FA: Prototype of Atari 800 XE XL The Last Starfighter on eBay

[boxpressed]

I'm selling my prototype of The Last Starfighter on eBay. Auction ends next Tuesday night.

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 281224985979

 

Here's what I know about the provenance:

 

I bought this about a year ago from AA mod Sauron. Here's the link to the auction thread: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/208202-the-last-starfighter-proto-repro-cart-atari-800xlxe/

 

Sauron bought it from AA mod Tempest. I believe that I am selling the one pictured on Tempest's Atariprotos.com website.

 

I've heard (but can't confirm) that there are only two of these protos known.

 

Tempest bought it at CGE from Bruce at B&C, who obtained it from Atari when B&C bought all of their inventory. Actually, Bruce has a pretty nice write-up of the history of this title in his own eBay listing for a Last Starfighter repro: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140951863831

 

I'm selling the authentic proto plus the repro made by Atari Age.

 

Anyway, I've decided not to collect for A8, so I'm starting the auction for about what I paid for it. A really nice addition to your 8-bit collection.

First and final bump. One hour to go...
