hollywood3586 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 So about a month ago Matt and I purchased an atari. This wasn't an ordinary atari.. It was sealed in the box. It had never been opened. We bought it off this guy for $40. To me it seemed fair because we have about ten of them opened we paid like $15 $20 bucks for. This is a hobby of Matts. Anyway, we had it on eBay and started it out at $0.99, it has been on there for 5 days and jus ended at $560 plus $15.00 for shipping. I'm beside myself right now. I can't believe it went for that much. I just thought I had to share my good news. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=220724893689 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case (which it isn't) then bummer.I'm sure you're a legit seller and wouldn't ever do something like that. The important thing to remember here is that the blond in your avatar is a fabulous. And well worth at least 3 $5 drinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Video Game collectors are crazy. I have two friends that collect. They have dedicated rooms in their houses for this stuff. Ceiling to floor, it's pretty amazing.My friend has the power glove in his collection. Pretty sweet peripheral, it didn't work worth a damn though. Holly I'd be interested in Excite Bike and Off Road if you have them for the NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
