Coolhand20th Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 She came into Chat today trying the same stuff with me and Moya. Trying to act all innocent and trying to drum up business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhand20th Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 OH nvm the fact the "Seller" has three posts and two are on this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Just to be clear, I don't mind folks who have something cool to sell, and I am all for shameless promotion. I just hate when folks lie to us during the process of hawking their items...it tells me a few things: 1.) the seller thinks we are stupid. 2.) the seller is not being honest (to me, this is a clear red flag warning of a dishonest seller). 3.) the seller has no desire to be a part of the AA community beyond the sale of their item(s). I was planning on bidding on this item, prior to the OP. I have since removed the item from my eBay "watched" list. I just don't want or need it that badly, considering my 3 conclusions listed above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhand20th Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Exactly, for those reasons you listed I won't be bidding either. I have no problem with promotion, I just hate when people try to pull this kind of crap and lie to sell their products/games. She pulled this bs in the chat room like I said. Can't stand people who act like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand people who act like that. Agreed I hate that they are lying about it. Unfortunately I bid on this when it was listed and I am the high bidder now. Thinking about canceling my bid. Don't really like doing that but it is kind a shady. I too would be fine if they had just come out and said"I am selling this" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhand20th Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 IIRC Ebay policy is if the auction has less then 12 hours then you can't cancel your bid. But could be wrong. Good Luck 181! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatNJ Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Saw both posts about Tronman Must have gotten from another AA member since he and she werent members at the time but who knows Heres another just signed up to sell threads Hope this isnt becoming a new thing Sign up on AA make 1 or 2 posts just to sell http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/194937-atari-2600-game-cartridge-smurfs-save-the-day-w-instruction-manual-8-rari/page__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the deal-breaker for me -- it's simply deceptive; if the OP would have outright said "Look what my husband/brother/friend/same-last-name-sharer/what-have-you is selling" that's one thing, but to intentionally lead us to believe it was "stumbled upon" makes me (and others, as evidenced) certainly not want to buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Layden Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I am an honest seller, my wife wanted to make sure that the game was actually produced by atariage that is why she was in the chat room earlier. The two members who were on knew nothing about this, she had to do a google search to find a forum about this game. If she were trying to drum up bussiness or bids do you think she would have done that when there were only two members on chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhand20th Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Facts are she came in trying to act innocent and say she had just found it and all this other crap. Yeah I Had never heard of it, neither had the other person, so what. Usually even the Homebrews are in the AA database, this one isn't.

Shawn Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Usually even the Homebrews are in the AA database, this one isn't. It's a hack of Fast Eddie not a homebrew if memory serves correct. And ya the OP is full of shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
