DIAMNODS IN THE ROUGH.. CAN YOU SPOT EM??

[povlok1]

Well, couple of weeks ago, Spirantho was braging about his surprise at winning Gardian, wondering why no one else saw it http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=50833 (btw, I was second bidder on that one) well, about the same time I saw this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

you got to look close,, can you spot it:)? I didn't want to say anything until it got here,, the label is MINT! Can you spot it? I would of gotten it cheaper if the newbies werent trying to buy it just for the system!

Than this one came around,, its just listed as Chopper Command,, can you spot it;) its a little more clear http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Label is a little rough,, but hella rare game.. a little easier to spot, maybe people thought it was a wasted label of freeway? can you spot it;)??

this is what makes ebay FUN,, awsome to find these deals right out in the open..

The problem is, by the time I come across what looks like a diamond in the rough, someone else has beaten me to it.

 

Honestly, are Sundays the best time to find such diamonds in the rough?

Sunday is the busiest day for ebay,, and best day to find 'non collectors/resellers' listing atari stuff

I gave it away in the first post,, Chopper Command,,,,, prototype;)

[atari_wizard]

really? so how do you know its a proto? i thought they were labeless, just a small sticker on the front. is there a way to identify them?

[holygrailvideogames.com]

You won an auction a couple of weeks ago for a 5200 Millipede. Did that turn out to be a real proto?

[povlok1]

yup,, eproms:) I showed it to ataripitbull when I picked up the coin op zaxxon (once again tnks pit.. awsome quality,, prob the cleanest one in exsistance that hasnt been restored!)

What, me? bragging? Never. (hey, it happens so rarely these days you just have to tell someone. )

 

I saw the Q*Bert's Qubes there - now I'm looking closely (and before I saw CPUWIZ's post ) - but didn't get the proto.. still can't to be honest!

 

Nice score, though, nice one! And to think you still pushed my Guardian price up even when winning this.. how rude.

Click on this auction and you can see what an Activision proto looks like.
