Ghost Soldier Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Blue Print stands out. Only because I've never seen one. Guess there are suckers everywhere. Reminds me of the yard sale I went to over the weekend. I walked up and she said everything was half price. Everything except the really valuable and expensive 4 switch woody with 6 common games marked 125.00. Even at half price it still would not be worth it. Must be the whole label recognition going on. Its old and Atari so it must be valuable. I laughed my way back to the car. She grabbed the unit and moved it too her little checkout table like I was going to steal it.

When she see's auctions like this before having her yard sale, that $125 price is very reasonable from her point of view. Auctions like that make me cringe as I hope the places and people I buy from locally don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Soldier Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Now would be a good time to dump all those commons with this lot having a bidding war. Curious enough the high bidder has a 20% bid activity with this seller. Yet has a rating of 1 sale/buy hmm. Sounds like power seller has another account and is upping the bid.

Yikes, I bet you're right. Even so, there are still some gullible people because someone has to legitmately want these games at these kind of prices.

THat is odd but what's more odd is that user has 4 bids on four different items in different categories from another seller thus making them an 80 percent bidder with someone else...

lemoncurry Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Maybe someone is mistaking Air Raiders for Air Raid? Seriously, did you guys notice the $500 and $510 bids were placed within a minute of each other? Quite a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll assume most are only worth a $1 or less at most since I didn't feel like reading the names of all 149 carts. Tho there were a few in there I'd been willing to pay more then $2 for if I saw them loose in the wild. Don't know how that would balance out in the end. Cheaper then some people sell, well try to sell, them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely if the seller comes across something like this again he will just dump the lot into the trash can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
