pinball22 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280287553607 Is this a repro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is this a repro? I'd say so. CommaVid prototypes have just a standard white label. http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/c...kewalkproto.htm I've never seen one like that and can't imagine why they would have made one like that.

It's a way of showing it's obviously a repro. Bought it as a proto my ass. I didn't make it but I know who did and they would NEVER pull the wool on anyone. This has to be 3rd or 4th hand sale for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Most likely a repro but Commavid was a pretty small company so I guess you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have seen only white label proto carts of CommaVid........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I know who made this cart, because it looks just like the one I purchased off of the repo artist too. I still have mine. It has the same "Eprom Cart" on the front. It is not a real Cakewalk, nor is it a prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 From the auction... I do have other ultra rare items that i'll be listing in the coming weeks including a coke wins (or pepsi invaders) proto, yes proto. Also a NTSC Klax proto.

Omegamatrix Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Here is a picture. The Stronghold is real, while the Cakewalk is a repo. "Eprom Cart" was put on the label to prevent people from being fooled by a genuine cart. It's sad to see one trying to be passed off as "I don't know if it is a proto or not" type of auction. Maybe the seller really doesn't know, but most cases they really do know it is a repo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Next time it will read "Someone is ripping you off!" on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I prefer "I can't believe it's not butter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I prefer "I can't believe it's not butter". CPU, you should definitely start putting "I can't believe it's not butter" on your carts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beard Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Next time it will read "Someone is ripping you off!" on the label. BTW -- I just want to say how much I appreciate that your (and others') repros are clearly labeled as such, and not just because I hate seeing auctions like this Cakewalk one. Fact is, I'm no expert myself and who knows, in 20 years I may want to sell this stuff and I'd hate to think I might forget the origin of a particular cart and misrepresent it out of my own ignorance. My mind's already slipping and I'm only in my mid-30s. I suspect by my mid-50s, my powers of recall will have dwindled considerably. Besides, it's just the classy thing to do. So thanks.

Dino Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I prefer "I can't believe it's not butter". CPU, you should definitely start putting "I can't believe it's not butter" on your carts! Or maybe "EXTREMELY RARE!! L@@K!!" just to cut down the (re)sellers workload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnidog Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So, then what is this Repro Eprom cart really worth ?? I put a small bid amount on it, and was outbidded anyways.. Paulie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So, then what is this Repro Eprom cart really worth ?? I put a small bid amount on it, and was outbidded anyways.. Paulie ~$35, due to time and cart case. I don't even remember how long ago this was made, but it was a looong time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnidog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 My bid was cancelled, and the auction ended...I smell foulness in the air..guess the lister didnt like the low bids on this particular item Oh well Paulie ( GINNIDOG ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Maybe it got repossessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnidog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 This item has been relisted : http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-2600-Cakewalk-RE...A1%7C240%3A1318 I just find it odd, that the initial listing was cancelled the same day the it was supposed to end.. Lister also modifed the description, stating it is as a Repro/Fake/Phony, etc etc etc Happy THanksgiving everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 This wasn't enough for some of you JERKS at atariage who immediatly assumed I was trying to pass off a fake as an original. So just to be clear, this cart is FAKE, BOGUS, NOT REAL, NOT GENUINE, REPLICA, PHONY, ECT,ECT,ECT. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
