[2600 cart auctions with repro labels]

[Curious about info/insight to old adult floppy programs (minor suggestive text in image otherwise safe for work)]

interested to know if they work?  I assue you don't have an old PC?

[Fake Picture Label Hunt and Score]

The seller is a member of some of the Facebook groups dedicated to retrogaming(AA included)  His Name is J. W Robertson III.  I would be wary of any transactions with him outside of Ebay.

The ampersand is a red flag.

 

These labels are nice, but veteran 2600 enthusiasts instantly recognize them as fake as shit. Subtle differences give them away--they're too glossy; the text alignment is slightly off and the color is oversaturated on the Defender; title text on Space Invaders should be orange, not red; and by the time Atari switched to picture labels, Hunt & Score had already been renamed Game of Concentration for at least a year.

Not sure this dick needs a list of things to change next time.

I would also like to add I am pretty positive that this is the seller that used to sell Activision 2600 carts with brand new labels. 

After talking with another member here, yes, he was selling Activision games with perfect labels.   Amazing that he has 100% feedback.  Ebay makes it so hard to give neg feedback.

Not unless other people buy the lots and do the same thing as you... it could get expensive for him returning every single lot to and from the buyer on his expense! ??

I hope so, but, unfortunately, Brian, you as well as I know, not everyone is as keen as you and I.  I would guess that at least half the people would throw it in the collection without a thought.

After I responded to his offer of a $2.60 refund I called his Bullshit and told him he needed to take a full return.  He immediately approved the return.

 

He obviously knows and is faking labels. Unfortunately, I have to wait 7 days to leave negative feedback, which means some unsuspecting bidders will be bidding on the second lot.

just got a reply from the seller and was told he would refund me $2.60

So I thought i might have an un-documented gem in ths lot

I recieved the games today and 3 of them are obvious reproduction labels, Hunt and score being the worst.  

The seller said he purchased these in an estate sale.  I did notice that he immeadiately listed another lot with another hut and score in it as well.

I will updates some pictures from my phone in a bit.  I thought I recognized the Ebay name and I think he is an "Atari" guy who is trying to pull one over on people.

I contacted Ebay and asked for a refund/return.

I have one of these that was given to me by another member here.  It is a very cool piece.

My original account was 1998, so almost 23 years.  I remember using a crappy webcam to take pictures of items I was selling.

Almost all of them fell off the controllers and the majority of them were thrown away. Don’t fret not finding any, one day when you’re not expecting it will happen. I think Bill has 2 Atari and 1 Sears. If you have boxed games go through each manual , look at your consoles, controllers front and back. Keep looking I’m sure you’ll strike Atari gold.

When I was first collecting, I remember finding a couple of these in the bottom of the box from a lot I purchased off Ebay. I also remember throwing them away because I didn't know what they were. ??

Lol, i read this wrong. I thought I could trade my Gemini for a Jaguar.  You will probably have to sweeten the pot a bit.

Manufactured in Taiwan and sold in Zellers Department stores in Canada.

"being from" does not mean where an item is manufactured to me.  The games are obviously manufactured with the same art as Taiwan games, however, many items as manufactured overseas and seen as from a different company.
