Atari_Bill Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ok, love the Sears stuff as much as anyone else (probably more), but wtf is up with this auction? http://www.ebay.com/...=item41627bf7b8 I've never seen something like this bring this kind of money. In the past these typically go for maybe $60-80. Almost makes me want to sell mine! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 And another auction on steriods by the same person. Coincidentally with the same bidders as the Stunt Cycle stand alone unit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-Atari-2600-Stunt-Cycle-game-box-manual-/280825169964?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item41627c082c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Wow! I haven't seen Stunt Cycle for the 2600 in other auctions but wouldn't think it would go for nearly that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Shillin' like a villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Shillin' like a villain. Bit himself on the ass with the 'Rare Vintage Sears Telegames Atari Stunt Cycle in Box' though. I am sure the second place bidder will be getting an e-mail shortly explaining that the 1st place bidder backed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Shillin' like a villain. Yeah, neither of these are worth that on the best of days even counting in nutball bids. Little doubt in my mind of bidder fraud. I'm seeing more and more suspicious bidding as of late. Just have so little faith in ebay these days.

+cvga Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I agree that it looks like shilling but that still means that someone put a legit 1k bid out there to get the price to that point doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the bidding history it looks like mostly shill bidding. I don't see a legit 1k bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acroman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm looking to buy one new in box with instructions, or preferably still shrinkwrapped, heck even autographed by Polaro too if possible. What would one of those be worth, or do they even exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the bidding history it looks like mostly shill bidding. I don't see a legit 1k bid. If you look at the feedback, it seems someone created an account to win a bunch of auctions from this seller and neg. them for shilling.
