Atari_Bill Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ok, am I missing something or has Subterranea become the new Air Raid? I know that's a lot of an exaggeration, but as of this time less than 1 hour after listing, there are 15 bids and at $356?!?!?! Yes, I know the box is desirable, but c'mon.

nofrills100 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Interesting that the seller doesn't show another pic of the Pac Man cart so we can see the main label if it has one. Pacman is standard IMO. What about the console? Is it a sears or a 2800? Do they all look like that underneath... I can't remember if my 2800 had those switches, but it just looks like the manufacture label has been removed and some b/s engraved in about a 'pilot'. His story about his wife working at Atari back when the first console came out, and relating it to this console obviously has one huge flaw in that the 2800 didn't come out til much later... Yeah b/s listing I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariluvr77 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Both the SEARS VIDEO ARCADE II and the Atari 2800 from Japan have underside switches -- the console badge has been removed is all... can't see the controller badges well but the 2800 had metallic badges with "ATARI" and the fuji symbol whereas the SVA2 had "SEARS / VIDEO ARCADE II" on them -- the cartridge looks like a run of the mill pacman game missing the label. The seller hasn't used ebay in 3 years (and has never sold anything) and pops on to fraudulently sell a $2000 item LOL.

atariluvr77 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I just looked at the bottom of my SEARS VA2 -- the auction items is slightly different in that there's a glossy square (for lack of a better term) above the right side switch on the underside, so it MIGHT be a 2800 -- I don't have one to compare it to... but HERE'S a link to a 2800 site that shows the underside and it looks like it has the glossy square... No way to know fure sure though because all the badging has been removed from the auction items and the Sears VA2 might have had a revision with that feature...
