+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..... That's a major concern of mine too. For all I know it may be Space Jockey inside of it! Got the Pics, The games seems to be in working order, but man the cart is HIT! I don't think I'll be bidding any higher than 1k. That Atari is a bit far from the TV set....I WONDER if he/she is running the game off an emulator and he/she just plugged in the cart to a console..... Man, that cart is very beat up....the handle looks curved....not consistent to what I have..... And, the open screws don't do service to the cart either...just my two cents.

atari181 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Yeah, I am done with this auction. The handle definately look a little warped. In real bad shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus 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!!! I think what CPU was saying is that since it has an EPROM, it is going to fail relatively soon any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two types of eproms, the dead and the dying!!! I feel that with adequate love and care, they can last a long time. Besides, I also like the physical aspects of the carts. These carts are like antique vehicles (i.e. cars, airplanes, etc.), they stop working but they are still worthy to see and touch....and are still valuable and desirable, at least to freaks like me.

homerwannabee Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 EPROM's can be replaced or reprogrammed too. Surprised that people could not figure out that this is what you were trying to say. For those who don't know, the Eprom has no special markings. If I am not mistaken it is just a regular eprom, that can be easily had. Nothing special about it at all.

Actually yes; there are different types eproms, some more unique than others..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 EPROM's can be replaced or reprogrammed too. Replacing/reprogramming them is a gray area for me; I'm not sure if I'd consider restored carts to be as valuable as their original counterparts. Then again, if the person who restored the cart did it carefully, it would be very hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Damn! I was hoping for a repro cart run or something! I would love to have an Air Raid in my collection but can't afford $3k for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Its up to $1k now. Given good labelled, tested copies have sold for $1.5k, this one does not look like good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well I threw a bid up on the newest Air raid auction, now the highest bidder, but I don't see it staying that way as the shit cart went for 1700. Really will be in trouble with the wife if I go too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well I threw a bid up on the newest Air raid auction, now the highest bidder, but I don't see it staying that way as the shit cart went for 1700. Really will be in trouble with the wife if I go too high. With the recent confirmation of Air Raid being an NTSC game sold in the USA it might be possible that the price tag for a loose Air Raid really has gone up that much due to all the new information about it's origins. It's shocking but far from unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the recent hype with the 31k copy and all the news reports has some part to play too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhwolfman Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 1725.00 Reserve not met. Wonder if he contacted the last bidder, and sold it for that amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
