FWIW, this has been in my collection for a couple of years but I forgot about it when I sold off the rest of my 2600 stuff. Besides, posting an item with a $1.00 starting price and no reserve can hardly be though of as trying to rip someone off. Kevin The "hobby" is really getting out of hand.

Facts as previously stated: "These are being sold NIB by several vendors from $2-8, so don't go hog wild on yet another "E-bay special"..." Rip-off: E-Bay auction with no forum for public ccomment. My prediction: some clueless buyer will come along and bid this up because it is sealed in the box without even knowing that a ton of them have recently been dumped on the surplus market. Sorry for the 'rip-off' term though, I was referring to a typical uninformed bidding war on E-Bay, NOT to any practices of yours. the Mav -- Cliffhanger Serials, Boardgames, Videogames, and Red Baron I http://www.volcano.net/~themaverick The Classic Microgames Museum http://www.angelfire.com/ca/themav/micind.html The Macho Women with Guns Homage Page http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/6747
