Has anyone ever bought anything from galaxybee(then some numbers) He is really Billy Galaxy who wrote the book [/u]Collecting Classic Video Games.[u]
I am considering buying a prototype off of him, and i wanted to know how reliable he is.
I am pretty sure he is, but wanted to know if anyone has dealt with him before.

I certainly wouldn't buy anything from him at the prices he suggests in his book. Quite inflated in my neophytic opinion. :roll:

Funny you should ask.
I just received two items yesterday that I'd purchased from him. They were shipped as described. I'd buy from him again.

Yeah i was going to buy this Qix 5200 prototype from him, but it look like they just took the real sticker off and put a little paper that said "Qix" on it. It started at 50, i dont know what it ended for though.

I can vouch for Billy Galaxy. I'm not going to get into to it with anyone about his book again but he is a friend of mine and an honest seller. I haven't examined that cart closely myself but I did have an Atari 5200 prototype cartridge with similar stickers on it. I got it in a group with some others with the regular "lab loaner" type labels. I don't think that Qix cart got any bids so it might still be available. I bought a whole bunch of stuff from his recent auctions.
