Spriggy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Quiet at work .. so did a little casual investigating. beardman32 was the clown who started the ET topics here on AA, as linked above. Here and Here. gamewizard69 is the seller currently listed on ebay. The same cart as show by beardman32 on AA last year. Here. gamewizard69 user id history shows a previous id of zang32. Similar format to beardman32. and gamewizard69. Here. gamewizard69 seller feedback shows he has previously sold a Little Samson instruction manual and an Atari 2600 Sea Monster (Puzzy) cart. Here. beardmans32 stated he had 2 copies of Little Samson & boxed copy of Sea Monster, in the AA thread. Found a reddit entry by zang32, which pretty much answers the question! Here. Amongst the questioning comments (same shit show as his topics here), mentions buying 2 copies of Little Samson and carries on with the same grandiose language as used in his AA topics. Hence, it's safe to believe ......... gamewizard69 is beardman32. #EDIT#. Oh. His tacotube channel video, imbedded on the zang32 reddit. No time to watch at work. Here. ............... and he has a beard.

Swami Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yup. The description contains a similar type of mild grandiose sensationalism. mild? Three top asshat comments: 3. Thought I was trying to lower the value of his cart by wondering how many others were still out there in parents' basements somewhere. 2. Had no idea what Stella was, but pretended to be "the" expert on this Atari cart. 1. Revealed AA member's confidential bid publically. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/290143-extra-terrestrials-atari-2600-on-ebay/#findComment-4257529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spriggy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Wait, so he didn't really sell it for $16,500? Just decided to flash a bunch of money? I'm confused. It seems so. He trundles into AA like king shit, sprouting about owning one of the rarest games in the known universe. Gets schooled by AA troops in the know. Doesn't like the rebuttal. Makes up a baloney story about selling it for big $$$ ... flashes his monopoly money and says "see ... I told you so. I was right!" 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/290143-extra-terrestrials-atari-2600-on-ebay/#findComment-4267793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Cade Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 What an ass clown...

Captain_Combat Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Did someone just buy Canada national gaming treasure for 90,000? I know he received a lot of exposure from two media articles and had a watch count of around 278 which doubled or tripled the count after the articles.
