Wow, I was expecting to see someone wishing with a Buy It Now auction.
End price of $510.00 is just crazy.

its a pawn star fake auction..next week on the show they find a working 88 and since the marquee is worth 500 the game must be worth 10k..........

ya know...I would not doubt that. Those guys are ripoffs. They actually had something of mine from childhood on there (the Superman record player), and when I saw it I freaked out..it even had where I wrote my name on it when I was 7.
Anyways...I contacted them after the show to ask them about it (we sold it at a Florida flea market when I was 12, it wound up in Georgia then in Vegas). The guy sold it to them for like $125. When I asked them about it, they said it'd be a few weeks before it went out. So I called them back two weeks later (actually spoke to Chumlee).
Their price?
$500.
No shit.
So I did some eBay checking...and the highest one that sold for was $600.
The ONLY one that sold for that high. The rest sold for around $100 at most. And like that auction above, some a**hole came in at the last minute and sniped it from $70 up to $600.
I want Rick to call in his buddy the expert on beat-downs, because I have a vintage can of ass whupping waiting for him.

Not at their price of $600, when its only worth like $150. I did contact History Channel's producers about doing a segment for the show where I'd retrieve it from them, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

All it takes it two to drive the price to Crazyville.
Now, if the winner actually PAYS is another story.
You do know that's optional on ePain now, right?

Read the other thread and you will see what happened. A member here put a max bid of 500 cause he was going to be away from his computer thinking it wouldnt go above 200. Other person either did the same thing or was using sniper software.
