roadrunner Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 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. Really? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 360648414962 It sold for $404 I thought it woulda gone higher based on how the bidding started out.

I haven't ID'd the buyer ... yet ... but they've been throwing a TON of money around lately buying some high dollar items.

I would suspect based on the bidding activity, the location (Germany) and the user ID that it's a different account being used by our very own overpayer, Andre81.

Serious Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've got that one topped! http://rover.ebay.co...360550521718%26 I contacted the seller, and sent this message: FYI, this is a very common game, worth about $10. Your listing came to my attention because it is posted on a funny auctions thread on AtariAge. My assumption is you're an honest seller, and just didn't know how to assess the value of this game. His response: To me the condition of the game is very rare. If you can find me one for $10 in this condition I will buy all. Thank you for your concern. I responded: I can get you some. How much will you pay? I'll be curious to see how high he says he's willing to go, but I think we may be able to help this guy out. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/173466-funny-stupid-crazy-lame-auction-listings/page/20/#findComment-2754871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 He's asking for photos of the game. If you want to send him photos of your E.T. boxes, he may make you an offer.

Albert Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Looks fine to me. Certainly the main label is in great condition, but I don't think it's a reproduction or anything like that. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/173466-funny-stupid-crazy-lame-auction-listings/page/20/#findComment-2758412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Buyer is covered by protection so if it is a reproduction, they just need to file it as counterfeit label. Buyer will get the money back, and depending on if Paypal is generous or not, ask buyer to destroy the fake label and send statement indication it is destroyed.

Serious Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If it was stored in a game case for years, with the end exposed, that could explain the difference in label condition.

That seller likes to switch things around. Add games, boxes, and manuals together and jack up the price. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/173466-funny-stupid-crazy-lame-auction-listings/page/20/#findComment-2758540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
