I believe it was Will Berdan who predicted at the end of the last auction, that another would appear within the year?
Damn, that was fast.LOL
Difference: This one has a BIN, but above the last one's end..(otherwise I would have bought it)

[Mayhem]

I already knew! LOL

How? The seller contacted me directly as he saw I was the runner-up in the previous one heh...

yeah, that's how i found out; I was emailed due to my bid on the last air raid. (Couldn't we nail this seller for spamming? hrm...)

[tholly]

so i wonder if this is gonna go for the BIN....or are we gonna see some more crazy bids

[Balloon Fight]

Well I place my MASSIVE $15.98 bid.

...Damn already outbid.

I knew another would pop up as soon as another owner saw how much it goes for. Just common sense.

Here's the thread over at Atariage:

It's not for the faint of heart. This game was acually mixed in with a lot of other Atari things with a $100 BIN. :eek 2: God, my head hurts. Why the hell couldn't I have seen this?? The pain, the agony.

How in the hell was this auction up for 4 days with a $100 buy-it-now?

Holy Shit. I could've had Air Raid...for $100..

[Nez]

:frustrated:

[SoulBlazer]

Don't be too hard on yourself guys. It's one lone auction in the wild, nothing to call attention to itself, and the cart is a small part of ONE pic. Easy to miss. And the seller did'nt know what he had until someone asked him about the blue cart. :)

[Nesmaster]

WOW! @_@ @_@ surprising no one saw that...... and i wonder why the guy who tipped off the seller didnt buy it :hmm:

[XJR15]

When you see that shit, you dont thinking of asking ,"Um will you break up the lot for me i'll give u 50$" You use the BIN.. 100$.. turn around and ebay it for 3500$...

Or brag to everyone on DP you got a 2600 Air raid on ebay for 100$

<SIGH> idiots =C

[-hellvin-]

I was laugh when people say you can't have great "finds" on ebay because you didn't go hunting for it. Heh.

[anagrama]

That is fucking priceless. Sumguy spots Air Raid amongst a $100 bundle lot and instead of immediately snapping it up and re-selling for 30x profit, they alert the seller to what it's worth instead.
I can't decide if that's incredible stupidity or unbelieveable honesty. The mind boggles, frankly...

[LiquidX01]

:eek 2: Geez, How'd I miss this thread?

That shit just made my stomach turn, Im serious too. I cant believe I could of had the chance to snag that for $100...Duh....

[MarioAllStar2600]

Just figured I would point out to every one this guy is in America NOT Brazil. ;)

Should be a fun one to watch.... the BIN isn't to unreasonable either.

[anagrama]

Isn't too unreasonable? Well, it's more than Air Raid has ever been sold for in the past, and around $1000 more than the last one was at before Mayhem & the winning bidder put in huge snipes.
Like everything, it'll suffer diminishing returns, and the last one went for a crazy price because it was the first in years, not because $3000 is the going rate. I'd be surprised if this one went for the BIN, though I guess you never know. $2500 sounds about right.

but yeah, that's what, 7? copies found in the US now, and 0 in Brazil? Are some people still trying to peg it as a South American import?

[chadtower]

How exactly do people come to the conclusion that 0 have been found in Brazil? Because there aren't any Brazilians coming over here thousands of miles, speaking a foreign language, to tell us about a 20 year old obscure game? There could well be hundreds or thousands floating around Brazil.

A lack of data never proves nonexistance, it only proves you need more data.

[anagrama]

OK, 0 copies are known to have been found in Brazil.
With the numbers of Brazilian carts offered on eBay & owned/sold by Bonnacorsi & co (thousands, easily) it seems feasible that it would have been sighted at some point. Instead, all 7 known copies have surfaced in US thrifts.
How many other Brazilian pirates have you ever seen at a thrift in the US?

I'm not suggesting that is definitely isn't, but I see absolutely no logic in the 'Brazil theory' when not a single copy of the game found so far can be traced to anywhere near Brazil.

I once saw a dark skinned guy with an eyepatch and a parrot in a St Vincent de Paul shop...

[anagrama]

LOL. I guess that's the case closed then!

The first auction was bid on after about 13 hours, and the auction wasn't cancelled until much later. I would guess that the first bidder had no idea what it was and killed the BIN, so whoever tipped off the seller didn't even see the BIN.

[v1rich]

Yeah, I remember that the bidding was up to 300 or 400+ when it was canceled.

[y-bot]

I don't feel so bad now that I know it wasn't up for 3 days with a $100 BIN.

[Castelak]

OMG...

I would of clicked that BIN as fast as I could... but then again once I placed my bid the seller would find out probobly and say "Oh sorry it was 'broken'"

DANG...
