edintv Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi, To be fair with all the Users, I will run a 5 day auction for this unheard of Software. only two exists so far and I have both. I will keep one and I will keep the other for now. The Auction will work this way: You Pm me with your bid and I will update this post with the maximun bid so far (no mention of the bidders) is optional to post Pm sent since the bid could be guessed. No problem if a bidder post his bid. I think is the most fair way I can think off, everyone has the chance to bid again if you are being outbid, like in every auction site. I was a bidder in a couple of auctions here and I didn´t get a answer if I where outbid (I maybe could bid again) The first Bid is 200$ confirmed last night. Happy Bidding and thanks for watching!

I can test the Tape if the winner ask me to. I have a compumate and I can play it in my "new" Atari Walkman. I have a dilemma, I was away (attending my family) yesterday and I didn´t update the Auction properly, So many bidders didn´t recieve feedback of theirs bids until too late, especiall y People from Europe. and since the all the bids except the first one where made on sunday, I think is better to extend the auction one more day. It will end tomorrow morning at exactly the same time I started the post, no more extensions. Sorry for this, is my first AtariAge Auction experience. Current bid is 555$ Shipping is to be arranged with the winner, also the testing of the Tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder007 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 This is what I hate about these types of auctions. If Sunday is the ending of this, then it should be Sunday....even if you are away. You should have used gamegavel or something. Now, I have lost confidence in you and would have bid for more. I planned my bidding according to your timeline and now it has been extended....wow.... If you put something of high profile in the future, I will definitely not commit to the bidding. Maybe this is an omen....I am glad that I did not win because I have a very big feeling that there are a hundred more of these in somebody´s closet in Venezuela...reminds me of the compumate, ikari, motor story. Everybody knows my integrity, contributions and niceness (I never get mad and I am very patient....I do not think I have ever sounded off in these forums) but something like this really pisses me off...especially when there is a track record of this type of item showing up and then fooling everybody. I can imagine the next post, "oh, after I came back from my family, my friend called me telling me that there are 50 boxes like this next to these boxes that say Ikari and Compumate." Sorry that I am mad but as a huge contributor and buyer in this hobby, I think this was chicken sh.t. A word of advice to you....stick to what you say, if you continue with these shenanigans, you are going to lose a lot of respect in these forums. I do apologize for my rant but I feel better saying it, especially when people try to take advantage of me.....these types of things really makes me revaluate my future in this hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I´m very sorry that you feel that way, and I completely understand it. In fact, I regret the use of this method of auction, I should listed in Gamegavel for a week and people just increase the max bid and go to sleep. That was my inexperience. I took some bad decisions and I think the way of compensate them was to add one more day. One of the mistakes that happen, was a post about the last bid recieved (when you where outbid) that I write, hit "add reply" and go to sleep, turns out that was a browser or connection error and the messsage was not posted (you can see a mistake post here, when I refresh the web page) was very unfortunate that you where out of the country. and didn´t get the message. I´m very sorry for this sitution and please accept my apologies, but I keep getteing offers and petitions and I thought that the best thing to do was to extend one day more. I didn´t count that the people will start bidding the last day and last minutes, like you do with Ebay. My intention was that the Tape was keep in hands of Atari Age Members. I promess to everyone that if I find more of these, I will not let the price drop, your investment will be protected. And the money I recieve will be invested in do a Warehouse "expedition" that AtariAge gets first the news what I found. I was not trying to take advantage of nobody, I even recieve a last bid when had passed a half an hour of the additional bid and I didn´t take it. You where outbid about 9 pm in your time IIRC and because i didn´t update the post you could bid more. the additional day was also to give you a chance and the Europeans bidders who the time difference is a huge factor. I learn for my mistakes and I will do different next time. I apologize to you and anyone who feel like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Leach Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Ive spent tons of money with this member edintv and I do no think he would intnetionally try to screw over anyone. His items always arrive. If theres a problem he takes care of it. His prices are more than fair.....and if he doesnt have what you need now, just wait..He is always listing something. Great to deal with no matter what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player 0ne Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i have had good help from edintv. we are all just jelous because he is PITTFALL HARRY digging though the ruins of warehouses is search of rare atari treasure. lets see how generous the winning buyer is. he will get his songmate tape in a few weeks. can we expect to see him post the ripped wav file of the tape? several atariage members have compumates, so that file would be an huge asset to the community. also, if he doesnt "rip" it the tape will decompose and the file will be lost forever. edintv doesnt want to rip it. cant blame him. thats like making a mold/cast of your own golden cow. its a sacrilege. Seriously, i picture edintv dodging large rats and scorpions and birds dropping sh*t on him. i think you should get a whip and wide brimmed hat.. dude, edintv, you need to do some PITFALL HARRY cosplay, dress up like him and take pictures. you ARE the treasure hunter.. untill some american atariage member goes out west and tries to dig up the atari dump site.... someone make some new software for the compumate. you could probably sell it..

player 0ne Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 ebay would have been the "fairest" way to go. then at least both the customer AND edintv would have been screwed. ebay and paypal take soo much money. next time maybe he should ask 3x what he thinks the highest bid should be, and just wait a week or so till someone pays for it.. seemed like he was being nice trying to keep it amongst atariage members. they can update the forum, make and sell carts, ect. how hard would a simple unregulated bidding system be. not something that plays middleman or attempts to get a cut. not something that is too strict. a nice quiet and discrete way to auction of just this kind of item on atariage. heck, maybe there allready is a way to do that here. dont send edintv to gamegavel. what, so he can register at some OTHER website? registering name and password and address at a million different websites is annoying, unsafe, and a damn waste of time.. thanks for letting us get a look at your tape edintv. if you ever open yours please scan the pictures or take really good pics of it.

Zwackery Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 ebay would have been the "fairest" way to go. Well, this one on ebay - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140569248560 - with a Compumate thrown in went for $209.37 and this one - eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140612357676 went for $170.49.

player 0ne Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 yea. and after ebay and paypal took probably %22 of the total cost including shipping... well. the seller didnt get what he should have. good to see other copies exist. better chance they will get "ripped" shame atariage members couldnt make a group "pitch in what you can" purchase, then let atariage "rip" the file and you just get to DL the file for your $1 contribution. then atariage could keep the original for safekeeping. and while you only had to pitch in a few buck everyone would have access to the file. maybe even a copied cassette with copied insert. but of course saying atariage or something.

If these weren't coming out of Venezuela, I'd pick it up myself for $170 and have it ripped. But as it comes from V, its probably not worth more than $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
