Why is this going for so much?

Cause it all looks nice and clean and like it's being sold by someone with a clue...

the buyers all don't have much feedback and are probably just looking for a system

that they're sure will work with a good selection of games.

Duh, it has Pac-Man AND E.T.

It makes no sense.

 

You can't ever figure it out.

 

I have sold Atari systems with about 40 carts.

Sometimes they sell for $40 and sometimes they sell for $100.

Most of the time they fall somewhere in between.

 

I always sell anything rarer than a 4 in a seperate auction.

I use the same style listing and same descriptions every time.

I have 100% feedback and over 200 transactions.

 

Sometimes it's just luck I guess.

We've all seen something like a loose Mario Bros. go for $30.00 in a newbie bidding war. I wish I was that lucky.

I really like the layout of his auction. Very professional looking, easy to read. It makes everything stand out well. As far as the price just luck as far as I can tell.

 

The joysticks look a little armour all'ed to me though

Why?

 

Because of the ultra-rare-non-title Atlantis cart!

Oddly, I saw 5 games that we don't have - Flag Capture, No Escape, International Soccer, Super Challenge Baseball, and Millipede. Which is probably the most I've seen in any one auction in a while. Although I wouldn't pay for the sports games, but that's just my opinion.

I would rather save up for those "Rare & HTF" ones,lol.

 

Layout of the auction for the *stylish* 2600 is really nice,there's a good variety of games, and luck I would say has a lot to do with it. Plus with a nice layout it can make it seem like everything definitely would work and there would be no problems at all.

And yes I would agree he definitely shined those babies up.
