monzamess Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) UPDATED -- now on eBay -- link below -- mods please move to proper category if necessary. Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=130259854192 ------ I have a legit Coke Wins! cart--I mention "legit" because as many of you know they were released with no label and could be mistaken for homebrew. I opened it up a few years ago and verified there is a ROM not EPROM or other programmable chip onboard. No pics yet, forgot to do that way back when. It's the bare cart, no box or anything. I got it over 20 years ago at a flea market outside Atlanta (Coke's hometown). I bought someone's 2600 collection and this cart was in the set. I never thought much about it until I got on Usenet over 10 years ago and read about the Coke promotion. I have an "ok" 2600 collection but this cart is, by far, the most valuable thing I have in that set--not that I ever wanted to sell it! However I'm now in a situation where if I can get enough for it, I will sell it to help replace a piece of jewelry my wife lost. So with the recent changes on ebay, and the introduction of CTCW, and other venues... I'm seeking advice on what this might be worth, and where to sell it. I've searched old threads here but information is spotty. Thanks for any advice. Edited October 6, 2008 by monzamess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could find a copy at a flea market. Anyways, like i put in my pm if you need access to a camera, I'm in Georgia too and maybe I could help ya.
