This one is a puzzler.

It is a Journey t-shirt with an Atari tag that says "not for resale". So it seems like some kind of promotional material.

 

The arcade game was Bally/Midway, and the 2600 game was from Data Age, so.. what the heck is this??

It might be a factory mistake or a 3rd party knockoff.

Who has $2,500 to buy a GBA game? I think this is more of a show-off "look what I have and no, you can't have it!" than an actual attempt at selling something. And, according to NA, it's only an R4!

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 2612441884961?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&camp

 

I keep seeing these types of comments, this is not directed at you atari2600land, but everybody uses different types of search methods. Sellers know this, so they make one item in their store or listings, ludicrously high priced. What happens next...

 

1.) Collector of searches ebay.

2.) Collector gets bored digging through countless of crap.

3.) Collector filters search results, to sort by highest price item in their category.

4,) Collector finds insane price for a rare game.

5.) Collector decides to look at the sellers other auctions.

6.) Profit!
