homerwannabee Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Seems like auctions of Halloween/Texas Chainsaw massacre are now a yearly occurrence. Funny how so many sellers have no idea that this is not the real deal. Makes you wonder how many reproductions of rare games are out there?

Could be Shawn's then. Love how these folks buy a cart with the words REPRODUCTION, AFTER MARKET or FAN MADE included in the description but they fail to echo these statements when it comes time that they are bored of the game and want to sell it to another.

homerwannabee Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Funny how so many sellers have no idea that this is not the real deal. Trust me: this is only the beginning. Yep, that is because no one really cares to stop it. The repros will continue to be produced, Ebay will continue to refuse to pull these auctions, and so in the end the consumer gets ripped offed. But hey thats OK, because Caveat Emptor. Buyer Beware! It seems the consensus is that if you are too ignorant to figure out this is a repro than you deserve to get ripped off. Because I personally can't stop the process, I try not to care as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy wouldn't know one from the other, it's a Halloween collector. That's how the other Wizard proto disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice that the alternate version sits on some God damn shelf instead of in our consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are you guys implying that the seller doesn't know the cart is a repro? I wouldn't know it was a repro either unless someone here said that it was. It looks legit to me. Don't even see any marks on the cart. I don't know if the games were ever actually sold in a 'double ender' format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I don't know if the games were ever actually sold in a 'double ender' format. No, we use XONOX double enders as donors. EDIT: I see that at least 2 people are willing to pay $30 shipped for it already. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that people will PM you, but I really doubt anyone bidding on this is a member here. Usually you learn pretty quick that these things are fakes once a member. But hey I guess it couldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetset Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yep, that is because no one really cares to stop it. The repros will continue to be produced, Ebay will continue to refuse to pull these auctions, and so in the end the consumer gets ripped offed. I wonder did anyone report it? I agree Ebay is too lax when it comes to pulling reported auctions, but you can't blame them if nobody did actually report the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Here is how it works. Someone on Atariage or another website makes a few double enders Halloween/Texas Chainsaw massacre carts. Then some of the buyers then resell these carts on Ebay. Except that when they do they sell them as AFTERMARKET. Then some bidders, usually the highest ones have no clue as to what AFTERMARKET means. Those buyers in turn sell the games as authentic original games. And then some of those buyers buy it not knowing that it is a reproduction. And that is how people get hosed. This is clear evidence that not everyone is familiar with AtariAge. It is a huge mistake to actually believe that everyone who collects for the Atari 2600 is a member here. Obviously the highest bidders would never of placed their bids if they believed this to be a reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_envy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I don't know if anyone reported it, but eBay doesn't care. A week a ago,a couple other AA members and I reported Mr. BillyBathtub's fake Quadrun, Diagnosis Cart, Crazy Climber and eBay did not pull or respond.
