atari181 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I bought so much from this guy, he is no good? So much good stuff! the items that he has that are not reproductions are generally way overpriced. As CPUWIZ said reproductions will be cheaper here as well as most of the items he sells.

Sunnyvale CA Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks, I have bought some things of his that were priced at like $200 but I offered $75 and the seller did accept. He used to have some repro boxed sets, but it looks like Ebay pulled them. (Was looking for the Pepsi) He had Pitfall TRON carts recently, like 4 of them, had them priced for $1000 per. But he sold them for $40-75. It was the last I needed to complete my TRON set. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=tron+pitfall&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=07652&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wouldn't pay more than $15 for a Tron cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I bought so much from this guy, he is no good? So much good stuff! I suppose he's ok if you don't mind paying 3x what most stuff can be had for elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wouldn't pay more than $15 for a Tron cart. I think $15 is a great price if you can find the titles you need for that. The seller is dependable but basically just harvests eBay for rare, well priced or underpriced items/auctions and then reprices them at double what he paid. It's an irritating business model as it perpetuates it's own economy. And it also means that if you look long enough and try hard enough, you can get a good deal of items for less. And yes, I occasionally buy stuff from the seller and find them reasonable aside from my philosophical objections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wouldn't pay more than $15 for a Tron cart. I agree. But I would pay $30 for a Smurfs one thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 And yes, I occasionally buy stuff from the seller and find them reasonable aside from my philosophical objections. I would never buy anything from him at ANY price. Just couldn't justify giving him money for those same philosophical objections. Same with RobotkingNES who single handedly ruined the Odyssey 1 market and a few others who happen to stop by this site from time to time.

roadrunner Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Happiest bought another one of those Tron games, the cart is cracked http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pitfall-Tron-Release-T-Handle-T-Handle-ATARI-2600-Video-Game-System-12D-/222116330564?hash=item33b72a3c44:g:CawAAOSwl-FXNReS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
