getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone didn't know better, they would think that is what they were getting. I will find out once it arrives. I am not that naive. If it's all Combat and Pac-Man carts, I'll send them all to AtariAge for store credit. If it's what is actually in the picture, then I won't be the fool.

Brad2600 Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 I certainly hope so! Like I said, if they like negative feedback then they will get plenty if it's not what is pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly states that it is not what is pictured Here is the quote from the ebay auction "NOTE: The carts below are NOT what you will receive. You will receive CRAP, CRAP, CRAP. I just included the pic because it's pretty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 It's supposed to imply that the person is joking. Besides, if they don't send what is pictured then it is considered fraud in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 The auction clearly states that you will be sent crap. Since this is part of the contest I would maybe email the seller and see if you can work something out. I too have an auction listed that is part of the contest and am shocked that there are 5 bids on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be absolutely taken if those carts pictured did not show up. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocoboKick Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 guys, that's an entry for the DP ebay insanity contest, it's one of Queen of Feline's. Besides, it does clearly say what's pictured is NOT what you will recieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Cleopatra Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I'm confused. What kind of contest is DP having? Can't they get in trouble with eBay? Someone explain, pleaseee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Whatever. I'm a moron, alrighty? I wouldn't worry about it, the seller has a 99.8% positive feedback rating. Even if you're genuinely not getting the "crap" pictured I'm sure you and the other party will be able to work something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of the Felines Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Don't worry, he's getting the carts in the pic. It was going to be a serious auction at first but then I just decided to do something stupid with it. I'm also going to toss in some bonus stuff as well.

CPUWIZ Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 All of a sudden it looks like a decent deal. Glad to see there is still some honest sellers around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoffgirl Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Well, Kepone already KNEW that he was going to get the carts pictured, because I PM'd him over a week ago to let him know about it after Kristine asked me to pass word along. Yes, it was part of her auction for the contest, but when people wanted to really bid on it, she saw a good opportunity to see the games in the picture all at once as a reward for whoever was the good sport to bid. But he was forbidden to tell anyone, partly to keep the good deal to himself. However, initially, the pictured carts were NOT going to be sent. It WAS for the contest, after all.

Snider-man Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sweet for Kepone? Yes. But incredibly annoying with the constant "Am I screwed? I think I'm screwed. I didn't really read it. Will you send me the carts in the pic even though the ad states they aren't included? You will? Great! Wait, is this a trick? NO? Really? Am I screwed? I think I'm screwed. Hey, AA gang, am I screwed? I e-mailed the seller and she said I wasn't. Really? No? What? HUh?" Criminy Kepone. I hope you read future eBay auction listings a leeeeeetle bit closer before bidding next time. And before anyone harps in with "FRAUD! FRAUD!", what if the photo had been of a bikinied babe like a recent Atari 2600 Jr. auction? If he had bid, would he REALLY have expected her to arrive in 7 to 10 days? "Am I screwed? Will the chick arrive if I win? The auction didn't say she was included, but the picture leads me to believe she will be. Am I screwed?" Ad infinitum. Lessons learned by all here. Let's move on.
