+sixersfan105 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Looks like a $3,000 Atari 2600 Junior just went up on eBay. Sure, it's sealed, assuming that tape is the original, but I'm guessing he'll wind up getting closer to $100 than $3,000. Yikes! https://ebay.to/2MtOHAU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Ended Listing Early. Someone got a side deal for $2000. LOL Actually they relisted is as auction style with reserve. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Jr-STILL-SEALED-BRAND-NEW-RARE-Video-Game-System-LOOK/293196881714?hash=item4443e55f32:g:lrUAAOSw51tdXeZb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ha...I had been dealing with him locally on a lot that he picked up but he wanted an insane amount. He estimated the worth on the Junior alone to be $500. But he said he had no figures to base that on so...?♂️ Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

jaybird3rd Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Heh ... I own eight 2600 Jr. consoles, including one that I bought new in the box, and I don't think I paid $500 combined for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 I believe that! This joker wanted $1,500 for two CIB 7800s, that "NIB" (assuming the tape is to be believed as original) Junior and a box full of 45 common sealed games (17 2600 and 28 7800). I passed!

+sixersfan105 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 This "sold" for $157.50 but it didn't meet the reserve. Who knows how high the reserve was. His loss, I would have taken $157.50 if I owned it! UPDATE: turns out his reserve was $399.99. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Austin Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It just got relisted again on eBay for $800.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Ha! This guy is too funny. He literally texted me asking what he should re-list it for and I told him not to expect to get much more than that previous "winning" bid of $157.50. So obviously the smart thing to do is to re-list it for $800! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Austin Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I forgot to post this a couple of days ago, but it is now at $600.00 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, that's for sure underselling but he's silly not to have taken the $157.50 winning bid last week on his auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 This is what I see on my screen. Maybe it sold or maybe it didn't. Maybe the buyer pays for it or maybe he doesn't. It doesn't matter. People list things for stupid prices all the time and sometimes they do sell. I don't know why you guys are so preoccupied with this one.

Another poster asked what happened to the listing and I answered him. You in turn expressed skepticism that it sold, so I produced evidence which appears to show that it did in fact sell. Simple as that. Beyond that I really have no interest, since I know that a seller that's legitimately interest in doing business will price an item accordingly, otherwise they're just seeking attention. I generally pay no mind to people that seek attention but feel free to carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Austin Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I was just asking a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 What's going on with eBay where unsold items show as sold? Absolutely ridiculous and have noticed this for a while now. Another typical modern software "glitch" that they're all too happy ignoring because it helps drive prices or what? Little wonder when you see classic gaming/computing items at garage or estate sales today, they're often accompanied by a sign asking a silly price claiming "that's what they're going for on eBay". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an Atari 2600 cartridge from eBay a while ago, and I couldn't find the listing for that item anywhere afterward. It's been like that for a while, and I think that problem needs to be fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
