Opry99er Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Enduro is probably in my top 3 2600 games... But this takes it a bit far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Enduro is an Activision game last I checked. I own a copy. Not rare at all. Never seen a T-handle before though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think all clinically depressed people should go there instead of taking pills. After looking at some of the auctions they'll be laughing so hard they may need to invest in some Depends!

+frankodragon Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There is another thread about that here. But Happiestsellerever is one guy to stay away from after another AA member received pirate discs instead of original ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Tron is a brazilian company that made 2600 games. They used T handle carts for all their games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RichG1972 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 T-Handle Enduro is an Enduro for the arthritic set of people out there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Before this thread gets moved, Shawn already provided the pertinent info, but here's a link to the game's entry: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-enduro_12070.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The problem with any of these sellers, especially those who have skyrocketed prices is that they think they can control the market. It shows a false sense of value. By having the only one listed, they can ask anything they want. It creates an issue though with some people who may own the item, that they think theirs is worth a ton of money because someone else is asking a ton of money. I personally do not buy into all these foreign releases. My gut tells me that someone out there may be creating some of these items currently or in the past few years. As for the argument about costs of molds, they can make the general mold and make a few hundred, take some chips of many different games and throw them in the cart and pop on a label. You then create a market for "rare" variations where only a few of each game exist and they just happen to pop up. This one offered by the ripoff Happiestseller almost looks brand new. I'd have my suspicions. If there is money to be made, people will counterfeit items. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then create a market for "rare" variations where only a few of each game exist and they just happen to pop up. One would think the time and cost involved with that would far outweigh any profit to be made from scamming the incredibly niche market that is Atari 2600 collectors. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's a really dumb business model. How much could you possibly make on top of your costs, a few hundred bucks, tops? And only if you're lucky and some chump who doesn't know any better takes the bait? Doesn't seem worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I sold mine for $15 many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I sold mine for $15 many years ago. I sold my copy of Smurfs by Tron and I wish I never did as I've yet to find another anywhere near as cheap. I got it from bracossi a long, long time ago and felt I over paid at $25. I'd pay that in an instant now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I believe I got all of my Tron t-handles from bonnacorsi. He showed up again, not too long ago, search for it on the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I believe I got all of my Tron t-handles from bonnacorsi. He showed up again, not too long ago, search for it on the forums! That he did ... I bought a couple of rare Intellivision oddities (A Shock Vision game from Brazil and a French/English version of Super Cobra). GREAT seller, BTW ... packaged like a pro! If you ever see anything from him, buy it with confidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labels Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why does the link for happiestsellerever!'s sold listings not work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why does the link for happiestsellerever!'s sold listings not work? Because eBay only shows the last 15 days worth of sold listing by a seller, and obviously this seller hasn't sold any recently. Everyone's scared away by his high price.

Ya that was his name! I bought a bunch of weirdo NES stuff from him too. Shame he's not as active as he once was. I tried looking up his old website and found nada. Maybe if I buy the gamesbrazil domain for him he could fill it up with a store again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
