Arenafoot Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Here's a delusional eBay seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291720689406 wanting $149.99 for Halo 2600 cart only "very rare and hard to find." available everyday/all day for $30 at https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=998 Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
AlamoAtari Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 They are also selling "authentic" luxury bags at knock off prices.
MaximumRD Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Yep, I agree HOWEVER while the seller is definitely an asshat the problem really starts when you get the uninformed guy who sees an auction like this and takes it at face value, perhaps as many do he has far more disposable cash then common sense or knowledge and so he actually buys the damn thing. Driving the market up by sending the message that outrages prices like this are "ok" :mellow: I blame the buyers just as much as the sellers. :fyou: I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

RickR Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Right? It's the BUYER who is delusional at this price.

The Professor Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe he's confused pricing with the original limited release cartridge?
Arenafoot Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe he's confused pricing with the original limited release cartridge? image.jpeg but even that first release shouldn't be worth $150 today........... :unsure: Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne

RickR Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 at least shipping is fair at $3.50. No insurance on a $4k item? Tsk tsk tsk.
