Ummmmmm Man I hate it when sellers do that.

[atarimastermarty]

Moycon, he did that. It was a joke, didnt you read he said about elis ladder and quadrun. Loosen up i found it pretty stupid and funny that he put time and effort into that garbage!

[ATARIPITBULL]

You might get lucky and have some person who knows nothing about atari, buy it for like $50 or so, thinking he got a great deal.

I'd like to see some of the emails you're bound to get from "non atari-age" folks, who aren't in the "gag" know, who'll call you an idiot - or from the people who'll say "really? - my cart is worth THAT MUCH?"

[moycon]

I guess I just don't get the gag. We complain when idiots on eBay do that...So..... Ummmm... Lets start doing it ourselves???? Is that the gag??? Now we're idiots too??? HehHeh... Funny stuff.

 

I get it now.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

 

We're frickin idiots!!!!!!

 

ITS A RIOT!!!!!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHA!!!

I have found this auction today. Very funny. The best part is this:

 

Hell, this game is next to impossible to find in any condition! Get it now before it disappears FOR EVER! If you are unfamiliar with this title, let me put it like this...it is rarer than Quadrun, Eli's Ladder, Demon Attack, and ALL of the Beagle Brother's titles...COMBINED!!!

 

What do Demon Attack in the list of Rarest games?

William Cassidy did a Rare Combat joke auction two years ago .. It was great fun! He included statements like, "It has been seen near rare carts." and included a pic showing it near several. It had white out on it .. so it was a label variation! It went for $0.30

I see that there is a bid of 6 cents on this lot. I hope that the $175 you are charging for shipping will cover the 6 hour delivery promise.

*starts throwing large wads of cash at munkyxtc in an all out e-bay buying frenzy, while yelling GIMMIE. GIMMIE, GIMMIE!*

[maximebeauvais]

You read on my mind

 

I was going to do that with a space invaders tonight...

 

Anyway, I will do it, I want to test my web cam on my new PC

[lonesome_pa]

Hmmm. I have a label-less parker brothers game. Maybe auction it as a "mystery game"; could be a proto, could be Frogger 2, hmmmmm.......

Moycon,

 

I'm sorry that you do not see the humor in this auction, which is unfortunate, but I can see where you are coming from as far as "when sellers do it..." "...we do it now", Actually the point of this auction was to make people see somewhat how ridiculous those "rare" combat auctions are! Don't fret, this auction will never see the end of it's run, as I will be ending it early, and changing the description to a very large explaination, as to why I started this auction, and on to how sellers trick...scratch that, MISLEAD, unknowing buyers to bid on an item because it's labeled "RARE" yeah, you should do your research and know what you are buying before you bid, but the sad fact is that many don't do this...they figure the seller knows best. I hope this better explains why it's up there, and lessens your opinion of me being a complete moron.
