Didn't know there were any reproduction Cosmic Chasm PCB's.

Duh. Tronic was only paraphrasing from the misleading auction text.

Ok, what am I missing? (It says, 'ORIGINAL AND NOT A REPRODUCTION'.)
Or did you mean that sarcastically?
It was actually a best offer, and the seller accepted an offer of $3750. When an item sells with best offer, ebay shows "sold for" next to the original price, instead of the accepted offer price.
Presumably because ebay has incentive to inflate values, so next time someone has one for sale on ebay, they'll see that the last one "sold for $5500" and someone will bid/offer $5000, thinking they're getting a great deal.
I think $3750 is still pretty crazy, but not $5500 crazy.

How do you know it sold for $3750?

Exactly what ebay wants!
I don't think it actually says that the best offer was accepted on the auction page itself anymore, but if you look at the seller's sold listings and find it... you'll see the price with a line through it, and says best offer accepted.
You can put the item number into a tool like: http://www.flippertools.com/tools/e...st-offer-actual-price.htm?itemId=132706291183 , and it'll tell you the actual price it sold for.

Further proof this game is badly in need of either repro boards or better yet an FPGA.
Whoever bought that CC board on eBay for $1k last month got a bargain.

Crazy how much boards go for considering it took me nearly a month to sell a fully populated cp on the forum a couple years ago. Granted prices have skyrocketed since, but I didn't have any interest in the cp as a whole until I dropped the price to $300. Regardless I'm sure if someone repro'd the pcb's they'd sell a couple dozen instantly at whatever price they set.

For my understanding of its hardware the two big hangups in selling repros/FPGAs would be that it used an oddball vector monitor, though I hear it can be modded to use more common ones, and that ridiculously overbuilt spinner which getting replacements for would be impossible, but I'm willing to bet technically it does nothing special that something else can't be substituted for or at least modded to.

As VectorCollector pointed out, I was reading the auction description and noticed they referenced it "not being a reproduction".
So, I had no idea there was a reproduction of a Cosmic Chasm PCB. Maybe the auction seller knows something I don't.
You know all.
You're the Arcade PB Repro King (ApbRK). Finish that WL PCB yet ... or are you going to re-vector your efforts and now do CC? LOL
BTW, www.watchcount.com also confirms the winning bid amount ->
