i did this as well ... just not when people have ridiculous prices or stupid auction texts ... then i'd rather waiste my time in threads like this one

some people don't wanna understand either: i've tried to explain to a professional seller that his boxed centipede is for the 800XL and not for the 2600, nethertheless it has been listed as such for over half a year and probably is still up on ebay.de ... for 129 euro

Got a reply for the Coke Wins cart. He thinks that since there are no others on ebay right now, it must be legit. I linked him to the lot that sold back in October for $20, though. I bet he's the one who bought it.

[OldAtarian]

The fake Pepsi Invader guy replied again. He said he came here and could not find anything about his cart being a fake. He still thinks it's real. I asked him if he bothered to go the forums and open up a thread about it. I don't think he did because I haven't seen any new 50 page threads with everybody here telling him his cart is a fake.

I thought he was joking about the rare ET, then I saw the Atari "tapes" and the fact he is too lazy to list the titles for an auction he is expecting $400 for.....Hahalarious!

I thought this one was kinda funny:

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260707217849

Commuter mispelled as Communter in the title, then mispelled again as cummuter in the item description. Still, lots of people found it.

I can't believe they not only found it, but that they bid it up to $76 with permanent marker on the box. That would knock the overall condition way down for me.

lol

It could be possible. Have you seen the movie "You Got Mail"? Tom Hanks character had an uncle that was younger then him, so it could be possible that the C64 lot is older then grandma in that auction... just saying

I love how the auction description says: "Bought from Fred Flinstones yard sale last week."

To me the funniest part about this posting is that he thinks someone will pay 5k for his stuff and also would be interested in a product that has something to do with fishing at night.

[jahfish]

his "fishing tool" is probably an ebay-software-tool to fish for dollars

Yes... the photo is a winner. We all know how hard it is to take a another picture, to get the film developed, and then to scan it in for eBay. Who has time to go through that all again when the first picture comes out a little blurry.

Atari Telegame and Games, only $610?

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320649120272

Zero feedback seller and 25 bids by 6 bidders. What? Is there an ultra-rare game in that picture that I can't see?
