Combining an obvious repro with a bunch of fairly common carts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Game-Lot-13-cartridges-w-rare-title-Color-Bar-Generator-repro/184244829607?hash=item2ae5d8fda7:g:zJgAAOSw46Bd3FLJ At least they acknowledge that the rare cart might be a repro (and they obviously are) but it's still shady. They do this in multiple auctions.

mumbai Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) The first line of the listing: "I have no idea what I have" ... but let's open things up @ $399.99 ?! Should I laugh or cry?
