If I had to guess, I'd think it's a homebrew or hack of some kind.

Mattel developed the Colecovision version of Burgertime, and then when they went ouf of business, they sold the rights to Coleco.......this is probably an early version that says "Mattel Electronics" on it......rare perhaps, but not worth much in my opinion.

I have heard of this as well. I don't know what it's worth but this is the time i ever seen it in auction. I believe there is a Youtube gameplay video of it.

I can't recall seeing it auctioned before, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Actually the Intellivision version of Burgertime was so popular that it was often cloned for other systems.
These clones for other systems copied the Intellivision levels (which were different than the arcade levels). In some cases they even copied the title screen.

Compare the original Intellivision version:





To the Commodore 64 "Burgertime 97"



and the Tandy Color Computer "Lunchtime"



There is even a PC game called "Burgertimes, a clone of Intellivision Burgertime"

i would say it is a homebrew since the other two coleco games he is selling are (not listed as) homebrews as well. one being opcodes track and field 2 and the 2000 Classic Gaming Expo released power lords.

This may be it here. But personally i think the differences are only slight. Maybe the characters might look slightly different? Looks pretty much the same to me. If i didn't know any better the only major difference is the title screen.

This rom has been around for a long time. I've played it, its buggy. Someone, allegedly Ecoleco, put the rom on a CV cart and made a label. He did this with a lot of unreleased stuff for Coleco like Yolks on You, Mash, Dig Dug, etc Used to sell them on his web site and on Ebay.
Not rare, not unknown, just another incomplete unrleased game put in a cart by someone.
A similar unreleased Mattel/Coleco game was another version of Bump N Jump.
