Justin Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sometimes you'll see this happen on eBay when somebody wants to get attention or show off what they've got. Not saying this is the case here, but $17,000 seems a bit much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 $75 even seems like a reach. Idk what they're worth I think $30 is fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 $75 even seems like a reach. Idk what they're worth I think $30 is fair Actually, I did a little research and found out that this lot sold for between $25-$30 as a best offer.

Ballblaɀer Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 "This listing has ended" doesn't necessarily indicate a sale -- I believe it says that for expired listings as well, and best-offer sales too. In any case, yeah, I'm thinking that's either a mistake or a marketing tactic. Then again, who knows... it would only take one out-of-their-mind person to make a fortune!

nosweargamer Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I did a completed search in sale price order on Atari Age Magazines. You can get an idea on how much it was for based on the sold auctions above and below it when arranged by price it was sold for. So this one sold for about 25 or so. Posting crazy prices can also hurt the seller if someone doesn't pay as a joke and the seller gets charged a fee of 9% by ebay. The seller would then have to open a case to get his fee back, I believe, unless ebay holds off on charging the fee until an official payment is made. The fee on selling a $17K auction would be over $1500.
