atariman2014 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Greetings. I have for sale on Amazon for a long time several Motorodeo units for Atari 2600, they are new and sealed. That item does not have traffic on Amazon and therefore it does not sell. I've already wasted a lot of money paying for storage, I was going to delete those items so I wouldn't keep paying for storage, but I think it's better that other people can preserve those games. I am selling them for $ 7.50 each. Haha yes! With each sale I lose some money. So it would really appreciate that when the game arrives, you leave a positive comment on Amazon for me. It is very important to leave positive feedback on amazon, after receiving the game. A sealed Motorodeo currently costs about $ 30- $ 40 on Ebay. Confirmed. All Motorodeo units for Atari 2600 have been sold. I hope buyers enjoy their copy of Motorodeo very much, either playing or collecting it.

tpugmire Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Sold out apparently, even though amazon says there’s 3 available. If they actually do exist, I’d like one. Edited August 2, 2020 by tpugmire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Amazon there are 3 units available, but perhaps all the games have already been sold and it has not been updated yet. I only know when the games were sold, once they are shipped and received. Since they are sold through Amazon FBA (The games are in the Amazon warehouses) And they take care of the dispatch and shipping. If you have any other questions, let me know. I will gladly respond and try to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Amazing to remember the days that these sold for $100 each. I recall being so happy when I bought my copy for $60. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall being so happy when I bought my copy for $60. Hello. Law of supply and demand. At that time people "believed" that it was worth $ 100 or $ 60 in your case. Now the "market" says it is worth $ 30- $ 40. $ 7.50. It is not the actual price, I wanted to get rid of that inventory to avoid paying another storage fee. No one expected so many Motorodeos to appear out of nowhere haha! Hopefully one day the great story behind it will be revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Agreed. When the market was flooded with these they could be found by the casefuls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariman2014 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hello friends. According to Amazon, all Motorodeo buyers received their package. Please remember to leave a feedback on Amazon about the purchase and if you can review the item, much better. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!

atariman2014 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi all. This will be my last message. Out of 8 buyers of Motorodeo for Atari 2600. Only one person left feedback on Amazon. I thought they were going to appreciate that I informed them about these Motorodeo for $ 7.50 which is a gift, when in reality they cost $ 30-$ 40. I preferred to lose $ 1.50 per game, rather than remove the games from the deposit... I was going to ask buyers to also leave feedback on Atariage about these purchases, in order to have some reputation and trust on this website, but they did not leave feedback on Amazon. I see it more difficult for them to do it here ... I wish I could sell more things in the future. If you can, please leave a positive feedback on Amazon and another here at Atariage. I will respect them and this will be the last time I ask for feedback. Bye. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 You have no way to know that the people who bought them are all from AtariAge and even if they are, begging for feedback is not helping your cause. Also, they are not worth $30 to $40 as they sell for ~$10 a pop all the time. Cheaper if you buy them by the box or case. The story of them is well known and has been for years. There is no mystery here. You are just the next guy to come along out of a boatload of sellers who are all all trying to do the same thing with this never ending pile of video games seized back in the day and then stuck in that warehouse.

Hello. All buyers are from Atariage. The games had been published on Amazon for almost 2 years and only one game was sold 6 months ago. When I posted the ad on Atariage, all 8 games were sold in less than 1 hour. It is 100% safe, all buyers are from Atariage. For me it was more profitable to remove the games from the Warehouse. Since that cost me $ 0 and for selling each game, I lose $ 1.50. I thought it would be a great detail to publish those games here and as a thank you to leave a positive feedback. I lost $ 12 selling those games, when I could remove them from the warehouse for a cost of $ 0. But, you're right. It serves me as experience, next time, I have to earn money from my sales and not expect favors in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I would guess you had them for sale for the last 6 months at a price point higher than $7.50 Ea. Did you lower the price at the same time as posting them here? I would guess the price point sold them fast. Either way, it isn't unreasonable to expect positive feedback from buyers if they were happy. However, I know, I rarely have left feedback to sellers on Amazon. Not that I don't want to, for some reason I rarely even look at feedback on Amazon when making a purchase. I have always looked at it in a different way than Ebay when buying/selling. If you are/were just looking for positive feedback from the sale(s) I guess it would be a dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Yep, feedback rate on Ebay is over 40% while on Amazon probaby less than 1%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody sees it. I wanted someone to enjoy it in some way, but I couldn't keep paying for storage. By selling at that price on Amazon you lose money. I was going to remove them from the warehouse and I came up with the idea of warning them here. I posted on Atariage and they sold the games in less than 1 hour. So 100% checked. All buyers are from Atariage. If I expected some feedback, but it doesn't matter. I know other people are going to enjoy those games. 3 hours ago, taxman said: Yep, feedback rate on Ebay is over 40% while on Amazon probaby less than 1%. It is true. The % of feedback on Amazon is very low, but they are not sales from Amazon as such, but from "Atariage" You understand? I'm still happy with the sales, that other people enjoy the games and I received 2 feedback. So everything is fine. If anyone wants to leave feedback on Atariage, that would be great too. So I can sell more things in the future by having some reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
