7800fan Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301426212761 Why does it look like some sap tried to open the console with a pry bar and large screwdriver? The screw holes are all messed and the edges are all messed. OTOH that TZD label is rare although it seems to be missing mid section, I can't tell if it's been cut off or covered in tape.

Atari_Bill Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wow, thought I might finally be able to pick up a copy of this somewhere in the $75 range due to the horrible label. Guess not when happiestsellerever gets involved. Not sure why he is even interested as he always makes claim that his stuff is the absolute best top of the line you can buy. My guess is that if he gets this we'll see him begin to post multiple reproductions of it claiming that he's not sure if they are reproductions or not like he did with other recent games. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181663671465?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's watching the boards and laughing as he's posting this? That's truly the only thing that makes sense here. Even he's not stupid enough to post a very very common game for that. Not only common, but with a bad label. He calls it a variant, I call it a bad label making it absolutely worthless. Oddly, this one doesn't bother me as much as his others. It actually makes me laugh at how greedy and out of touch people can be. Edited February 16, 2015 by Atari_Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's bringing good money to the table right now. What's the backstory as I haven't heard anything, except I know he's buying lots of my carts. Yep... That was a posting I goofed up on. I tend to do that from time to time. I was putting reserves on stuff, then decided that was a waste and just wanted to try out the BIN approach. All I know is I'm boxing up games and shipping them out. That was the original goal... So something is working. Can't believe I forgot to say "Atari" on that one though.

The backstory is he resells stuff for crazy, crazy high prices. $180 for a loose Polaris Some of your stuff should sell much more than you paid for it with him bidding on it. You have a lot of nice stuff. Good luck with your auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's interesting. I don't mind one way or another. I mean obviously that's a great thing for a seller. If I can sell a cart that used to be worth $2 a few years ago for $10 today, I'll do that every day of the week. Lol. But I can see the frustration from the other side too. I've noticed he's got bids on the majority of my items. But in all fairness, others have been beating him lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So if you have deep pocket and lots of time, you can drive the market up high by buying out everything cheap and forcing desperate buyer to bid higher or pay a very high buyout. Think someone can make Combat and ET cart worth average of $100 loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don' t think he even bid on it (i am sure Roadrunner can tell me whether he was one of the bidders or not). Good thing too, because had he taken that game from me I would have had to go to his house and beat him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Happiest did bid on that Glacier. --- @ErieDeLee you had a few retractions on your stuff, even a few from happiest I was just going to say that he did bid on that. retractions: I think ebay has gone off their rocker to allow this. What I saw, with listing 55 auctions: People were using the "retractions" to say "opps I put in the wrong amount" after bidding higher and higher to try to see what others were bidding. Then... When they crossed that threshold, they would use retractions to take away their bid. Certain people did it a few times within a day or so of the auction ending. Interestingly enough: less then 6 hours after I said no to a purchase price for the rest of my collection as I decided it was a bit low. That bidder did it to two/three auctions. When questioned, it was stated that wasn't the case, it was just the person didn't know if the item was NTSC (Glib cart in particular for that one). While I didn't like that, I'm not going to complain. I am happy with the prices of most of my items. Some carts, quite frankly, really surprised me. It seems limited edition runs are going thought the roof right now. I did not expect that. Overall... It's been a great experience. About 600 more Atari 2600 carts left to sell, along with a Ben Heck Portable Then the Lynx stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes, eBay has turned a blind eye to the practice of bid retractions as long as they are bringing in the cash. Too bad they've turned into such a money grubbing entity. Happiest is one of the worst, most deceptive of the type that live on eBay trying to take advantage of whomever they can. Beyond his high prices, the recent auctions selling fake carts as real shows his true stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I checked, there doesn't appear to be an option for seller to block bidder who had xx bid retractions within the last yy months. We can block buyer who had NPB strike (2 or more in 1 year is the best) but nothing on retractions. If eBay were to implement that and make it default on all existing seller accounts, he would suddenly find himself all alone, and rolling a new account to get around blocks can result in suspensions.

EricDeLee Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 When I read about it, ebay allegedly does an account relook whe someone does a retraction a few times. I would assume the seller would have to report it though. I also got one of the obligatory "please cancel my bid on your item, I had left my account open and my son placed a bid on this item, not me" type of message on one item. That was early in the auction. I canceled it just so I would have to deal with it later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
