Does that mean that we will now be able to see who ask for side deals?

Put your maximum bid on it and see.. I recieved very nice side deal offers but I decided to let it ride for everyone's pleasure!

And if you wonder, yes I can send only the rare stuff to save on shipping.

With these great side offers I got, I can't resist believing my lot is a good one! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 I guess if I don't get a bid soon enough, I might accept the best side deal out there. How much do you think it can reach?

I'd say there's a price for everything. When you sell as a lot, you know you will not get the sum of the prices of all individual items. When you pick random stuff blindly, you can't really assume anything more than the minimum. 85 common games with some boxed = about 50$ Boxed unworking trackball = 10$ Empty 2600 box (some people seem to not care about serials so you can always sell that with a random system) = 5$ My first offer would be 65$, and my max 75$. Over that, it's a risk I would not be ready to take for a lot I can't see before making an offer.

lol! 07pwb retracted his bid! What a nice way to help getting a high price for an item!

tbh, putting a 1,000,000,000$ BIN is a good way to advertise a listing. It cost only a nickel and it gets a whole thread on AA for that!

Of course, this is not permitted on ebay http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listin...cumventing.html Users may not use systems or techniques to circumvent eBay fees. Examples: - Reserve Fee Avoidance - Canceling bids and ending a listing early because the seller's desired price has not been met.

Does it look like this? I fairly believe it came with the Coleco Gemini system my friend gave me some time ago.

I'd also want to thank Albert and Gus for setting up that contest for our pleasure!

Whoa! Thanks for chosing one of my entries too! Congrats to all the other winners, especially Jeff Thompson who is without a doubt the master of the track design!

Just to let you know if you are interested as I went to my post office to get shipping quotes, shipping to Quebec/Ontario is 8$, for the rest of Canada it's 12$ To eastern US, it's 18$, to western US it's 22$. This is regular parcel to Canada, Accelerated parcel to the US. Will take up to 12 days for the most distant locations.

It's still going for cheap! Why wait until the end and take the chance of forgetting it and miss your snipe? Bid now, take no chances!

Take a look at my auction: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...MESSE%3AIT&rd=1 It's a nice starter kit, starting at $0.01 with no reserve. Thanks for looking, and bid a lot!

That's what I meant to have when writing my story! It's all about having fun, that's all! lol see ya!

I can't prove my story with pictures or anything and I romanced some details to make it look better than what really happened. In fact, I deserve to be disqualified right away.. Your story is much cooler anyway, I let you have the first place!

Well, I will not send pictures because I simply don't have any to send, I'm therefore disqualified, and Atari Charles seems to take this a bit too seriously imo, let him win.

I can take pictures of the garbage truck if you want!

Here in Canada we have damn cold winters, everyone knows that. I posted an ad on a web site and a guy called saying he had ultra rare Atari stuff for a deal. I had to be quick, there seems to be a lot of colletors around here, stuff is selling fast in local ads and all... but there were a snowstorm outside. That the hell, that may be the greatest deal! So, I put my coat, my boots and my tuque on and get outside in the cold -34ºC (you do the conversion), with the wind that drops the temperature to -65ºC! What the hell, I got clothes to confront that. Walking through 18 inches of snow, after walking for 15 minutes, I lost a boot in the snow.. and in a storm, finding a boot in 18 inches of snow is like a needle in the hay.. so I continued.. the wind was slashing my face and to make things worse, all the route to his house was uphill! After 15 more minutes I was knocking on his door. Finally. He presented his collection: A vader Atari 2600 with Missile Command and Combat. WOW! How much did he ask again? That was 50$! I know canadian dollar isn't worth much, but it's not that bad! I finally got the lot for a more reasonable 20$. I had now to go back to my house. Since I had to pass like 30 minutes with this guy, snow had melted so my socks were all wet. Outside, it took a thousandth of a second to freeze. And remember, I have only one boot now. Damn it was cold, the temperature rose a bit but the wind was stronger and in my face now, freezing it hard as ice. I didn't feel my frozen foot anymore, my fingers were unresponsive to my brain commands and my eyes were merly opened. One bad thing was the return path was uphill too, damn it. I arrived at home finally. Took a day or to to unfreeze and plugged the Atari in... not working! I took it outside and threw it as far as I could in the snow, cartridges included. The next spring, you know what I found when the snow had melted? My f*ckin atari. I smashed it apart before throwing it in the garbage.. that was probably the first time I had some pleasure seeing the garbage truck compacting the trash.. hearing the sound of cracking plastic was suddenly a symphony to my ears. And yes I am in Canada.
