fiddlepaddle Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 She keeps calling it a repo. I don't think this got repossessed, though based on her words, she may be possessed. It's sad how someone can pay over $1k for this, even in Aussie $$. Phil "Repo": Repost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looks like Stardust won't get his conversation piece. Bet it is false bids, something will happen, and it will get pulled again. Yeah, no way this is worth 3-4 figures. Let some other jackass have it. Aand it's up to $1,000.01 AUD now...

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's only that high because my name is mentioned in the auction. I noticed that too. Just curious what deals or communications you had with the seller that made her mention you in the auction listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Its because you started the thread, pangasinan. Appears she bitter about attention being called to her auction, that it didn't slip through the cracks and sell for the big bucks she hoped for. That's my guess anyway...

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 1475 now... Some of the bid has to be fake. Not so sure. The lowest feedback score of any bidder is 26. Definitely not fake accounts bidding on this item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Not so sure. The lowest feedback score of any bidder is 26. Definitely not fake accounts bidding on this item. I am sure the 26 is a shill bidder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I find this pathetic. Yes I agree with CPU that the person with the 26 fb is most likely a shill. Just look at all the bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with more money than common sense. I would expect 0★ or 1★ people to place shill bids. Not those building an actual reputation. I was the 108★ feedback on the fake Air Raid, and stopped way before the bid amount got stooopid. Regardless, serves Rosa right if she gets shafted by shills. That's Karma for you.

If you know it's getting shilled you don't have to care what you bid or from what account cause you know it's only going higher with other fake bids. Namely fake bids from the seller themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Anybody read the feedback she has left for others? A nice selection of negatives there. Effectively calling one seller a liar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBARofPittsburgh Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 OK, forgive my ignorance, but are Atari repro carts a rare and valuable thing? I know you can get NES repro carts for about $50.00 new. Are Atari reproductions harder to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The game cart itself looks legit but I'm not solid on the VHS style clam case. But since it's either a third party title or vintage knockoff, there's no telling what the company might have used for cases. Box is 100% repro, cart is genuine. The whole offer is $10 worth at most.

LOL If cheap-ass repro stuff is what you want, be my guest. Try to collect these instead: http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-2600-vcs-p_total-page-step-publisher_33-1-200-2037_2_G.html Highly collectible, genuine clamshell games.

nofrills100 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't even entertain the idea that any of these bids are real. I can guarantee you that they are either shill bids or fake accounts having fun bidding this into oblivion. Shill accounts can have reasonable feedback too, especially when they win their own item and leave positive feedback for each of their accounts, and later mutually agree to cancel the sale and get their fees refunded. The other item being sold is also 100% shill/joke bidding. A real boxed Taiwan zeller-type cartridge would not go beyond $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
