jaybird3rd Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Looks like a conflicting UPC number. I searched for it, and the UPC code for those boxes appears to be the same as that for Intellivision Major League Baseball. The product info in that auction was probably auto-populated from eBay's UPC database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Jaybird is on the case!! But still, dont they check their auctions? Also, how many boxes are they selling for 13.00? looks like a rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product info in that auction was probably auto-populated from eBay's UPC database. Aren't UPC numbers susposed to be unique and never issued again, like Library of Congress numbers, so that something like this doesn't happen?

cparsley Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Not for products they do not consider to be "actively sold" anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Since Ebay are being royal d**** about adding product info to your auction even if the product info doesn't even exist, i'd say he was happy enough to use any product info just to get Ebay off your back. Or it's a marketing ploy, sell the boxes in every category on Ebay. You could be doing your everyday searches and run across the boxes and say, i need those so i can ship my games.
