txsizzler Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) This caught my eye this morning, just going through some fleabay ads. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333882214573?hash=item4dbcee48ad:g:VFoAAOSwJpxgIFAw But wait.. this seller has 2 of these! https://www.ebay.com/itm/334140274403?hash=item4dcc4ff6e3:g:UhQAAOSw6zlgPXud $450,000 each?! Ummm... yeah. Thoughts? Edited September 27, 2021 by txsizzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If this thing were to ever sell...You'd be seeing the intersection of the douchiest seller with the wealthiest, most insane or mentally challenged buyer...Interesting description though,...Are these (perhaps guilt ridden) excuses, or attempted reasons to justify the price? I just don't know about the world sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 All you need to know about the guy that is selling it and what a cocky bastard he is can be found in this thread when it was only $70k and didn't sell. The sellers id is sofasurfer on ebay and here on Atari Age where most threads about his TCM games end up getting locked because Mr. Sofa Surfer starts going off on people. There have been multiple threads about these games on ebay that NEVER sell because they are so overpriced. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Andrew Davie Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 What I really love about the ebay ad is in the very first line of blurb... Quote The rarity of this game and it's history does not lie. Its simple logic It takes special skill to get "it's" and "its" wrong in consecutive sentences. I'm going to have to read the rest in instalments; I don't think I can stand such stimulation in one go. Quote Puts it into prospective for you Yes. Yes, it really does. Wait, what? 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldPAL Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 At that price I would hire a developer, make a better version of the game, print a cartridge and have a one-of-a-kind rarest edition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhd Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Where I am soon moving, $450,000 is would buy a very nice house, or a penthouse condo with a view of the river. I know how I would prefer to spend my money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I put my Combat cart in plastic wrap, wrote 8.2 on it in marker, and gave $700 to a street performer for the heck of it. I'm really looking forward to my $200,000 windfall. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
