atari_envy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Please just give this cart a decent burial (along with the others being sold). eBay Auction -- Item Number: 120840850752 These are the worst I have seen on eBay (even worse than the infamous "bath accident" sale of rare carts that some of you might remember).

hunged13 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 they look like they were submerged in water and then let to rot for 20+ years in a dirty storehouse ...well,judging by the screenshots he must have found them in a trash can...it's the only possible explanation... but look at the bright side, they can be great and inexpensive donor carts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACrystal2011 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cheap cart donor?? I hope you can find one under $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Donor for what, rust? I sent the seller a message & asked if it's in working condition as described in one section of the auction, or untested as described in another section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Here's another nice looking cart they have: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 120840842378 I searched their other auctions, I don't know where they dug these carts up or why they think they are worth putting on ebay. Someone must have too much time on their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just noticed they live in Queen Creek, AZ. That's pretty close to me, maybe I could pick these up and avoid the shipping cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 $4 to ship one cart. I quoted someone on a game shipped first-class yesterday and it came out to being a little over $4 after the delivery confirmation was added (looks like the prices have gone up already, normally it's only $2-something). That's not counting packing materials, plus for this seller, apparent eBay fees for shipping charges. Their price sounds about right.

Chuck D. Head Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just noticed they live in Queen Creek, AZ. Oh, I see; they were obviously dug up from a desert Atari dump site. A true piece of gamning history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just shipped a 7800 cart to someone here at AA in a box with delivery confirmation and it was $2.43. It would have been even lower if I would have shipped it bubble wrapped and in an envelope.

atari_envy Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Is that a cigarette burn? We have seen 2600 cart magnets, wallets, and even lamps. I think this seller is on to something: 2600 cart ashtrays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow - someone tee'd this guy off somethin' fierce! Was that underlined red statement there at the beginning of the auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - someone tee'd this guy off somethin' fierce! Was that underlined red statement there at the beginning of the auction? The angry text wasn't there originally. Apparently Rex Dart's question prompted the flame response. Not only is this a beautiful item, but you can expect awesome customer service too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
