That's one of my peeves. Seller who seems to have different standard of condition.

[OBO]

And the worst is these things are "SOLD".

[Atari_Bill]

Why in the world would anyone buy even a MINT Coleco DK for $4.28 let alone one in that condition????? I have 14 in my extra pile downstairs. All are in better shape than that!

"Hello, I am a new seller but have been a perfect feedback buyer since 2006. I'm selling off some of my collection as I am going to be buying a house in the next year, I don't need to sell but like to remain financially responsible and would prefer some extra money in the bank.

Part of the fun of collecting is the journey that I will surely partake in again sometime in the future

but for now I offer you some great games. I will strive be be the best seller possible and will ship all items responsibly as I would want to receive them. All games have been tested and in perfect working order. Thank you for looking/buying !

Really???

 

Nothing like price gouging to the tune of a 5x mark up.

He just want money so he could buy 5 Red Sea games and resell for 5x in the future.

"From what I remember, the game console reset button is not working but the unit functions fine without it. I have not tested the other items in the lot but they are in good condition so I'm pretty sure they'll work"

 

And he mentions "Sonic the Hedgehog" but where is it in the pics?

[Atari_Bill]

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. Really?

Prototype??

The ol "my wife worked at Atari" back in the day story....

Doesn't add up in my opinion, but perhaps I'm wrong.

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

[atariluvr77]

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.

Edited May 3, 2013 by atariluvr77

[atariluvr77]

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...
