Mitkraft Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thank you both for the replies. I did a search and didn't see a thread with much information on the sale or where the buyer identified themselves. Is there one? If not, did the buyer actually pay the full $3900? I'm curious given what seemed like some shill bidding at the end. I'm still really shocked to hear that this was a legit and completed sale. But if y'all say so, I don't doubt you. I'd love any details about how this went down. I actually have a non-gaming item that would be in a similar situation (super rare but un-authenticated) that I'd love to sell but have all sorts of concerns about trying to do so through eBay. legit, AFAIK. A member here purchased it. Yes. It was legit, purchased in person after the sale by a member here.

+stupus Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yes, I got all the details from the buyer and he said he didn't mind me sharing info but since he hasn't been quick to do so publicly I don't really want to either. But I will relay some basic info about it. He won it on eBay, but it got really crazy with the seller and it almost fell thru after the auction end. Both he and I believe there was still bidding by the seller at the end. But he still did a purchase in person at a game store that was within both their general area. So he was able to analyze and play it in person prior to final sale. The people were pawn types, resellers etc who obviously did not know videogames or how to go about selling a rare item like this. They spooked so many people with how shady they came off. So in the end even with their shilling they didn't get what the others have sold for. But it's a real 4th copy and in the hands of a good collector so all ends well for this Any more details than that I will let the winner divulge if he so chooses. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/74/#findComment-4170644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. Mystery items are against ebay policy and there is a selection for it in the report item dialog. Listing Practices -> Other Listing Practices -> Chance Listings The listing has an opportunity to win an item or prize either by chance or in connection with a skill contest. This also includes grab bags and mystery items.

Swami Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Maybe it's me but tested working ones are $150-300+.(ebay pricing) So getting a TRUE untested one for $70 does not seem like a really bad deal if you needed/wanted one. A power cord is like $10-15 and video cable should not be much more. Last tested working one I bought a couple months ago with power supply off eBay was $90.

HoshiChiri Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Beamrider-Colecovision-Complete-In-Box-1984-Collectors-Quality-Adult-Owned/123595975947?epid=56258407&hash=item1cc6e4ed0b:g:HWoAAOSwWB5b1zb-:rk:4:pf:0 I would advise anyone here to use caution (or preferably flat-out avoid) this listing. I actually bought this, and returned it as defective- the board had somehow become wedged up in the shell, so the connector end showing is 1/8" shorter than it should be. Needless to say, this meant I couldn't get the game to load at all. So, now the guy's relisted it with the exact same photos but added the line 'game is a little finicky' to the description. Unless he managed to pry that board back down, it's not finicky, it's a 100% fail rate. I'd report the listing, but I can't a find a combination in the drop-downs to let me... so I opted to just give y'all a heads up. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/74/#findComment-4198408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldenWheels Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nice PCE deal ending in 4 hours. NO PS or AV cord, but good game selection, system card 3.0, and the XE1 joystick make this a nice grab at the opening bid IMO. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-PC-Engine-CD-ROM-2-Console-System-w-10-Games-Joystick-Original-Controller/153378776706 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/74/#findComment-4223013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, with the info I have been provided I will say it is in my opinion 100 percent real. The only person who could say different with any merit at this point is Steve Stack himself. So in closing, yes the Red Sea Crossing without end label sold on ebay was and is legit. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/74/#findComment-4223578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if he had any of the other 2 tapes and he said he only got a box of Harmony tapes. There was no Handy or Greedy tapes His packing job isn't the greatest, I've not opened the package yet, I'll report back if the cassette and case are in one piece. Makes sense that he is local to you if you also found these in bulk in your area in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/47434-wanted-interesting-auctions/page/74/#findComment-4224658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
