+GoldenWheels Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/301665823602?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 7800 lot with two euro pads and a bunch of games. Only one photo. Includes a bunch of Atari Age titles (from the photo I see Super Pac Man, Jr. Pac Man, Pac Man Collection, Meteor Shower, Scramble, and I swear two of those other labels on the right look like Atari Age games as well, can't read the label). $800.00 OBO (!) But the only games listed in the description are donkey kong, dig dug, asteroids, choplifter, and star raiders. Who puts up an auction with a premium price implying they at least might know they have some neat stuff (the Atari Age titles and the Euro Pads) but doesn't think to list/photo the neat stuff? Nobody in Fall River has had their collection stolen lately have they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+xucaen Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think they don't know how much it's all actually worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldenWheels Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Wow, 7 homebrews in this lot, how strange. That's really what I don't get. A random junk lot with a ridiculous price is hardly rare on ebay. But if you're into the scene enough to buy homebrews but then need to sell them, why in god's name wouldn't you point them out? But hey, he's got Star Raiders! I was kind of only half joking when I wondered it it was stolen.

CPUWIZ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It could be that the picture was borrowed from another auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It could be that the picture was borrowed from another auction. I'm thinking the lot is stolen or someone died. Sad but those 2 options are really the only logical ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This person needs to do a better job taking pictures. Can't even get a look at the games that comes bundled in with the lot, let alone says "many more" after a few described. It's worth about $80-$90. Not $800!

Sad but those 2 options are really the only logical ones. None of these options make sense. They list some of the games in the picture and note the European controllers so I doubt the picture is from another auction. I also doubt that it's stolen since the seller knows that the controllers are not standard. Maybe a death but it would still be odd to call out the rarer controllers yet know nothing about the more recent games. In any event, it's worth more than $80-$90. 7 homebrews, 2 euro controllers and a working base unit should go for over $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was common games with some scarse ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, it's worth more than $80-$90. 7 homebrews, 2 euro controllers and a working base unit should go for over $200. The way I looked at it was...someone could use ebay to search for '7800 controllers', see them easily (they're always on there) and figure out what they are and that they are a little special. But the homebrews are rarely on ebay (granted a google search brings you here fast, but as we all know, we sometimes see 30$ homebrews, still available on AA, sell for 50+$ on ebay, so some people don't google I guess). Hence why the controllers are listed and the games are not? I dunno. Just a puzzling auction. Maybe it was a death.
