SIO2 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Because eBay is such a pain to deal with it is worth more than $15 extra. Just buy from Albert. He does a fantastic job and has reasonable prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Agreed. I wouldn't buy any homebrew game on ebay, period. AtariAge, Collectorvision, Pixelboy, Gooddealgames...and many others give us options to buy games at "retail" prices Edited November 15, 2016 by eightbit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Why are people selling Atariage homebrews on ebay for very high prices? I seen one that's $15 higher than AA Because many people interested in the 2600 have no idea AA exists, or that it has a store. When I sold off my AA homebrews, I at least priced them just under the store price if they were still available to buy here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 That magnet has been superceded.. Loving the new and improved magnet. Can't wait to get one. BTW, the Trak-Ball series end labels are really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 That magnet has been superceded.. This pic got me thinking. I'd like to see an AtariAge wallet card. Something like the official Atari Fan Club card from the 1980's they had.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 When I sold off my AA homebrews, I at least priced them just under the store price if they were still available to buy here. I listed mine at 50% of what you would pay in the AA store. Some auctions ended up being higher than the AA prices. Go figure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) I had to factor in I was selling NTSC versions from Europe, and thus shipping was likely going to be a bit more if the buyers were in the US (as for convenience, I was generally listing with "free" shipping). As it turned out, I didn't have to end up selling many of the NTSC titles on eBay, the majority of them were the PAL versions. And like you VG, a couple went for way higher than the AA Store price.

PhoenixMoonPatrol Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) After finding Zero 5 for the Jaguar for $50.00 cheaper(and brand new,opened) than what its being listed for on Ebay, I sorta don't wanna deal with Ebay for a long time now. Aside from Sega Saturn games and accessories cause Saturn is like Jaguar,you ain't gonna find a large selection of games to buy elsewhere really. Thats the beauty of Ebay,they have mountains of games next to any other site which always lures people in to look. Ebay is really fun to browse but when it comes to gaming its abit of an annoyance with these sellers trying to gouge people like this ------> http://www.ebay.com/itm/NES-Classic-Edition-Nintendo-Mini-Console-30-Games-Brand-New-/332044712830?hash=item4d4f683b7e:g:LmgAAOSwHMJYK1d1 Edited November 29, 2016 by PhoenixMoonPatrol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I still would like to learn how to recode games so when they load they give a screen stating such things as "this is a reproduction purchased from ... for $$$. If Al can figure this out he could put a splash screen in all his games stating they were purchased from his store for $$. That would end the reselling pretty quick.

chas10e Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 ooooooooh the trak-ball missile command is very attractive I usually check out the Web site of a place in the photo on an Ebay auction if it's something I am interested in. I imagine others will as well and discover what a wonderful hobby it can be. I only have one magnet from my very first AA purchase and was a very nice surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
