homerwannabee Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 How on earth did this sell for $200? The bidders seem legit. I don't get it. I have never even seen this sealed in box for half of what this sold for. http://cgi.ebay.com/Starpath-Supercharger-Atari-2600-expand-gaming-games_W0QQitemZ260477811312QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games?hash=item3ca5affa70&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 As we have no way of checking how it works, it comes “as is”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Looks like a bidding war between three bootcamps (Navy slang for n00b). I bet the seller is pretty happy! I thought $40 was a tad high when I got my second SC. For what it's worth, that Arcadia label might boost the value of the SC by a few cents...

ninermaniac Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I agree with the n00b idea on this one. You never know though. Someone could have had thier buddies bidding too. Unlikely but I don't rule anything out anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Well, with the right mods, an Arcadia brand SC might be worth $50, but I still can't justify $200. Even if it was never opened, I'm not sure if it would be worth that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another one yesterday that went for 60.00 I wanted it but when the bid went past 50 I lost interest. Bet if someone waited till it was close to xmas and put one on ebay with the right info they would do very well. I heard you can also use the star path to play roms off your computer is this true? I'm wondering because I just bought one off phantom on this site. great guy by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videogamecollector123 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thats is way to pricey, I paid 40 bucks for my supercharger with Phaser Patrol, Communists Mutants from Space, and Fireball all boxed, so yes a bunch of idiots got into a bidding war.

No it's more like he is trying to see if the 2nd highest bidder will bite, or some other buyer who would happen to stumble across the other auction and this auction without having a full knowledge of how much it is worth.

I'm watching this auction for amusement to see if it sells. Couldn't believe the other went for $200. there should be a forum for our amusement just for crazy stuff like this. I'd feel bad for the winning bidder but there are many ways to find out what something is worth and these people didn't take that time. I wanted one but knew to find out what it was worth so I checked on this site. I have one now and paid less than one quarter of that. Now I'm looking into a Harmony cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm looking into a Harmony cart I was looking at that 200 dollar auction, for days its was 4.99 and I thought I could snipe it at the last second for like 15 ~ 30 bucks and out of no where it just skyrocketed. I'm watching the other auction as well to see if anyone will bid on it. -Disjaukifa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
