Go for it ROCKY !

I'll be very buzy through DEC.

thanks man
Adam

[nesman85]

updated the list.
atari 2600 klax proto was just listed and already at $300. who is 0s_and_1s? he won a genesis proto i was going for a while ago.
that DC termination board was listed as a proto then the seller changed it, anybody have any info on that thing?

[Tempest]

Ha! The Klax guy linked to my old site. I should redirect him to my new one instead. Much more accurate...

Tempest

[nesman85]

there's a bunch of atari 2600 protos on ebay now, i wasn't sure if i should list them though since they are all from best.
tempest, this guy uses your page for a reference too!

[Tempest]

Yeah I saw that. Pretty cool. Those Best protos could very well be real, as I'm sure Brad found some actual protos in the crap he purchased from Atari but I wouldn't take the chance. Then again why would Brad make copies of Oscar's Trash Race? I should really ask him what's up with those "protos" and get the real answer once and for all.

Here's a few more!

[MattyXB]

I own too some from these Best Electronics "Protos". I haev too Oscar's Trash Race, and it feal heavier then the other from Bet Electronics. So maybe this has a Real Proto Board inside.

But who knows? @_@ :/

[nesman85]

updated the list again.

added a "touch me" atari arcade unreleased proto.
and a gamecube demo arcade.

[nesman85]

i can't find any protos on ebay :(
does anybody see any?

[autobotracing]

I cant find any either ,no test carts,beta's or protos except a ff 11 beta pack

[nesman85]

ok, i found some and updated the list.
the game factory cart for genesis is always listed as a proto but i don't consider it one. i put it in the list anyway though because i think it fits in the "rare stuff not available to the public like demos, but not a proto" category. :D
and the atari monitor and ram/rom testers i don't think are protos either but they look like rare test equipment so they belong here too:)

Good luck for all bidders. :-D LOL

[nesman85]

updated yet again, added a c65 proto computer, and some other stuff. :D

[nesman85]

looks like cpuwiz put a 2600 quadrun proto up.
there's also a bunch of best protos up again but i didn't put them on the list, should i?

[Marc Oberhäuser]

Quadrun Lab Loaner delisted (no best protos there as well)...

[nesman85]

hmm. looks like ebay is no longer allowing people to auction off prototype games because the companies who distributed them out did not authorize their resale. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18421

[MattyXB]

They are back on eBay. :D
Strange things happen on eBay. :o

[nesman85]

they're only back because cpuwiz relisted all the best protos as "proto" instead of "prototype".

[CPUWIZ]

That's right, I wasn't the only one hit by cancellations, a few fellows were hit. I believe they installed a new bot that searches for the word "prototype" and flags them to the employees.

Curt had a few cancelled and he bothered to contact eBay, they said they fall under the beta-software category and hence are no longer allowed. Likely due to Sony and Nintendo going strong on catching whoever they can.

Anyway, they are back and I posted a link to all my auctions in the eBay forum.

Cheers guys, Happy New Year !

[nesman85]

i removed the nes test cart from the list, nes.god(the seller) thinks it is homemade.

[udisi]

I knew something had to be up...I mean there's always an Atari prototype of some kind up and lately the protos were just non-existant.
