Albert Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Periodically we post interesting auctions (both eBay and Bidiots now) to the front page. Sometimes we slack on this, such as the leading up from before PC5 to the present. I'm looking for some links to an interesting Atari-related eBay or Bidiots auction that I can highlight on the front page. "Interesting" means it should be a fairly unique or rare item, or maybe a monster auction with 400 unique 2600 games, prototypes, one-of-a-kind items, and so forth. This thread could be used to periodically highlight auctions of this nature, and then I can pick and choose what gets posted on the front page. If you want to suggest one or more of your own auctions, that's fine, as long as they meet the "interesting" criteria. Thanks! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Maybe you could make this thread a sticky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 Maybe you could make this thread a sticky? I thought about that after making the Polls thread a sticky, but I hate over-using stickies. I may do that anyway, since "interesting" auctions such as I am soliciting for are probably of interest to many people, even if they don't make the front page (which most wont, depending on how many people actually post here). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Gallant Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 well would an R7 count for this? R7 Controller however it's PSX not Atari, feel free to edit if you don't think it belongs here. -AG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermChase Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's not often you see Rarity 10 games on eBay, I don't think, so here's Mangia' : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3089838849&rd=1 ----------- Chase Hermsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's not often you see Rarity 10 games on eBay, I don't think, so here's Mangia' :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27180&item=3089838849&rd=1 Yes, but is it PAL or NTSC? If it's NTSC, it's a good auction to post.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It is probably PAL considering it is from Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3090215337 I don't really know what to make of these but, I've emailed the seller and they told me that they purchased these at an estate sale. I don't think they'll sell really high and I don't think the're protptypes but, they are unusual none-the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 LOL, he has shitloads of those. He lists them once a week and has for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 What does the fact that he has a lot of them have to do with anything? I know what they are, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I know what they are, do you? Yes, they are Atari 2600 PCB's that are untested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yes, true but I do think it's odd he has a dukes of hazzard that obviously isn't an eprom, it's a rom. This leads me to believe he may have bough from the same place best electronics did when they got their dukes roms. There are some unique looking pcb's (bottom right corner one?) in that auction. This is the first time I've ever seen them on ebay as well. I've search ebay every day for the past four years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 You haven't searched very hard then. LOL He has been listing these since December. I have a ton more links to those. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3065734142 And yes, all the Dukes carts are ROM's, that game was ready to ship but never did.

deathtrappomegranate Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yes, I bid on one of the earlier lots. I think it qualifies as "interesting". Although I also think that the PAL Mangia does, too. Certainly not as rare as the NTSC version, but rare nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 This looks rather nice: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3091077232 No first year joysticks, but the PSU looks original, and some games and docs too.

SimonTemplar Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I think Albert is talking about auctions like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3090290430&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shining slade Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 This one is a little interesting. Anyone know what PB game had a white label?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8101409788&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 i'm guessing that is a homemade label to replace one that fell off. notice there is also a white label on the end of one of the other games...next to circus atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
