One Hell of a Side Deal

Recommended Posts

I don't know Omega, I have to agree with McGrail on this one

- New Seller w/no feedback

- No pictures

Sounds like a gamble if you ask me.

 

I agree as well, however I cant tell you how many times I've seen someone with a band new user ac sign up here at AA and thier first (and only) post is selling stuff, or damn close to that. I just roll my eyes and move on, but then come back later or the next day and see the thread has like 5 responses...

"PM sent"

"YGPM"

"PM sent"

"Atarilover3642 please check your PM box"

then

"SOLD - thank you"

 

I don't get it.

Good. As long as you fight it out in private I don't care who wins or looses but I would ask that you each throw a low blow for me as when fighting I find a punch to the balls helps to get the upper hand. If both shots throw at once a la rocky\creed spare fight you both will bag tagged and loose and I will be happy you both got a shot in the nuts :evil:

 

:skull:

 

The guy selling this stuff lives within a reasonable driving distance from me, I wonder if I could give him a call and do a local pickup for $10 bucks more than whatever he was offered :ponder: ;)

Ok Shawn , go pick it up and we'll split it. Be fair though, offer him $10 extra from each of us. LOL!

Is that how these auctions are getting stolen? Offers as soon as they are listed? No wonder you dont see many auctions with rare items anymore. Atleast not lots. Anyhow, it would be neat to go see who it was with the side offer.

I'm kinda hoping Mike (Atariaction) bought it as at least then it would probably be resold. Who knows maybe a private collector got it and it's gone for good.

 

Mike lives a bus ride from the dude. :ponder:

* Gets on phone with Mike *

Mike buddy, how's life? You got anything new lately? Yeah? Are you selling? How much? I got cash. Yeah? Uh huh. I see. C'mon Mike you are breaking my balls here. Yeah? That right? C'mon Mike you are really breaking my balls here. Can you do $$$? No? C'mon Mike you are really breaking my balls here.

 

Anyhow I'm not fully convinced that SSS didn't actually get it. We'll see.

I wouldn't mind it if a good dude like Atariaction got the stuff........i've done quite a lot of business with him and he is a good guy! He accepts reasonable offers on his best offer buy it now listings. But damn what if the Vulture Attack and Spider Maze end up being repros? No pics to see what the stuff looks like and yes a brand new seller as well. Anyone buying the stuff without seeing any pics would really be taking a risk!

The reserve is too high.

 

The reserve doesnt matter when the big bidder are done bidding it will be too high for me anyway :sad:

 

Well, for me it's a matter of principal, I just bid over $500.00 and since it hasn't been met, I will not bid again. I probably would have gone a lot higher, had there not been a reserve.

How different is the PAL box? Anybody know?

You know, looking at Mike's pictures and the ones off of Atarimania, I would say none. No NTSC stickers, No Addresses, No difference. I would guess the instructions are the same, but without the PAL ones documented who knows? It has the typical cheap print of most Taiwan's. Off topic if anyone is interested Atarimania now has a complete set of Zellers instructions scans and a few Funvision too. :) Back on topic Mike you should really scan those instructions, please!

actually i did try to scan them and it didnt work too well for me. i will try again tomorrow.

That'd be great! I used to have trouble with instructions to until I figured out my scanner had a B&W setting. Scans them real quick at 300dpi in B&W and they look great as long as they are nice and flat. I'm using a Lexmark.

The boxes ar identical, except that the NTSC version has a big blue Ktel sticker on it which states that its been imported into Canada. This box does not have that sticker :ponder: , so it its identical to the PAL version.
