  1. I have contemplated stopping many times.  Every time I have thought it was time to stop I have taken an extended break(up to a year).   Each and every time I have been bitten again by the collecting bug.  I guess I will just "know" when it is time. Finding a rare cart has always been a rush to me. I don't see it ending anytime soon.

    How much you want to bet that this is a scheme by Paypal to make money? Pay someone to make a bunch of fake orders, have them ask for a refund and then rake in the money. 

    LOL, ok.  I would take that bet

    Had a weird rash of people buying, paying for it, and then asking for a refund. Which sucks because PayPal doesn't refund fees. One of them was on an $800 purchase, so I had to eat like $30 to make the refund. 

    I have always received a refund of fees from Paypal when I have had to give refunds.

    If I’m not mistaken I believe a nib surround just sold on eBay I missed that one. It sucks because that hangman you may only get one crack at it

    Damn, I just looked it up.  I missed it.  I would have bid more than that.  

    Life always gets in the way of collecting. lol

    You have them all except hangman correct? That blackjack sat on my shelf for about 3 weeks before I realized it. Must of picked it up a long time ago in a lots so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it lol.

    I am missing Surround and Hangman.  I have only seen one Hangman and it was in an auction where you could only see the sides of the boxes.  It was years ago and I could only bid a couple hundred bucks.  Another AA member, Dino, won the auction.  Still haunts me to this day.

    Congrats!   This is certainly one of the harder to find variations for the 2600.  It really doesn’t come up for auction hardly ever so it’s difficult to estimate what one might be worth.  It doesn’t seem like there are many of these around.  

    There is not many around. With today's crazy prices, I can't see it selling for less than 1K.  Someone willing to wait may get 2K

    "Yar's Revenge"
     "Yar's Revenve"

    Good Lord.

     The name is "Yars' Revenge", the apostrophe is in the wrong place in both accounts, and the latter word is 'Revenge', not 'Revenve'.

    Why do so many people STILL get this wrong after so many decades, when it's so easy to research and find the actual name, when you have the internet at your fingertips?

    Have some respect, and type the names correctly. Surely it's not too much to ask, is it?

     

    "Yar's Strike" should be "Yars' Strike". It's not about an individual Yar, it's the whole RACE of Yars. Why do people still not know this? How long does it have to take until people get it right?

     

    "It's a remake from the classic Yar's revenge from the atari 2600. "

     

    So much wrong here.

     

    It's a remake _OF_ the classic "Yars' Revenge" (apostrophe in the wrong place, 'Revenge' should be capitalized) ON (or even FOR) the Atari 2600 (Atari should be capitalized, as it is a NAME, have some respect, please!)

     

    Do you think you can just type "from" instead of the correct articles in english and get away with it?

     

    Give him a break, I don't believe English is his first language.  English is not the easiest language to learn, much less punctuate.

    The first auction ended at 6:39PM on October 4th with a winning bid of $202.50 - it was relisted 36 minutes later and then ended by the seller - "error in the listing". 

     

    It has now been relisted with a BIN of $499.99.

     

    Non paying bidder?  Give me a break.

    This is why I was asking,  I was wondering what the excuse would be.
