I have been buying too many items and I need to sell some items to make up for the expense. Please check out my auctions.

This week I am auctioning off the following items: Swordquest Waterworld for the Atari 2600, Protector for the Vectrex, the Masterplay Interface for the Atari 5200, Competition Pro Joystick with instructions for the Atari 5200, Turbo Grafx Convertor to play PC Engine games, Super Pro Decathlon for the Intellivision, a boxed Jaguar system with games, a Sega brand black controller for the Dreamcast, Decathlon for the Atari 5200, Devil’s Crush for the Turbo Grafx, an Odyssey 2 system, and a rare Atari Jaguar catalog.

It's cursed, it took me a long time to get rid of it. It didn't want to leave.

I think he intentionally put that nick on the label so he could track it from owner to owner.

[GruBBworM]

LOL yup I agree

::wishing I had Waterworlds that didn't want to leave!::

Is that really such a bad thing? Well maybe if you tried to play it.. Oh and I know that was only a spare.

If someone actually takes the BIN on that Protector, I may just think about selling mine..

The reserve is about half of the BIN. I know someone who sold one of these, and he told me that he got quite a bit of money for it. I hate to sell any of these items, but I have been buying up Intellivision games left and right trying to complete my collection and I could use the money.

I was just wondering why the BIN is the same price as the open for the TG converter?

That's sort of the reason I'm thinking about it too. I'd hate to do it, but it would help me pay off a lot of the rare 5200 games I just picked up, including BBSB and Meteorites.

What was the BIN on Protector? This is such a sweet game, I would not sell my copy for any price.

He had it for $249, with some of the early bidding it might go that high

[MegaManFan]

No doubt, it hit the reserve already.

Based on some of the discussions on usenet R.G.V, I know there were several people who missed out on this cart and would probably be willing to fork over big bucks. But, I was under the impression that another run of carts only were to be available by some source, possibly by Mark Shaker?

Yep I heard that as well, I missed out, bought a Vectrex multicart instead at the time from Sean K. So I'm waiting for another more reasonable $45 run

[robsbucs]

that looks a little high for waterworld..one just sold for 80 something a week ago..good luck...you might need it.

I do that with a lot of my auctions. It is the price that I would like to get for it.

[MegaManFan]

huh? Protector just ended early.

Perhaps he crossed over to the darkside ?

[MegaManFan]

Then why would he apologize to everybody and cancel all their bids first before ending the auction?

Well you could complete that sentence like this:

"I am sorry, but I have to cancel this auction. All bids will be cancelled because someone offered me 3 bills for it and I took it and ran."

[holygrailvideogames.com]

Nobody offered me 3 bills for it. I wish that they had.

What made you change your mind ?

[MegaManFan]

Yeah, we're all wondering, especially since I thought about selling mine.
