MattyXB Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Don't Know, Last time he has sell someting on Dec 2001. Long time. Maybe his account was stolen? But all other look normale. No name change. And the scans seems not from AtariAge (I have only look one). Maybe someone sell his complete collection. Look all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do bid, send the seller a note indicating that you DO NOT want them to ship your boxed games in a padded envelope... (as per their shipping description).

Philflound Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 The last time they sold does look a bit fishy, but no info was changed at all, and the games they are selling aren't all that rare short of a few, and even those aren't the cream of the crop. Doesn't look worth being a scam since it doesn't yield high profits. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicJoke Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Well none of his stuff is too valuable. I also noticed that some of the boxes are those ugly greyscale type. I believe these were released late in the lifespan of the 2600. So, this person could have found a whole stockpile of them somewhere since, 2600 carts weren't selling all that well at that time. Still he has an awfully huge variety of games for the 2600 as well as several other systems. Where would he get so many sealed games?

CosmicJoke Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I don't know much about the late Activision releases. I meant the grayscale boxes released by Atari, itself. I think they were grayscale since the boxes were cheaper to print?? I myself have a few, and they have later dates on them. So, I can't answer your question about Pitfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Thanks for pointing this out. I need those grayscale boxes for my collection. Besides, they usually contain those cool 86 error carts I need as well. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I just took a look at around 10 of these auctions and none of the box scans were taken from AtariAge. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Looks pretty legit to me. Only thing I would be concerned about is the fact that he has not sold anything in the last sixmonths. I would shoot him an email and ask why the lapse in selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
