Shawn Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Not Mine, Seller has zero feedback and the label on the Air Raid has both screw holes exposed. Dunno what to make of it but here it is none the less. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170472271464 Cheers, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Shawn, when using the [ebay] bbcode, please just use the item number by itself. It doesn't work properly if you use the entire URL. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Appears to be the same lot that was on Craigslist a few days ago and was pulled within hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgames Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 label is pretty beat I don't know..... It's the second best one I've seen on eBay this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Maybe I'm dyslectic, but is this guys name "cut away" spelt backwards? No real significance to the auction, but I felt it was an odd name nonetheless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Well I just got word back from this seller and he said it can be picked up locally and paid by choice of paypal or cash in person so that leans towards this auction being legit.

tyranthraxus Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 What a ratty looking lot. Looks like someone heard about the last Air Raid and pulled it out of the garage! You'd think the seller would've provided a better photo or two of Air Raid since they clearly know its value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 A poor mans Air Raid this might be but it's still an Air Raid none the less. I've had a pretty open line of communication with this seller and they are emailing me pictures of Air Raid and the London Blitz carts right soon here. They also confimed to me the Air Raid cartridge is in full working order. Myself I was willing to pay $500ish for this Air Raid cart (I know keep dreaming flyboy it's still worth at least a grand) even on my budget (budget=nil). So I hope the little bit of leg work helps benifits someone else here on AA to get a copy of Air Raid cheaper than if it was a minty one. With that said, I'd still want to pick it up in person just to be 100 percent sure of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Okay if anyone can give me a good idea of what this is worth in this condition it would be very helpful. I bid 1k on this and am waiting for pics before going any higher. I really want this, it would be an awesome addition to my collection. I am also concerned that many more will be up for sale soon(with all the attention Tanman Got) driving down the price or worth of the cart. Anyone have any credible idea what it is worth?

In this condition I think $1k is a fair price but then again I wouldn't be suprised to see someone drop alot more on it even though it's not "worth more than that". It might be "worth more than that" to whoever to have it right now and a foolish high bid is what they are gonna have to pay to own one right now condition of the cart be damned.

+Wonder007 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think it depends on condition. When Tanman was only auctioning the cart, it was at $4,150 and the auction was half finished before he pulled it. So, I think it is worth at least $5,000 in good condition especially since it is now confirmed to be a US release. Since this cart has been opened, I would want to make sure the cart works....especially with it being an eprom. I would be saddened if somebody paid the $3000 and the thing does not work.....if I were the seller, I would make sure this game works, especially for the $$$ he/she can potentially get. The spare one that I have for sale right is in very good condition and I have received offers way higher than $1,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I thought 1000 was a fair price as well, I am still waiting for the pics, It does look rough. I would be willing to go a little higher if I like the pics, but I am figuring that the pics aren't going to make me want to go higher.

+Wonder007 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 My major concern is that it has been opened and the seller has not test it. If he wants to get good value, I would test it......I would be careful.....I have seen auctions like these where they have pulled similar stunts and the buyer(s) get(s) screwed.......just watching out for ya.....

atari181 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 By the way Wonder, If I make it out to LA I too would like to see your collection. I hope soon to be able to give you a run for your money on these high profile auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 So what if it doesn't work, it's got an EPROM inside? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 So what if it doesn't work, it's got an EPROM inside? True....... That is my concern, that this guy/girl opened it up and exposed it to the light...thus, why he/she does not want to prove that it works because it does not...... my two cents... BTW, my Air Raids were great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not mind showing off my collection, the problem is that everything is boxed right now because of my on-going fight with the city to remodel the house. I think I am just going to move; not sure yet. Once I have everything up, you and everybody can stop-by for some Atari 2600 fun..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
