+remowilliams Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) OMG it just went up. Ready for this ... US $4,750.00 :!: Thats an incredibly high price But I really can't blame the seller if he has knowledge of the wild threshold of the 'hardcore' poke-cart collectors. It's like the NFL or other mass sports - people complain about the exorbitant salaries that the players receive, but its the fans that fuel those prices. People pay $600+ for non-unique Jag carts and thousands of dollars for horrible and non-unique 2600 stuff. EDIT: And there you go - auction over BIN'ed...

lemoncurry Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 He raised it because apparently Wonder had agreed to take it at that price! Wow, wow, wowie wow wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if someone with more money than sense buys it and sits on it just for bragging rights. In which case, I hope another example turns up and an AA member gets it and shares the ROM. EDIT: 2 mins late and $4749 short, I guess -- post #127 above was entered while I was composing this one! As to more money than sense, well... Edited September 23, 2006 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 You collectors are really nuts! With these incredibile prices payed, I start to wonder if I should redo Turbo again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Incredible. Wonder007, did you really buy it? What's got into you, man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 $4,750.00 I was realling hoping whoever bought this would dump it and share it with the community, but at that price you would be out of your mind to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 ñoooo..........que caro. Way to go Jose. I'm the first in line to buy the boxed repro autographed by you (da man). Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 WOW If you are willing to recoup your investment then it is possible. If not you can have one of the rarest things out there, an undumped Atari 2600 title. Less than a handfull still exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hey Wonder, if you decide to do the repro thing you can put me down for a guaranteed purchase. Aftermarket boxes and manuals would also be really cool. Good Luck with what ever you decide to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggs130 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 WoW congrats on getting it! stands in line for a repro if there's going to be one~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I got it. Sell 500 copies at $100.00 each. Nice box nice manual etc. Take $20.00 deposit until they are all sold. Number each box and after they are all sold do a raffle with the winning number getting the REAL proto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Wonder007 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I just wanted to thank everybody for their kind words and support. I have received a ton of PMS and e-mails on this game. Once the dust settles, I will give you more information on the game. PS If I have not answered your PM yet, please be patient. I will get back you.

jmcbride Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Wow, this is really cool! I'm a huge Pink Panther fan and it's so neat to see that a game was made for the old Atari. Too bad it never got released. To the person who has pictures of the other cartridge with the label, can you post these please? Tnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedEye Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Did anyone save the pictures before eBay took the whole thing down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
