PacManPlus Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Not mine, but I'm not too happy about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-7800-Modified-NE...1QQcmdZViewItem I signed one or two of these at the request of the people who purchased them (don't remember who at the moment).

SINGLE TOOTH Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You're famous! People are bidding on your signature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Huh? The seller is asking $50 for the lot, which is a fair price. I don't see what the big deal is...are you afraid your sig is adding an additional $0.50 in value to the auction and the seller is taking advantage of this?

PacManPlus Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 No no - nothing like that. Someone asked me to sign the cart, and I obliged although I though it was odd; it's not like I'm an 'important Atari programmer' or something (I'm being serious). Now I'm wondering if *they* are thinking it's adding value for whatever reason. I don't know - it just makes me a little uneasy to see it on e-bay. It's like the more exposure it gets, the more chance of someone like Namco noticing (if they haven't already). It's different when it's just within our little community here.

Sorry Bob, I didn't realize what you were getting at. Yeah, that's a legitimate concern. I dunno...maybe let the seller know how you feel (and why) and ask him/her to take it down? Worth a try.

I can understand your concern from that standpoint as well. Maybe not sign things from now on? I suppose since anyone who shops on AA can purchase them they are bound to get onto Ebay etc. I am just sorry, you are too creative and nice to deserve any more undue stress and worry.

It's really two different issues, and I think he's more concerned about the cart simply being on eBay in the first place than it being signed. Signed or not, it has the 'AtariAge' name on it and can be traced back here by Namco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You guys should print "THIS CARTRIDGE IS $1.99 at someexpiredwebsite dot com" on the labels. That might make them harder to resell. or how about a large "DEFECTIVE" right across the label. or "This cart smells like cat shit" I'm sure you can come up with many others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
