I'm sure that figure falls way below $50K. What an idiot. People like that just tick me off. Stupid people really bother me. With such a rare item, it's only worth what people will pay. I guess the same could be said of anything, though. |

Come on guys, obviously he doesn't have the cartridge (see my 1st post). In addition, he claims the cartridge was part of the prize, when in fact it was used as a tie breaker. His story is not consistent with atariage, who actually had a copy of the cartridge. From the URL listed above: --- Quote ---Unfortunately for Imagic, there were a lot of good Atlantis players. In fact, more than four individuals maxed out the score, so Imagic had to figure out a way to decide who the top four would be. They created a special contest version of Atlantis, that they called Atlantis II, that these top scorers would use for a tie-breaker. Atlantis II is basically the same as Atlantis, except that it's faster, harder, and lower scoring. Contestants were sent a letter telling them that they qualified for this shoot off. They were to recieve in the mail the Atlantis II cartridge, along with the snorkeling set and t-shirt. According to Imagic, "We've designed this contest version of Atlantis just for you experts. Those tricky Gorgons will still thwart you at every turn, but now the battle will be more fierce and the points scored for direct hits will be less. Are you expert enough to meet this challenge and save Atlantis from the dreaded Gorgon death ray? If you're brave enough, read on." Contestants were to play the game for only two days and then send in their high scores. --- End quote --- What would be funny is if someone here started another identical auction, but printed out the 'imagic letters' in color and noted that they are not 'black and white fake copies' like some other auction. Also, offer it up at $1,500,000. :laugh2: |

We just can't resist the urge to let him know that his price is 50 times higher than warranted (if the product is even the real deal). |

--- Quote ---I'm not in the business of loosing money. --- End quote --- Last time I checked, the higher the asking price, the higher the listing fee would be. Does anyone know what the listing fee for 1.75 million dollars is? |

Damn it! Just noticed it's over. And I was going to give him what he wanted plus another 50 Gs. Just so long as he threw in his soul. >:D |
